Most of those who complained about space jockeys'*revelation as humanoids in Prometheus.....

... Are going to miss the same 'Engineers' a lot.

Infact, a glimpse of a live Engineer with his biomechanical suit in the trailer would have made me enough excited than a rehashed,  revamped Xeno/Neo-morph attacking people.

Quote from: Evanus on Mar 06, 2017, 01:28:33 PMWhat I don't get, is that in Prometheus the black goo on LV-223 mutates everything it makes contact with.

Who says it was the goo that killed them? Maybe it was what the goo made that killed everything.

Well, the leaks make it sound like

David shoots the black goo at them and they all just die.

But what 426Buddy says makes a lot more sense.

'Most of'

You won't

Most of already does.

Agree to our disagreement.!

I'm expecting that the animal life and the engineers were killed during or right after exposure to the goo. Probably by some kind of quarantine procedure, one that seems to petrify on contact.

Those hundreds of humans/aliens/engineers weren't laid to waste in situ by goo. Goo doesn't do that. Supersonic clouds of volcanic ash do that, but volcanic eruptions tend to destroy trees (and wheat) as well as animals. Whoever these beings were they were smitten/struck down Old Testament style. "Philistines versus the Ark of the Covenant" style.

I will never forget this brilliantly put question and its curious reply when Valaquen interviewed Ian Whyte in 2013:

QuoteValaquen: The Engineer is a mysterious being. We don't know where he came from, and we have only the thinnest understanding of his mission. When you play such a creature do you formulate a backstory and attitude in your head? Who, as far as you're concerned, is the Engineer?

Ian Whyte: Someone on the crew, (I forget exactly who) described them absolutely perfectly as "Truck drivers of the apocalypse!" They serve a higher power/intelligence, unnamed and unknown.

Of course it is entirely possible that the "someone on the crew" was full of shit, but it has long been speculated, both before and after the release of Prometheus, that the engineers weren't the end game. The abject failure of the engineers behaviour in Prometheus to portray superior (or even basic) intelligence was a major beef for many people. For far less people (possibly just me) the fact that the engineer pilot was diminutive when compared to the original pilot just raised the discord.

Note that that image doesn't show a lone temple on a dead moon; it shows a cultured city on a rich and living planet. And everything is dead. Goo changes things. Aliens eat or appropriate things. Only god murders with impunity.

I hope your correct that there is something MUCH bigger is at play here.  The whole idea of David wiping out the planet with goo leaves a lot to be desired as far as I'm concerned.

Plant life can grown back a lot faster than a petrified body will erode. Especially as volcanic ash is so fertile.

Could be the motion blur but this doesn't look like the traditional facehugger.

I'm probably wrong though.

Yep, a Pompeii style catastrophe is not off the cards.
