So Alien Covenant is supposed to happen ten years after Prometheus and 18 years before the original Alien.
Scott promises to feature all the stages of the Alien, and more "gross out" than the original.
Seems like he's trying to surpass himself.
But it does make me wonder: if the prequels need to surpass the original (like they tried in SW) won't that hurt the impact of the original?
If humans have come across all these types of Aliens already, why would they (Nostromo crew, for example) be surprised if that one appears?
