Oh now I'm remembering that Strange New Worlds straight up rips off Alien: Covenant and it's not even subtle, they are literally doing Aliens in Star Trek.

You can say "The engineers were enormous fuckups who didn't understand anything they were doing" and that's entirely consistent with both films.

That feels right. The parts in the script were all famously gender neutral. I don’t know what reason someone would have had to add that detail to her backstory in Alien since it never comes up in the movie.

Men, famously not able to have daughters?

e: but yeah, Alien is not about Family so it's just an irrelevant detail that has no reason to come up.

That sounds to me like "I don't want to get in a scrapfight with the fandom about canon, it's a film about people on a space station getting attacked by an alien and nobody is going to stop to drop any one liners about the fate of the Covenant"
