Scified veterans (Prometheus)

Happy Days!

Hi Noob!

I remember when you changed your name Noob! Who here remembers when I went by "Bug Hunter"? Hahaha ;) 

I remember Chris and Gavin was Snorklebottom....ah the nostalgia! :)

Hey Noob and N4 great to see you guys! XX

Yep who would've thought that a website could give you so many lovely memories? I was n7 among a few others previously but I don't think anyone remembers me (or should lol) 

Apart from the veterans here I remember NCC 1701 (beer profile pic) who had that impressive Enterprise model project going on, PUNX who often started a conversation with "Oi oil oi", Franz, Cypher, tank girl, PUNX, Sky, Neurion, Major Noob and many more although I've forgotten some. 

Who was the girl who baked those delicious Alien/prometheus cakes and shared her work back then?

And that user who used caps...."PROMETHEUS IS ZIBILLION TIMES BETTER THAN ALIEN!!!!!!" He wrote once. 

All those memories... :) 

Hey Neomorph :)

Major Noob is now Aorta! NCC still pops by, it was Belladonna who baked the cakes and biscuits, but she was eventually banned.

Do you remember Patch? His posts were so funny and his profile pics too. He would post 'word jazz' [as he came to call them] sessions on the SB. Kept us all well entertained!

Hey Lone! 

Belladonna it was!! Woah there she got banned!?

.......

I remember her being really nice, did she start making phallic-shaped cakes or something? 

Patch yeah I do remember that name! But I need read his old posts again to remember his style/writing pattern more. 

One user who really, I mean really remind me of one current user here in terms of activity-level was David 8.

Do you remember him? Flaming rock 'n' roll hand gesture. He frequently used trademark-comments such as "trollollol" and probably stood for 20% of all the posting activity on the prometheus-movie forum back in 2012. Then he got warned for accusing the Mods of "targeting him" openly in discussions and disappeared shortly after.

Not to accuse others of anything (it's not my concern really), I remember myself letting my disappointment getting the better of me one time in 2012 as I engaged in a keyboard battle against the opposing Prometheans. Svanya, being super professional like she always was, stepped in and said (and I quote) "can't we all just get along" lol XD 

Those were the days....*grizzled voice* the keyboard battles we fought...the laugh we shared. Good times...

I am not so sure...

I think its pretty much split... the more Aliens Fan Boys may be getting excited with this....  I think Prometheus when it was announced had much more Hype... but i think Trailers etc started to make some concerned this is no Alien flick and have doubts we would get answers...

Ridleys interviews seemed to back that up... and so Prometheus divided opinions.

I think this time we have Aliens and its being pushed down the throats to get people into to see the movie, and they may now expect a Spaights kind of Movie minus not so much Engineer and Mythos stuff...

But then i think this is in part the elements they are not showing... that will be part of the surprises.

A NUMBER of Fans was maybe Expecting Prometheus to give us Xeno clues and answers and Felt let down...

It now SEEMS that Alien Covenant is teasing these again but with Xenos for 100% this time... but i think some of those fans may feel let down..

I am hoping that Prometheus fans, may be in for some nice surprises for the next movie, that sets up down the line getting some of the answers relating to creation and Engineers and who else they created and who created them.....

Myself....

After reading the 4Chan leaks...  i thought it sounded like a AVP2 minus Predators and Pred-Alien meets Alien R with a bit of Aliens Action and Alien horror thrown in... and super slasher movie splashes of Gore...

I felt those leaks missed out on a lot of other elements and never recall a lot of none Alien things... and so that gave me some hope..

The Set Reports and other new information does now give me some hope we would get a movie that is trying to please Alien Fans.. Aliens Action Fan Boys and those who thought Prometheus opened a interesting new universe.

My theory when AC was announced was this could be the case... and then Alien Fans would have Alien 5 to carry and the Alieny route and that a AC sequel could touch upon where they wanted to go prior...

I think this is something thats still possible...

But i am not going to set up too high expectations... because as some AVPGalaxy members had said....  The 4Chan is exactly the movie we having and those expecting Prometheus clues and answers will be disappointed....

But time will tell.... ;)

I was  9/10 Hyped for Prometheus prior to information and Trailers.. after that i was about 8/10

Movie i gave 6.5/10 had flaws... if it fixed some of them and had a extra 45 minutes then i think it would have been a 8/10 but its a movie i keep watching more than many others its very intriguing.

Prometheus 2 i was 7/10 hyped for... as i was concerned how they could handle some of the Questions....

Then we had Alien Covenant and Synopsis and i was like 6/10 hyped...

Then the 4Chan leaks made me feel 5/10 hyped.

Now i am about 6/10 hyped

Yeah, I think because Bella was very nasty at times, though never to me personally.

Yes, David and his 'flaming hand of spanky' lol

...and FREEZE! I really liked him too!

Hi Dave and thanks for your welcome {on another thread}, just couldn't stay away! 

Prometheus was too left field for some members, too grandiose in it's mythology and too vague in it's links to A L I E N, not the conventional horror the trailers seemed to imply.

This time round we know more about the areas which will be covered, so whether folks like it or not, I don't think people will be as thrown by the story and mythology of Covenant.

Yeah Big Dave I remember that you were disappointed as well but always kept it cool like a good sport.

Lone you're probably right I just didn't experience any of that directed at me either, maybe that's why I was surprised (Belladonna banned)

Yeah Freeze! Do you remember War, Mercenary7, Boinker, Gemini? 

Prometheus was too left field for some members, too grandiose in it's mythology and too vague in it's links to A L I E N, not the conventional horror the trailers seemed to imply.

That's a great way to see it but for me personally I wasn't bothered by that as much as I was bothered by the acting, characters, writing and the illogical things that even defy the fiction part of science-fiction imo.

Sorry I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record here but if just the acting and mainly the writing was a little bit more convincing, I'd accept the film as OK.

I have to emphasize again that it's just my opinion.

I remember Forever War, he was planning on coming to Scotland for a holiday some time!

Bella was working on some cool post apocalyptic gear. She posted update pics on the Mad Max forum, never got to see the final outfit because she got banned!

So many people left the site post PROMETHEUS, be nice if some returned for AC! 

No need to be sorry at all Neo. You are absolutely right about the writing/acting etc etc. I was just generalising as I've mentioned those faults so many times already! :)

I really like Prometheus, but I fully acknowledge there are many flaws. It's a weird film really, I kinda like weird, maybe I am weird....lol

One thing's for sure, the debate over it has had a very long mileage!  

I remember Punx went to an exhibition to see the RTO vehicles. He posted pics and we were all so grateful, happy and envious!

He said he was so excited that he almost peed himself XD

BACONMETHEUS....;)

Neurion was one of our earliest members, great guy! Everyone really was a treat to share these forums with. Unfortunately some yes, pushed boundaries and tempers flared a bit when Prometheus did release. But I think we've all moved past that which is the important thing.

Zeta Reticuli and Gemini were both ones I spoke with fairly often. They do pop by here and there. I suspect as things pick up even more we'll see some familiar faces again. :)

@Lone I remember that too! Was so awesome to see those up close haha
