Did they show us too much? (Shaw's

Another confusing (misdirection?) scene is when we see Mohawk Man jumping off the top of that structure onto another crew member. In that scene he is heavily deformed but not in the way the original clip shows that Fifield is very elongated and almost twice his normal height. Its fair to say that scene is right before the "throwing" scene because you can see the same structure on the left. Im assuming in the movie we will see Fifield as a creature, not as "Mohawk Man".

Concerning the throwing guy, assuming it's Fifield, we have that shot of him grabbing that guy and to me it looks like he's buried some kind of pick axe into his back, could it be that he's holding onto the axe as he's throwing the guy and not that he has a long arm? Doesn't explain why it's not there now but still. I must admit I regret witnessing the squid baby, it must be the scene Ridley and Noomi refer to as being the contender to Kane's original birthing scene. I have mentioned this in other posts, but has anyone noticed that you can make out a line of similar pyramids beyond the one they land in front of further down the valley at around 0:14 on the new trailer?

@spodokomodo....either way you look at it, it's bloody daft putting it in the trailer if it's the the money shot Back to the mutant, the take is or camera angle is slightly different, if you look at the still at the bottom the mutant stands to the left of 3 boxes in the background, diff to the gif above. So i think it may just be a lapse in post production. At least I hope it is, I want humans to grow to jockey sized freaks

Is this just another case of the trailer showing "all the good parts" Like with most films u sit in the theater and realize you've already seen all the good scenes in the trailer... Seems to be happening quite alot these days. Ridley seems to have control over all aspects when developing and directing film. He might not of had any say with what would be revealed int the trailers. 'Blacking' out the squid baby on the second trailer just seems like Fox's marketing team made a huge mistake by revealing something of great importance. Leading me to believe that the c-section scene will be in fact the 'money-shot' that Ridley has been hinting at in past interviews :( dissapointed? Yea a little

...but why even put it in the trailers in eth first place....just dont even draw attention to the fact that the scene even exists. Youre right though...even if there is a ton of stuff that we havent seen yet, the fact that I know this scene exists, along with countless other 'teases' - will of course diminish the experience going in 'virgin'. You have to balance it up and whet the appetite of your prospective audience...but way too much being given away cheaply in my opinion

It's a little disappointing that they would inadvertantly reveal too much. On the other hand, it IS an image that has contributed an enormous amount of speculation and interest. Definitely a marketing catch-22. I'm loving that it is in the film, that this happens and they "go there", but also, it would be great if I could erase it from my memory. I think, [i]at this point[/i], I'm now more disappointed in the cobra creature reveal. I would have loved to experience that in the film. And, of course, the most perplexing is the big spaceship crash. Would have been interesting to sit in on that editing meeting. Would love to hear Scott discuss such decisions on the DVD. Even so, with all these reveals, you HAVE to know they are holding stuff back, and probably some amazing, shocking, and remarkable stuff. Perhaps they have so much confidence in that imagery, that they simply feel comfortable knowing they still have aces in their hand.

Maybe the were still experimenting with different looks for that scene, Fifield mutant vs daddy long legs mutant. Looks like they went with Fifield, thinking it made more sense than a rapid transformation into daddy long legs during the scene. With the filmmaking technology available today, they can keep on filming and editing closer to the release date.

I think the squid-birthing scene, or whatever you wanna call it, is not the BIG scene in the movie, but they really want us to think it is. They already had a lot of people convinced this is the big shock scene of the film, and now they are doing a "whoops-spilled the beans" move by blurring out the squid from that scene in the newest trailer trying to convince the rest of the non-believers that it really is the big scene and they messed up by showing it to us in the first place. Ridley and Fox are playing us like The Sims: Movie Nerds. I firmly believe this is a tactic to make us let our guard down after that scene plays out, then Ridley will hit us with the real shocker when we least expect it and the theaters that have brown seats will be glad they did.

Two words: Tentacle violation. The filmmakers have been watching Wicked City and Urotsukidoji ! No wonder Scott says he's embarrassed.

Is this a bit OUT THERE??? ... I was wondering about Shaw's 'closed set' scene ... Would it be because they want to make the scene look as real as possible? ... what I mean is, to make it look totally real, would they goto the extreme of using proper hospital medical staff to produce the SFX? ... would you think they would literally INFLATE her stomach with air on purpose? ... because that don't 'arf look real ... I just thought the shock factor has gotta beat Kane's scene ... somehow ... because it doesn't 'have' to be gory to shock ya ... Probably going too deep into it lol ...

It does make me wonder, if "the scene" was so super-duperdy secret and was filmed on a closed set - WHY PUT IT IN THE TRAILER????

In the hanger scene, I think we are confusing an axe for a forearm. @RickK's first animated gif shows Mutant (Fitfield?) holding axe (stuck in victim's back). His second gif shows no axe, but the rest of the thrower's body is in a position consistent with the first image. The axe has been "deleted". In the MedPod scene, I suspect that the blurring of Squidley has less to do with "spoiler", and trying to put a cat back in the bag, and more to do with attempts to please censors. Good eyes @RickK!

Just realized that I sound alot like @BigDave and @spodokomodo... Good job guys!

We just came to the same conclusion seperately dude, which means we must be right ;). Has anyone else noticed the other pyramids during the landing scene at 0:14? I need to know I'm not seeing things.

Scrub that, just read two threads concerning the other pyramids. I'm not seeing things then. Yay.
