Prometheus' connection toAlienwas a matter of intense debate from the outset.
However, producers should have recognized from an earlier horror prequel that this approach was always problematic.
This is exactly the mistake made in 2006’sThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.
This was the source of the terror.
In many ways,PrometheusandTCM:TBare very different films.
The consequence is thatboth movies hurt rather than enhance their respective franchises.
One of the filmmakers who fell under its spell was Ridley Scott.
Where onceThe Texas Chain Saw Massacrehad provided positive inspiration forAlien, here it had the opposite effect.
What should have been a warning was instead ignored, yielding a disappointing outcome for both franchises.
