MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:10 PMOkay everybody. Maybe I'm really dense or something, but who is this 'blue guy' everybody keeps referring to? I've read about him in multiple threads, and every time I see it, my mind keeps conjuring up images of the Blue Man Group.
Is this the the mysterious bald dude next to the SJ chair in all the trailers? If so, he doesn't look very Smurf-colored to me. More like Captain Picard on crack, or Shinzon from ST: Nemesis.
Anybody care to elaborate?

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 3:38 PMok...thanks Dippybird...now I have my characters nicely lined up....those 3 all gonna die tho...you know this ....we don't need a crystal ball for that....lol

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:16 PMI'm not too sure either azalard and I've been lurking on the boards for some time.
I don't really know whether it's him, or the greyish being glimpsed briefly in the the earlier trailer's at the waterfall site. Either way, describing him as blue seems a bit strange as he's always appeared more pallid grey to me.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:27 PMThank you, DippyBird! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's confused.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:30 PMNo worries :)
Everybody has their own way of describing what they see, it's just that it can be confusing as hell sometimes!

MemberDeaconMay-14-2012 12:41 PMI am going to go for this...
That Bald Guy is more a greyish colour than Blue he is only Blue due to the lighting in the Orrey Room.
He is about 9-10ft tall, he is the Engineer and he is the guy who gets into the Space Jockey Suit and Pilots the Juggernaught Ship.
Thus the Space Jockeys and Engineers are the same, just 9ft odd Humaniods who wear Space Suits.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:44 PMThanks BigDave,
that makes MUCH more sense :3
It would be interesting if they were different factions or castes of the same species, the SJ's may be more like the grunts whereas the engineers may be more like the overseer's.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:52 PMI still think it's Captain Picard on crack, and really Prometheus is simply the alternate timeline created after the events of Star Trek 2009.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 12:57 PMThe 'individual' in question almost look very opaque, almost chameleon-like bordering on transparency. When inside the rising 'Chair' chamber he almost 'blends into' the surrounding super-structure. He has a hint of buish-grey/gray opacity to 'Him'. It's almost like you can begin to see through him slightly... Wehter the Space Jockey/Bio-Engineer/converted Human or what hes INTEGARAL to the 'purpose' of the 'Chair' and crittically, an 'individual' that brings to Prometheus I'm sure one of those jraw-dropping moments as Darth Vader DECLARING to Luke Skywalker and indeed THE UNIVERSE: "I AM YOUR FATHER!!!"
I think this 'guy' carries a similar sort of 'revelation weight' upon 'his' shoulders as well!

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 1:16 PMI definitely think that this guy must be the astronaut who traveled and warned each civilization about the experiment happened on that planet. I guess that is why we see this blue guy in every painting along with that elephant face alien and ofcourse the same starmap.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 1:56 PM...it looks like Dr.Manhattan to me...not in the nude for a change.! ..i also think it's this humanoid thing that impregnates Shaw.....or maybe this is the thing she kills or tries to kill when she screams......diiiieee!...in some of the TV spots...u do see her lying on the ground with this thing slowly approaching her...it might also be one of the crew members which has mutated....most likely Hollaway!

DippyBird
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:01 PMGood point Juxtapose, the whole being impregnated thing - likely against her will - would make her want it to die!

Juxtapose
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:13 PM@dippybird
I am also constantly reminded of the fly....her having to kill Hollaway after his transformation ...might be a very tender spot...but she is forced to.... he impregnated her and this thing she gave birth to is on the loose and his become a monster...because he went to far.( he did anything and everything)....so just before killing him she screams....DiEEEE!.....that cry .... it's filled with anguish and terror and also loss..or i may be completely off...lol

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:18 PMNo Juxtapose,
I don't think you're off, I think that's why her voice sounds so manic! Whatever that thing is that's in his eye, it won't be good for her...

MemberDeaconMay-14-2012 2:21 PMWell it apears that this guy is the last of his kind, well in regards to this part of the Galaxy.
We see 4 sarcophagus in the scenes and 3 have what apear to be holes in them, and they are not uniform holes but more like the holes we saw in Kanes Space suits Helmet... i.e burnt through.
We see in the Hologram Room 3-4 Engineers and in the Ghost Scene we see 3 seeming to be running for their lives.
So i am assuming that the one surviving Engineer played a important part in the downfall of their race on that outpost and the creation of the Xeno.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:26 PMthanks dippybird.....i am glad u think that my imagination has not gone totally wild...my ideas about Holloway and Shaw ....it seems so almost obvious from what i have seen from the trailers?...tho trailers can be very deceptive.....it's just how the scenes are ordered and with a story like Prometheus i would not be surprised if fox are trying their best to mislead us....
Wouldn't mind if i am totally wright or wrong tho?

DippyBird
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:33 PMYes, it could be interesting if it turns out he is trying to prevent the spread of the creatures he harbours in the temple and then he tries to kill the crew because they tampered with his methods...
If his creations turned on him, then it could make an interesting parallel if say, David, were to turn on the crew.

MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:35 PMNo worries Juxtapose,
I think having theories and ideas about a film and having different interpretations is all part of the fun :3 Wouldn't you agree?

Juxtapose
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 2:45 PMyip...i definitely agree Dippybird.
I am starting to like Noomi's character more and more just purely based on the trailers.....i have'nt even seen her in any movie yet....but from what I can tell purely from the trailers i think she can pull it off....Charlize is my favorite tho....she must not die....but's she's gonna...i just know!...;/

DippyBird
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 3:01 PMI think all of the characters will be quite well fleshed out (in the constraints of the film), obviously there will be the odd cliche here or there, but I think they'll have an interesting dynamic.
I'm interested to find out more about the other characters, such as Milburn, Fifield and Ford though, they all look interesting!

Juxtapose
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 3:09 PMWhich character is ford?....Milburn and Fifield is the mohawk guy and the geek who tries to play with the worm creature right.....don't ask me which is which...lol....i just know they both die....well actually the mohawk guy seems to return in an mutated state....so it's not really him anymore.....so his already dead IMO!

DippyBird
MemberOvomorphMay-14-2012 3:20 PMFord is the Scotswoman with the blonde pageboy hairstyle, Milburn has the spacespecs and Fifield has the mohawk :3

Thanks for that, I've been waiting for somebody to post a better quality image since my lunch break today!
