    Ridley Scott’s Alien franchise is a classic in the world of sci-fi and horror. So like all things that were successful at a certain point in time, Hollywood decided to bring it back in the past decade. Alien: Covenant hit theatres in 2017 and was a follow-up to Prometheus, while also being kind of a sequel to Alien and Aliens? It’s a little blurry.
    Alien: Covenant definitely raises some questions. Like why is James Franco in this? Why are some significant scenes on the internet instead of in the movie? Why isn’t anyone wearing protective gear on an alien planet? How does everyone not see how obviously evil David is? Why did that girl lock her friend in a room with an alien, only to go in a few seconds later after the alien got her? Why does David think that Xenomorphs are so perfect?
    To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Alien: Covenant! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I didnt like how they implied he created the first Xenomorphs, I think it would have been better if it just implied he was experimenting on Xenomorphs due to Weyland programming compelling him to do that.
      However, I do like the idea of a created organism like him trying to use the Xenomorphs as weapons to get revenge on Humanity.

    I can’t really explain it, but at 4:54, the way Screenwriter Guy is looking at his script and delivers the line “Yeah, just the perfect organism.” is one of the funniest and most unique moments in all of Pitch Meeting history.
    It makes it seem like Screenwriter Guy dismisses and ignores Producer Guy pointing out the plot holes. He doesn’t even respect him enough to make eye contact. And then he pretends that everything supports his narrative, repeating “Yeah, just the perfect organism.“ as if Producer Guy had been making positive and encouraging statements about the script the whole time.

During the David /Walter scene where the iconic line: "I'll do the fingering" was said, one friend busted out laughing, followed suit by another buddy. They then proceeded to continue laughing at each other's laughs for quite some time, getting a few others alongside me to join in.

    I feel like Alien Covenant was the directors way of scolding Alien fans who hated Prometheus and wanted an actual alien film, so he pretty much wrote and directed the movie with his buttchecks and shouted “are you happy now!” When everyone hated it

      even crazier that, assuming it doesn't stay canceled, or assuming it does (please don't, I'm fine with the ending of prometheus at this point, rather see "a real alien 3" or "an alien 5 on earth then back to space" far more). Ridley Scott said basically he wanted MORE David involvement in a third film. Like, how? You make him the main character I don't see how they changes anything given covenant made an indentical looking clone as it was. Killing Shaw was also just as wrong as killing Hicks and Newt. Also there was literally nothing in covenant that couldn't have been covered in 30 minutes-like the entire film. Ok add on "Alien vs. Predator in space" I'd also rather see that too.

      @@andreanto8685 exactly! Hell, in the first movie, Ripley didn't want to bring Kane back on the ship after getting attacked by the facehugger because she was afraid of alien diseases, keep in mind that she, and the other characters are the equivalent of truckers in this universe, but somehow have a better understanding of dealing with alien life than scientists in Prometheus and Covenant. And before anyone mentions how the rest of the crew wanted to bring Kane back on the ship, they were worried about their friend and it was mostly the ones who were on the planet with him
