Alien: Earth and Alien: Romulus sequel news

The who's right and who's WRONG thread!...

Okay, after weeks and weeks of reading some amazingly inventive conjecture and speculation (as well as a few ridiculous notions, frankly) on this forum...one of the things I'm greatly looking forward to, is finding out WHICH ideas are correct, and which have been totally WRONG!... So I'd like those of you with strong opinions (or hopes/fears) about anything that you're personally CONVINCED about, to lay them out here for everyone to see... Please join in, as it's just a bit of fun, and it'll be interesting to compare how near the mark or otherwise you are to what the writers/makers have ACTUALLY come up with for Prometheus... Let me start this off with my own specific beliefs in no particular order - 1. ALIEN was a genuine 10/10 movie experience at the time for me, and I reckon the PG-13 'theatrical' cut will turn out to be at least a 9/10 experience, with the inevitable harder-edged 'Director's Cut' on Blu-ray adding an extra notch to this score...which will be a little frustrating as I'd have liked to have seen ALL of it on the big screen in the first place! 2. I reckon the entire Shaw/squirming 'squid birth' scene is going to be almost as memorable, and gruesomely horrible as ALIEN's 'chestburster' sequence was... 3. I reckon that the 'derelict' craft seen in the trailers is NOT the one that's seen in ALIEN...and that we'll see more than one of them in this movie... 4. I reckon that it is indeed the BIG BALD FELLAH that ends up sitting in the seat wearing the 'space jockey' suit and helmet...although he's NOT the 'chestbursted' one that's discovered in ALIEN... 5. I reckon we'll also see a very different race of 'aliens' compared to whatever the BIG BALD FELLAH is...but it WON'T be the 'xenomorphs' we've seen in the previous movies... 6. I reckon the 'ampule' urns are a specific container for 'bio-weapon' material which can be used to 'seed' various planets with...which are capable of creating OR exterminating life on them, depending on the objective at the time...and contain different 'DNA' from various unknown species collected from other worlds in them... ([i]in addition, I reckon that SOME of the urn containers may contain the 'DNA' mixtures of more than one species in them, to make something new...and some may contain actual living species in their early stage of life, such as the fully-formed 'young' creature that 'David' pulls out of one of the containers...[/i]) 7. I reckon these 'ampule' urns are a SEPERATE kind of thing altogether compared to the leathery 'eggs' containing 'face-huggers' that we saw in the previous movies...and do NOT 'morph' into 'eggs' in any way... ([i]in addition, I reckon that the 'xenomorph' eggs seen in ALIEN were in the process of being transported towards the acual planet in the PROMETHEUS movie, rather than 'Earth'...as they were just another species that were intended to be added to the Space-Jockey's 'ampule' urn 'armory' at the time, until something went wrong wrong for the 'pilot' who had to ditch nearby on a seperate planet... And the 'warning' signal that went out was purely for the benefit of other 'Space Jockeys'![/i]) 8. I reckon 'Vickers' turns out to be an 'android', just as 'David' is... 9. I reckon a now elderly 'Wayland' and personal 'security guards' are onboard...but this is initially kept from the majority of the 'Prometheus' crew... 10. I reckon the giant 'head' is more than just a static, unmoving object...and may move to reveal somewhere hidden... 11. I reckon that the 'infected' crewmember that mutates will NOT turn into the BIG BALD FELLA... I2. I reckon that this movie's events occur on a totally DIFFERENT planet compared to the one the 'Nostromo' investigates in ALIEN... 13. I reckon that Shaw's 'squid' will grow/change into something much larger and truly terrifying... 14. I reckon that if there ISN'T something much larger and truly terrifying compared to Shaw's 'squid' and the BIG BALD FELLA...then I'll be disappointed.... 15. I reckon this movie will NOT neatly tie up all the events exactly leading up to the 'space jockey' suit that's found 'chestbursted' in ALIEN...and that there'll be a few new mysterious questions by the end of this movie...but that they could all be answered in the SEQUEL! Okay, that's my thoughts on this, so I'll be interested in yours... :)

I am instinctively certain and have no shadow of doubt in my mind whatsoever, that you are quite terribly and terrifyingly wrong in every single thing. I don't believe I need to see your list of Terrible Wrongness to know that, so you may choose to save your time - or put it to use for greater reward.

#1- If the SJ suite opens up and anything resembling a human being or android comes out of it, anything less than a terrifying hideous monster like no human being could ever conceive or look like...I am walking out !!! #2- If the ship on LV-426 turns out to be any ship other than the Derelict from Alien, I am walking out and giving up on Ridley Scott. #3-If the creature which we clearly see infecting crew members is not related in some small way at the least to the XENOMORPH in Alien I am going to commit suicide. Disclaimer: The truth is I believe completely in Ridley Scott and am so excited that whatever he decided to do I will be fine with...My answer is Who cares, what does it matter, whatever he does will be Perfect I am sure!!! and I love the man so much as I do Giger that I will accept whatever they did as GOLD !!! Opinions as we all know are like a-holes...we all have one...and they mean shit.

Okay, I've now added in all my thoughts to my original post...and will be interested to see how many I got right or wrong come the time. I promise not to 'edit' my points in any way, lol. And as I'm from the U.K. I'll get to see the movie a few days before many of you...but I also promise to not give any 'spoilers' away come the time.

Cervantes, I apologize on behalf of all face slapping/fish stealing members who hijacked your thread. It was a great attempt and I for one appreciate it's intent. I just don't have any strong opinions to share.

@ db - glad you liked the intent, even if you don't seem to have come to any strong conclusions of your own. Not even one?... I remember quite a few around here DID though...so I thought they might like to list the particular ones they believed/or wished for, in one place for future reference.
