I’ve just rewatched Prometheus and at the end the lead character has said “I don’t want go to back to where we came from. I want to go where they came from.” Herself and David then take off.

In the follow up movie (Covenant), they end up in another uninhabited place. I can barely remember the movie but was so disappointed by this given I had even expecting something different since 2012 😂

I don’t plan on rewatching Covenant. Can anyone explain that apparent disconnect I have?

    I’ll have to look in to that.

    I’ve found this at avp.fandom:

    The Engineers from Planet 4 as seen in Alien: Covenant, however, appeared more primitive and slightly different in appearance from those the crew of the USCSS Prometheus encountered on LV-223, having eyes more closely resembling those of humans, far more variance in body shape and appear to vary in height as well, compared to the universally tall and muscular Engineers seen in Prometheus, although the clothes they wore bear a striking resemblance to those worn by the sacrificial Engineer from Prometheus. Based on a cut scene from Prometheus, as well as their voices as heard during David’s genocide on Planet 4, their voices appear similarly human-like, although seemingly lower in pitch.

    So let’s say that indeed it is the engineers home world, what’s your guess has for the Covenant and Prometheus engineers not looking the same?
