MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 12:40 AMwow people i just had a very interesting thought...what if the Engineers are Not the ones in charge, what if the Creature{s} Created the Space Jockeys & Mankind !!! That thing looks like it's body when full grown may be about 15 feet or so taller than the Jockeys! I know it is really unlikely but I soooooooooo like this idea !!! IT would take everyone by surprise!!!

AdminEngineerMay-21-2012 1:48 AMI think these Engineers may have been trying to contain this creature for centuries and mistakenly one of the crew unleash it. Then the crew and Engineers alike are forced to fight for their lives against this Alien.
Dare I say it, perhaps the Alien we see "morphing" on the wall is an attempt to stop this new breed of Alien? There 'could' be 4 different types of Alien in this! I think the use of the Alien from "ALIEN" as a weapon by the Engineers is a fantastic theory - one that could be rehashed for Prometheus for sure. I just updated our Aliens in prometheus article recently about some of these theories. In brief mind you.
But wouldn't it be fascinating if the Engineers summon the "ALIEN" (from Alien) to defend against this new, parasitic breed? OR perhaps they summon the ALIEN (though not what we're used to) and then the parasite it is sent to attack somehow mixes with the defender Alien and creates the new Alien which we know today.
So many theories your mind could go nuts thinking of them all. *All great ideas for a Prometheus sequel mind you. I have faith the Aliens we see in prometheus will do their job in scaring the living sh*t out of us. No doubt.
PS. Great addition of the GIF Mentos, cheers to AvPGalaxy for the image! It's crisp and clear, love it.

MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 7:02 AM[b]@BugHunter[/b] Glad you like it!
I think that is definitely a possibility. When Ridley has talked about the egg cargo in the derelict on LV426 (as part of the special features on the 2003 Quadrilogy release) he's always referred to the Biomechanoids as weapons.
I personally. however, have another theory. (Bear with me on this one!)
I know the [b]#areyouseeingthis[/b] plot report has been beaten to death and accepted as fake across the board, but it does contain one very interesting segment.
In summary; the Engineer's are androids created by higher beings that looked down upon them, and after a battle with these higher beings there are only a few engineers left. Then with the content of the ampules, the engineers attempted to create their own version of these higher beings that they can now look down on (role reversal). Experimentation goes pear shaped, and three of the four engineer's get impregnated with something that then kills them.

Look closely on this image, and you'll notice the holes burst in each sarcophagus, but one.

I think this is a monument to the being(s) that once ruled over the engineers.

And I think this is what the engineers created, (notice the scar on the engineers chest, and the engineers pose, the creature is almost bowing down to him.)
Anyway, sounds crazy, but that's my take!

MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 8:50 AM[b]@Shambhala[/b] Haha, I can hear the mob arriving already! But honestly, it makes some sense in the context of what we've seen right? However you slice it, something killed the other Engineers off...

shambs
MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 9:19 AMYes,the War is possible (maybe they are just androids or demigods) and maybe the last Engineers were killed by their own creations.

That pretty much was the tale behind one of the suposed screener reviews, the one released by areyouseeingthis on that AVP Galaxy site.
@Spartacus
You have figured the plot out..... yes thats it, no way can Shaws Squid grow to that monster in next to no time.
Look at that scene and you can see smoke..... see it...
What happens is the Smoke comming from the ground in the one scene is the lost Smoke Monster which is also really what The Myst was...
Thus this movie will tie in Lost and the Myst together....
Good work ;)

MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 9:40 AMThe engineer wrestling with Henry the Octopus in the gif does not show any ''burn'' damage to the head compared to the engineer shoving Shaw.

MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 1:05 PMI'm going for this Engineer being Holloway. IMO this is because:
1. He doesn't seem big enough to be an Engineer. I'd guess it's Holloway nearing the end of his change and he's trying to protect Shaw from the giant squid baby. If you closely it seems to have legs - can't wait to see the hole thing.
2. From the cast list (unless it's fake) we know their to be just one Engineer, who is flying the Juganaut?? Unless someone or thing else does, or it is on auto pilot. Also the Prometheus looks to be destroyed.... tending me to think there is two ships.
I have given up now though as I can't see anyone being able to guess what is happening in this movie. I will be seeing this for my self in 11 days :)

MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 1:16 PMAs much as I don't like them pulling more and more TMI's with each new trailer or commercial, at the same time it makes me more anxious to see the movie. If you look closely you can see the Blue Guy getting attacked by a bunch of tentacles.....Cuddles? My how you've grown.....though it's no surprise.
So, the TV spot (I used to call them commercials) pretty much confirms that the sapient humanoids we recognized as the Space Jockeys.....[i]are[/i] the Engineers. That's what some have speculated a while back here on the forums, but this TV spot pretty much etches it in stone.
So who are the gods? Well, supposedly, we are the gods, as Mr. Weyland proclaimed in that TED video. Pfft. Some gods we are if we are standing before our creators.

Akira. Cool. Except what we see in the TV spot isn't some ginormous blob.

gameover man
MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 3:51 PMsomething tells me that if we could pan right in this scene, this thing would already be chewing on his legs...gonna be a nasty scene
kurt
MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 7:37 PMI didn't think about that gameover man but you're right, looks like he's pulled in then rotates outward. Could be a bite. Yuck!
kurt
MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 7:41 PMI just hope Shaw's baby (or whatever that thing is) is way cooler looking than just a giant alien squid. Tentacled aliens/monsters have been done to death.

Mostly
MemberOvomorphMay-21-2012 10:56 PMThe creature looks to have two legs on our left hand side, that would indicate that it is huge, just a monster of a size. So who comes off the ship? The SJ/Blue guy or the big baby tentacle?

These look similar to the tentacle creature. (Giger Concepts)

MemberOvomorphMay-24-2012 9:06 AMlol WRONG.
she's still in the space suit, why would she have it removed, then get back in the suit???
doesn't make sense.
