That's complete bullshit. I study film, and even with trailers and marketing, it's a visual communication to the audience.

Even my screenwriting professor acknowledged that it was marketed as an explanation.

Prequels are supposed to serve a purpose, just like sequels. We all knew this would be set in the Alien universe. There is no point in setting a movie in a pre-established universe only to not utilize those connections. And that's why this movie failed, it's pointless. It's entire reason for being isn't valid.

Watch the trailer again.

The Space Jockey money shot and the music from the original Alien trailer. And David at the end stating "big things have small beginnings".

No promises my ass.
