What was his plan??
crashing the spaceship
with no survivors
The whole ship was full of his clones. He was cloned because he was the perfect specimen of his species and was tasked to create more of his specie in his image
to advance the earth chimps into humans.
Did anyone else find the Engineers to be some of the most beautiful things ever put to screen?
I don't mean in the sense that they were "attractive", but that their entire look spoke of this pure, majestic beauty. Like this is what the pinnacle of humanity should be. I actually re-watched Prometheus multiple times just to see the Engineers again.

I at least hope the sequel has female Engineers desu
>>62663064
yeah the design for the engineers was very bizarre and it seemed plausibly extraterrestrial to me. I got the vibe that they seemed kind of like another race of humans in a far off country but with insanely advanced technology and genetic modifications. It could've just been because I went to the theater on shrooms though
>>62663064
I felt the same way. They look so human yet so alien at the same time. Really great design for them.
>>62663224
>But the ones they meet on the planet are different.
I think it's some kind of space suit
>>62663064

Why would their species even have females? There's no way they still reproduce sexually.

"okay, we now have the ability to reproduce without sex. all in favor?
<crickets>
>>62664028
Do you honestly think that an advanced species like that would give a shit about such a dumb, primal urge such as sex?
>>62664058
we're a pretty advanced species compared to everything else that we know of and that's pretty much all we give a shit about
>>62663560
Tfw Scott first claimed sequel would have even less to do with Alien, now its literally called Alien Paradise Lost. I have zero hopes, because as flawed as Prometheus was it still had massive potential and the sequel could have saved it and turn it into something great.
>>62662902
>>62662911
>>62664065
YEAHH
>>62664103
In comparison to other life on Earth, sure humans are an advanced species. That's a really weak argument though. We're still pretty much cavemen just throwing stones at each other and having sex.
>>62663064

>>62664194
Yeah, well my theoretical aliens love fucking. Big time.
>>62664162
I think the point he is trying to make is that sex is such a simple thing, and yet has such a huge impact on our society. A lot of people see sex, appearance and general vanity as a sad side of our society, and they are not wrong, half of the human life is showing off.
It's likely that advance civilizations would eventually try to "clean" themselves out of things that hold their advancement, and since sex is mostly about pleasure, it would probably be out of the way quite soon.
>>62663560
this pissed me off so much because it's obvious that the space jokey in Alien was a fossilized alien, not a stupid suit.
Also in Alien the thing was huge, when here Engineers are just a bit taller than human, doesn't make any sense
>>62664263
>sex is mostly about pleasure
it's pleasurable so that we do it, because of reproduction.
>advancement
the thing is that nature doesn't actually "advance" in a direction. what works, works - until it doesn't work.
a futuristic society that evolves usable DNA recoding would have to decide what it actually regards as "more advanced" - and it would probably wind up using the template for what gives people an optimal balance of sexually desirable traits. it would be limited by existing human fallibility in the same way that the Nazi eugenics programs were limited.
>>62664263
>It's likely
and ya blew it.
There is literally know way to know that. You are just basing that on your own imagination, which has no bearing on reality.
What we do know is that by most definitions, humans are the most advanced species that we know of in the universe and we're still sex-crazed. In some ways even more so than less advanced creatures

>tfw that late 90's feel is gone forever
>>62663064
I thought they definitely looked like a vision of human perfection.
The Roman statue angle was a nice touch. It could've been done a bit better; they looked a tad doughy, but all in all their design was effective.
The worst thing about Prometheus was that the deleted scenes ultimately would have saved it. Most of what didn't work was because they cut a scene that tied to it.
>>62664133
this scene was just too much for me

Ok, let's remove everything that "hold advancement" sex, drugs, entertainment, all that, why even advance then? Isn't it for some pleasure in the end?

>>62675966
shes got an axe to grind about the creators abandoning them. and the black good rape.
>>62663433
Shut up you fucking faggot.
>>62675966
I don't know why an axe would be so out of place. Even if she had a laser axe it would always run the risk of shutting off or overheating or whatever.
I'd imagine it would be standard procedure to have a whole kit of traditional tools just in case the power to the ship or equipment goes down. That's just common sense; you can never be too careful in space.
>>62663433
>Avatars is a movie with actually great desines

>>62675921
To keep doing what? Advancing? For what?
What better shit? Drugs are almost as close to absolute pleasure as one can get. They directly affect brain, not much you can do to top that. Sure they fuck you up if abused, it's not even about addiction or side effects, it's just pleasure always fucks you up if abused.
I just don't understand, the whole point of tech advancement is to make one's life easier, better, longer and more pleasurable, why would anyone think about removing pleasure is beyond me. The whole point of life is to find the ultimate pleasure just for yourself which called happiness.
>>62675966
she is the huntsmen and the big bad wolf is the engine man. she must kill the engine man. she is little red riding hood in space. Thats why the axe is curved because it symbolizes the turn in the story arc. where she defeats the evil engine man

>I just don't understand, the whole point of tech advancement is to make one's life easier, better, longer and more pleasurable, why would anyone think about removing pleasure is beyond me.
Some people find pleasure and happiness through pure technological advancement. The thrill of discovering something new and the pleasure of knowing you've changed the world for the better. Ever consider that?
>>62675408
This. Why do people act like the scientists were supposed to be the top experts of their fields? The mission was a secret to hide Weyland's true intentions so he could just get some shmucks who were just good enough to do their jobs and be expendable. Being a scientist doesn't automatically make you a robot.

>>62676182
Yeah sure, but why can't they have sex in the process (that just adds to pleasure, isn't it?) or more importantly why would they strip other people, who find happiness in love and sex, of their happiness? I wouldn't call that kind of society healthy or happy, no fucking way.
Biological creatures who were born with biological needs may try as hard as they wish but they won't be able to cut from their roots completely. Humans living in the first world are living better than humans ever lived yet depression suicide etc are at their highest rates yet. Because we are biological creatures trying to build mechanical, if I may use that word, society, which is so fucking far away from out millions year old brains. People who think about tech advancement and enjoy scientific accomplishments are so rare. And they won't see large increase in quantity because it's not how out brains work, and I don't think that anyone would want to mess with brain structure on a scale of humanity for some increase in productivity or whatnot. And if they would then I don't even know how to put it, this whole advancement race (as in racing) would sure be won, but any reward will probably become meaningless.

There's a difference between pale skin and marble white skin. Even albinos have bits of pink to their skin. They were too pale, too tall, and too naturally hairless to be typical (or even atypical for that matter) human beings.
>>62676741
the engineers are supposed to be the nephalim of legend, half angle half human giants. The fact that there have been known cases of gigantism where people have grow to nearly 8ft is just one of these mythos that have been passed down through the ages.

It's very clear that it's what the production was shooting for. Poor design made them look less statuesque and more niggerlike. They're supposed to look Roman.
>>62677834
the Nephalim giants were Ancient creatures that existed before even the Hebrews, they were definitely NOT supposed to look Roman you doofus.
Just stop./
>>62677868
Maybe not logically, but I'd bet actual money that it was exactly what was going through Ridley's mind.
You bet your ass he threw around words like "Romanesque perfection" and the art director immediately thought "Roman statues" and rolled with that. This isn't a Kubrick film and it was pretty clear that Scott doesn't really give much of a shit anymore.
>>62677868
in fact the whole David and goliath story was about a Giant, who was thought to have been one of the last Nephalim alive and KInd david, King of the jews salyed him and that was the begining of the heresy the engineers were so angry about.
They then were supposed to have sent jesus, to try to fix this mistake and thet went wrong too leading to the whole lets just black good the planet.
Also, yeah Nephalim are just myth, but for god sake people learn the fucking mythos of the fucking film.
fucking romans? fuck off
>>62677868
The nephilim are imaginary creatures that were never described as anything but "giant", you fucking ass.
>>62677929
Tell that to the artists in charge of the movie. It was obvious they were going for Romans whether it made sense or not.
>>62677916
hes more of a ancient philosopher, the whole nephalim story was probaly more on his miind that romans. He was literally trying to explain God, and thats not remotley related to roman ethos. The nephalim were supposed to be this bastardized bridge between heaven and earth, of man and angel. thats why promethues 2 is call ''paradise lost' because when god was supposed to have found out the angles bore children who were nephalim ginats he tried to wipe them out.
Hence the scene in the temple were they are all running for thier life from this mysterous black goo. the wrath of god.
its literally a biblical film. its got nothing to do with roman design. that came aeons after all this had happend, and in the film it mimics that.
Sure i will give you the idea about promethues being a GREEK ethos about a god stealing fire and giving it to humans but in the end, it more based on things that happened before man was even man, the birth of man.
>>62678005
they were half angle and half man, the children of angles and man. you fucking ass. desu senpai
>>62678016
it was obvious they were going for nephalim giants youre just to stuborn to admit youre wrong . as if being wrong some how will make the world suddenly vanish in a wave of black goo
come on.
>>62678036
I'm not saying that Romans were what Ridley wanted. I'm saying that Romans were what Ridley ended up getting, and then he just shrugged it off as close enough.
This movie wasn't exactly painstakingly crafted. Even for a modern Ridley Scott movie it felt phoned in and even a bit rushed.
>>62678062

right so ridely scott using the phalim mythology of half angle and half man and using his artist lices to make them look like albino space niggers is some how my fault.
yeah youre fucked. in the black goo,
>>62678182
>ill give you that it was a really half assed film by ridley, either that or hes lost it.
That's all I was saying really. Miscommunications like that are pretty common in film production.
Ridley likely described his vision of Nephilim as unnervingly perfect, giant, hairless human beings. The person in charge of props, effects, etc. took that decided to go for Roman statues for whatever reason. It was the art director's personal take on what Nephilim-like beauty was. It wasn't accurate, but there it is.

I've never seen such a good movie be so misunderstood and hated on by morons. And the fucked up thing is it's not even confusing or deep. At all.

are you sure its not because shes trying to say that her faith in god is stringer than an alien that abandoned the human race and its a symbol of her determination to cut down the devil in its tracks.

lol yes.
>>62681614
so youre saying the axe isnt a metaphor for the pain in her heart about being abandoned by God but her faith is so strong that she still holds onto her faith in God because she believes here is a higher purpose and that gives her the strength to face the adversity of a God like being who wants to kill her.
>>62673700
This reminds me of my mother.
>>62681677
LOL I'm loving your posts, but I have no idea if you're fucking with me or you're one of those people who reads into things way too much. Seems like people either didn't understand this movie on it's most basic literal level, or think it's super deep. It's just a well done sci fi horror movie.

There are nine giant albinos wearing diapers in the room with you?
What kind of fucked up awesome life are you living?

>actually considering pleasure to be good.
gets in the way of anything good.
>>62681786
so what youre saying is that in that moment, in a ridely scott film she just suddenly out of know where, pics up an axe, not a gun, or a pipe, or a knife or some Sharpe object from the wreckage, but one of those most crafted axes that has been overly designed by a rdily Scott team of developers, and that for no apparent reason even though theres like a million weapons of choice in a crashed ship she should have probably gone for in the spur of the moment, scott chose to make her purposefully pick up an axe.
And that the axe has no meaning at all, in a film entirely filled with metaphor and mythology .
no Little red riding hood huntsmen cross over , no faith in god. no faith in herself, nothing. its
>just an axe
and you think thats it?
hmmm k then. it was really great having your imput into this film. thanks.
>>62676020
I know too many IRL scientists who are pretty 'tarded. I think that's why their in-film stupidity never bothered me much.
I also like the theory that the selected experts were incompetent on purpose because of the usual Weyland-Yutani being evil bit. The movie makes much more sense if you look at it as the old geezer and robo-fassbender using the entire crew as willing guinea pigs for their transhuman experimentation.
>>62681901
axes are popular in horror movies. are you damon lindelof by chance? hahahaha
>>62676190
>>62676250
Exactly, I immediately ignore people who cunt about the "dumb" scientists because they ignore the whole fucking point, which is that it's Alien all over again, and just like how everyone on the Nostromo was expendable so Bilbo could catch the Xenomorph and bring it back to daddy ultil Sigourney Weaver fucked that all up, Weyland only cared about meeting "god" and communicating to him through David. Everyone else were just expendable resources to bring about that outcome.
>>62681961
so the whole sub plot about her dying father, her lost fiath in God her asking why god abandoned her, and earth and humans, and all of that, its just ...for no reason? none? like, the squeal is called paradise lost after the epic Poem by \john milton, And that the Axe, is a symbol in a lot of tales modern and old where either its used to protect innocence or dstroy innocence
And you think......its just an axe.
I mean, it makes sense, its just, like, an axe. bravo ridely

Truly /bane/ is the pinnacle of human civilization. When we are gone /bane/ will live on an eternal testament to humanity
>>62681961
youre the reason theres no real discussion on /tv/ anymore.
I mean even ABATAP could defend his shitty film better than this. And avatar was shit.
>>62682066
Ya sorry bro. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. You can read into it all you want if that gives you more enjoyment out of it. The writer and director probably would love what you're saying but it's not necessary to enjoy the movie.
>>62682238
youre actually really thick.
>>62681786
You're really dumb.
>>62682257
>>62682257
its why he likes the film so ,much senpai
>>62682151
Fuck you. Avatar and Prometheus were both great. Although I only saw Avatar in 3d when it came out so I'm not sure how it holds up.

YOURE A BIG GUY!

/tv/ a shit.
>>62682257
>>62682260
The reason you people think Prometheus is all about symbolism and deeper meanings is because you're too fucking stupid to understand the script on it's most basic surface level.
>>62682326
god damn i never thought i would miss that guy,
remember when he managed to spam the whole board for 3 hours with the same image if that blue girl.
Fucking butthurt haters everywhere.
>>62682316
2012 was before the true dark times of the SJW, when based Ridley was still free to shitlord about what human perfection REALLY looks like without having to worry about some gender- or race-baiting cunts spoiling the fun.
>>62682360
yeah yeah that makes total sense, like, being able to see the symbolism in what scott directed means we some how dont undertand the basic plot. BUt because you cant understand the deepr symbolism its us who have the problem.
yeah yeah that makes total sense. youre spot on , your a big guy.
>>62682151
Cry more.
>>62682405
guys avatar 2 will be announced next year, and the return of Abatap is assured. Its going to be worse that all these fucking star wars threads. its going to be butthurt city.
>>62682367
Goddamn those were the days. Baneposting had nothing on that dedicated autistic motherfucker.
Im astounded he went with the 'humans were seeded by aliens' plot.
It such a dumb idea. Its never worked in any media, and yet its been done to death. Who do these producers think will buy into the story? It wont resonate with a science-y crowd that understands human beings evolved on Earth, and it wont resonate with anyone who isnt into science, such as creationists.
Its like a lose-lose writing decision.
>>62682397
>cant understand the deepr symbolism
Sure I can. Can you understand the movie without it? Cause I can do that too. Cause it still makes sense as a straightforward thriller. That's what NO ONE on /tv/ seems able to comprehend.
>>62682471
i was sure he was a shill, but then it turned out he lived in his mums basement and he literally just loved the film. it was so brilliant.
>>62682473
Agnostics and /x/philes might like it.
>>62682525
i cant understand why you youre such a big guy
>>62682473
Star Trek used alien seeding to explain why so many races in the galaxy looked similar to each other.
>>62682308
>>62682397
>>62682560
If I understood why and how "you're a big guy" was an insult I might actually be offended faggots.
>>62682525
its not a straight forward thriller, it was a purposefully crafted prequel to a trilogy leading upto alien one so he could reclaim the inverse he felt was ruined by the films after alien.
Are you really this fucking stupid.
I know you want this to be some J abrams bullshit movie with pew pew lasers, But its ridely fucking scott . get your head out your ass for a moment and realise what your actually watching.
>>62682593
oh yeah, the lonely alien race that got so lonely they made all life in the universe which is why all the species look similar and have a genetic piece of the puzzzle.
>>62662889
TO NOT BE WOKEN UP FROM HIS THOUSAND YEAR SLUMBER BY SOME DUMBSHIT HUMANS AND AN GAY ANDROID THAT THOUGHT HE COULD SPEAK HIS COMPLEX AS SHIT LANGUAGE. JESUS CHRIST IF SOME ASSHOLES WOKE ME UP AFTER SLEEPING THAT LONG I WOULD WANT TO GRAB THE CLOSEST LIVING THING AND STRANGLE IT AS WELL.
>>62682656
so the engineers were just lonley...thats really sad. i wish i had a sad frog meme here to express my sadness.
>>62682593
Yeah, and, as much as I love Star Trek, it didnt work there either.
>>62682625
How does it being a prequel to Alien contradict anything I'm saying?
>>62662889
Smoke weed, make money, get bitches.

I think you're so upset you haven't even heard wtf I'm even saying here LOL.
>>62683027
i just love talking to you is all, i mean your pig headnes is refreshing. Usually people go on an on about hoe deep the film is but you, youre just like, it looks pretty and thats it, and i respect you for that.
*tips fedora*
>>62682891
>>62683027
and just to be clear. There IS subtext and symbolism in the movie. Yay for you for noticing. But what it's really ABOUT is some black fucking goo that mutates shit and OMG the protag has to run away and survive all the scary monsters. THAT"S the point of the movie.
Guys, how much better would the opening scene have been if the Engineer were a painstakingly stop motion animated marble statue (or at least a lightweight material to look like marble)?
were any of you ever truly scared like you were when you first watch the alien film? i wasn't it was just like some chore i had to sit through and then i had to make some kind of sense from this pile of bullshit. Literally not scary and yet its supposed to be the prequal to one of the greatest space thrillers of all time. and its just a fucking joke.
Am i the only one who just bored throughout the whole film? and then the deacon at the end was like wow fuck, he fucking ruined it.
>>62683140
look im going to be honest so you can save your time, im not readin your posts, just kind of skipping over them so youre basically talking to yourself at this point. sorry.
>>62682360
You're dumb because that guy is clearly fucking with you you waste of grey matter.
>>62683192
Think I found the 12 year old who was kicking the back of the seats in the row behind me...
I don't care what anyone says. I genuinely like this movie, despite all the retarded decisions the characters made.
I can't wait for the sequal
>>62683339
i ran out of popcorn like half way through the film and there was nothing else to do, sorry senpai
This movie had such amazing effects and atmosphere, and such a potentially amazing story, but it had some of the worst writing I've ever seen.
Fuck prometheus.
