Everytime I see Alien, Im always fascinated by the Kane scene in wich he descends and we see a large corridor. I read somewhere (maybe here), that this corridor could unleash not only the eggs-alien but a large amount of similar horror and nightmares.

For me and maybe for others here, Prometheus didnĀ“t go so well, starting with the exoskeleton vs suit theme, the space jockey going blue human, and more.

At last for me the movie grow with the time but it always gonna have the plot holes, incongruent characters/reactions, editing, dialogue, etc.

So what if Blomkamp just retcon Prometheus too and go with another kind of Space Jockey concept and universo, more adjusted to the original?

Sure, but I doubt it.

With Scott producing, this isn't going to happen. If anything, you can expect a tie-in not a retcon. Even Blomkamp mentioned his development of this project being a positive 'trip through the world Ridley Scott created...' and it would do fans well to remember that it was Ridley Scott's films that created it.

No, no more retcons.

If there is a need to create a more Alien SJ, just establish Engineers and SJ's as separate things.

Why not? The retcon gates are already blown wide open.

It won't get retconned unless it's got a below 50% on RT seems to be the general rule of thumb, plus with Ridley still having stake in the franchise it'll never happen.

Because Prometheus is actually a brilliant film.  One of the best in the series.

It's possible, due to the concept art of the Alien-like suit and breathing mask being labelled as a Space Jockey suit, which would be clearly very different in appearance to the ones from 'Prometheus'.

That is very true.

Heck maybe the Engineers wear the Elephant suits to match up with the Space Jockeys' ships?  It's really reaching.  The space jockeys are much less compelling than engineers.

But the flute......the FLUTE DAMMIT!!!!

I just cant accept Prom's explanation of the Space Jockey.  That, and the "tentacle monster" designs.  Its like it went against everything the original ALIEN stood for.  To me, it seems like Prom never WANTED to be an "Alien movie", so why should I consider it as such?

The flute is brilliant IMO.

That's one of the last things I would complain about- for me personally Prometheus was perfect everywhere but the writing department.
