AgreedCovenant is fine when taken entirely on it's own.
It just ruins everything else. Somehow in 18 years (thats right. There is only 18 years between the events of Covenant and Alien) David has to manufacture the part of their biology that results in queens, get ANOTHER Engineer ship infected, have it crash land on LV-426, and then have it sit there for so long that the pilot fossilizes into his chair with a cargo bay full of eggs.
Ridley Scott needs to walk away from the Alien franchise entirely.
Another way to look at it is that David has the rest of his life to invent time travelSomehow in 18 years (thats right. There is only 18 years between the events of Covenant and Alien) David has to manufacture the part of their biology that results in queens, get ANOTHER Engineer ship infected, have it crash land on LV-426, and then have it sit there for so long that the pilot fossilizes into his chair with a cargo bay full of eggs.
If you look at what David achieved in 10 years and accept the Jockey obviously isn't fossilised (despite what a layman who flies freighters said), 18 years sounds pretty good.Covenant is fine when taken entirely on it's own.

No it doesn't. The Covenant was going to take 80 years to reach it's destination before it's trip was interrupted. David isn't on a Engineer ship any more. He still has to find one, create all the eggs, load it all up, and get it to crash on LV-426 with the Engineer infected. Even if David knows the location of another Engineer world because of star charts or some shit, his ship is still WAY to slow to get anything done in time.If you look at what David achieved in 10 years and accept the Jockey obviously isn't fossilised (despite what a layman who flies freighters said), 18 years sounds pretty good.Covenant is fine when taken entirely on it's own.

There's an awful lot of assumption here, most of which isn't supported by solid evidence (Engineer size aside).No it doesn't.

On top of that, the Pilots suit WAS fused to the chair. You can just see that.
On top of that, the pilot isn't just a big white dude in a suit. It's an actual different organic being. You can see THAT too when watching Alien. Look at the above picture. That guy is atLEAST twice the size of the Engineers we have seen in Prometheus and Covenant.
See bellow, it has teeth in that skull.
On top of THAT, Weyland Yutani KNEW the derelict ship was there when they had Ripley and crew detour to the distress signal. We know that they know because they were sent there on company orders to get that thing and bring it back. It wasn't just a random distress signal. Which means we have LESS than 18 years for the ship to be in place so that WY can find it, have back and forth communication about it, choose the Nostromo as their vessel, and send them on their way in their VERY slow Towing vehicle.
18 years is not nearly enough time. 40 years isn't enough time.
