With the Next Chapter of Prometheus now confirmed as being on its way, with draft stages now either finished or going through some changes and shooting/production to begin this Fall. And with the movie to be released in March 16th 2016.

 

With the Movie also rumoured to be going for a more Alien-y vibe what are you hopes and concerns for the Franchise? By going more Alien-y as opposed to originally wanting to move further away from Alien does this mean more Xeno infested movie? Maybe not as reference to Alien-y could be the Alien movie and that movie does not mean Xenos, it could be they wish to go back to the Atmosphere of Alien as far as more tense and horror based movie?

 

I wish to use this Topic to discuss potential plot points but also ask what preference you would want as far as in order of what the movie would cover, for some a more Spaights Draft movie would ideal but for others well was we not supposed to be finding out more about the Space Jockey Race (Engineers). So here we go.

 

Which of these Plot points would you want the movie to be more about, list them in order and you don’t have to explain your choices but feel free to do so. You could basically even just say i think preference has to go to 3,5,6,9,11 etc.

 

1)      LV 223 Mission, a rescue or simply a mission to discover the fate of Prometheus. Where by they may uncover many Horrors or even Information missed by Prometheus Mission such as....

2)      What has become of the Ampoule Urns, are they are empty? Does the Goo after it is split over time just dissolves and so poses no Danger to those who enter the flooded Mural Room many years later? Are there more Urns elsewhere in that Temple or are some of the Urns not opened and still contain the Black Goo?

3)      What becomes of the Hammerpedes, how many of them are about as we saw at least 4 of them wriggling in the Goo. Can these Organisms procreate and how do they do so and do they just produce more baby Hammerpedes or something else?

4)      What becomes of the Human/Deacon Hybrid that was born from Shaws Trillobite baby via using the Engineer as Host, does it make changes as it grows? Can it Procreate and how?

5)      What actually lies behind the Deacon Mural? And does anyone manage to find out what this Mural is showing us?

6)      Will anyone find out what the Purpose of the Altar in front of the Mural is for and what about that Green Crystal?

7)      Upon finding the dead Engineers and crew of Prometheus does anyone manage to find out more about what happened and maybe Translate the writings on the Doors etc?

8)      Does anyone stumble upon the crashed Juggernaught the Engineer was in Cryo Sleep in and notice the other Cryo Chambers with Dead Engineers and maybe try and shed some light on their fate?

9)      What becomes of the Cargo the Crashed Juggernaught was carrying, are these Urns intact? If not is the spillage now safe?

10)   What are those other mounds, and if they are other Temples then what horrors do they contain and surely as David said there are many more Engineer Ships so not just a case of having just the two!

11)   Does any other mission sent to LV 223 pick up Shaws SOS and do they heed the Warning? (i doubt it) and would they pick up the LV 426 Signal and investigate that?

12)   Does any mission to LV 223 manage to finally give us more clues or even the Answer to the Xeno, the Mural, the Goo and how they are all connected?

13)   What becomes of LV 223 after the movie, would there be another movie after to explore LV 223 as surely be the time of Alien this place has to have been destroyed or why bother going to LV 426 when this place has more reward!

14)   Does David take Shaw to Paradise? Does he instead have his own Agenda to maybe explore the LV 426 Signal or even go back and wait on LV 223 for the Cavalry to arrive? Does he want to work with them and the company or does he have a surprise up his sleeve?

15)   Does David indeed take Shaw to Paradise, and what are Davids intentions? Does he want the same Answers that Shaw wants or does he have his own Agenda as Priority and have a Surprise in store for Mankinds creators? And unleashes untold Horrors upon them?

16)   What is left of Paradise is it abandoned? Is it in ruin? Shows signs of a War?

17)   What is left of the Engineer Civilisation, do we find some survivors and how to they react to David and Shaw, will they give her the Answers she wants?

18)   Will we be shown or told why the Engineers created us and why they visited us over the years and what kinds of things did they teach us and how further did they Evolve us over time?

19)   Does this place contain any answers to the goings on LV 223, do they share the same Bio Tech or give us a explanation on how and when they came to possess or create such Technology?

20)   Does this place contain the answers to why they wanted mankind destroyed or even some other kind of Wars they was involved in and ultimately what they intended to use and do in order to wipe out any threat to them.

21)   Does this place lead us to the Clues to what connection the Xeno has with the Engineers and LV 223? Or does this place have any related Organisms there?

22)   What of the Elders, will we see them? And who created them or the Engineers and will we see the Creator or created them or is there no higher creator of the Engineers? Would any such event explain why the Space Jockey was larger?

23)   What becomes of any Engineers/Elders or there creators after they have come across David and Shaw, what would there response be to them and the knowledge of Mankind.

24)   Did they give the order to destroy us, and if so why? Or was they not aware of such a order or even our creation?

25)   What other Places have these Engineers seeded, are we the only successful experiment to produce intelligent life in their image?

26)   After the encounter with Paradise and what ever if anything David and Shaw find, what next for these two? Do they go back to LV 223 or Earth or do they stay or even is there other places they can now go and explore?

27)   Does any more information from an event on LV 223, discovery of the LV 426 signal or even what is found on Paradise show us the fate of the Space Jockey?

28)   Do we get to find out what state and in whos hands Weyland Company is in, does Yutani gain any advantage and ultimately do we get shown or given clues as to why Weyland and Yutani had merged by the time of Alien?

29)   We know we will see many more David 8’s but what role will they play and would they carry out the orders of the Company or will they show signs of rebellion like David did and if so what are the consequences.

30)   What time frame of events occurs that lead from the beginning of 2094 to what ever events end with Paradise and how long of a gap between them events and when the Company decides to send the Nostromo and a mission to collect a Specimen unknown to the crew of they actual reason they was sent to LV 426 and depending on how long this period of time is, why wait so long?

What's about this theory: the engineers couldn't procreate and that is why they created us/ a new engineers via black too. What if they wanted to create them again throughout evolution on Earth. New them with ability to procreate. They visited us in past to reinforce the right way of our evolution so we would become them.  Maybe they altered their genome so many time that their lost the ability to procreate. Maybe sacrificing the engineer was the only way how to start their race from beginning and with all of the benefits for survival: procreation. If you look at us we now very well how to procreate ☺

 

I have a pretty good idea of where it is. It's just down there, in the basement....

Both of them ideas could be true, its as i have touched upon many times on here with regards to the Engineers and how they have not come back to Earth or LV 223.

These are the most Logical Explanations.

1) The Homeworld Engineers/Elders have suffered some disaster maybe at there own hands or by the hands of a rogue element and there is little left of their culture... it would be bad to assume there are none as that would mean aside from Flash Backs and Hollogram recordings this movie franchise would now show us there are no Engineers?  How would Shaw get her answers... yes  maybe by clues left  that are written down or in the form of Monuments and Murals etc. That David would translate to Shaw.

But surely they must uncover at least a handful of Engineers/Elders but why have they not bothered with us.

2) As above but taking it futher, if indeed there is little left of the Engineers they may have deemed us as not worth the trouble to wipe out no more as the failed attempts proved too costly for their race.  They will instead just leave us to rot on Earth and put it down to a failed experiment.  Thinking there would be no way that Mankind without the Engineers help would ever be able to leave Earth and pose a threat...

But this would surely change once a Human and a Created Android turn up at their Doorstep.

3) The Engineers/Elders on Paradise simply do not know about the creation of Mankind and the creation and then destruction of our kind was done by a faction or creation of the Elders who stole their Technology to create life for themselves.

But if these Engineers/Elders are not aware of us, then a lot would depend on how they would perceive us once the cat was out of the bag.... even if they do not get the impression we are a threat or abomination... Surely they would want to come and visit us out of curiosity.

Ultimately i would say the lose end to Alien Universe would be tied up, because what ever Shaw and David find... David will destroy....

As Ridley said David is bringing Hell with him...

Well we dont know for sure yet what the Engineers or Elders are truely like as we have seen no Females, but that does not mean to say that there is none...

It could be that they have Engineered themselves to a extent that Procreation between a Male and Female is no longer needed... We have to ask why did they create us?

Well the start of Prometheus does not show the creation of Mankind, it shows what seems to be the kick start of Evolution the Catalyst and missing ingrediant to Evolve basic life forms into more complex ones.

This Catalyst is the seeding of the Engineers DNA with the use of the Goo in the Sacrifical Bowl.

This is a long winded way to produce a Human, surely the Engineers are so advanced that there are other ways to be able to produce a creation in their own image.  If they needed to create a life form that is like them that can procreate well the Sacrificial Scene is a long way around doing something and especially if the purpse of our creation is so they can procreate.

We also may have to tie in the movie with Gods..... some cultures have Multiple Gods (Polytheism) and in many of these there are Female Gods, and these Gods also interbred with Mankind.

Then we have the One God (Monotheism) and we have to remember in such cases we have a lower rang of beings such as Angels and these appear to be all Male and the only way they can procreate is by interbreeding with Female Humans.... these Angels were created and not created in the manner of procreation.

If we look back at Adam (First Man) in connection with Sumerian Myth, he could not procreate untill he was genetically modified to do so he gains a Extra chromosome as before that he could not nor Eve as they was Hybrids created from the Gods.

If we look at other Hybrids if we look at Mules which are a off spring of a Horse and Donkey a Male Mule and Female Mule can not procreate.

I think this is what we have with our Engineers, they are created as Mankind was by them, by some other being (Elders) maybe our Engineers are created for the same purpose that Weyland created David 8.

So Engineers are Hybrid and can not procreate and maybe they also appear as one Sex, just as Angels, but Angels can procreate with Humans to produce Giants. 

We dont know if Engineers are Male and thus if all Male they can not procreate there kind, but we cant rule out if they can not procreate with Human Females. We just dont know what route to procreation the Engineers have.

I would assume they naturally have no Females and can not procreate in the normal way, well Engineers can not give birth... maybe thats why they have a facination with the Xeno or its Ancestor as this was a way that Engineers itself can give birth to new Life.
