spoilers

Yeah but Ridley would still get many questions that need answers.... If this movie does not give better vague hints, i hope Ridley can in Prometheus 2 cover the Xeno in a vague sence... Maybe via just Mural or Flash Back that Engineers created something before, went a bit wrong, had to get rid of it and out of harms way....... so sent ship with said creation to quarantine it... We already know the answer, and the answer is very simular to that, just some kind of very vague aknowledgement would do....

@Gem]n[ i would to sugest you PM him..... You could gauge if he has seen it or not then........ The biggest question now is does Ridley want this to be considered Canon.... or pretty much go the route of AVP in that its not Canon to Alien as per say.

@ Gem]n[ - Amen!!!

Then after you PM him, spill the lot!!!

[quote]Then after you PM him, spill the lot!!![/quote] I just Pi$$ed myself ... brb ... @Dave ... I'm pretty good at gauging just by reading ;) ...

@ azalard there surely is some one out there that has seen this film and yet no one has shot there load yet lol im the same as you i dont know what to belave due to there being that much fake sh*t floating about! who knows tho he could be genuine just wish he would just let the cat out the bag n give us something we dont know....

I don't know why that was so funny to me after the fact...lol!

Reading the rather abstruse/oblique spoilers, it would appear that Alien is a sort of Prometheus Gaiden of sorts - that the original film is a side story which would allow the universe of Prometheus to take tell its own stories without constantly having to refer to the original xenomorph. In video game terms, Alien is the Majora's Mask to Prometheus's Skyward Sword... Cheers

'' that the original film is a side story which would allow the universe of Prometheus to take tell its own stories''... like when Baywatch spun off Baywatch Hawaii, Baywatch Nights and the engrossing Baywatch:Hawaiian Wedding.

More like david v goliath = Alien and prometheus = bible in terms of scope and range. it looks like they've gone for a large canvas, so as not to be hemmed in by the non stop nitpicking over the most obscure bullshit irrelevant details (like what font the screens have) and other major concerns.

I'm still lost, so Dukes of Hazard vs. Knight Rider = Cannonball Run

Speculation is not a spoiler, and no, this guy did not see the movie.

@ Sundar "... like when Baywatch spun off Baywatch Hawaii, Baywatch Nights and the engrossing Baywatch:Hawaiian Wedding." ... as many folk feel Alien3 onwards was! I used the game metaphor to describe how RS appears to want to spin Alien and what followed into a separate path, so Alien is only tangentially tied to Prometheus. Thus not a "prequel" in the sense "The Thing" 2011 was to JC's "The Thing". I would expect Prometheus to end alluding rather than showing what led to the crash of the ship in Alien. BTW on subject, who's to say those who have seen the film have seen the entire film? There could be a coda that has been removed before the final copies ship to reviewers. This is common practice; indeed even reviewers not seeing the complete finished work to keep something big hidden. Cheers
