BioShock
MemberOvomorphJun-12-2012 7:47 PMI am not trying to over think anything here but the face statue room left us with something I have been pondering.
You enter through a massive door only opened by the correct finger presses only to walk through hundreds of urns to confront a massive statue. How many visitors other than an android would be able to read or decipher what code was needed to open this door. A mural is above depicting what can only be taken as an engineer hovering or standing over a dog faced creature hunched over.
You keep on walking behind the head statue to see, only briefly in the movie, a picture of a xeno. In front of this xeno is a rock table with a green crystal superimposed into it.
This green crystal has something of value or significance for future films IMO.
Why???
Green Goo was found on one of the opening devices in the cave tunnel david opened.
You now have Green Goo and Green Crystal and interestingly enough the green goo looked like Xeno saliva only it wasn't clear from previous movies. David spread it between his fingers and it shared many common characteristics xeno saliva has. Also, the green goo between davids fingers seemed elctrically charged.
Enough about the xeno for now but what significance does this green crystal have and why a xeno picture behind it.
IMO, the engineers worship whatever xeno was depicted in that room which is likely why they had it at the end of the room and perhaps the green rock represents what planet or element it comes from.
In any event, something other than the Prometheus crew and Engineers have been there. What else rocks a green goo with them wherever they go.
Also, Could this green crystal be a valuable resource or form of power.
Thoughs??

MemberOvomorphJun-12-2012 7:50 PMGiven its' physical context in that temple, he green crystal might be a vitally important clue.........or it could be a red herring. The important thing, is that inspired your mind to begin creating a speculative tableau around it.

MemberOvomorphJun-12-2012 7:52 PMThe green crystal is kryptonite, and we should expect a tie in with Superman very soon. Maybe the engineers are the inhabitants of planet Krypton.
After all we've already seen Superman vs Aliens and Superman vs Predator.
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born.
Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

MemberOvomorphJun-12-2012 8:12 PMDon't forget that when David sniffs the green goo, he says "Impressive".
And of course we're not told why. It's another teaser.
I thougth the "cistene chapel" type mural showed three things. A humanoid with a hand slightly outstretched. towards something that from the chest down looks human, but the arm is transformed and the head looks more like an Egg or something is over it.
Is this the creation of the Xenomorph?
I also think that the black mural showing the xenomorph is on a door, and the back of that door is the corridor with all the dead SJ's piled up. (seems to be the same shape and size. doorway )
The green thing may well be whats keeping everything dormant. The head is perfectly preserved, the worms didn't eat it nor any germs.

MemberOvomorphJun-12-2012 9:31 PM@ NoXWord, may I add that the engineer's are the progeny of Lex Luther ? Take care.

MemberOvomorphJun-13-2012 7:03 AMRidley is smart, he left the best clue of all..The android watching Lawrence of Arabia, a good movie that makes sense! Ridley's little nod to the viewers that he knows the Prometheus script is terrible and that he is sorry.
