Deacon in Paradise

The Thing is this... Ridley wants to avoid the Xeno, it has been done to death in Prometheus we just saw a redesign of the Xeno and Face Hugger in the Trilobite Squid and Deacon. If he wants to further himself away from the Xeno, then going the route of the Deacon is not the answer and especially if he wants the movie to be set in same universe and cannon to Alien as opposed to how AVP is not. The Engineers, and why they created us, who created them, what else have they created and why they wanted us dead is a much more interesting new story to go visit as opposed to just do a franchise about a Evolution of the Xeno Bio Weapon.

I doubt the Deacon will become the Queen. We see the Deacon in the Mural, and it really looks nothing like what the queen evolves into ( heads close but body is way off in size/proportion). I have a feeling that the deacon is it's own offshoot of the Xeno, and its stuck there on 223. I do think that there was a specific design for the Deacon and that one will pop up in the next film, but I doubt that it will be the one on 223. The Mural in the room with the head shows that the Engineers are fully aware of what happens when one of them is host to a Xeno. and I think that will play a greater role when Shaw and David find out why humans were created, and what is the fate of the Engineers, as it seems the only ones left alive were stuck in "sleep". I like the idea that there is a lone Deacon on 223, it adds to the horror of "well ...someones going to bungle along on to this planet too eventually, and all hell will break loose"

i hope they find a way to tie it into the story well. it has to make sense, cant jus pop outta nowhere. ohhhhh, if anything, i say it got on the ship with shaw and david(unlikely) or the possible investigative crew on lv 223 then when they meet up with shaw and david and go to the engineer home world, the three species star battling(because of mysterious deaths that we know were the deacon being a scary monster,) and for the heck of it, wat if a lucky engineer got away in the juggernaut brought by shaw and david, but that doesnt explain the eggs in alien, oh well, i jus hope they make a sequel cuz im dying to find out wat the heck happens!!

[quote]Deacon after it exposed to black goo![/quote] Oh my god...I think this might be it. In Paradise, the Deacon wonders around the temple, exposes itself with the black goo, and turns into the xenomoph that we see in Alien/Aliens.

"..Deacon after it exposed to black goo!.." After recent viewing of the final scenes in Prometheus several questions came to mind. I thought because goo was part of the Holloway/Shaw/Alien/Deacon connection that goo had already done it's magic. Like a vaccine a second dose may not work. In our movie no alien creatures are actually killed. The infections in Fifield and Holloway were killed but in the context of the alien being a function being. Now with the Deacon emerging at the end are there any enemies that would even try to kill this new being? From what we have seen nobody is left. So here we have an almost perfect being, The Deacon, with no know predators, stuck on a moon with no living organisms to take over and make more Deacons? I don't believe it and that should be the focus of P2. Also as Shaw is saying she is still searching as she is leaving this moon is there anyway she might turn around and discover the deacon? I mean what if David has sort of kept tabs on the happennings in the wrecked Juggernaut could he influence the retrun trip to the Domes? The Deacon's appearence is too dramitic to be overlooked. As has been suggested maybe this the start of the xeno line that eventually appears in Alien. Then Shaw/David Paradise adventure is a new storyline in the Alien Universe,,,but not a direct prequeal to the 1079 movie.
