Low bar. Prometheus and Covenant were trash

Yes. 

But I guess what I was thinking is Ridley Scott claimed he was trying something different with Prometheus. He eschewed the ALIEN label, though he said it's in the same universe. Then he prought Guy Pearce in old-guy-makeup to get his feet washed by Charlize Theron, and a number of other biblical references. Then he said he was going to do it different all over again with ALIEN: COVENANT, this time claiming the label even from the outset. But doing something different! He showed that xenomorphs are just pure killing machines, not to be blamed, but we CREATE pseudo-life like David, and it will rear up to strike us like a mistreated pet cobra. Hell, it will even kill American-accent David though he's a fellow synthetic.

Maybe the truth is the meaning are the friends we met David killed along the way. 

Hundreds of millions spent to make a "different" Alien movie, and Jeunet comparitively managed just that, on scraps.
