Yes, the Deacon isn't an Alien, but it was conceived in such a way that it was basically an Alien and the basic appearance is the same.He needs to go for something completely out there - in much the same way as the original Alien was.

Quote from: Gash on Nov 27, 2014, 08:47:37 PMThe reporter seems to be making the leap that 'dragon' is what Ridley is calling the alien, but much as he had a dig at endless zombie flicks a while back, I took his remarks on dragons to be aimed at Game of Thrones, The Hobbit, maybe Harry Potter...

She finds answers to the big questions but while she is possessed by a biomechanical God. And then she begins to see images of the ancient past of the Engineers in her mind, when she is connected with that monstrosity.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 01, 2014, 10:44:12 AMThat's exactly the kind of thing I'd love to see. Ridley did himself a disservice moving away from the biomechanical aspect of Giger's designs. That's what truly made the Alien a fantastic design - the subsequent departure from those aspects in the later films lessened the visual awesomeness of the creatures.I feel the same happened for Prometheus. The rocky/natural appearance of the Engineer structures and the creatures.
