Mutant baby...UGH

I am T If you noTice in The inTernaTional Trailer as Shaw crawls across The spaceship wall hunched down and in obvious pain, you can see a knarly red incision across her sTomach insenuaTing The hybrid jockey-engineer/human had probably jusT been Taken ouT. Which is greaT To finally know. Ridley ScoTT said he was "embarssed" abouT some of the scenes in The movie due To The graphic conTenT we will see.. I am so f-n stoked for This movie.

@ Biomechanic Not Sure if you are referring to my post but I assure you that I am only pointing out an obvious flaw in the argument. To say ' Your style of debate is disgraceful' makes no sense in this case. And the amount of posts that somebody makes in relation to the amount of respect that they deserve doesn't have to be a factor. We should promote healthy debate and not misconstrue it as an attack, this is a forum after all.

I suggest everyone get back on topic before a mod locks the thread.

this is not JUST a forum...its a PROMETHEUS forum... @drcyclops agreed though, but frantz has said some great shizz on this forum

In regards to this whole subject, I watched the 1st Alien film just the only day with the commentary on. Ridley said himself that the 1st film was partly about rape and had many sexual things about it. In fact he said that the scene where Ash tries to kill Ripley was in his words "what android rape would look like". So, I don't even know why anyone would try to argue about these film's having rape or sex themes in them or not, it's like arguing if the color green is really green. Just my worthless two cents.

The fact that rape was at the core of the first story is a given. The whole point of that was the disturbing images and the creepiness of it all. I think what Frantz was trying to say is that there is no need to giggle over it like a kid who just found his dad's nudie magazines. Such things are offensive and immature on a number of levels. The negative reaction to discussions of rape are rooted with a couple members who went too far with the subject, just as this thread appears to be headed. This post is not a personal attack, and does not require one in return.

I think there is a big difference between acknowledging the obvious undertones of Alien and gloryfing them. Yes it's disgusting and disturbing, but it's supposed to be. That's the whole point. That does not make the whole "alien rape" aspect good, again it's not supposed to be. You're not supposed to like it, but it's silly to deny that it's there, or that it's a major theme. That being said, it would be nice if people would discuss/debate things in a mature way, especially given the seriousness of that particular subject matter. As far as the squid thing goes, it's hard to tell what it is just from the trailer, but some sort of human-alien hybrid seems likely, if a bit cliche. It's creepy whatever it is.

My original intent for this post was to express being very "disturbed"; to think of a woman carrying something other than a human baby in her womb is really just sooooooooooooooo wrong on sooooooooooooo many levels. I don't think Shaw is raped but she consents to the ummmm merging with an infected Holloway producing the ummmm thingy. Just another thought. At least that was my thought. Some of these posts belong with a Post titled The Galaxy of Terror worm rape. Will it be in Prometheus? (Not my intended post)

Its ok to talk about some sexual tones of Alien ...but saying that the MAIN theme of Alien is inter species rape is just plain ridicolous and quite offensive regarding one of the best movies ever made . the fact that the alien race search a host to lay his eggs dont mean that we have always to find a sexual overtone to appeal each own fantasies . Personaly, I find it offensive that you think this is my personal fantasy. The term "inter-species rape" was actually introduced to me by an interview with Ridley Scott. It was his mindset in making the film. Now if I had said Titanic was all about being raped by ice-bergs I could see your point.
