Strange post-production edits; SJ Sacrificial cups changed to green crystals.

@Facebugger Another ancestor of the xenos!

wow, that's interesting! Great find. I'm going to look for more stuff like that when I go see it again! Thanks Svanya!

Probably just a last minute scene cutting by the guys in the chopping room. I'm sure you'll see all this on the extra extended special titanium bluray collectables edition :0

that is ... freaky was it in exactly the same location? or is this just a 'visual trick' of framing?

Yeah, that leads us to the conclusion, that FOX wants to mix up alien universe with superman, thats why lindelof had to accept this ugly green stone of cryptonite in his damn screenplay... So superman will come and kick the engineers there where never the sun shines...

Strange. Nice find svanya.

Svanya, I have a good one for you (many have probably already noticed this from multiple trailers) See the mercenary shooting with Weyland behind him in one of the trailers, while in the actual theatrical release, he was shooting at Fifield and Weyland was nowhere around.

It's a different bowl, Svanya. It's larger, too. The sacrificial engineer's had a top which he removed, it was smaller, more compact, and the goo was speckled with a gold substance that gleamed and coruscated.

it's not larger, but in his big hands it looked small. i guess the top goes on when moving it

right, I noticed that strange cut, too.. I just hope for a better, very special SCOTT FINAL CUT..

@Kane77 never fear sir, we'll get a 20 minute extended cut with the Blu-Ray release as well as extra commentary and further deleted scenes. There's a few posts and a news link about it on the site! Also, good finds! I hadn't remembered the bowl. Kinda reaffirms my conclusion that the chamber is NOT a lab, but is in fact a Chapel or shelter instead.

WOW, i never thought of this, I hope this can leads to what we can expect from the extended version and also the deleted scenes.................

The movie had many differences (even trailers had differences), some very large like [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/2352]this one[/url] I mentioned back in March. I understand there are changes in post-production, but this scene (along with [url=http://i49.servimg.comhttps://www.scified.com/u/f49/17/19/14/78/fiefie11.jpg]these pages[/url] from the "Prometheus: Art of the Film" book on the Fifield monster) really show dramatic differences that would have altered the story.

@Svanya @Membrane Good find! In my theory, Engineers are originaly us + Black Goo. The sacrificial cup could be a ritual attribute to be used by humans inorder to become Engineers, thereby explaining the long arms,legs. power of the mutant human in your gif. The chamber = 'a production room' imo. Why they changed some of this in post-production is intriguing because it if they didn't changed it, (especially the mutant face) it would verify my interpretation to a larger extent.

Maybe someone could shed some light on where animal/insect DNA is supposed to have come from if the engineers DNA is the same as human.

Maybe its one of these: [img]http://www.heyepiphora.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/astrovibe.jpg[/img]

@interloper - The DNA is not completly the same but very close to. You have to remember that the engineers created all life on Earth and that the DNA has changed because of mutations. That's why we don't look exactly like the engineers but we are close.

B- B -B- But animal/insect life was here before us.

green crystal is symbolizing proto-xeno head bursting through chest I guess?

I don't thing anyone suggested the Engineers were responsible for all life did they? Just human...

@Goober, The Sacrifice Engineer was disintegrated and fell into water and water is not the a normal habitat for human.

anyone else remember in one of the trailers someone dipping their arm into one of the ampules?

ShinobiX9X : You could be right about the hands. I hadn't thought about that. Let's assume that's so. Then both are the same size, and Svanya's right. Thanks for pointing that out.

@BigDave; Nice example of a crossover!

ROFL ROFL ROFL

the whole idea of genetic rewriting is this is pretty prominent... what if there were different 'black fluids' for different creature types. a photo resembling the alien lies at the back of the room, what if the fluids all are engineered evolutions... just needs a kickstart ingredient( alien body on earth for humans, worms in mural room for wierd first edition alien[see acid blood], chicks womb[for more modern yet still prehisoric facehugger]) for genetic material. with the end result being preprogrammed( the alien creature, or the human race, etc) its also possible that different rooms on the ship were for different creatures, like around the sleeping engineer might have been their engineered genetic fluid. this whole movie seems to be tying super advanced scientific theory with storys found in myths... see sumerian post on this sight [img]http://i46.tinypic.com/2zfqpzs.png[/img]

@Jesperjoten I too believe the room is a ceremonial chamber. I'm going to check out your other posts to see what you have to say about it. :)

It's about the color [b]green[/b], [b]green[/b] represents LIFE, the black goo in the room creates and destroys LIFE, that's all that was meant to be the significance of the [b]green[/b] stone. They changed it from the cup or "the thing the Engineer in the beginning drinks from to create "LIFE", to the [b]GREEN[/b] stone that represents [b]GREEN[/b] or everything related to L I F E . They thought people would get the hint better but clearly not!!!!!! [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green]The Color Green Link 1[/url] - [b]Culturally, green has broad and sometimes contradictory meanings. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, it is associated with death, sickness, envy, or the devil, [u][i]or both[/i][/u], depending on the context.[/b] - The word green is closely related to the Old English verb growan, "to grow". [url=http://www.sensationalcolor.com/color-messages-meanings/color-meaning-symbolism-psychology/all-about-the-color-green.html]The Color Green Link 2[/url] - In several religions, green is the color associated with resurrection and regeneration. - In Japan, green is regarded as the color of eternal life. - The God of [b]fertility[/b] (the natural capability of producing offsprings.) in Celtic myths was associated with green. - Green thumb (US) or Green fingers (UK): an unusual ability to make plants grow.

"...It's about the color green, green represents LIFE.." As I recall there was very little color on nhe moon's surface,,other than a brownosh..reddish dirt.. So any other color found would have stood out..Green is a perfect choice for attention and perhaps,,shows insight into what the Engineers value in home world ..
