Official "Ridley Scott's Prometheus" Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

[Kibagami]

Pssst. It's all one thread now. It has been for a day or so.

Ah thanks! =D

Also the term protoxenomorph revering to the alien at the end. This cannot be a proto as the Alien creature existing in 2004 in AVP (and AVP’s back story). So the “Alien” creature exists.

I don't think that Prometheus recognizes AVP as canon. I know I don't.

 

[Sachiel]

Absolutely not.

But I'm not sure this is a "protoxeno" either way.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

AvP isn't and never was cannon to the Alien universe.

 

[sueworld]

If I could magically change one thing about this movie, it would be the medpod and how the "baby" is handled start to finish.

For me It would be the choice of the actress who played Shaw. I really didn't take to her at all I'm afraid. She just didn't seem to have any real screen presence for me. Ripley mark 2 she wasn't imo.

Me neither but if AVP and the Alien films did happen to be in the same universe is there anything that contraditcs itself?

Didn't Lance Henricksen and Guy Pearce play the same guy? If one died in 2004 he couldn't have been on the Prometheus 80 years later.

She wasn't ever meant to be Ripley 2. A smart director like Ridley, he realized he was not going to be replicating Ripley.

People expecting a strong female lead similar to Ripley were probably disappointed. Because they created expectations.

Shaw (Noomi) was portrayed exactly the way Ridley wanted her to....and people have their own opinions on her portrayal.

It's not, Ridley never has recognized the AVP films as canon, they aren't and never will be. They are irrelevant in the discussion of Prometheus.

If Prometheus had a "Ripley" it was Vickers, not Shaw.

AVP was Charles Bishop Weyland and Prometheus was Peter Weyland.

 

[Sachiel]

I didn't see Vickers make a medpod perform a c-section on herself and I didn't see her rip an umbilical cable out of her abdomen.

 

[Khev]

AVP was Charles Bishop Weyland and Prometheus was Peter Weyland.

My mistake. I just thought they were both supposed to be the founder of the company, regardless of their first name, and would therefore contradict each other.

 

[Moonloop]

AVP was Charles Bishop Weyland and Prometheus was Peter Weyland.

Both are "the Weyland" in their own films. But looking at Alien 1-4, only Prometheus is recognized as canon to those films. The AvP films are not canon; pretend they take place in another timeline separate from Prometheus and Alien 1-4.

It sounds confusing....but you can thank those who made AVP.

I didn't see Ripley do that either.

 

[Sachiel]

Shaw must really be a badass then.

Hell yeah!

I think both Weyland's are the same person too. Another contradiction would be the introduction of Yutani at the end of AVP:R. Prometheus was still just Weyland.

Probs best to stop the AVP talk in here.

I agree.

Kind of like how there's Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Gojira) and then all the silly Godzilla vs. So-and-so movies that have nothing to do with the former film.

It's very confusing for us fans.

Wait -- are you saying that Godzilla does NOT live on Monster Island?
