I think you are touching on the tension that exists between studio involvement and filmmakers, especially when the latter doesn’t have the pull to do whet they want or the project is somewhat under the radar and studio is giving more leash. Prey was great last year in large part because the director had a long leash to do what he wanted.
No one of us was there, we have no idea about the details and specifics of the project, so we can only guess how things went and who is “guilty” here.
What we know for sure is that we were given Alien:Covenant, possibly the worst part of the franchise, with practically no redeeming value, a movie that contradicted the lore of the universe and its own. And that it was directed by Scott.
