probably.
there are other kind xenomorphs for sure, but not from human beings.

what was the big alien on the crashed spaceship? the one seated in the large weapon?
>>
>>69649242
It was Prometheus.
>>
>>69649242
An Engineer. Even though in Prometheus it's a third of the size
>>
>>69648932
No, there were thousands in AvP in the pyramid explosion.

>>69648932
The first penis head with teeth?

>>69649242
A space jockey. Because fuck Prometheus, that movie sucked.

Then why are there aliens carved on the temple walls?
>>

>the one seated in the large weapon?

Was it ever even confirmed it was a "weapon"? I thought it was probably the ship's navigation, i.e. a "driver's seat" of some sort.

That's what I thought familia

>>69649411
yes I liked it. one of the better horror movies Ive seen (although I haven't seen many). how is Prometheus? I see mixed opinions on it on /tv/.
>>
People watched Alien, and for decades had the same question as >>69649242, and that's one of the things that made Alien great.

The mystery was ruinned thanks to Prometheus.
>>
>>69649735
It's enjoyable at first and it looks stunning but it doesn't really make sense when you think about it
>>
>>69649419
Wait a minute, aren't Engineers technically human? Then why is the Deacon so different from the human Xenomorph?
>>
>>69649363
This.

I liked leaving that up to the viewers imagination
>>
>>69649735

See if there is a good fan edit somewhere. Once most of the shit and chaff are cut, it's a lot easier to enjoy.
>>
>>69649735
it's a decent spin-off, but doesn't quite make sense as a prequel.

>>69649363

Which is a better sci fi thriller movie? The Thing or Alien? No memeing
>>
>>69649735
>how is Prometheus? I see mixed opinions on it on /tv/
It's good, better than most sci-fi crap we get nowadays. People that hate it are mostly butthurt fanboys and mindless sheep with herd mentality.

alright thank you. I suppose I will give the regular version of Prometheus a watch first and if I like the general concept enough I'll look for other versions.

some evolution happened is assumed..
>>
>>69650060
Perfect=Perfect
>>
>>69649496
There is an obvious style that the things will evolve into, for it to not be predictable would make it a shitty weapon.

One way or another they will evolve into a Geiger-esque monster
>>
Dead-ass, is Prometheus actually a nonsensical mess or do people say that because they didn't understand the movie? Does one have to perform insane mental gymnastics to force it to make sense?
I've never seen it and I'm curious about watching it.
>>
>>69650060
The Things is an amazing movie
Alien is an amazing movie

The difference is, Alien is the reason why The Thing was made.

Alien is the first monster survival movie really, that is the protogen for the modern Slasher movie.

The Things is just another Slasher/monster movie

Alien is the prototype.
>>
>>69650099
nononononono
people that saw it in theaters. The deleted scenes pretty much reveal EVERYTHING, and should have been in the movie. That's the difference, almost every criticism of the movie is undone with the deleted scenes.
>>
>>69650201
There have been many threads driving into such questions. Basically it was ruined in the edit
>>
>>69650201
The movie is a complete mess. There are so many stupid events that you will question it right from the start.
>>
>>69650201
The plot is pretty straight forward and a mess at the same time.
>>
>>69650319

And putting a certain writer in...
>>
I swear this franchise is the only thing besides capeshit and GoT that /tv/ seem capable of discussing lately. We need more things like it

It's not the same species/model. The facehugger is different too.

prometheus doesn't afraid of anything either

That depends. He might have funny balls though, considering they probably roid with the black goo.

>>69651355
Never was.

for real though how does a chest burst punch through the rib cage? Their exoskeletons don't seem to be particularly hard as them can be pierced by bullets and blades

They might all bum each other though, like the ancient Greeks did.

Checks out if you're not retarded. Go figure.
>>
>>69651868

Oh so when the engineer drank the goo it created the primordial soup that evolved over hundreds of millions of years? But when the human drinks the goo it makes a worm over night and the guy dies....but not before fucking his wife creating a starfish in her, over night.

fuck off.
>>
>>69651996
I bet you think bananas taste the same today as they did 70 years ago. Products change, Anon. The movie is evidencing that the Engineers are capable of making mutagenic compounds with varying strength and purpose.

Try using the ol' noodle every now and then, friend.

Stop trying to defend this piece of shit. This is all conjecture based on your own thoughts and intuition, not anything established in the movie.

Congratulations on surviving the abortion, Anon. Shame it did so much brain damage. You're a brave soul.
>>
>>69652337
All you can do is resort to insults. It makes sense why you like this movie
>>
>>69651868
but there was like 2 different results when humans came in contact with the goo and one completely different when it came into contact with the fake space jokey

it was fine, most of the nitpicking is at character interaction which can be explained away

>scientists acting retarded
as if they never do

it could have been better and not as "hollywood" but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets
>>
>>69652465
could be different black goos

could be different forms of ingesting it

could be affected by dna

could be [insert thousands of biological variations here]

what's her face didn't even drink the goo
>>
>>69655221
then why didn't her bf turn into zombie?
even if it was affected by DNA it still wouldn't have such different results considering that the engineer had basically the same DNA as the humans
