Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)? - eviltoast

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?

    Evolution? The Engineers in Prometheus were in cryostasis for a long time, whereas the Engineers from Covenant were from around the time of the movie. Even if it wasn’t enough time to evolve naturally, the Engineers are god-like bio-engineers. Who’s to say if they didn’t edit themselves?
