Without a doubt the true identity and role of the high blue guy is one of the great mysteries of Prometheus. Several speculations have been made such as:
1 - it is a space jockey.
2 - it is an engineer (if we take into account that the jockeys are not gods, if not rather more).
3 - it is a mutated human.
4 - he is an Assistant for the jockeys.
5 - is an alter ego of Prometheus in Greek mythology, a demigod or Titan. Yes I know that Prometheus is just a metaphor ... and no, I do not expect obvious appearances of the gods of Greek mythology ... for this reason that I use the term alter ego.
6 - etc.
But if this character is a human of the future?

Perhaps in the future humanity found an extinct alien race technology, and the high blue boy is a version of the future of humanity. Their biomechanical suits are part of the stolen legacy of the ancient alien gods who disappeared or became extinct for a long time... eaten by their own monstrosities created by alien engineering.
Perhaps Elizabeth Swann tried to warn via a message warning that mankind will become something monstrous and horrible and all this because of having found and used the fruit prohibido…el fire from the gods that has fallen into the wrong hands giving rise to horrific entities which could put an end to the human race.

On the other side I know that the ancient astronauts theories dealing with aliens, but if we have been to a science fiction story we take into account the possibility that UFOs and the gods of antiquity are actually time travelers, human of the future; what I mean is that they do not come from another world, they come from another time.

We also know that the weapons and war have been around since the dawn of humanity. The Weyland Corporation is very interested in the creation of weapons, probably behind evolution and metamorphosis of the xenomorph. Do not get me wrong, I'm saying is that played a key role in the final product, I'm not saying that's created from a zero point.

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012Why are there so many Blue People in popular culture? Blue Aliens in AVATAR, Blue Aliens in MEGAMIND, Kal El dressed in Blue etc...

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I'm impressed by this theorizing - I think it pretty thoroughly draws on the various themes that have been spoken about, as to what this movie will be about. It's speculating that I find is food for thought, expanding on what folks have up to now come up with.
RickK
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I got my own theory about the "blue guy" - he's not really blue. He just looks that way because everything in the room has a blue tint to it.
shambs
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012lol... is only a nickname... at least until we know if he is an engineer or something else. It is like the name space jockey, improvised...
Best regards

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012NO, it's these guys making a cameo appearance

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I agree with RickK, I don't think that he is blue. I think the color is the result of indirect illumination from the room. If you ever watched the matrix everyone looked green in it but they were not. : ) I think that was a stylistic choice ( using fluorescent lights whose color temperature was not corrected) to give the film a more artificial feeling atmosphere. Another example would be Minority Report and the "bleached" look.

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012Also interestingly:
[i]A dazzling array of devotional practices surround Kali, and the iconography representing her is equally lavish in displaying her common attributes: red rage-intoxicated eyes, lolling tongue, fangs, disheveled hair, dark blue or black skin, 4 or 10 arms, sometimes many faces, wearing a garland of human skulls, holding a severed head and a skull drinking bowl of blood on one side, and a sword and trident on the other. She is accompanied by jackals and snakes, and often dances in triumph over her submissive consort Shiva.
She represents death, time, energy, the battlefield, change, ultimate reality . . . . . and disease.[/i]

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012Now that you mention it, RickK, his color does blend in with the colors in the room - so maybe he's translucent, which hints at some interesting possibilities!

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012Biomechanic and pjr, is Just a nickname...It probably has a pale color in their skin. Although you could be Smurf dad. what I mean is that this subject is a human of the future and not an alien.
Best regards

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012We really need a new trailer, these speculations are going in circles
Biomechanic
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I know Shambhala. Just trying to explain it before we are flooded with many "SpaceJockey is Shiva" threads.
shambs
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012visualizer...certainly we need the trailer, the wait is killing me ...
pjr
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012That's a valid nickname Shambhala. My feeling about him is he is further up the hierarchy from the space jockey, maybe a lessor "god", possibly aka Prometheus.
The High Priest
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I quite simply belive this is the space jockey that gets the controvertial "suit" wrapped around him as he takes control of the derelict. He is then "impregnated" by the new geneticly engineered creature "facehugger". A chestburster erupts from him as he is en route to Earth - He then looses control of the ship, crash landing on LV 426.

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012@The High Priest...Well, technically that is the most obvious and plausible explanation ... but since this movie has become so enigmatic...
db
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I ask because I was under the impression from the original Alien that the SJ only showed 3 fingers when grabbing the controls in front of him.
db
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012@ The High Priest: I've been a believer in that scenario for weeks myself (since I saw the trailer really). I don't think Ridley is trying to go out of his way to complicate the story line. I think it will be an engaging and challenging story but all this speculation about 2 different derelicts, various space jockeys/engineers/pilots is a great big excercise in creative thinking, but futile. There may even only be one SJ in the whole movie... once that guy becomes it. 1 SJ to operate 1 derelict. That's my bet.
shambs
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012@Db, Perhaps the bald blue giant is not a jockey... can be an alter ego of Prometheus in Greek mythology, a human of the future, or a mutant, or a God... perhaps the jockeys and engineers or gods are not the same thing..
pjr
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012I too was wondering about how many fingers the space jockey in Alien had, so I watched that scene in Alien - at the beginning, when you first see him, it looks like maybe only 3 fingers, but then they show him from the other side, and it's pretty clear there he has at least 4 fingers (as well as a thumb though you can't see it but it should be on the other side of what he's gripping.
walterhiller
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012...shambhala, this movie has nothing to do with greek mythology. it's a metaphor. do you expect the obviously fictional greek god to make an appearance?
with ancient astronaut, you at least have some room to maneuver.
*facepalm*
shambs
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012@walterhiller Yes, I know that Prometheus is just a metaphor ... and no, I do not expect obvious appearances of the gods of Greek mythology ... for this reason that I use the term alter ego ... my thoughts was that the ancient extraterrestrial astronauts are not gods ... they are time travelers ... but they are only subjective theories ... the movie is the only source of truth after all ... as they say: the truth is more stranger than the fiction ...

MemberOvomorph01/27/2012any one read alan moore's promethea nothing to do with this film but a great entertaining read for a graphic novel the artwork is gorgeous to.
F--- it - lets go for it!
MemberOvomorph01/27/2012defo the guy from euro supergroup - eiffel 55,
im blue da-ba-dee-da-ba-doo!!!!!!
20thcenturybuick
MemberOvomorph02/16/2012its cool they are humanoid but still impressively alien looking...yeah i would bet that is the infamous jockey...
accprding to the creation myth of prometheus... prometheus felt sorry for humanity that was created as a slave race to serve the gods...so prometheus stole the fire of the gods to empower humanity...so maybe prometheus is a rogue space jockey...say the jockeys bred us to be their slaves..which would explain all the slaves used to build the pyramids and the great wall etc etc..but one jockey sympathizedwith humanity and enl;ightened them with the fire of the gods
