[img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/Prometheus-Space-Jockey-close-up_.png[/img] 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? [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/155_genes_dioses_001.jpg[/img] 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. [img]http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x368/bipolarestancia/4079215231_dc0c9be009_b.jpg[/img] 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.

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.

Am I with the rest of you in seeing only 3 fingers and a thumb?

I 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.

@ 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.

@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..

I 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.

...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*

@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 ...

its 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

I think that ultimately the tale of Prometheus (the movie) will be one of warning. Everyone in the movie (space jockeys and humans alike) get fucked, proving the old adage "You don't fool with Mother Nature." to be true. I think that the humans and space jockeys alike are punished for prying into matters where they don't belong.
