MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Hi all,
First time poster, long time lurker.
So I was reading the insert booklet from the Blu-Ray Quadrilogy where Ridley mentions he's working on a prequel. But what I find interesting is where he says "this universe filled with aliens, space jockeys and something much more dangerous".
So I've been trying to think what the "something much more dangerous" is. It's obviously not the Jockeys, or Xenos. I think the large black disc above the waterfall is a ship and the 'something more dangerous' is on-board this ship. Are they the true gods? And all 'Space Jockeys' are 'Engineers' who work for these gods?

I think he's talking about Humans! Because we have the capacity to F things up like no other!!

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012IIRC i think the full quote from the booklet is "this universe filled with aliens, space jockeys and something much more dangerous [b]you haven't seen yet[/b]"
But I can't confirm this until I get home. Anyone else got one to hand?

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012I strongly believe in the existence of a higher-order race ([i]not[/i] SJs, Engineers, etc) that will maybe be featured in the beginning of the movie and towards the end. Lindelof and others have hinted at how the events in the movie will make us feel tiny at the grand scale of the universe - and arguably also in the race pecking order. And I believe that a glimpse of the Gods and their punishment for our acts, dangerous in that sense, would show us that quite eloquently.

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Like your thinking SoX2000. We can see the big blue guy in the trailer but.... I dont think ridley and the studio would want to reveal the real enemy in the movie too much. Maybe the disk above the waterfall is a ship and maybe the blue guy came from their too, to have a look just like us. Then the jockeys come... who knows but we have not seen the real enemies yet, ridley would not let that happen at all.

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Maybe it's the Flood from Halo ^^
nah, maybe someone who is even superior to the Aliens and SJ's.
But i really wonder how those would look like.

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Maybe this other thing Ridley Scott is talking about is the Value sized/ steroid infused Uncle Fester(Engineer) we see in the the trailer walking to the cannon. I am hoping that is the case. I 'd rather not have that be what fits inside the Space Jockey suit. Maybe the Space Jockey is the engineers failed attempt at a making the perfect weapon and due to them developing feelings of remorse the engineers decide to kill off the Space Jockeys (hince why they discover the carcass in the ampule room) and construct a better weapon by observing the conduct of the humans espicially the ones that are only about their agenda, someone that will get the job done not matter what the circumstances are. A survivor and not clouded by any conscience like their creators. The Xeno's! This is only a thought by the way. I don't want to upset anyone or get some elitists feathers all ruffled up this is only a theory. I repeat...THIS IS ONLY A THEORY.....

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012I'm in the camp the believes the BBF, Blue Bald Fella, is a space jockey, and he sits in the cannon chair within a suit.
I think the something more dangerous is either:
1) Something onboard the disc above the waterfall
2) Whatever David pulls out of the Urn/Vial in the trailer.
3) Something that 2) creates from a host.
I think that 2) is something along the lines of a proto-hugger. I believe facehuggers come from splicing a proto-hugger with a space-jockey's suit, which in turn I believe is bio-mechanical therefore spliceable with the bio part.
oo oo Edit:
I don't think we'll see what he's talking about or even get a hint of it until the Film. Whatever it is I believe we've not seen it yet even in the trailers or leaked materials.

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Ok so check this out, in my opinion.
"Prometheus" was a greek Titan. Zeus gave Prometheus and his brother Epimetheus the task of repopulating the earth after all living things perished in the early battles of the Gods. When Prometheus was done with creating man, he found that animals where faster, see, smell, and hear better than humans. Animals had warm coats of fur to keep them warm at night while man shivered in the cold nights. Prometheus felt sorry for man and stole fire from Olympus and Zues knowing that Zues would punish him severely.
Zues Took Prometheus and chained him with unbreakable irons to the top of the Caucasus Mountain where everyday a eagle would eat at his liver. And everyday his immortal liver grew anew.
So in my opinion, Prometheus is the Space Jockey, stealing fire, or the "aliens", and Zues is something that we have not seen yet. Something bigger and badder.

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012So in my opinion, check this out.
"Prometheus" is a Greek Titan. He and his brother Epimetheus were put in charge of repopulating the earth after the early battles of the Gods. Prometheus modeled men in the shape of the gods. Epimetheus made all the animals and gave them good gifts. When he was done, Prometheus noticed that animals could run faster, see, smell and hear better than man. Animals also had warm coats of fur while man shivered in the cold nights.
Prometheus, not wanting to see his creation suffer, stole fire from Olympus and Zues knowing that Zues would punish him severely. He gave the fire to man so they could keep warm and cook food. Zues did find out and chained Prometheus to the top of the Caucasus Mountains with unbreakable irons. There, everyday an eagle would eat at his liver, and everyday he would grow back his immortal liver.
So in my opinion, the Space Jockey is Prometheus, the fire is the "alien" or the facehugger, and Zues is something bigger and a lot badder than what we have seen yet. What do you all think?

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Unless the REAL SJ's we've been speculating on are actually a different being althogether, and the species we've been shown hints of in the trailer are what the Xeno-morphs use to be before the human intervention we'll see in Prometheus. . .

Interesting take. Didn't know Promey has a brother with a zoo.
I don't think our beloved Xeno is the "Fire" that Promey stole from the Higher Gods. That fire is supposed to be knowledge of arts, music, architecture, rational thinking, self-analysis etc. Xenomorph is the punishment from God. It is the Wrath of God, sent to punish Space Jockey (our Prometheus). And we humans must suffer as our Friendly God suffers. Notice how the infant Xenos burst out of the part of human body where roughly our liver is.
Also, there is an alternative take on the Greek Myth that paints Prometheus in a less heroic way. Promey is actually a jealous lesser God who envies Zeus' position as the ultimate God. The metaphorical fire that he gives to humans is not a gift but a call to rebel against the Gods. Think about it.

MemberOvomorph01/19/2012Also, there are a lot of parallels between Adam & Eve story and Prometheus & Pandora mythology.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorph01/19/2012I've been thinking this for awhile. There's something far worse than Xenos, Space Jockeys, or even a combination of those 2. The Jockeys are something else's lackeys I reckon.

Good call. I think you are right. The "eagle" is the alien bursting around the liver, as a punishment from "The God". Also, I like the last part about Prometheus being a lesser God and being jealous. I think it would make for a better movie.

MemberOvomorph01/20/2012he's referring, in a philosophical, witty and ironic way, to humans.
so not surprised that it would fly over this community's head.

I'm sure it has crossed everyone's mind here that he may have been referring to Humans, it's not that difficult to come accommodate that idea. But most people will have dismissed the answer as Humans because he says we haven't seen it before. And, of course, we all know how much of a dick Burke is in Aliens so have therefore seen how dangerous Humans can be.
I'm convinced he's referring to something tangible. A new monster or powerful being.

Who died and made you God lol....see what i did there.
Man i hate comments like that, that is why i notice people are starting to begin posts with,"sorry if this is re posted" or" sorry it is just a theory" and so on. It was never like this and it is people like you that just love to jump on peoples theories to make them look stupid and embarrassed. What you say above is a criticism not a view. No hard feelings mate, nothing personal to me or you but Sox2000 summed it up. 99 percent of the theories and ideas on here will not materialize in the movie but it is just such a damn pleasure to imagine and share thoughts and build this whole little universe in our minds.
My view is that there is something else, i don't think he was being philosophical. He knows what people want and they want to see things, not philosophy in this movie, people have waited too long but i do see where you are coming from though, it did cross my minds but if you what you are saying is the case then people will be dissapointed and Ridley knows that.
