The Prometheus engineers were not Space Jockeys. The Space Jockeys were a different, older race. The engineers came later and appropriated the space jockey black goo biotechnology.
A specialized creature called the Butt Hugger scuttles up to their dedicated fecal extraction orifice. It attaches itself, inserts its penis shaped appendage, and begins sucking out the fecal matter. After it is finished extraction and has ballooned in size, it waddles away to begin the next phase in its lifecycle.
Yes but In universe it wasn’t kids walking up to him it was adults moron. Do you go to lord of the ring lore threads and go “actually minas tirith wasn’t that big, it was a miniuature made to look big by camera tricks”
The space jockey was not wearing any type of suit, it was clearly a skeleton. Like, they literally say so in that scene. And they freaking show the ribcage that was destroyed by a chestburster. Did Ridley even rewatch Alien before making Prometheus?
I rewatched it this past weekend. It's pretty bad. And I'm saying that after watching it alongside of Prometheus, which I actually thought was better than I recall.
It's the opposite. His trilogy started lame but had potential until Covenant. Then there really is no hope for the third. No one wants to see a colony of the new rebooted aliens all led by Kind David. People wanted to see the story of the Engineers and unraveling the mystery around them.
Being 5'9 is a curse. I blame my dad for marrying a 5 foot wife so now I have to be a manlet. When I have children I hope to God they get the tall gene from his side.

He was justified in ripping David's head off and trying to kill them all.
I really think you have to be sub 80 iq to post something like this. You literally can’t imagine an abstract concept such as a fictional universe having its own reality, rules, and concepts.
i'm pretty sure he can imagine it, the issue seems to be that you can't imagine a movie having surreal imagery meant to be viewed as imagery and not the front-end of some autismal videogame "universe" with "rules" where you can always buy a tie-in comic book to find out where boba fett got his helmet
They didn't put all this thought into it, Giger said this looks cool and put it in the film, they didn't spend 10 hours thinking of a back story for it because they were smart enough (unlike you) to know that not explaining stuff and keeping things a mystery is better

This is the real life explanation :), once again, you’re too stupid and can’t understand abstract thinking or concepts
>uuuuuuh what is the penis monster's tax policy???? plothole much???? i am very intelligent!!!!
How would you feel if you didn’t eat breakfast today? >WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BUT I DIDNT EAT BREAKFAST THIS MORNING FRICKING DIE CRACKERRRRR?!?!?!
Engineers are a mysterious face who do mysterious things with mysterious 'goo' for mysterious reasons. And it you ask them why they sperge out and rip your head off, because Prometheus is terrible.
Literally all they did was tell HR Giger to make some spooky looking setpieces and 40 years later, terminal autists are still trying to figure out non existing lore
why? i dont get what is wrong with Prometheus. It pretty explicitly sets out a lore where engineers came to earth, made us, and were about to wipe us out.
The Prometheus engineers were not Space Jockeys. The Space Jockeys were a different, older race. The engineers came later and appropriated the space jockey black goo biotechnology.
What if the prometheans are just a sub race?
we wuz jockeys and shit
Yeah sure why not.
The Engineers are bioengineers, there's plenty of ways to explain without having to explain anything
and especially how they grew legs
How do they poop?

I 100% guarantee somewhere there is a Giger drawing of something like this
>elefant face was a costume
>big elefant face is costume inside a costume
> big elefant face is costume inside a costume
What are you even talking about
Space Jockey isn't actually that big, its torso just looks proportionately bigger because of how the chestburster pushed its ribcage open
They actually used kids in spacesuits to give it the appearance of being larger, but the close up shots showed a size similar to the Engineers.
Got distracted, here is the reference from Prometheus for the size comparison.
Based
Yes but In universe it wasn’t kids walking up to him it was adults moron. Do you go to lord of the ring lore threads and go “actually minas tirith wasn’t that big, it was a miniuature made to look big by camera tricks”
"in universe" there are two different scales shown like he said, moron. You're just picking the one that facilitates your b***hing.
>Do you go to lord of the ring lore threads and go “actually minas tirith wasn’t that big, it was a miniuature made to look big by camera tricks”
I will now
When will we get the real space jockey?

He didn't need to rewatch it, he made the damn movie in the first place!
Another case of proof that a movie isn't the solely creation of one person but the collective effort of a team
>space JOCKEY
>spaceship is DISC shaped
bravo ridley
I don’t get it
Not sure, but in Spanish we pronounce the J like your H, so maybe he's confusing "jockey" with "hockey".
don't you know what DJ means? fricking zoomers
lmao
He was supposed to but Covenant flopped and now he may never be able to.
That's too bad. Maybe he shouldn't have made Covenant such a dumpster fire of a movie.
Maybe you shouldn't have gotten filtered.
You can't get "filtered" by shit movies, silly.
Covenant isn't shit, rewatch it.
I think you got filtered by intelligence
>Covenant isn't shit, rewatch it.
Covenant is 100% another steaming pile of shit, just like Prometheus.
I rewatched it this past weekend. It's pretty bad. And I'm saying that after watching it alongside of Prometheus, which I actually thought was better than I recall.
Covenant wasn't so bad. Now Prometheus...
It's the opposite. His trilogy started lame but had potential until Covenant. Then there really is no hope for the third. No one wants to see a colony of the new rebooted aliens all led by Kind David. People wanted to see the story of the Engineers and unraveling the mystery around them.
We're all the same species. The gravity of each home planet dictates how large specimens can grow.
>gravity of each home planet dictates how large specimens can grow.
Oxygen content too, which is why shit was fricking ginormous back in the day.
5'9
5'11
6'0

>when I have children
You won't because you are a manlet and will die alone
Everyone dies alone but I will sow my seed far and wide before that day comes

I can deal with being called a manlet but accusing me of being a gibberish talking Black person really rustles my jimmies
he speaks in deleted scene and it makes it more interesting. especially when you read the translation that only David understands
A retcon made up thirty years later.
>we wuz space jockeys n shit
prometheus is actually a reboot, not a prequel
and a really bad one at that. Ridley misunderstood what people liked about Alien. It still could have worked if he'd not messed up Covenant.
true
>When I have issues with Space Jockey historians, I ask: ‘Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the frick up then.’”
The space jockey was effectively fused to the chair, may have been a genetically-modified permanent ship pilot, basically a cyborg.
The Space Jockey was a prop made from an HR Geiger concept, it makes no sense and wasn't meant to. Taking it seriously is like taking Freud seriously.

You literally just aren’t capable of abstract thinking. A sad mixture of low IQ and being brain broken my 4cuck.
>uuuuuuh what is the penis monster's tax policy???? plothole much???? i am very intelligent!!!!
>plot holes aren’t real and don’t exist because it’s fiction anyway and not real life
You actually are a low IQ mongrel from South America.

>WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BUT I DIDNT EAT BREAKFAST THIS MORNING FRICKING DIE CRACKERRRRR?!?!?!
Yes, it was a prop that was in the damn movie.
Doesn't have to be a cyborg.
I've headcanoned this game into the alien universe
Based, I wish it'd get a movie adaptation but it's too weird.
>were you there? no? frick off i don’t have to explain shit. suckle my glistening butthole
Space Jockey lore was a mistake
What is a Space Jockey? And who are the engineers? I watched the movies and I still don't know it
Engineers are a mysterious face who do mysterious things with mysterious 'goo' for mysterious reasons. And it you ask them why they sperge out and rip your head off, because Prometheus is terrible.
>LV-0 Human
>LV-100 BOSS ENGINEER
Really Ridley?
i'm an LV-426 engineer, come at me hoss
>you would be wise to join my hive
Literally all they did was tell HR Giger to make some spooky looking setpieces and 40 years later, terminal autists are still trying to figure out non existing lore
Why did ridley steal the baby Metroid
Did Mother Brain tell him to?
>Will be ever explain why a race that does genetical modification modified genetics?
I dunno mate
Post lewd femgineers
Prometheus isn't canon
It's a senile dementia creation
The alien comics are canon and have the space jockey as an elephant alien humanoid with giant Lazer guns
why? i dont get what is wrong with Prometheus. It pretty explicitly sets out a lore where engineers came to earth, made us, and were about to wipe us out.
why did everyone hate Prometheus? I loved it.
>scientists acted dumb
Ok.
very cringe, anon. sigourney is much more attractive
add some hair
maybe he was just a big guy
Why do they tuck their elephant nose into their chest skin? Clearly this was meant to be a suit and Ridley was right and you chuds are seething
You have to use your suspension of disbelief you stupid Black person with an imagination.
Or, you can cry more and drink your basedmilk.
No, he's become a wet brained creatively burnt out hack
Aliens Dark Descent ignored Prometheus and had proper space jockey corpses and a space jockey alien
is the game actually good though
Its not without flaws but its pretty good, if you're a fan of Alien/Aliens it's definitely worth playing
I am indeed an ayylmao fan may have to grab it while on sale ty anon
I can explain it. Prometheus a shit.
Even us humans used to be able to grow 10 feet tall and live 200 years.
With Prometheus Covenant, he set it up that there are different Engineers. subspecies or whatever, however you want to call them. so there you go
