it's also impossible for something to fossilise if it's not underground so scientific accuracy goes out the window, I've always thought that the Jockey was mummified, which in sub zero temperatures and low air pressure can happen a lot quicker, think of those ice mummies they find up in the Himalayas and Andes and stuff, that are only a few thousand years old if that, imagine even colder temperatures and even lower air pressures and something will mummify even quicker.

One still could imply that its been there for a very long time, certainly longer than fifty years. And still, the planet looks completely different to that of LV-426.

Interesting article.

I'll be right back. I gotta go see a man about a mule.

But isn't the derelict ship supposed to be capable of terraforming or something? I'm just saying, maybe when it crashes, it terraforms LV-426 into what we know it as. If you look at the picture I posted last page, it even looks like the derelict ship is laying on rubble, hence why I thought the port that it takes off from probably blows up or something.


Too many god damn questions, Scott just needs to officially come out and say "Yes, it's an Alien prequel."

_________________

We should probably assume that maybe, just maybe, those differences might lie in simple oversight made by the new set designers, it is possible that Scott is not obsessing over every single detail, and that the planet we might see in Prometheus is indeed LV-426, albeit with some inconsistencies.

Or perhaps, as WJK says, the ship terraformed THE SHIT out of the planet and made it look quite different.

Retconning ftw?

I still like the idea that the ship is sitting on the rubble of the underground docking bay.

Urgh...........please no, I would hate for this franchise to fall to that level of degradation !

I believe Scott has said only Alien and Aliens are canon.

Hmm doesn't really say the exact words, and no mention of Aliens or not, but still:

Kinda sad that it's come to this, but that just goes to show what some people can do to destroy an iconic figure and turn it into another disposable product of pop culture, the xenomorph as conceived in the first film, is nothing less than pure brilliance, it's sad what it is now, but at least we know Scott is on the right page on this issue.

_________________

What sucked the xenomorph dry was the AVP movies. I can understand Aliens 3 and 4, but when they went for AVP, it´s the beggining of the end.

As to Prometheus, I´m gonna go inside the theater hoping that it´s Alien prequel of sorts. If it´s not, will enjoy Ridley´s return to sci-fi ,and well constructed story with some kickass actors. win-win situation for me...

I'm not one to judge the idea of AVP itself, since I thought it was a great concept, at least in my opinion.

But it's so pathetically executed that one can't possibly think it could've been good..........ever !



Pretty much !

Unless Ridley Scott pulls a Mass Effect 3 on us !

Dude, if that happens you will see in the international section of your country´s newspaper and news sites "Portuguese man goes ballistic in movie theater and kills everyone with his own hands."


Right now I really can´t take another dissapointment like that. Heck, this is I´m sticking to The Avengers(with Prometheus running on the outside lane). I want sure things, properties that won´t fuck me in the ass in the last 5 minutes.


But hey, here´s hoping that Marc Walters and Casey Hudson recognize their bullshit and give a dlc ending...


end of offtopic.



And AVP remembers me of Jason vs Feedy. You knew shit was wrong...

Casey Hudson is an asshole, Mass Effect 11 will be announced and the guy (with a cane and an oxygen can) will still go to E3 and say "It's still a great entry into the series for newcomers!", what a douchebag.



Maybe, it was indeed a silly concept, but the final product didn't have to be SUCH a piece of shit.

The AVP games weren't bad. The movies are what sucked ass.

The problem is that the dude had a brain fart of sorts. Walters wanted to flesh out stuff, give a Investigate option, but Hudson said, and I quote "Let´s keep it high level." So staying in the fucking dark after you completly sidetracked the themes of 3 games is keeping it high level? If it´s levels of bullshit, yeah...


As to AVP, to base the movie on a game franchise with no story whatsover(c´mon WJK, no way they could make a decent movie out of that), and to get the kind of talent behind it, you knew a shitstorm was inbound.

When those motherfuckers introduced Weyland and Yutani, a part of me was like "wtf?"...

^True, they had no plot, but they're video games, plot isn't a necessity. AVP should have stayed in comic form, or at least the movies should have adapted them better.
