is there a different cut of Prometheus? the opening scene I saw had an Engineer sacrifice himself to make DNA, then Lisbeth Salander finds early evidence of life... man, that film looks gorgeous I think I need to watch it again

It makes sense for the Predators to have a technology threshold, it would probably be the point where a species could become an actual threat to their homeworld.

Weren't the Elephant-looking Space Jockeys briefly in one of the AVP novels as well?

That does remind me, Aliens TC, the infamous DOOM mod from back in the day did this. With lots of use of voice overs from the movie, etc. it does (as best as possible with 1994 DOOM modding technology) to replicate the shuttle landing and Apone and crew exploring the wrecked colony, the entire level has zero enemies but also gets you used to how the new assets make doors/etc. look and work and stuff. This was a huge huge huge deal in action game design of the time. Like Super Metroid has a similar opening areas build-up and was released in the same year. It was so awesome and intense at the time.

Also great was that you lost all your weapons in the final level and the chainsaw from the normal game was modded into a power loader

Actually, David is textually attempting to ape the face of god with varying levels of success, and in his hubris, claiming the natural path of form as his own design.

According to a lot of the Internet, Ridley Scott is David here and the Universe has already created the perfect Alien movie

I think the xenos are the Mad Max of space, they're campfire stories for interstellar colonists to tell in the dark.



That's how Pitch Black and Riddick follow on in the far future.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

Intent doesn't matter very much, but "ancient" refers to a period of roughly 1500-5000 years ago. It's consequently technically impossible for something to be both "ancient" and "fossilized".

All the alien technology we see in Prometheus - including the ships flown by the characters, and the black goo that David uses - is literally ancient. It's dated at somewhat over 2000 years old.

Fossilization can actually occur in a matter of hours or days, that's how they have found fossilized stomach contents and even embryos

Most of the questions in this thread are about corporate activities and conspiracies in the future so unfortunately we're just going to have to wait
