Hi, forgive me if someone already started a thread on this. Has anyone ever seen the Prometheus fan edit "LV-426"? My friend is likes fan edits and I checked some out, they have a section on Aliens. So I saw that one, it's a fan edit that edits the movie to make Prometheus a direct prequel to Alien where it ties up loose ends. The thing that bothered me the most about Prometheus was that it didn't lead into Alien, some people were even confused. When me and my brother saw it my brother said "Wasn't the Space Jockey supposed to die in the chair?" and I said "You know that's not the same ship from Alien?" I mean, I get that Ridley Scott tried to make a series out of it, but in my opinion, I think he should've made it a direct prequel that ties up the loose ends for Alien, and still have it go its own course, I mean he wanted to focus all on the Engineers with this series, the only reason Covenant was an Alien movie, was because of people complaining about Prometheus not having Aliens. But the point is, the fan edit makes the movie a direct prequel to Alien, where the planet is LV-426, the ship is the Derelict, and the Engineer is the Space Jockey. He does a lot of great edits, for example, in the briefing scene with the hologram of the planet, he changes the label "LV-223" to "LV-426" and another thing he changes was he played with the audio to say that Fifield and Milburn didn't get lost, they wandered off to study rocks. The best part is the ending, where it all ties together.
Spoiler
See, at the end, we have the part where David wakes up the Engineer, and he takes the deleted scene where the Engineer talks and he adds subtitles that explains the star map wasn't an invitation, it was a warning, and he takes control of the ship and sets it for Earth, when the Deacon bursts out of his chest but the ship is still on autopilot, Shaw tells Janek to crash the ship and he does, and the Derelict crashes and crushes both Vickers and Shaw. David's head tries to contract Shaw, but he's screwed when the Deacon comes for him ending with David's last words "The trick is not minding that it hurts," then cuts to black hinting that the Deacon finished him off. Then the credits show the Derelict on the planet and the Nostromo finding it. I think what I would've done, was have Shaw survive and she and David go to search for the Engineer's homeworld like the original ending, I think the problem I would have is figuring out how to kill the Deacon after the crash.
I think my only complaint is that it doesn't establish that the eggs were on the ship, but I guess that's self-explanatory, but I think he was also trying to say that the eggs were underground, under the Derelict, I think some fans have debated that. But it was pretty good, I think it was a pretty good lead into Alien and I thought it would finely edited. Has anyone seen it or agree that would've been better as a direct prequel to Alien?
