Alien Covenant / Prometheus / Aliens / AvP / Discussion Thread

And now that scene with where weyland gets bitch slapped makes sense, thanks bruv!

lol well not really, the question why does he flip out still remains. With the current cut Weyland asked for immortality, the Engineer takes one look at David realizing he isn’t human he tries to kill them all. The director’s cut probably wont come with subtitles for this scene, but it will be still be interesting to see the Engineer engage David in conversation.

I watched the original about 10 years ago so I’m not sure what the differences are either.

expect at least a trilogy of all this mess, so most of questions wont be answered next movie, milking time.

Have faith in Ridley. It’s doubtful Lindeloof will be writing again, I really hope Ridley can someone like Nolan, that would be my dream team.

Ridley Scott: *“For all intents and purposes this is very loosely a prequel, very, and then you say ‘But how did that ship evolve in the first Alien?’ Then I would say ‘Actually he’s one of the group that had gone off and his cargo had gotten out of control,’ because he was heading somewhere else and it got out of control and actually he had died in the process and that would be the story there. That ship happened to be a brother to the ship that you see that comes out of the ground at the end. They are roughly of the same period give or take a couple hundred years, right? Other than that, there’s no real link except it explains, I think, who may have had these capabilities, which are dreadful weapons way beyond anything we could possibly conceive, bacteriological drums of shit that you can drop on a planet…” *Source: Collider

I was thinking the other day about the biblical route Ridley had considered taking, and how it would alter certain events in the bible.

For example Adam and Eve, did one Engineer sacrifice itself to create Adam, then another sacrificed itself to create Eve. What could be the forbidden tree?
Noah and the Ark, would suggest the Engineers had once cleansed the Earth but allowed some to live, another interesting one would be the story of David and Goliath, since we already have a pivitol character called David.

also hi mom

No idea what this is, but I’m assuming the geologist and charles were going to turn into this

Engineer home world??

dont know why people thought the space Cobra didnt implant anything inside the biologist.

It looked like it had eaten him from the inside out.

Someone posted this on Maddox’s FB page:

To those of you who saw the movie and were dissapointed, a question:

Much like the way the ads & trailers hyped this movie up, in a way with Prometheus’s unanswered questions & set-up for a sequel, the movie itself was its own hype for part 2.

So lets say the sequel truly delivered on all questions & other elements this movie lacked, tying it all together. Would you then have a better appreciation for Prometheus 1?

If you brush up on the annunaki/summerian lore you get the idea bruv. its really, REALLY out there, but if you have a curious and open mind its somewhat entertaining. A warning: dont fall into the rabbit hole thought, its a deep one.

Because it didn’t? It went inside him and then jumped out his skull? Where’s the confusion?

when the cobra inserts it-self into the biologist’s mouth the scene ends. I dont recall seeing what happened to the biologist after that.

Yeah there’s no real reason to think anything was implanted. They find the biologist dead, a worm jumps from his skull, he isn’t a part of the movie anymore after that.

The thing is that Prometheus and the new Trilogy (?) is not a guarantee there’s going to be followups that answer everything and deliver the goods. The majority of people who went to see Lord of the Rings fully knew there’s going to be two two more movies that they are in the process of filming. There’s yet to be any announcement regarding a sequel.

So to create a film and leave it open ended specifically to create sequels that may or may not happen is a dick move. Especially when all of the important questions we the viewer wanted answered or **something **alluding to closure of some kind of level is deliberately avoided either out to fulfill sequel bait or terrible writing.

Also, the amount of plot holes and lack of common sense is pretty significant. The only thing I can think of in the original Alien movies (aside form Resurrection which I don’t personally consider cannon) that approaches that level of stupidity is in the original where the crew are trying to capture the Chestburster and Bret wanders off a few feet away from the group to get the cat and winds up getting killed.

They want to make sequels, it just hasn’t been 100% confirmed.

yes I remember now, i was too focused on charlie being poisoned i forgot about that.

The facehugger usually dies after inserting the embryo, so the fact that it was still alive after jumping out of the biologists head most likely means that it didnt implant anything… but, the space cobra isnt a face hugger, maybe it did leave something in there that needed time to grow… who knows.
