Not every comment need be about a fanatical robotic optimization for "relevance". Half the interesting on this site would disappear otherwise, you realize? Besides, what's wrong with mentioning how crappy these movies are (they really do suck) in a post that specifically names them?

Assuming you're talking about Prometheus and Covenant, I enjoyed them. Not quite as good as the first (1979) or the second (1986), but I did indeed enjoy the last two.
It's the Alien:Earth series that I stopped watching after 3 or 4 episodes. I did not enjoy that one bit.
Alien Romulus was also not enjoyable; there was no progression of the stories in the universe. At least Prometheus and Covenant attempted expanding the original story. A:E and A:R didn't even bother - with very few changes, those both could be about any alien-filled universe, not specifically about the one started with Alien(1979).
I'm curious what didn't work for you about those movies?
Just spewing “media x is bad” without any context or explanation is just low effort and low quality discussion.
At best it gets ignored, at worst you start a flame war
So much wasted potential. I'll take any article or theory to retcon the movies into something that makes sense.
Let’s agree to disagree
How is that relevant?
"Could you substantiate that opinion?" is a better way to generate discussion.
(and FrustratedMonky's comment [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45561992] is useful discussion.)
