Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
Hopefully the Jockey looks almost identical to the suit..
The Jockey we see in Alien turned out to just be a suit (which I think is ____ing stupid, can't believe they went the Independence day route). So we don't really know.

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
Yes. There was even a scene in Alien (which was cut I think) that showed the remains.
I don't know where the pic came from specficly, but it's said to be a trading card or something. So it's real.
And it's not stupid. Because we have zero knowlage of this being.

I have the Alien trading cards! Now I'm gonna have to dig them out, because I can't tell jack crap from that image, and don't remember that particular photo in the least...

That card/image is useless. Anyone who can tell what's going on in that pos photo can probably also decipher all of Bane's dialogue from TDKR.

It's pretty bad. But I think there was a blurb somewhere that tells what that is. So it's supposed to be a Jockey...thing....

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
I think it was just a generic name that was given, that for some reason stuck.
Unfortuantly, it's what the Alien is called. Pretty much almost officially. I mean, I call it Alien still.
Thankfully, no one officially calls the Predator a Yautja. Or any of that stupid ass retarded bull____.

I think it might be us in the suit. Explains the giant human face on that planet they arrive on..

I wish I could get super high for Prometheus, and have a predictable high, not some unforeseen crazy effed up shroom trip...

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
For me, it will have to be pretty damn amazing to beat the Jockey design we see in Alien. I don't think it will. I don't like the whole suit idea either because it reminds me of Independence Day, and I'm sure it's been used other times as well.
I really just think the design of the Jockey in Alien was incredible, and don't want to see it changed.
Xenomorph: The term Xenomorph is derived from the greek words xeno ("stranger", "alien", sometimes "foreigner") and morphe ("form", "shape").
So, an Alien is a fictional being from another world.. And the word Xenomorph means "foreigner/stranger-form/shape".
If you can't call it a Xenomorph, you can't call it an Alien. Can't call Predator a Predator either then.
No one is arguing that it's an official, scientific name for them..but it's what most people call them, and it's no different than any of the other names used for them.
So, I shall continue to call the Xenomorphs, Xenomorphs. As I have since I was born.
In the leaked "fake" script, it was said that Jockeys created us. That could explain the Human face in the ship/structure. And a picture was released that showed a dead/wounded creature that resembles a miniature Jockey, but with flesh.
And since we know the Alien Jockey was a suit, it would make sense for the actual creature to be a bit smaller..yet maintain the same overall shapes, which the one in the picture did. Even had the rib-like things on the chest if I remember correctly.
I don't think you understood.

I highly doubt it, and to be honest I really hope that's not the case.

Re: Official Alien Prequel/Prometheus Discussion Thread
That's not what an Alien is....
Alien-
Alien (law), a non-citizen inhabitant of a country
Extraterrestrial life, defined as life that does not originate from Earth
List of alleged alien beings (ufology)
Any introduced species, a species living outside its native distributional range

Are you? You gave a very strange defination of what an Alien is.
It's not a fictional being, or hypothetical. Alien means more then outer space ____.

C'mon man, you're supposed to be a big Alien universe fan. It's not some "generic" random name, it was IN Aliens. Gormon calls the creatures that during his little mission briefing with the Marines.
Completely different than that Predator/Yautja crap that was fan-made/conceived.
