Jesus was an Engineer

And thus the idea is not logical to the story. I doubt Ridley Scott would fare that route...it was a teasing comment not related to the plot at all. This would only create controversy undesired by them for sure (Fox would cut him out before going that route) and it would be really illogical being the Engineers we see so far really kind of freaky and cruel...the weapons they employ, the way they even seed planets (IF that is what we saw...my ideas are straying from that further and further whenever I see the opening from the movie) are really barbaric to an extent... Predators would be far more benevolent than these engineers portrayed so far...

Uhmmm, not soo much. I don't see the "likeness"

Nope. Doesn't really work at all that one sorry to say.................

Sorry but total NO. . .

Try to be funny ... fail :)

LOL well at least you admit it :-P Good try though, maybe find another picture to use? :-D

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I wish I was funny I wish I was funny I wish I was funny I wish I was funny ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, song ends.

LOL... I felt bad for the old lady who painted that picture.

@Leeta Was she senile? Was some dementia involved? What would possess someone to do that??

Do you think Ridley was serious when he told jesus was an engineer (or send by them) and this would be the reason why Engineers wanted to destroy humankind 2000 years ago ? And if so, would he really spoil the story that way ? That's sound so cliché...

>>Was she senile? Was some dementia involved? What would possess someone to do that?? In Spain, this church wanted to restore an old painting they had of Jesus. They were going to get it professionally done but she decided to take the picture and restore it herself. I'm not sure what she could of been thinking... XD

lol. this thread is amazing! It reads like a first date. I think its pretty clear ridley and co. toyed with the notion and then left it on the drawing board (i believe ridley said that it was too on the nose...or something to that effect) Personally, i hope they leave that aspect of the story loose and unexplored. Indeed, it would be on the nose/trite if they ultimately made the space jesus connection explicit.

lol granolaboy, they have no sense of humor is all :P

Has he said so (Ridley Scott) ? Really? I am not a fan of him so much as to take heed of all e says. He is a good director and knows how to ride some lucky things as all the commotion over a "scenery tool" from Alien, but that is that. We should filter whatever comes. Chances are that his "boys" are scouting fans and such to really know where to guide his sequel. And I hope he gears it toward something original, as some things posted aroud are silly, or cliche, or really not interesting...

huh?

I mean, Jesus as an astronaut, humanoid aliens playing with dangerous tech, humanoid aliens trying to destroy us... Nothing of those are original concepts, not by far... The Zentraedi concept from MACROSS and the fallen Protoculture, and the way the Zentraedi ended up after their creators/masters were gone...those are way more original than what some of the ideas on Prometheus are faring...and on MACROSS the Protoculture created Earth humans as well ^^

Void, My understanding of the whole Robotech thing)Macross, Southern Cross, & Invid Invasion/New Generation) was that Protoculture was an Invid creation, had nothing to do with humans? Off topic, but I'm a big robotech fan, I have the Protoculture collection dvd set. As far as Ridley goes and original ideas....there are really no "original" ideas/stories to tell. I think the basic story lines were all covered by the Greeks & Romans.

I dont think Ridley would touch upon that we crucified Jesus mainly well thats gonna up set Christians who some Fanatical ones would react just as some Muslims had to that really poor Innocence of Islam movie... Yep to imply the Engineers wanted us dead because we killed on of them (Jesus) would be blasphemous, in particular because that action of Christs Crucifixion was seen as a Sacrifice of Jesus to save Mankind. But Ridley mentioned it to broadly mean that the Engineers created us, then we started to not worship them as Gods as the Engineers intended and we also started to break the rules (10 Commandments) and disobey and offend the Engineers. The Engineers then sent down various emissaries they could be Hybrids to relay messages from the Engineers/Gods in a attempt to get mankind to change its ways and worship and behave in a manner that pleases the Engineers. But we did not change and we even went as far as to kill these emissaries.

I do not think that is the way things will fare, BigDave...not align to what we perceive from Alien universe...and these emissaries...well, after 2000 years someone would have come back to assert the punitive action. No, I think we will discover those at that moon are not aligned with their main culture, and possibly are terrorists of some kind... A bit off topic, but answering the comment over MACROSS and Robotech...please do not mix those two... Robotech is a frankenstein creation mixing different stories with characters/designs from MACROSS and altering the whole story to please US audience, whereas MACROSS is a very deep and cohese story already 30 years ongoing, with very sound science fiction ideas and development. The Zentraedi (Zentradi) where a creation of the Protoculture, the first Galactic Culture to dominate the Milky Way, and seeded many worlds (including Earth) The Zentraedi were created specifically to protect/enforce their law, and were dsigned to specifically never interact with the protoculture civilians to avoid possible rebellion, being created using Protoculture genes and enhancing them both in size and strenght, as well as creating different models (Soldiers, Counselors and Leaders). The Protoculture fell to a terrible enemy created while they were experiencing with better Zentradi models by acessing extra-dimensional energy calling them ProtoDevilns, who ended being used by extra-dimensional life-forms traped in our universe due the Protoculture experience, thus creating the Supervision Army, and that conflict destroyed most of the Protoculture, while leaving the Zentradi and their WarLords without control, locked in a million years battle against the Supervision Army untill one of the thousands of independent fleets meets Earth (a seeded planet from the ancient Protoculture) after following a Supervsion Army vessel that fell on Earth (the Macross ship) as their prime directive was to follow and destroy any Supervsion Army they encounter. Such was even imprinted on their phisique as we see further in the series sequels what contact or even the mentioning of Protodevilns ceate to any Zentraedi. Sorry for the off topic post here but MACROSS is my most beloved science fiction series (a sequel will comemorate its 30th anniversary soon) and Robotech really bothers me as an ugly cheap version not even really following MACROSS but just using its aesthetics...and altering the really well thought Protoculture concept into a cheap energon-like thing...I never understood that...cheap and shallow...
