MemberOvomorphJan 9, 20121813 Views17 RepliesI really hope that isnt the actual plot...although it seems pretty damn good for a piece of fanfiction....it seems pretty legitimate...its the one about the engineers SPOILERS
creating all life on earth and the aliens using some bio liquid to mutate the humans and the robot david becomes the basis for mankind or somthing which doesnt really make sense to me..because it doesnt make sense peroid...how can a robot created by humanity be the blueprint for the first humans...maybe they could make it work i dont know but i hope that isnt the actual whole plot...i also dont like the idea of the xenomorphs actually being the offspring of mutated humans...come on out of respect for alien and aliens...the things were completely out of our world and entirely alien creatures..the face huggers and the alien were nothing like anything from earth...they shouldnt mess that up...

I read it also...because I wrote it. The "David turning into a human thing" was my trying to reconcile the supposed shot from the Comic-Con sizzle reel where David cuts his finger and bleeds "human" blood, and another shot where he's apparently "crying" (is it in Fassbender's contract that he has to do that in every film he's in?)...I figured that the androids of the Alien universe seemed partially organic, and I was trying to play up the "Birth of Man/2001" angle...but yeah, you're right, it probably doesn't make a lot of sense.
But obviously, it's fan-fic...some schmuck(s) ripped it off from my original post, and posted it elsewhere claiming it was the real thing...despite my very CLEAR disclaimer pointing out that it was in fact fan fic. It's since gone viral. Go figure.

lolwell nice work ...it was verydecent....but the worm hole time travel to ancient earth pissed me off. but still pretty good if you actually did make it

I have to echo buick in saying that it was a STELLAR fan fiction piece. To be honest I would be thrilled with anything related to the crew mutating, ship coming alive, so forth... I hope we see something along those lines. Knowing Ridley we will definitely get something awesome. We also have to give thanks that the crew has done such a great job at NOT spoiling everything! I can't wait until July!
RobotpoJanuary 09, 2012
Well thanks guys! ;) Fortunately, the teaser makes it apparent that the actual film is going to blow my version away! :)

How about:
[url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/board/thread/186534938?p=1]I posted this plot outline back in August...?[/url]

Hey, nice to see you, Robotpo!
I actually bookmarked that IMDB page a few weeks ago to throw at people who kept bringing it up on different message boards as being real, and all of the reposts were leaving off the (rather important) introduction that includes the "I MADE THIS UP".
Someone even said that it seemed even [i]more[/i] real after seeing the trailer because certain facts meshed up.. I pointed out what you just said, that you were basing your ideas off of actual footage that you'd seen.
You had some interesting ideas in there, but I hope you're wrong about time travel.. I know Damon Lindelof is involved, but I really hope they don't go that route! Still pretty cool, I haven't had the time to sit down and write anything up regarding the film, although I do have some ideas of my own.
But yeah.. this guy's the real deal, he made up that "synopsis" long before it started making the rounds as a "leaked script" or whatever.
RobotpoJanuary 09, 2012
Hey Jockey2016, and thanks for the back-up/confirmation! :) It's amazing that this thing is STILL floating around, but, what can one do? Thanks for the thoughts on the outline...I'm sure the final film will be significantly different (and probably won't include time travel)! ;)
And by all means, I'd be interested in reading other's views on what will transpire in the film as well. Perhaps you could post either here or IMDB if you find time to write-up your version!

Robotpo,
When your story went all viral, I remembered reading it before…and tried to convince my Alien fan friends that it was fan fiction. BUT, most were so horny for PROMETHEUS action, that they just blew me off…satisfied in their invincible ignorance. Having said that, I thought you twisted a pretty cool yarn…even though I am a bit repulsed by the whole…God doesn’t exist, and aliens created Mankind concept…born of the Ridley Scott statements. I thought you’re work was pretty imaginative…and famous…though uncredited. Well done!

@Robotpo
well, i gotta say....
for being a "fake", it's a GENUINELY intriguing read. in fact, i've been going by
that plot ever since i saw the stills / teasers, and now the official trailer. in my mind - -
they match
i was a bit turned off at the interjection of time travel,
at the same time, it was put in there in a clever way, so i was able to deal with it
the plot you concocted in fact so good / convincing to me,
that i will be going by that one until i see the film for myself, and then possibly proven
wrong by the actual film itself. so for me, it's a win / win situation. if that makes any sense
well done there Robotpo, well done
RobotpoJanuary 09, 2012
Thanks shardy! I hope (and except) the actual film will make mine look like fan-fic...which it is anyway! ;)
20thcenturybuickJanuary 10, 2012
yeah thats intriguing writing...i guess you really did write it..good work
20thcenturybuickJanuary 10, 2012
all that BIOFORMER stuff was pretty good..not your standard fanfic..actually sounded like somthing hollywood would produce
RobotpoJanuary 10, 2012
Thanks, although apparently from the teaser, the ampules contain something else entirely (evidently, some type of lifeform or biological matter).

LOL I knew I had read that Plot here and I remember reading the "I MADE THIS UP" part at the beginning of the post that contained it. Next thing I know its all over the internet being suggested as the actual Plot for the movie. No matter how much I tried to say "[i]Guys, this was fan-fic by some one on Prometheus-Movie forums!! The guy there never intended for it to be confused as the actual movie plot![/i]" ...no one seemed to pay attention to me. I guess everyone was just so excited at being one of the first to know what the actual plot was that they didn't listen to reason.
Anyhow - nice story Robotpo! I'll be honest and say I don't like the part where Theron's character turns out to be a sleeper Engineer creation/StarBeast, but I liked the rest.
