MemberOvomorph02/23/2012Not to piss in everyone's Cherrios but I think Prometheus is going to be as related to Alien as Blade Runner was to Alien, being that the theme, setting dystopia are similar with maybe just a little more reconizable parrallels and lapses.
EX. The Replicants in Blade Runner are the "ancestors/prequel" to Ash in Alien. Alien twist- To prevent the "Blade Runner - Retirement" incidents they replaced the more organic Blood for the Milky/Seminal-like fluid for Ash to better distinguish them from humans (Ash drinks 'milk' in Alien, probably for the nutritional benefits).
Pardon the digression, anyway, the Filmmakers have stated that the movie will have parallels, but is definately something more than an "Alien" movie that we know of.
Beware of "Twists/tie ins" - Remember the big "twist" in AVP-R, with the Weyland-Yutani tie in, the Strauss' were hyping about. . . it could be that relevant
For all the Alien Fans out there; don't set the Xenomorph expectation too high. . .

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 1:07 AMGeoph can actually spell. Our faveorite troll couldn't, and I don't get a feeling from the Force about him being a jerk like I did from the other guy. Might just be me, but I don't think Geoph is out to cause trouble. Healthy debate perhaps.
@Rick I'm flattered to have gotten a mention from you about The Guyver. I do also like Predator, just didn't like them and my other fave creatures mashed up the way they were. I still want to cry when I think about it. But crying isn't for me, so I'll just play Dark Sector again. Throwing the Glaive calms me :-P
Sorry there was apoint to this, I went to the dentist today and still feel a little woozy, but I really hopethat it is it's own story with new and creepy creatures that will eventually lead into the original Alien, because frankly something new needs to happen, and people are just making too many "prequels" "reboots" "origin stories" nowadays, I get that we all have a love for our old faveorites but I need something new, both in design and storytelling because otherwise I feel like I'm wasting my money.

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 8:43 AMyeah im not trying to troll, trust me youd be able to tell cause instead of acting all nice and.... timid i guess, id be all confident and cocky and actually probly get kicked from the site (>,>) [not good at trolling but i am good at makin people hate me] and i cant spell, im just using spell check while im on this site so i seem edjumacated. anyway i used to know a whoooole lotta stuff about predators (was a huge fan freak for a long time) but i think ive forgotten most of what i knew.... except that i read this comic once (AVP one i think) dude (meaning a predator) was missing an arm an still rippin an tearin up all sorts of aliens... was pretty cool... what was my point again? >,>... oh yeah, i just saw the 11 min gameplay sneak peak at Aliens Colonial Marines (the game that was suppose to come out in 2008 then 2010 then 2011 then next month now September) and ive gotta say, it looks good. picks up 2 weeks after Aliens the movie and the new marines go back to LV-426 to figure out what happened. anyway they put in some new mutations of the aliens due to radiation i guess (i think they said something like that) any way they can come up with GREAT new ideas for "new" aliens so if there are going to be xenos in this one (which by what everyone was yelling at me about earlier) i cant wait to see what they look like and what they can do. itd be pretty sick to see one of the facehuger throwers in this movie from the AVP PS2 game but i doubt that theyll ever put those guys in a movie lol

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 8:50 AM(oh and hey since you guys are down with Alien youve probly seen Aliens right? well if you remember when the marines go down to the reactor level of the station to see what everyone is doing down there they get ambushed (as we all know and love cause a group of 20 marines gets dropped to 6) anyway if you remember the yelling over the coms when the camra cuts back to the tank Ripley is in you can hear Hudson yelling over the coms along with a few other marines. I need, ABSOLUTELY NEED, you guys to rewatch that scene.
NEXT you need to watch AVP2 (Requiem [meaning celebration for the dead if i remember correctly... anyway]) *spoiler* when the national guard comes in on mainstreet the main group is talking to them over the radio/toolbox they got from in the store. listen closely, not to the characters but to the radio. if youve listened "properly" youll know you have. its good, its really good, so far im one of the only few people that actually "figured" it out.
anyway good night, have fun, and most importantly.... DO WHAT I SAID! I COMMAND THEE TO DO SO!

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 9:13 AMI heard that as soon as I saw that abortion in the cinema. So about 3 years ago. Full of fan service it is though, it still sucked. I haven't seen it since then.
And that last line "commanding" us, kinda does remind me of someone else.... Starts with an Ush and the end rhymes with "fuck" and I really hope you aren't one and the same person.
We will be watching.

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 8:17 PMwho? anyway you noticed what was playing on the radio when you first saw the movie? i think it was pretty clever of them to do dont you? that was my favorite part of the movie other than the duel plasmacasters and predalien tho i dont like how they gave it the ability to make more aliens.... anyway who do you think i am Cypher? this is actually the first.... forum maybe? is it called? that ive ever been a part of other than some game spot ones that i never really cared about. anyway i can assure you that im not who ever you think i am. i can prove it if you want

MemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 9:05 PMi guess to get a reaction to be deliberately annoying etc your guess is as good as mine we just dont know.

Co-AdminMemberOvomorphFeb-25-2012 10:05 PMLong Tall Sally :-P stupid computerdoiing things I don't want to do. I want mine back! :'(
But yeah sorry Geoph we've had a bit of a rough trot with idiots before, so you'll have to excuse me, I don't mean to be rude at all.
AvP:R was OK for something to do Christmas day (which is when it came out here) but it didn't grab me like I hoped it would. The fan-service bits were good though, but I think maybe too much thought went into that kind of stuff rather than a decent story....... But it was good to kill a few hours :-D

MemberOvomorphFeb-26-2012 4:04 AMyeah i saw it on Christmas day as well, i think the main reason why i really enjoyed AVPR so much was because i went in only looking for action an not story, same with the first one... well the first one the only real reason why i liked it so much was cause of Weyland lol. ya know, the first Bishop and such... i love that guy... and lance henriksen did a good job with him too... good times, good times

MemberOvomorphFeb-26-2012 5:07 AMThis an alien prequel for one simple reason. The ship from the first film is in it. Hence same universe, means prequel wether there is Xenos in it or not

MemberTrilobiteFeb-26-2012 5:23 AMYes Prometheus is a prequel to Alien 1979 but it is not an "Alien" movie, as in the movie is not about the Alien (the creature), it is about the Space Jockey (also seen in Alien). Or to put it another way...
Prometheus is a Space Jockey movie, and thus a Prequel to "Alien 1979".

MemberOvomorphFeb-26-2012 7:01 PMI personally think Prometheus is an Alien movie, but perhaps only spiritually......or whatever more fitting term to describe the subtlety of the similarities. Prometheus will still be its own thing. Hell they're already working on a sequel, or so I heard weeks ago. Point is that Prometheus is sure to have similarities, and just because we are unlikely to see the familiar xenomorphs doesn't always conclude it won't be an Alien movie. Of course, I say that now remembering that Prometheus' storyline is going to touch upon some truly deep sh!t, like humanity's origins and ancient astronauts.
Of course, just 'cause I say it's an Alien movie doesn't mean we will see the familiar xenomorphs; that's the thing. At this point in time the creature we are most likely to see is the Space Jockey. Whatever other creatures we may see in the movie are, as per my guesses, they're probably going to be based on old concepts dating back to when Alien was still in the developing stages.
I do look forward to being proven wrong in June, though.
