Prometheus

[Pikminister]

Dude, the film could end up as a space turd, even the most experienced directors cant read a script and know if its good or bad(Tim Burton, by his own admission).

Don't call it a masterpiece until ye has seen it!

The Taj Mahal is a masterpiece and I have never seen it. Pictures don't do it justice. Or so they tell me.

If this film bombs and turns out to be a turd, then we'll always have James Cameron.

Ridley Scott doesn't consider Alien 3 and 4 to be canon. Neither does Cameron.

Colonial Marines is part of the established canon? This is good.

Everything will hopefully tie in together better now. Alien 3 deserves better treatment, both by the fans and by Fox.

I need to go find the Q&A but I'm fairly certain at this point some discussion has been made which implies it is the same craft. Additionally the rundown of the Aliens Colonial Marines game coverage recently has said people at Gearbox have seen the Prometheus script, talked to Scott and say that the deralict craft from Alien (which as a location briefly appears in the Directors Cut of Aliens) is the last location in the game which also ties in somewhat with Prometheus (as the games plot is suppost to exist within the established Canon and be included).

Pfft! What's all this noise?... I won't care if that's the same ship or another one just like it (if we had several space shuttles, why can't those superior aliens have more than 1 similar ship?).

Anyway, such details are not the sort of thing that will even register with you, once you're in your seat watching Ridley's latest masterpiece.

You should get HYPED, not angry.

[Wrathborne]

settle down, You just said you agreed with what Dark_ Chris said, which is what I was saying all along.

I was also saying that none of us know the facts because the film isnt even out yet.
The only person who is having trouble understanding the conversation is you.

[Rick Hunter]

You know, I wish you were able to understand basic sentences, that way we would really be able to have a proper discussion.

Prometheus happens 40-something years before Alien. Thus it can't be the same ship, since the one we see in Alien is much, much older.

Can your brain computes this or is it still too hard for you to understand that at this point?

[Wrathborne]

Thats the opposite of what you're saying, you just confused yourself and am trying to take credit for being right.

That is why you fail.

[Rick Hunter]

That's exactly what I'm saying. Thanks for agreeing.

[Dark_Chris]

Rick Hunter: Prometheus is set in 2083 so it just can't happen hundreds if not thousands of years before first Alien movie which is set in 2123. http://time.absoluteavp.com/

What is a fail? Your post lacking proper arguments?

[Wrathborne]

Yeah sure, and I guess the alien eggs magically pop out of nowhere too.

It's apparently not the same planet, nor the same ship. And yeah, I'm talking about hundreds if not thousands of year. The ship is fossilized in alien.

Do the dead Jockey aliens bodies take as long as ours to become fossils? Do things fossilize faster on this planet?
Is there more than one Jockey ship in the film? Does the ship in the film we kind of see crashing actually crash, or does it make an emergency landing and manage to stay mostly in tact?

Answer: You don't know, and neither do I.
