What's a "slurper"?

More power to you if you think Prometheus is the prequel ALIEN deserved.

No big deal...

Never said it was.

You really don't need to justify yourself that way, you know. That said, I have seen you bashing other people for likening movies that you don't like: AVPR, for example.

No you haven't. Because I never have.

Lol....read your post #7360.

 

[tnaig001]

^^^ for the record I enjoyed the movie overall.


BUT I'm still able to laugh at what I think is relevant humor.

I like AVPR because of Wolf (there I said it ) however I accept that the whole thing is one big mess.


As much as people don't like it, Prometheus is a Ridley Alien film deep down so next time you watch Alien think back to Prometheus about how it all started.

only just saw it, I liked it

I haven't seen AVPR... Does that make me a bad fan?

Not really, it's more of a guilty pleasure for me. I tend to watch it when I want to see Wolf kick the crap out of some aliens.

AVPR is a great debate starter though.

I know... there is a reason I haven't seen it

I noticed in the documentaries that it was determined that Engineers live about 100,000 years, so the one they woke up after 2,000 years would have been sleeping the equivalent of two human years, which is exactly how long the Prometheus crew slept on their way to LV-223. Kind of cool that they all slumbered about the same amount of time respectively prior to meeting each other.

To continue with the notion that 2,000 Engineer years = 2 human years then for the Engineer who woke up it'd be like if the crew of the Prometheus entered hypersleep and then when they arrived at LV-223 David woke the crew with a fully formed T-800 Terminator at his side and said, "Look what I made, now I'm like you so can you make me live forever?"

Crazy.

Engineer would have been pwned if that had been the case

It makes you a good fan.

You want the movie that killed the Alien franchise, it's AvP-R. Insulting movie. In every possible way.

Which you love.

I would've loved it more if they killed the Predator at the end and won. It would've made up for how terrible they treated the Aliens.

@ the Predator comment. But yeah they did crap all over the aliens (although they were pretty much bugs and cannon fodder like in Aliens).

 

[a-dev]

The Aliens in Cameron's film often get that label as being cannon fodder - but for cannon fodder they sure did wipe out quite a lot of soldiers in just one battle.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ Exactly. They were a serious threat. Yes there was a lot, and yes the marines took out a ton, but it wasn't "yawn...aliens...meh". Even when they died, they killed many marines. Drake, Vasquez, Gorman...ect.

The AvP-R aliens just killed homeless people, and children. Woopy doo. They barely posed as a threat to anyone. The Predator stepped on one's face, and it didn't affect him at all. Stupid Predator Fanboy tards.

So did the aliens in AVPR when they took out the National Guard fleet, they were still cannon fodder though. Luckily the behaviour of the aliens in Aliens set up nicely for the big reveal of the Queen.
