Was there an explanation why James Franco was ghost casted in Alien: Covenant?

No one made any sense in this movie. It's as if every character was as stupid as the map guy and his friend in Prometheus.

I don't know if anyone was dumber than those two chicks pratfalling over and over again in that dude's blood while failing to contain that albino alien thing and then - I can't remember, accidentally? - blowing up their own ship.

It was like Ridley Scott soft rebooting Plinkett's colostomy bag.

The husband (Mcbride) of one of them who was willing to risk the life of every person on that ship because he lost communication for 10 seconds.

Yeah, and did anybody have any clue who was married to whom? I think there was a gay couple where that was revealed for maybe two seconds after one of them was dead. Since we didn't know either character or that they were a couple...who gives a F?

The saddest part of all is that the movie somehow managed to make the main character and James Franco (never even alive in the movie) the most relatable couple in the whole thing.

Or the couple who went to the shower to have sex while most of their team is lost or dead. Perfect time to get some.
 
Michael Fassbender shoulda won best actor and best supporting actor, IMO

It was one of those performances like Arnold in Genisys, Van Damme in Expendables 2, Kurt Russell in Death Proof, where one guy tries to pull the whole thing out of the fire.
 
that makes sense about the me too stuff at the same time

Jesus it was so dumb it got into so bad it's good territory. The crew of the ship has the authority to just change the planet they're going to, after years of planning? The planet jist magically didn't show up on their scans. We're to believe Shaw restored David's body after he was responsible for the death of her lover? They just land on the planet and start touching everything and sticking their face in alien plants.

After they meet David they just split up so slasher movie things can happen, even though they know aliens are on the planet. Nobody thinks to confirm walter isn't david. Even though main chick knows David altered his appearance to look like Walter. And with a pair of scissors lol. Stick your face in this alien egg for me buddeh, and buddy does immediately. You blow and I'll do the fingering.


The Benny hill seen on the shuttle. The shower scene on the ship. Everyone being ok with changing the plan because like 5 pods out of hundreds had a malfunction. Killing off the engineers before we got to learn anything about them. The horrible cgi.

I could go on and on lol.

Audience: Prometheus was so stupid. They just take off their helmets on an alien planet?

Ridley Scott: If they don't even wear helmets at all on the alien planet, nobody will complain about taking them off.

Lol then buddy puts his face right in that alien mushroom like HEY WOULD THESE BE GOOD FOR SAUTEING?

Inhales those spores and sneezes and thinks "I'm sure that's fine"

<36>
 
The worst thing about Alien Covenant is Daniels

HEY GUYS! REMEMBER RIPLEY!??!?!?!
 
Funny enough I think most appreciated Prometheus more after the clusterfuck that was Covenant came out.

The biggest fuckup was changing the better parts of the original script from Alien Engineers to Prometheus which is how we ended up in the mess that was Covenant because Prometheus was so poorly received Scott ended up trying to 'correct' things in the worst possible ways.

It was so stupid. He didn't want to face facts about what people actually didn't like, so he made up boogeyman problems (i.e. no xenomorphs) and fixed those.
 
The ending was kinda cool

All those lame characters get killed by David
 
Crazy how Aliens is able to get us to like all these characters in a short amount of time

Shit, Aliens even got us to like Gorman at the end

Crazy what happens when you write actual characters.

Terminator: Genisys
- Please fucking die Reese
- Please fucking die John Connor
- Please fucking shut up Sarah
- Please stop fucking grinning Arnold

The Terminator (1984)
- Wait no, don't shoot the gun store guy!
