Hi All, It has been long time since I have posted..but I have kept up with this forum daily for my Prometheus fix. I very intrigued on Shaw's seeming character transformation in this movie.. seems like she starts out as a doe eyed innocent nieve character and transforms into something that looks like has been through the ringer so many times..you cant help but to think, WOW!. Is she going to kick ASS in this movie or what. I am going to put some picks in order of intensity ( as best as I can) I am not sure of the order of the movie though..what do you all think of Elizabeth Shaw...

She starts out innocent so-to-speak but like anyone who's seen combat, becomes radically changed by sheer horror. I guess post traumatic stress syndrome coupled with whatever physiological changes the SJ DNA imposed.

@jones Well-observed. At that instant, she is actually screaming,"DIE!...".

@jones- I think you are absolutely right on that second to last picture-she does look enraged..I think she is swing that ax that she was holding in the other still I had on her...it seems that way. @sparticus I hope my leap of faith didnt sound like i as being arrogant- nothing of the sort- I appologize if it seemed that way.. Still friends?

Oh dear, I am praying to Zeus and Hera that Shaw does anything but become a kick-ass heroine. No, been there done that. Nothing ruins suspense more than having a character I know is going to survive and become xena warrior queen. Why Alien is suspenseful, Aliens less so. Not that she can't have a great arc, but the innocent becoming warrior one is meh. Dear Zeus, Prometheus, Hera, Cronos et al, please accept my offering and reward my prayer. Make this horror horrific.

Dallas I hear what you are saying, good point, a heroine was ground breaking in 1979 not so much now. I was looking at random stills and I noticed what seemed like a progression of a character (Shaw) that I did not pick up on with the other actors. When I gathered the random stills from different sites and put them in the best order of intensity I noticed it seemed to also follow a progression in the movie as well. Of course I am guessing, just my observation. Having all those pics lined up neatly on my computer got me pumped up (as if I can get any more pumped up for this movie) I thought WOW is there something to this? is she going to kick ass? or is it just coincidence that I isolated Shaw and could have done that with any other character? but I was drawn in by the intensity on her face, the stills the freeze frame moment and I think when it plays out on film it will draw me in and I will be pulling for her to save the day.
