MemberOvomorph01/25/2012Seeing how similar SJ's technology is to the biology of the Xeno's we've seen in the Alien franchise, anyone else think that we could in fact see a species we've been led to believe were SJ's but are in fact a different unknown one that created both of them for different purposes?? With humans being outsiders in this plot. . . Don't abuse me for putting it out there!

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012The options I think possible are:
1) If they are biological suits, then the perhaps mutants that have possibly been contaminated by the bioformer are slowly developing a suit of battle which was finished by making biological weapons; the ancestors of the classic xenomorph that we all know.
(2) The Space Jockeys are creations like the xenomorphs. in that case in Prometheus should appear all powerful entities akin to gods and that they have created all the races of the franchise.
(3) The Jockeys created the man and man created the xenomorphs, obviously using the stolen technology to comply with the objectives and ambitions of the weyland Corporation.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012Yeah I was gonna touch on the fact that what we think are SJ's could in fact be the species that leads to the original Xenomorphs that we saw in the Alien films. . . The SJ's kinda de-evolve into the Xeno's perhaps.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012What I think is really interesting is the fact that the Space Jockey's not only created one but multiple bio-weapons. So if that's the case than what are those bio-weapons? Are they incredibly more frightening than the xenomorph and how do they destroy life?
Alien, Aliens, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection is one "string" of the Alien universe. That's "Ripley's" story. But were there any other bio-weapons released by the Space Jockey species that could of destroyed other planets in the same universe? Is the xenomorph really the ONLY threat out there in the vast expanses of space?
Thats where I think in the future of filmmaking, maybe other filmmakers could explore. Expand on the mythos of the Alien universe. With the right directors and filmmakers, I think it could happen. There could be other stories told other than "Ripley's". With new characters, new locations, new planets, a different bio-weapon/threat and a whole different story line.

MemberOvomorph01/25/2012Based on the mythology
Prometheus=Titan=Space Jockey
Zeus=Father of Gods=The figure in the giant statue
Humans=Humans
Urns=Fire/source of life
Pandora=Alien/xenomorph
Titan tricks God into accepting a crappy sacrifice, humans follow suit and makes similar sacrifices. God gets mad and withholds fire and "the means of all life" (the urns in the movie) from humans. Titan steals "urns" (fire and source of life) from God and gives back to humans. As punishment, God gives humans Pandora, camouflaging it as a great gift but turns out to be filled with horror.
Its hard to follow and Scott could go a few different ways, but I think the Space Jockey winds up being the middle man here and a part time ally to humans. The urns wind up being the "fire" stolen and given to humans, and as punishment, the god gives humans maybe the program to create the alien species from the urns. I don't think we'll see a direct interaction between the humans and the god, but something subliminal and maybe the life form in the urns also serves as a method for the god to communicate with the humans...i.e the life form in the urns takes over a human "host" so it can interact with the humans, and trick it into thinking it needs the xeno's to survive.

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012Good point Ripley Clone! I mean if Ridley Scott wants to show us this expanded universe in Prometheus, more than just the corporate greed show in the Alien franchise then introducing a new deadly alien species would be a good move. As in a galaxy of billions of planets, more than one "perfect" deadly species would exist I'd have thought. . .

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012PROMETHEUS is most likely an ALIEN reboot.
Just like other 20th Century Fox ReBoot Initiative:
X-MEN, PLANE OF THE APES, FANTASTIC FOUR, THREE STOOGES
