>ditch prometheus title
>dont ditch prometheus characters
It was so stupid.
Fassbender is awesome.
Yes but his character is embarrassing.
Evil android geneticist genocide connoisseur is KINO, that we didn't deserve.
There will never be a character as complex and evil as he is.
>engineers used to be the most mysterious thing imaginable
>now we know they're just cavemen that get easily outsmarted
I like the idea far more that these were just another creation of the Engineers. One that was more successful in being peaceful and since they didn't have that drive to kill each other, they were still technologically simple. But they had areas where the Engineers came and visited every so often and it was always a big happening so it was like a celebration until David blasted them. I hope that was what Ridley was going for because having it be the real Engineer's homeworld doesn't make much sense and is really disappointing. They should have floating mega cities, gigantic orbital habitats and ships all over.
That's what I thought when I first saw them. They also have irises with pupils which the Engineer in Prometheus didn't have, but I've heard that Ridley said they were the Engineers and not one of their creations.
Why do you assume that their society homogenous and ALL of them are advanced? We have fricking suburbs where people rest from the urban life, we have religious places where people go to pilgramage, we have places like Tibetan temples where monks live in recluse and learn to recite prayers. If Aliens were to land in Tibet and see our Tibetan monks, are they to assume that all humans are backwards moronic people who don't have technology like electricity and cannot go to space?
Implying Ridley Scott is this nuanced.
I guarantee you that 100% of Engineers are in that one spot and were totally genocided by this one act.
Engineers had special separate planet for their genetical experiments. They didn't experiment on their homeworld with weapons that can destroy the life on the entire planet. So Ridley was nuanced in that.
Having a separate planet for all traditionist Engineers who want to live away from technology is kinda based, and something we ourselves would like to do. Imagine if you could escape this world away from the internet and porn, escape it all and live on the entirely different planet that is basically forest paradise, away from the rest of your species who change their gender, grow additional limbs, create new life forms as pets and make living abominations for their art projects and even develop special pathogens to kill off many their creations that start running amok...wouldn't you want to get away from that shit and live on that separate planet?
The original Prometheus script implies that they are not Engineers, but another creation of the Engineers just as humans were.
The original script got butched by suits though, so the final result is kind of a mess.
Its only a mess if you assume that all engineers should look the same, when its not even for humans.
In the future, there could be two humans who look like person on the left, and the person on the right. If we have your dumb mindset, you would say they are not even the same species, because they look so differently. But they could exist on the same planet, and even somehow have fricking kids.
These guys remind me of prisioners from Alien 3. What if this was like a jail-planet, where all the genetical failures with spare chromosomes were sent off?
its completely vulgar, easy, and unremarkable. why do you think is a good idea?.
no mistery to it, too straightforward, cartoon villain. what is the kino and complexity you see in him?
Have you even watched the movies? How many times?
dude, i legit think that some people like you watch movies stonned or drinking alcohol, throw bottle caps at your screen booing alone in the house, don't remember later about anything in the movie, other than not understanding what was happening, because they were sleeping through the half of it
it doesn't even make sense to discuss movies with the likes of you
thats ok. but can you explain your mindset to me so i can understand you?.
Why did David do this, like seriously?
>He is an android, who has no moral brakes on the ship full of chemical weapons created by the civilisation of Engineers.
>He is on a ship of Engineers and has coordinates of one of the Engineers worlds.
>He studies Engineer language and tried to talk to one of them, but he just tore his head off.
>His master is gone
>He killed his only companion on the ship
>He is bored and malfunctioning
>He doesn't have any goal in life other than feeling of contempt and hatred towards his creators, or the creators of his creators
Wow, him genociding those engineers was so out of the blue!!! I was expecting him like landing his ship and trying to talk to them again, i am sure they won't just tear his head off again, no way! Or maybe he could have returned to human planets and start explaining to them why he is the only android alive, he could re-integrate into human world, i am sure they wouldn't just blame him for everything or tear him apart and reprogramm him. No way!
>follow to make a alien saga
>the villain is a random android
its a bad idea from coast to coast.
See, this isn't interesting. David embarking on a quest to find the creators of the creators etc would be kino. But no, genocidal sperging and spooky alien, yawn.
He will kill the gods and take their place.
I think the script had him do it for Shaw, but she called him crazy so he killed her too. Shame that wasn't in the movie.
pleb
Is Prometheus worth watching?
Only if you like gay porn
Great premise but terribly executed, so no.
Yes even though it's messy.
No but you don't really have anything better to do.
For some reason, beginning in 2012, Ridley just an undeniable urge to bend over, open his red haired butthole and shit all over one of his legacy films.
i turned off my brain for both this and prometheus and genuinely loved both. also never watched the originals so i guess i dont appreciate what was ruined. can someone explain it to me?
spoopy ayys in HD never felt more terrifying and better
Remember how people felt about how Game Of Thrones ended.
the small little backstory about what david did to shaw was the best part of that movie. that and the space AUG.
Should have never been connected to Alien and it probably would have been fine. Just a mission to find ancient creators, they turn out to hate us and wipe out the crew aside from the android and one other, they go to either the creators homeworld or a colony and use the bioweapon on them, and whatever else Ridley had in mind for the trilogy. The Alien aspect brought it down and diminished Alien with needless lore conflicts and stupidity.
What is the worth of such a story? Mankind was created by a mysterious humanoid race....so who created them?
Ridley is fascinated with androids, life, creation, religion. This turns the usual tropes on their head. You have religious people finding out real proof that God didn't create them directly. Then of course everyone would be thinking their creators must love them. But instead find out that they were on the way to kill them and hate humans. And humans creation, the Android, is almost a mockery of life and they treat him so poorly at times that he has decided he doesn't like his creators either. There's some interesting parts just as a different take on the usual and scifi likes to explore different ideas all the time.
I wanted to know more about the engineers and what happened to Shaw but they couldn't be bothered so David just annihilates a bunch of alien farmers.
Ridley lost his damn mind as a result of his brothers suicide.
Why is a relative suicide such a convenient excuse for shitty movies?
Maybe they were really close and the grief weighed heavily on his mind, clouding it resulting in said shitty movies.
Xeno blood is depicted as being able to melt through ship decks (presumably some alloy of steel) effortlessly, but only for a short time. No chemical known can melt steel that fast, so unless the deck was made of a gallium alloy we’re dealing with something new. Fortunately, by analyzing the interior of the Xenomorph’s veins we will find something which can contain this new acid.
i dont know what this dudes deal is with androids. i knew the moment i first saw david that he was going to be yet another traitor.
>zoomers loved both the prequels
get over it boomers. no, one cares for your outdated classic alien movies. Read Shelley already.
The opening scene of Covenant is by itself better than Aliens, Alien3 and Resurrection.
>Aliens
pump your brakes kid that film is a national treasure... incels don't appreciate the mother stuff
would've loved to see that Xenomorph vs Neomorph fight that they had to drop because the spikes on the back of the Neo-suit kept interfering with the Head movement to much.
Fassbender is literally the only good thing about this pile of shit. The gore was really good too I guess.
I liked it
It wasn't that bad. I unironically wish Ridley got to make a sequel to it, it would've been about David vs. Engineers that survived the genocide. The Engineers in Covenant were really lame though.
Kino
I tired of pretending this and prometheus weren't good. Incredible atmosphere in both movies
But both films amount to nothing more than monster flicks, literally Creature From The Black lagoon tier narratives.
twitter meme, the fact that i know this makes me depressed
Context?
This is the best Alien movie, so much better than those condom-glue-and-a-Black person-inside ragdoll old "kinos". Daft shiteaters argue about who was better, like, Finch or whatever - the truth is simple: without proper CGI anything not human looks funny and half-assed, Teletubbies style. Only today it is possible to make any creature look realistic = truly horrifying and awesome looking. Alien: Isolation is just proving my words - the videogame turned out to be a 100% better experience than any Alien movies at all.
the third planned movie is cancelled for ever they told ridtard as much
I really hope they finish the story as he intented even if its a book or a comic. iT needs a third chapter
The new Alien TV series is going to suck so bad. One of the twist in it is similar to the twist from Blade Runner 2049. Remember those replicant freedom movement who believed in the chosen one? So this new Alien TV series is all about trannies from android liberation movement who plot against the big bad corporation and believe in some satanic scientology plot about the coming of the Sacred Chosen Android Hermaphrodite, who is going to fullfill the prophecy. And aliens for them are just like wolves, that you unleash from the cage to distract attention and cause havok.
Feels great being a Predatorchad.
Saw AvP: R today with brightness turned almost all the way up. Still couldn't see shit.
That scene will forever haunt me and give me a weird boner.
It's a fun movie. Covenant & Prometheus would both be solid 8/10s, if the crews didn't make such dumb decisions.
dumb characters =/= bad movie
a lot of horror movies have dumb characters, but they still being considered classic and good movies. No one is saying "Oh, this old horror movie is bad because characters there acted dumb and got killed by a monster/murderer!" but for some reason Prometheus/Covenant are treated differently.
>but for some reason Prometheus/Covenant are treated differently.
I think they're under-rated. Had a young director created Prometheus, the movie would have been praised and the director handed a big franchise to helm. Because it's Ridley who did Alien, Bladerunner & Gladiator, people like to shit on him.
Nah, this is brought up all the time and is a legit criticism. Alien had smart and competent people who were exposed to an extremely unusual situation and had to make the best decisions they could with the information at hand and things kept going wrong since due to everything the didn't know. Prometheus had genuinely idiotic characters that can't be excused. It has two characters who are loud mouthed and in everyone's faces about how smart they are, how much better they are and how they're here for money or whatever, then literally both of them fail at the specific job they are supposedly experts at and were hired by a gajillionaire to make this extremly important, once in a lifetime, mission a success. The fricking map maker guy gets lost as he's cowardly running away, and the biologist decides to pet a creature giving a threat display. All after they were so fricking scared that they abandoned everyone and they decided to smoke weed while still in the spooky alien ship. These movies aren't meant to be on par with the bottom barrel halloween slasher flicks portraying high school teens.
I don't remember much about the original Alien but I do remember that the characters of Alien were workers on a cargo plane or something like that. Prometheus had scientists (of many kinds especially biology) and they were infinitely dumber than the space truckers of Alien.
Alien, Prometheus and Covenant are the best films in the franchise.
Last scene was genuinely unnerving. Not a bad film.
Holy shit, did anyone see this? Where's it from?
Jesus that's fricked up
They created a lot of props for the movie but not a lot of it got into the movie. And they had to destroy the props after the movie
>they had to destroy the props after the movie
Why?
>but not a lot of it got into the movie.
Source and why?
