They weren't happy with humans and planned to wipe us out long before we gained the ability to space travel.
>experiment
>experiment is shit
>destroy experiment
>start again
They planned to destroy humanity after humans killed Jesus. Yes, this is canon.
It's as canon as space jockey. If it's not on screen yet, it isn't canon.
It's canon
How many hundred years in the future is this? That's a fair bit of take.
it's not even in the 22nd century, bud.
>create life trying to find the meaning
>creation actually manages to summon the offspring of the living God
>tribe of long noses murder the offspring
Yeah I don't blame them for wanting to murder us.
couldn’t they just stop at israelites? and isnt that a little anti-semitic?
Probably weren't aware it was happening, or couldn't get there in time to intervene.
>offspring of the living God
there are people on this planet that unironically believe this lmao
>the offspring of the living God
all of us are. jesus is just an example of a way to live life as a good son. its literally in the bible lmfao no one actually reads it so theyre stupid.
actually manages to summon the offspring of the living God
That's not the case in the Alien universe. Jesus, much like in Christian theology, was a product of our creators (the engineers) who sent him to redeem humanity by showing us the right path.
They took a person from Earth and taught him on their world, then sent him back. The whole thing is moronic because Engineers are just as much violent shitheads as humans. They're just idiotic hypocrites blatantly displaying messages of "do as I say not as I do.
jews ruin everything like normal
...and then forgot about us for 2000 years?
nah they got btfo by the black goo before they could carry out the mission. that's why they trip over dead space jockeys on their way to the cargo hold
the ship sent to wipe out earth had an accident when its bioweapon escaped containment, killed most of the crew and caused the ship to crash. Their race lives for hundreds of thousands of years, and presumably they had thousands of years worth of missions to do before reporting back, so nobody noticed they were gone.
Its such a moronic and convoluted plot, because some dumb boomer just wanted to do ancient aliens based on 1970s neo-spiritualism but the suits said: "no, it's the alien's franchise lmao"
Why did the Engineers on Earth that educated the early humans point out the consolation of plants that this other ship happened to crash into full of bioweapons? This plot makes no sense. Even if the story is that the ship was taking off from that planet and failed, why the frick would they give humans a consolation map of where they stored bioweapons?
it wasn't sent to wipe out earth at all. earth was populated to be a host planet for xenomorphs, which is what the engineers worshipped.
they sent the ship to make use of the crop they'd prepared for the facehuggers.
pretty shit plan really; they waited too long so earth could have just nuked the area where the first outbreak was and it's game over man for the virgin xenos.
also, sending one ship is incredibly unintelligent.
given how the albino giants behave, maybe they were just jannies for a real inventor race, and could only follow specific tasks that were assigned to them.
where did you get that from?
Headcanon
Mass Effect.
The point is
They are based
So is this a young earth creationist movie? The Earth's first dominant forms of life, after sea creatures, were reptilian dinosaurs. Odds favored them becoming the dominant form of intelligent life until a fluke mass extinction event finally cucked them into becoming birds and only then did the mammalian line emerge, and humans as a late coming bipedal offshoot of that.
If anything, a scifi setting should have all the intelligent alien life as descendants from therapods who then see that a primate offshoot has become dominant, realize their experiment has gone horrific all wrong and a lineage that should have been pets have ascended.
The scifi trope of the human being somehow inevitable as the ruling life or our form being like the absolute optimal form bothers be greatly.
Pretty sure it's gnostic. Humans have a creator, but rather than being benevolent, the dudes a violent butthole like the demiurge
You know
It's a fricking being CREATING ALL INTELLIGENT LIFE
It should be a rad mythos from a god-like perspective
How the frick do they managed to make the creation of humanity something bland and uninteresting
>How the frick do they managed to make the creation of humanity something bland and uninteresting
That's Ridley's whole point. A created being expects their creators to be the shit. But humanity (just like David towards his human creators) finds out that you were just created as a fluke or for some arbitrary purpose.
It's worse than bland and uninteresting, it's dumb and annoying.
it was going to be made canon that the predators where a species created by these space Chad's, and the predators turned on them prompting a war where most of the engineers voluntarily disarmed to not be prey so not only was the black goo a weapon against us, it was either to be used, or was used, against the predators as well. and in infesting earth there was a good chance it could infect the hunters landing there.
if everyone didn't b***h so hard about prometheus we could of had some serious engineer/predator kino
>it was going to be made canon that the predators where a species created by these space Chad's
No, it wasn't.
What about the baby Aliens that killed the space chads in the movie?
Hurr durr frick this gay ass movie
I liked it, had its shortcomings but it was good.
dwarf prostitute
Dwarf prostitute = sexo
She so cute bros
She's so smoll but firm and athletic and giggity...
mournful breasts
don't look up under any circumstance
I should have taken your word for it... Wtfff... How can this be?
I love Shaw
Legitimately the only case I have ever seen of a woman who needs bolt-ons.
Covenant: better movie and better waifu.
Effectively the case, all the women in covenant were better.
I love both Shaw and Daniels and would greatly enjoy a threesome with both.
Shaw can keep her bandage bra on, kek. I'll take her anyway.
Short hair tomboys are my kryptonite but Daniels was bland as hell and boring. She deserved her fate of being impregnated over and over by David to start an alien hive
>She deserved her fate of being impregnated over and over by David to start an alien hive
uhhh... based
Why can't Ridley just commit to making tough girl kino like Jim has?
That is a legitimate question. We need tough girls that are hard on the surface with a soft underbelly. I am convinced that Bill Paxton's character is the father of pic-related's baby in Predator 2.
oh most definitely
He died to save her too, it adds up.
It was the worst movie I've ever seen, worse than $5,000 Roger Corman indie flicks whose low quality could at least be explained away by the budget. This was just money being set on fire
No, The Predator 2018 is in that category, watching it now as part of my AVPVE binge, wow this comically bad, fricking kek.
The Predator is certainly a contender for WOAT
Wtf happened to Shane Black, I mean damn. This is just utter dogshit...
it really was without worth
the design for the engineer was alright, but then they were turned into gorillas.
characters all forgettable, plot nonsensical.
>Be supreme interstellar race of porcelain gods
>Your descendants are b***hy multicolored manlets.
It was justified
makes sense.
you've just redeemed the film
I mean he stopped and looked at them, there's the deleted scene of him talking to them, he just took the only logical course of action after seeing the end product right in front of him. Then they went and made a b***hy little manlet droid copy of themselves as well...
>the deleted scene of him talking to them
do you remember what the Eng says? i forgot
>takes 3 minutes and gets tired cuz language is so COMPLEX
lol glad this was cut
It's an ancient Indo-European style language. Very based.
yeah this would be pretty awkward in the film, but given the other strange things in it, might as well have left it in
>God
>Shitty Teeth
God is British?
>Shitty Teeth
Can't see any teeth at all in that gif. What the frick are you seeing, moron?
It would be really interesting in the universe if the predators, the humans, the na'vi or however you spell it, were all different manifestations of engineer seeding.
>your post
it wasnt even interesting when it was just humans
>has never heard of the panspermia theory
Lel, pleb
He's posting memes from an iPhone. He's a moronic homosexual b***h.
Nothing. It is mystery box shit that doesn't mean anything. The writers are dumb.
I always thought the first guy was a rogue of some sorts, the Prometheus lol who gave fire to Earth. I mean, it would explain the other guy being all disgusted by humanity and wanting to stomp us out like roaches.
Higher brings are, like, unknowable, maaaan.
why would the engineers show ancient people the constellation for the system where they store their bio weapons or whatever?
failsafe to kill any super intelligent beings that could rival them
the movie beats you over the head several times about why they turned on humans, davids dialogue with discount tom hardy spells the entire plot out within the first 45 or so minutes of the film
It's a metaphor for Christian theology but Ridley was afraid that it would be boycotted by christcucks. the original script would've only mentioned this story but the timeframe roughly lines up with the Bible.
>at some point during the Roman Empire, an envoy of Engineers arrive with a message about how to overcome what we call "sin" and become ubermensch like them who dedicate their lives to sciences instead of material gain or hubris
>mankind is too self centered (ethoreligion) and greedy (seeing them as a challenge of the authority of Roman God Emperors)
>they kill the engineer(s) and persecute their followers
>thousands of years pass and the story is muddled with Christ either being rewritten as a God-human or son of engineers, or representation of engineer teachings
That's why the cargo hold they find is full of bio weapons. They planned to nuke the whole planet because they were afraid of humans, who were advancing toward their level of tech but still extremely flawed beings. This is a direct reference to shit like the tower of Babel, which God struck down. The engineers lost control of their bioweapons however, and the space jockey went into hibernation as the ship sank all around him.
He wakes up, sees that his intelligent (David), hubristic (Weiland), and greedy (goons hired by Weiland) experiment has reached tech levels sufficient enough to find him, and he freaks the frick out.
The alien comics were better
The space jockey was just a big elephant alien
Prometheus isn't canon, it's the result of a senile old man with no one to tell him his project sucks
Tell me this. Did Weiland's daughter have some sexual attraction to Weiland?
She did, but Idris Elba's black dick cured her of that
Welp, just finished The Predator for first time since the first time I saw it. Did Shane Black spend the last 30+ years smoking crack non-stop? I mean, just frick. I didn't even remember it being this bad... This feels like post nut clarity after the most shameful fap of your life.
Well, to continue with my AVPVE bing, after watching that utter fricking hurricane of semen-infused shit known as The Predator, I am going with Predator 2. The first act is absolute kino, I must say.
vial of life juice
it also makes xenomorphs for some reason
Obviously not the same substance.
I think the idea was that they were using blood/dna of the deacon to create life. If they prepared it correctly, it'd result in normal life like on Earth. Prepared incorrectly/differently, it would create hostile creatures like the xenomorphs.
sucks that they didn't end up following through with this or any of the dozen other loose ends from prometheus.
Definitely. Prometheus had potential to be something great but really dropped the ball
He should have been happy to be faceraped. He was creating new life.
>Would I, Quintas?
>Would you?
>Thinks the movie’s title of ‘Prometheus’ is just because that’s what the ship is called
