I'll just expand on what I said
here.
As said there, I might come straight as a whiny fanboy or someone along the lines thereof, but I will just state my thoughts on the matter.
If what we are seeing in that screenshot is, indeed, one of the famed 'Space Jockeys', I am disappointed by this aspect of the film.
I'll be honest in saying the suit aspect, since when it was just 'whispered', never convinced me... bar any comparison you want with
Independence Day... that wasn't the first thing that popped in my mind. What holds that place is the thought of those ribs... those bent-out ribs, they were just part of a suit? That head we get a dramatic and eerie close-up of, with its empty and dead-for-aeons orbital holes... was not a head? Yeah... didn't excite me in the slightest when Scott confirmed it in an interview - quite the opposite in fact, but I could see why such a choice would be made, as it would allow for more artistic liberties to be taken, instead of being chained to what's already set up. From this point I was hoping either for something 'close but not the same as' this 'suit', or something fresh and not disappointing. At this point, the design possibilities were virtually endless - they could've brought up the worst pages of the Necronomicon to life, the ones that looked more alien, more otherwordly: the great beast with its writhing, tentacled head, that biomechanical dragon-thing ('Alien IV' to get specific), or what have you. Instead, what we actually get is a bald giant with biomechanical qualities... ohhh, that's great, with all
the flying great f**k they could've come up with,
that's what we get. The much-famed Space Jockey, the thing we've all been waiting to see alive and kicking onscreen,
is a giant bald man. How unquestionably great.
"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"... I've never really realized how true this statement could be hahaha.
All of this, of course, in-keeping that Mr. Giger-Diesel up here being indeed the Jockey is nothing less or more than an
assumption, since for all we know, that thing could be anything.
