No way, man. Prometheus was a very stupid exercise in literally EVERY character doing ridiculously stupider and stupider (fatally, even) things, one after the other. There's good ideas in that script and I love the "read between the lines" subtext that gives us almost the entire Engineer/Alien origins. It was at least two drafts away from something that would fix those characters.
Covenant... yikes. Both of these movies prove that while Ridley is an amazing visual director, he absolutely doesn't understand script. If he gets a great one, he'll make a great movie. If he gets a sh** one, he'll make a great looking sh** movie.
