>inb4 what the fuck was his problem?
What's up with the suit? Do you think they're going to bring back the engineers for Alium Covenant?

Alien is the only good film in the franchise

Okay

No one? Seriously?

Covenant looks like a slasher movie, complete with the camp counselor shower sex orgy interrupted by the big bad.

It looks like a knee jerk reaction to Prometheus: "What? People didn't like it because no xenomorph? Give them xenomorph!" But all the shitty writing and retarded nonsensical characters still carried over.

The movie would've been far better had they just sent David alone.

Explain

You talk like a fag and your shits all retarded

>Do you think they're going to bring back the engineers for Alium Covenant?

yes but only a small amount since so many fags got upset over prometheus not being another alien movie

What is this based off of?

Suit was okay, still looked kind of fleshy and stupid like the ADI Aliens and less biomechanical than it should've.

Movie blew a planet-sized mountain of ass, though.

noomi only did a week of filming

Who?

Oh, Shaw... okay

daily reminder original script was goat but this bald faggot change it to shit trying to be deep and edggy faggot

sauce?

Sauce = reality.

Look up the Jon Spaihts script for Alien: Engineers since you need to be spoonfed obvious facts, fagotron. It was excellent and not even close to as fucking stupid as Prometheus ended up being.

>Planet was LV-426.
>Planet was covered in like 30 pyramids that were terraforming.
>No faggot bad-makeup Weyland wanting eternal life
>Instead Vickers snuck some badass mercenaries aboard to secure the terraforming technology
>Facehuggers, different types of Aliens
>Deacon was creepier, ran amok on Prometheus ship gutting people like original Alien movie
>Other Aliens in movie, much more action and combat
>Better rationale for Engineers to do what they did
>David was far more sinister and ended up going full evil-android and pursuing his own agenda after he learns how to unplug himself from his restrictive programming
>Shaw not a complete religious moron
>Holloway was an older archaeologist badass

Movie would've been so much better, and still allowed for sequels exploring the Engineers and Deacon and other weird shit while still being a true prequel to Alien.

They fucked it up bad.

Sounds decent

yea also for those who dont remember LV-426 is the “planetoid” that the Nostromo encounters at the beginning of the original Alien, as well as its setting for the sequel Aliens.
in the original script, Weyland needs the crew to be in the dark on what they’re doing because he’s trying to keep ahead of all the other businesses in the world. He needs alien technology to help Terraform Mars. That’s the whole point of the endeavor, and it explains perfectly why everything is kept under wraps and why the crew is grumpy about what they’re up to.
And the ship’s not called Prometheus, it’s called The Magellan. Because Prometheus is a stupid name for a ship that made no sense in the movie we saw—but, somewhat ironically, would have made perfect sense in this film.

In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the Gods. Fire, as you might know, makes uninhabitable places habitable for people by providing warmth and light. Terraforming technology is actually a pretty good contemporary metaphor for Prometheus’s quest for light, so naming the ship Prometheus actually would have made sense in the originally scripted version of the film. But it makes no sense as the name for a ship on a quest for immortality, which is what the ship in the version we saw is doing.

Good point. Fuck. God the eternal life shit is so fucking stupid.

Even if Prometheus was a metaphor for the crazy alien technology and fusing man with machine, it would've explained the myth and metaphor far better and made some interesting parallels with life and mechanical sentience i.e. David.

David was full evil in the original and held down shaw for the alien octopus thing to "impregnate" her

is the original script available anywhere

But user

fire helps sustain life, but is also destructive

the black goo helps sustain/create life, but is also destructive

One could also think that the fire is technology (space travel, creating androids, etc.)


Fire is forbidden technology from the gods.
Weyland is searching for the forbidden technology from the engineers, which is the ability to create life, and to extend life, and to live forever.
The Engineers created humans. Weyland created David.

>>No faggot bad-makeup Weyland wanting eternal life
Huge improvement over the alien technology angle.
>>David was far more sinister and ended up going full evil-android
Making David morally ambiguous and sympathetic was a tremendous improvement.
>>Shaw not a complete religious moron
Shaw was religious by choice. Her faith was a kind of defiance.

lindelof took lame alien fanfiction and turned it into something worthy of being an actual movie

it's not his fault the film was fucked in editing
