Alrighty, so now that we have had a Xeno centric movie, with light Prometheus touches, it's time to get back on track. The next film needs to find a balance between "Alien" horror and Prometheus scale. I also think it's time for the Big Chap to be put to rest. I love it. It's great. But it's run its course. It's time for new creatures like the Neo, Deacon, and Ultramorph to shine. These critters have deeper connections with the Engineers anyway. We need a film where we get our answers, while also enduring the threat of Hulking Deacons, scuttling Neomorphs, and the monstrous Ultramorph, all while setting the stage for the 1979 classic. There is a balance. Scott just needs to find it. It can be done. Let us, as a community, stop complaining to Scott, and start shouting encouragements towards him. Tell him that his original plans still have life. Encourage him to go forward with the Engineers, the answers, and the new monster, barely teased at the end of Prometheus. You go Ridley!! I have faith in you!

Excellent post. That gives me a better perspective now.

 

I know I saw in one review, the reviewer said that the film indicated that living with David had driven Shaw herself mad.

Was this the reviewer reading into something, or is this actually communicated clearly?

Hey what does everyone think of sending an encouraging, open letter to Ridley Scott? We could encourage him with his ideas about the Engineers, plus tell him about the crucial balance, plus adding that we want to see newer, scarier monsters like the Deacon. We could start a new thread with ideas, and then Chris could put it all together

To your question that is pure supposition.

That's a great idea. I've actually wondered myself if Chris has already done the interview with Ridley or if there is still time for him to incorporate questions about whether the Prometheus crowd is left in the dust.

If the interview is yet to come, an open letter would be a great idea. There are so many people here who wanted to see the Prometheus questions answered (I even noticed that some who claimed to dislike Prometheus, also taking interest in these answers).

Even if Chris has already conducted the interview, Ridley should be made aware in some fashion that many people on this forum (Prometheus supporters and non) want to see these questions answered.

There is a split in the Alien community.  I like what the original Alien movies did, but it is redundant.  i am more interested in how the Aliens were created, who created the engineers, etc.

Thanks for the update. Hopefully we'll get a better feel for where Scott is going.
