Sod the trailer, I want film NOW!!!

[Game_Over_Man]

I rewatched Prometheus last night...it wasn't as bad as I remembered, but the unforgiving issues I have still concern the stupid character choices, the humanoid engineers and the crudely edited finale.

Is it possible to salvage the mystery of the Xeno and the Engineers? Yes. Just please don't let the Xeno's be a human hybrid made by David's experiments with the biomatter, and please let the Engineers be themselves mere servants to a higher, more "Alien" being.

The last thing we need is detailed explanations, excessive exposition of who and what these beings are. Imagine how creepy the briefest glimpse of another intelligent creature could be -  a master in the shadows, letting his beasts wreak havoc.

Of course I'm delighted there's a new movie arriving, I'm just more or less convinced the enigmas of the original film will be diluted, if at all present.

There not "space bugs" there total ALIEN" to everything we know 😊

There are no insects on Earth that transforms their prey into eggs.

Worth mentioning that according to Ridley, nothing is transformed, the cocooned person is just a food source that the egg uses to grow. There are lots of insects that use still-living prey to feed their growing young like that.

You can't wish for something to happen. In the end, this is Ridley's idea. It is his creation. People need to stop this whole "I want this....that". You cannot please everybody. Besides, the derelict on LV 426 is much older than the year in which covenant will be taking place, thus, the alien being created by David on this new planet would conflict with evidence of eggs found on LV426. Let's be honest, he will not be bending the timeline this much.

It has a tail. I know what a tail is. Teeth, head, TUBES too, insatiable sexual appetite, check. Not much at all that's really ALIEN.  Heck they are space bugs the same as we are space pussy to them.

Interesting word Run. To me the word links to Vickers telling David that if she doesn't tell him what Weyland said she'd find the cord that makes him run and pull it. I guess 10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD!", 20 GOTO 10, RUN
sort of thing. So Run to me made me immediately think of that, "running" or being alive in David's terms. I guess it's nothing to do with this but that's what I thought of.

I know what you mean, but at a basic biological level that is what exactly what eating and digestion is.    The egg, via the mechanism of digestions, is transforming the food source into itself.  I can transform pizza and hamburgers into body fat pretty easy

This teaser image reminds me of the first Alien poster!
The Xeno head and the egg shape is very similar!

Speaking of which, I don't think it has ever been addressed what aliens smell like, has it? Wonder if it will be brought up in the movie here. I mean, if the alien from the first movie smelt of something or even of all the rotting guts and brains of the former crew members, it would have given the survivors a visceral prompt of its presence.

Ridley imagined it reeked.

[Space Invader]

We need a wallpaper version of the teaser poster.

An alien must smell like a heavily soiled rubber SM dominatrix outfit soaked in battery acid.
