>AAAAAHHHH THIS CAVE IS TOO FUCKING SCARY>AHHHHHHHH IS THAT A DEAD BODY AAAAAAHHH>A LIFELESS STATUE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH>Oh an alien snake making a cobra-like threat display? Heheheh tickle tickle, cmere little girl :DDD it's okay haha
>>214527906Did Ridley fuck this up on purpose because the studio worst him to shoehorn in the Alien franchise stuff?
>>214527983he just wanted to make an ancient aliens movie, the studio couldn't hear anything other than Alien Prequel, and the movie definitely reflects a constant fight on all levels, and then lindelof gets thrown in and the shitpile ignites
The only reasonable explanation for Prometheus is similar to the Community season 4 "gas leak": David was fucking with people's oxygen levels to make them stupid.
>>214527906isn't the theory that besides keeping it a secret, the only people who were willing to sign on to a decades long hypersleep mission were bottom of the barrel morons?
>>214530750That makes no sense since Weyland is in charge of one of the most powerful corpos on Earth and this is his all or nothing mission to prolong life.That means there exists a whole class of W-Y lifers that live and breather corpo life and are zealots through and through. It makes zero sense to staff the mission with some random amateurs like he shanghai'd them on the spot 5 minutes before takeoff. Bear in mind also that literally NONE of these "experts" amounted to anything other than fodder. None of them contributed even slightly to the mission.
>>214527906Don't understand why they decided to make these characters so retarded in the first place. Would've been much creepier if the cobra had emerged, the dudes back off and the monster starts chasing and killing them one by one.
>>214530913I'm glad your not a writer
>>214527906i just rewatched prometheus. it was honestly pretty good, better than i remembered.
>>214527906i just rewatched prometheus. it was honestly so, so much worse than i remembered.
>>214530811I don't like that theory either, the only supporting evidence if you were to connect the dots is vickers doesn't believe in the mission, she says as much when shaw and holloway are having a drink with her and she also mentions hiring some crew personally during the mission intro to the general crew. She basically wants to go back home and wait for wayland to die so she can run things. It's still a big stretch. I really wish we had gotten the more action packed aliens style script called engineers that was put online from Jon Spaihts. Had way more gruesome stuff, unique aliens, the only aspect of the movie I liked better was the ending of shaw and david leaving in the engineer ship.
I legit believe they would have died, regardless of the alien ever showing up. They are retards.
>>214527983Based on that TV show with the androids (before Alien Earth), Ridley's just fucking retarded.
>>214527906just think of that dude as a retarded s o y jak and the movie instantly becomes better.
>>214527906Only Alien (1979) and Alien Isolation (2014) -without Queen- are canon.
>>214527906>your cartographer gets lostKek
>>214527983>>214528468>this bullshit againPrometheus was always an Alien prequel.
>>214527906yeah the movie is retarded, only retards defend it
>>214527906he met the worms earlier and they were nice. So they should still be nice
Tom Hardy lite being rude to David made no sense. He should have had a healthy appreciation for the technology, as a scientist, but even if he didn't, acting surly just made no sense beyond being a shitty plot device.
>>214534044midwit alert
>>214534044That guy made zero sense whatsoever. Just another example of the biggest problem: none of the characters were people. They were stereotypes and tropes. That guy is was just hell bent on the idea he was flying to meet literal God and Angels in Heaven. Because he's meeting God and has a soul, then robots are inferior trash and servants to be sneered at. Because he doesn't actually meet God on the planet, but instead boring ancient aliens that aren't immortal but did create humanity, then he should cry and be suicidally depressed.
>>214532217I just re-read your post. You are honestly pretty tasteless and retarded.
>>214534008That's a deleted scene though. I agree it should have been left in but it isn't part of the movie.
>>214527906I like how blatantly easy it would be to write the same scene significantly less stupidly by just having him more cautious but trying to observe it from a reasonable distance, but it lunges and attacks unexpectedly quickly, or he takes his eyes off it for a second to grab something and it attacks. Instead of him going goochie goochie goo and trying to pet this hissing alien snake thing like a retard.
>>214534570There was no purpose to it. Just to show that the black goo can transform a peaceful worm into a le super strong aggressive murder snake? wowie! Sure couldn't have figured that out any other way! Those retards didn't need to get separated and spend half the movie wandering around. He wasn't funny. He was an annoying as fuck character. It killed him and the audience clapped. Thankfully he was never seen again. Unlike when Fifield returned and everyone groaned.
