From Prometheus to Alien

MemberOvomorphJuly 17, 20121017 Views7 RepliesHello. I have some things to post about the film(s). Some to do with what Prometheus actually reveal..some maybe in a sequel? I appreciate any feedback!
1 - It seems the Engineers are tied into a reproductive system but in a different way to us and the Xenomorph's. There could be 2 different types of Engineers...we see the one at the beginning 'seeding' the planet. This one (Engineer A) has a different ship to the ones who are targeting earth and are shipping cargo to different planets (Engineer 'B'), as seen on LV233. The cycle between the engineers from creating/destroying life could be linked, they could be working together as partners. Maybe they are at war. Maybe something unexpected happened on Earth (us, synthetic beings) and they are simply destroying us or trying to clear their mistake on Earth for their own safety.
2 - Robots/Androids,Synthetics could be tied into our fate, the engineers fate and the 'company' more than we know. So far we have seen Dave, Ash, Bishop as created by humans. Wayland himself was almost being turned into one of these by trying to be immortal and avoid dieing. They don't reproduce them selves like humans/engineers/xenomorphs. Wayland favored these creations over flesh and blood i.e his own daughter Vickers. With not much time left in his life, knowing he would die unless he can find the secret of immortality, he goes on the mission to meet the 'makers', secretly along with the crew of Prometheus. This doesn't mean he has just left his legacy with out a backup plan. His daughter, and himself die on this mission, i think that a 'plan B' was left behind. More robots/androids/synthetics..in his own mold? in Vickers mold? Something else? This fits with the company knowing more information than they let on. We see this throughout the Alien movies.
3 - There is only approximately 30 years difference between the end of Prometheus and when the Nostromo lands on LV426 in the Alien film.
4 - The Derelict Ship found on LV426 could be a lot younger than first expected. This is due to what is revealed in Prometheus and the 'jockey suit'. It could still be as old as 2000 years but still a lot younger than millions of years we were led to believe it was.
5 - Did the Derelict ship that crashed onto LV426 originate from LV233? In my opinion its possible. There was more than one of the 'horse shoe' type (Engineer 'B') ships left on LV233. The Engineer A's could have created life on more than planet other than Earth. So they could have planed to 'break a few eggs' on more than one planet. The Derelict ship wasn't headed to earth when it crashed. It could have been headed to there own home world, or even possibly another planet all together.
6 - The Xenomorph's/face-huggers created by mating affected humans(the goo) and un-affected humans, are always different from others. Its seems the results of any species (following this procedure) produce different results. The worms on LV233 are another case. So the cargo left on the Derelict ship that crashed on LV426 could be the result of another spices that mated (affected & un-affected) and the Eggs with face-huggers in were the result?. Could this species in question have made their own way to LV233 like the humans did? Was this species already there? Could they be the worms (that were on LV233) very own eggs? . Not sure if this is relevant but worms mate by connecting and swapping sperm, both worms have a cocoon (egg?) which gets fertilized and laid.
Ok i had to get all that down on paper, apologies if it is messy or not in the correct order.
Just to summarize my thoughts -
- Engineers -
They could be just part of some cycle of creating, destroying life and we (Earth) are no different from any of the other planets that they treat. When our time comes it comes. i.e we are not special, no plan.
We could be different and they made a mistake creating us. What they expect us to turn out like could be way off what happened on Earth via evolution in the conditions on the planet over time. We could be a major threat to the Engineers which is why they wish to destroy us.
There could be some sort of war going on between the Engineers, and we were created by one side and the other side now needs to destroy us.
Something else.
-The company-
I feel the company will still knowledge prior to and after the events of Prometheus. I think that Robots/Androids and Synthetics that the humans create could be a major driving force behind the company.
Vickers could return, not the human who died. Wayland could return in some form.
So there you go. Oh, i haven't actually SEEN Prometheus yet!! I got the impression that Some fans of Alien were let down when seeing this film. Some not. One thing though, exploring the possibilities of un-answered questions has made some people like the film more after watching it. So i decided to explore the film on paper/net before.
This is an experiment really! I will see the film soon and will be interesting which party i fall into and my initial impressions etc. Really looking forward it too!!
