Prometheus is a prequel..please dont argue otherwise

me too man we're all "Junkies" now !

it's a fuckin' prequel. anyone who says otherwise has bought Fox's transparent marketing campaign, hook-line-and sinker. just sayin'.....

It's kinda a prequel but in a way such as: "Patriot Games" is to "Hunt for Red October" or "Casino Royal" is to "Thunderball"

Already wasted a lot of digital ink explaining how prequel is defined, regardless of one's opinion, or preference for how the word is used, so I rest my case. Zeus' last post here acts beautifully as a closing statement for my own contributions. Thank you, sir.

Furthermore, definitions might change over time, as/if the phenomenons they describe, change and evolve. But I understand the need to base your answers on something that feels valid and secure. Whether or not Prometheus is a prequel, nobody knows - that´s not the issue. I don´t necessarily agree or disagree with you on your conception of Prometheus being a prequel or not, but I kind of disagree with your interpretations of the dictionary descripitions and your faithful commitment to them. To follow up on your latest contribution on this topic; if u wrote what u wanted to write, then It is not a waste of digital ink IMO. You can write something in here, and watch it get twisted, misunderstood or used as platform for cheap and self-satisfied punchlines, apparently that´s the name of the game in here. But thank you for a pleasant and impartial dialogue about this subject.

[quote]Prometheus is NOT a prequel, per se. It is a... the best phrase seems to be "spin off".[/quote] you were saying, snorkelbottom?

Your first post is that, especially when I've already posted on the news topic (which you should read properly). Was I the only one with this view, no. Move on.
