Closer look at a possible Space Jockey? (SPOILERS)

[Le Celticant]

Lets wait for the movie and then criticize....hey , this is Ridley Scotts new movie, sci-fi movie !!! It's gonna be epic.

Awesome, I think Ridley is on to something, no really...

let's do the same thing to the next Predator film, no Predators, no dreads, no mandibles, sounds good to you?

Ok I'm done, have fun with the PG-13 Xenomorph-less film.

Since when there is ALIEN in the title ? Ridley said this isnt direct alien prequel and you are actin like its an direct alien prequel but for some reason ridley decided there will be no xenomorphs .

Hello,

AVP Galaxy "The pulse of the Alien and Predator community" reports news from Prometheus.
Space Jockey
Derelict (at least same model)
Android
Weyland
Do I really need to say everything we know that link both so far?

It's like Bilbo the Hobbit.
It's not about destroying the ring and that's all the difference you can figured out.

Also, I hardly see Ridley states "We'll see xenomorph" when this could concerns the
very last scene.

I am disappointed too about the SJ.
I always had in mind this weird image:
The CHAIR & the SJ are ONE.
Which is original.
I mean imagine just the thing, The space jockey
and the chair are one! Like the chair you sit down
in front of your comp and you are one!
You are programmed to your duty: Surf the web!
It is a hell of an idea they had for ALIEN (1979)
and it is now erased by "a guy in a suit" aka load
of comic book, ID4, AVATAR, blablabla.

Uninspired, Déjà Vu, weak.

I had an idea that the Space Jockey saw the Twilight films, some Justin Bieber videos, and then decided humanity must die.

The bitching is starting to get annoying now.  Horror-wise the Xenomorph is nothing now.  Its not even scary.  They can't keep reusing the same monster; so suck it up. (Unless we want a repeat of Aliens (hurpdurpSpaceAnts) or Requiem (Lolpreds and fail aliens))

The problem extends to the Jockey too.  If they didn't pull the Suit trick then...how exactly do they get people to be afraid of the Jockey?

This is the reason why Zombies, Vampires and Werewolves aren't scary in the least any more.  So suck it up and see what Scott gives us.

Speaking of Twilight...Predators are taking care of that

Those retarded Strause Brothers have killed the Xenomorphs.

[The Hyena]

Aliens killed the Xenomorph.  The moment it became cannon fodder, it lost all horror appeal.  Aliens wasn't a bad movie though.

As bad a movie as Resurrection was...that was the only movie that actually began to make them more scary again. (but was executed incorrectly)

[EEV-2501]

Even if a lot of us doesn't like Resurrection, it has nothing to do with the abominable AVP movies. It was still ALIEN.

[OmegaZilla]

Hey The Hyena, I thought you liked Resurrection. Did you change opinion?

Hello,

The problem isn't the creature itself I think.
It's the vision people had of them while doing a movie.
Also, apart the first Alien, I've never considered any other
movie to be horror movies since the "psychology"
to build an horror movie was lacking.
It was more about people dieing, gore, blabla over used to
a point in which if you see a good guy kill a bad guy you
probably won't feel a shit and vice versa.

[The Hyena]

It was my second favourite movie (Alien being first).  I do understand that a lot in it could have been improved however. (Newborn appearing much sooner would have really given an Alien feel)

The problem is the creature though.  Even if they went with no Jockies and focused on the Alien...it will still feel like we know everything thats going to happen.  Theres no room for creativity unless we go for Cloned Alien type things (which people seem to be against).

Once your exposed to something too much it becomes not scary.  Like Zombies.  Who can honestly say they've been horrified by a zombie movie lately? Compare the reactions to people in the very first zombie movies.  Now its just another cannon fodder zombie.

This is why I'm willing to take a chance on the Bald Man jockey, because its new and fresh, and has that possibility of the phrase 'We are our own worst Enemy' happening.

Something even Ripley and a hundred nukes couldn't do...

[EEV-2501]

^^I really like the storyline and the background, real Alien style for me, but the problem of the movie for me was Ripley. They should have begun a new cycle with Resurrection. Same kind of plot but no Rip.

You can see the skills of the guys.

[wmmvrrvrrmm]

I have no issue with the Jockey being humanoid - so long as I see him somehow fuse to a biomechanoid suit, which I think will happen. Not only that, there're other beasts in the movie. The original bootlegged trailer shows a silver xeno-headed parasite slither past, along with what I can only describe as a flash of a "space cat" creature.





Fox haven't shot their load already - there's more to this movie yet to come...I think I might switch off till June so I'm pleasantly surprised. Going to be hard tho... lol

Well the second photo reminds me of the Space Jockey head that they have in the scanner in Prometheus

People would've complained anyway. Now fans say 'NAW DEY SHUDDVE DONE SUMFIN ELS'. If the film hadn't Ripley, it would be, instead, 'NAW THEY SHUDDVE DONE IT WIFF RAIPLEY'.

This sums up the Aliens fanbase quite well.
