I've heard a lot of people say they like Prometheus if it didn't suddenly connect itself to the Alien franchise, for those who think like this, why? I like that they added further lore

everything with adris alba sucks. not always his fault
The plot works as a book
The Engineers design is Kino
The actual movie itself sucks, acting is bad, and the aging effects are extremely shitty
what aging effects?
>The Engineers design is Kino
People like you are why I've given up on Alien films. You enable Ridley Scott's moronic behavior and bad filmmaking. Hope Romulus and the new show crater and burn killi9ng the IP permanently. that's right, I'd rather see it dead than in the hands of "people" like you.
The Engineer design is objectively kino. It could absolutely work amazing as its own scifi series disconnect from Alien. But you sound just like a seething moron whose opinion is worth little to nothing, so you won't understand anything.
>25 ft tall alien is now 6'8 human
Yeah, I guess it just flew way over my head.
It's Charlize Theron, who cares.
>I've heard a lot of people say they like Prometheus
no you didn't.
>interracial in a sci-fi movie
Hollywood must all burn.
>interracial shower scene in the next flickie
What is Scott's problem? Is he obsessed with BBC?
When they took their helmets off the film was dead to me
I liked the alien connection and how stressful it got when things started going to shit. It's a bit too stupid on many occasions though
I had to cope and start thinking of it as a cautionary tale for explorers of mysterious new places. I bet you could stop a moron about to make an obvious mistake by mentioning this movie
never watch Covenant
>we’re exploring an ancient alien temple, let’s start smoking future weed
They took these scientists and gave them the characters of drunk teens in a friday the 13th movie
I hated this movie. It seemed like the writers and/or producers sat around saying "wouldn't it be cool if" and then threw everything they came up with into the movie with no attempt to build a convincing or cohesive story or narrative.
yeah the middle part of this movie is a fricking disgrace, it plays like a mini series of random events
People's standards are too high. Alien is basically a slasher series. If you go in expecting people to act all moronic and get fricked up in gruesome ways like it's Friday the 13th or Final Destination you realize it's actually great. Covenant was even better in this regard.
There was no further lore. What they did was stupid and trivialized both movies. In Alien, that's THE FIRST ever encounter with an two alien species. NEVER before. An enormous space jockey that has no legs, is melded to its chair, and been dead so long its fossilized. Then the xenomorph eggs. Not any black goo that does random crap. In Prometheus: no actually the alien ship just crashed a few years ago no thousands! And it wasn't an enormous alien, it was a slightly larger human in a suit and he had legs you just didn't see them! And they had seen aliens lots of times before in all these new movies we'll make! YAWN boring.
That destroyed any hope for Prometheus/Covenant being good which it did have an interesting premise. But now it had to shoehorn in connections to alien and contrive ways for it to make sense. Even though it was EXTREMELY obvious Ridley did not want to make an Alien movie so everything was half ass and lackluster then he'll get mad at fans for expecting to see an Alien movie. He wanted to make a 'humans meet their creators who turn out to hate them paralleling a gay android hating its creator' story. That's the story Ridley loves and keeps making.
They fricked up at the start by combining the temple idea and the derelict. When the eggs were in a temple, when the alien was reproducing through a creepy ceremony it made more consistent sense. Not much, but more than having what was in Alien. They shit the bed even harder with the Queen Alien, Aliens as a whole gives you the foundation for the mess it's in now.
They had the answers to the alien lifecycle, dropped them from production and put a piss poor substitute in place.
You could sort of answer it by saying the the derelict ship crew were trying to steal the eggs, their greed and stupidity got the better of them and they became infested through mishandling. It'd then be necessary to put the alien temple etc. back into the story and start fresh from there while kicking Cameron's motherhood wank fantasy to the curb. As long as people cling to "Aliens" though, it's always going to be fricked.
>responding earnestly to a racebait thread
Nice try. They're both African.
lets be honest
og prometheus teaser was pure kino
[Embed]
we all thought alien was back
this is the only movie i've seen in the series
it's interesting to think about like maybe we were created by albino hulks that would be cool
I don't like Elba for some reason
I don't see the acting as weird or cheesy, that's just how autistic humans are in the future
I can understand why people were so annoyed/disappointed with the film, but I on the whole kind of enjoyed it.
That's fine. It should just be treated like the alternate timeline/reboot that it is. It may have actually been salvaged if they had made a good followup sequel with Shaw and David meeting some actual interesting engineers rather then destroying all that to just make a "psycho android uses Aliens to kill humans" story
Worst movie of the 21st century. It insists upon itself more than any other film Ive seen in recent decades.
that heroic suicide was kino
>Charlize Theron
Who cares man, she is great and I would watch any garbage if she was in it
Typical complete hack movie. Perfectly fine first and second act, but the third act nothing gets answered. It's a magic trick without a prestige because Ridley Scott isn't smart enough to come up with a script that actually has answers to the questions it brings up.
it's because he trusted Lindelof who loves his stupid mystery boxes with no answers

>Damon Lindelof Explains How And Why He Reworked The ‘Prometheus’ Script So It Wasn’t A Direct ‘Alien’ Prequel
the problem is the lore is fricking stupid
Further lore is welcome but David did Noomi wrong
>You know what Alien fans REALLY REALLY like? When the movie ends with the main characters happy and safe and heading off to another adventure, then opening the next movie revealing their horrific off-screen death! That's what we should do for out Prometheus sequel! It's perfect!
Wtf is that, whoever draw that has never seen human body dissected
Draw? That's the actual prosthetic they created for Shaw's corpse that David was experimenting on in Covenant
>why spend money, they could just cut the actress
Alien 3 did the same shit and you all called it kino supreme
Are you memeing? That's the joke. Alien 3 is complete and utter shit, a steaming turd thrown into the fan's faces, and it killed the franchise for decades. But they decided to do the exact same thing that upset everyone again and expect it to work amazingly well this time. Unsurprisingly, it did not. Now it's spelled out for you.
I just want to say, for those who played Isolation, in one of the terminal archives one of the Seegson executives explicitly spites anothwr employee by telling them "there will be no bonus for me and no half-shares with you".
Yep, there's tons of things from the original movie in there. They really did a fantastic job on that game
you think she filmed herself fricking and sucking
It isn't perfect but I enjoy it. Fassbender is great, visuals and soundtrack are pretty good.
Trying to retcon Xenomorph origins as a crazy synth experiment was extremely cringe, not to mention how much it fricked up the Xenomorphs' long implied ancient nature. You now have to explain how Alien happened with the fricking modern xenomorph eggs on a derelict Engineer ship.
>Well, we know it’s not a direct prequel to “Alien,” and as Ridley Scott recently explained, it won’t be until the possible third or fourth sequel when everything will connect to his sci-fi classic. It’s a world that wants to stand on its own while also eventually fitting into a larger universe.
According to that earlier article, they were going to tie it directly to Alien in the third or fourth movie kek
Said it earlier. They fricked up by abandoning the idea of the Aliens and their breeding temple. The derelict ship being an interloper that makes the same mistake as the humans makes sense.
Prometheus is disliked for having moronic characters, but it takes place in the future. It's just another Idiocracy going for hyper-realism.
She gets crushed by a giant spaceship at the end so she paid the toll
