SCI-FI influences in Prometheus

If anything we should see the obviouse Gieger stuff pluss a lot Jean Giraud. AKA Moebius pluss like i said beffore Shaklespeare, and ofcourse greek/and or other antient mythology. Im 37 years old and im pretty sure r.s droped the comics about the same time i picked them up and frankly manga hasnt contibuted jack and or sh*it to any good western films since maybe satr wars and i dont think its gona happen anytime soon. If you mention any film based an a line of games and or toys., i will not respond.

dont forget R.S. was directing dune before he quit due to a death in the familly and lynch took the job. This by the way is why gieger did geidi prime stuff.

didnt say it contributed nothing just ,nothing mutch to "good western film". Didnt say gieger did any better and its just an oppinion man. its mine and mine alone alone. not the end all be all but still mine and i felt inclined to share. btw never said i didnt like manga there is just sooo, soo much of it and you have to really look to find something originall. still looking forward to the live action silent film lone wolf an cub. Not holding breath though. :)

Yeah Giger [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/giger-dune-ii-medium.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/giger_1_large.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/hr_giger_dune_V.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/H_R_GigersAlienPyramidConceptArt.jpg[/img]

I see the point your making and i mostly agree yet the robotech thing is bit week. Although a fan of the Macross saga. It is completelely derivitive from older scifi.Starblazzers ect..

Another influence I see is in the Space Jockey/Engineer race design. They now look a lot like the humanoid alien giants from [b]The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?[/b] sci-fi anime film from 1984...

Cool!

@Twitch: Macross Do You Remember Love is very very different from Robotech/Macross saga. I recommend you watch the anime film, is awesome. The Zentradi in Macross DYRL now are bald and more alien looking, with biomechanoid looking technology that regenerates itself. Fun thing is the creators of Macross said they based their designs in those of Giger! I find the SJ spaceship tech in Prometheus very Zentradi-looking.

<3 DYRL

Lets take it back a bit further, try forbiden planet being a retelling of the tempest. Sorry i find it hard to belive that Ridley sees the macross stuff as being anything other than Jap Crap pulled from heavy m, If hes seen it at all.

srry i didnt mean to sound racist, just not a fan of manga. I love the people just not the crappy art and ....hello kitty

@Twitch: Sorry to hear you don't like manga and anime. You really do not know what you are missing dude. Macross and many other Japanese anime sci-fi series have very impressive designs, even better than those of many western big budget sci-fi films. BTW, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Planeta Bur or Planet of the Storms (1962), a Russian Sci-Fi film directed by Pavel Klushantsev which clearly inspired the spacesuits, hehe.

But do not forget the most obvious influences: Theories of the Ancient Astronauts and the myth of Prometheus: [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/imagesCAB74E35.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/sky-people-Mayan-ruins-Tikal-Guatemala.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/allllliens.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg561/spacejockey1/Heinrich_fueger_1817_prometheus_brings_fire_to_mankind.jpg[/img]

Twitch: Sorry to hear you don't like manga and anime. You really do not know what you are missing dude. Macross and many other Japanese anime sci-fi series have very impressive designs, even better than those of many western big budget sci-fi film. sorry, giant almond eyes and etherial plot lines just arent my thing, although I still love Akira and that has both. There is allot of good stuff in manga i just dont see it as influensing this film. Hell i grew up playing with the bandai robots. Just dont see them as realevant to this story.

@Kronnang WOW! Dunn Planet of the Storm is the best analogy I've seen, and I have not seen that movie, Thanks for post it

That scene from "Planet of the Vampires" in which they find an alien ship, with the big alien skeleton always reminds me the space jockey in his chair.
