Why was he locked inside the vault and in a state of coma toast?

How did he lock the vault?
What was his intention to enter the vault?
What was their goal of stockpilling the black goo?
Where did the black goo originate from?
Without the engenering/contruction by that android what was the original state of the black goo amd what harm could it do?
Why was fhe black goo important?
If these engeneers were so advanced why did everything look so Russian and out dated?

The idea of it being a suit was something floated around since the 80s. It was really surprising to see Ridley revive it for Prometheus actually. It's not a bad idea that they could change their plans towards biotechnology and either merge themselves with the ships or start growing lifeforms that only live to pilot the ship.

Gonna be honest, no idea for the space jockey was gonna work well on the big screen. They're all sort of too silly for the popcorn audience that hardly cares about what they're watching. They'd be confused about the telepathic elephant men too

It is. That's why they're all so impressed, tip toeing around it, and why the company sent a secret agent to ensure the unknown signal is investigated and any alien life brought back. In Aliens, they still haven't found anything, which is why literally EVERYONE scoffs at Ripley and mocks her. They've been out in space going to various planets and never found shit. So her saying she actually found aliens and they killed her crew is ridiculous. They don't even know what the word xenomorph means, which just means alien form.

They were right. The Aliens are incredibly weak, and can only really do anything by either ambushing unarmed individuals, or by taking absurd losses, even against small, isolated groups of trash-tier marines, despite how hard it is for the aliens to reproduce.

Hunting small game aliens is not the same as encountering an intelligent life form dead inside his own parasitic life form carrying spaceship, so what the miners encountered in the first Alien movie is way above the small fry lifeforms humanity had dealt with beforehand.

They only reproduce faster in terms of time. But they're inherently limited by the number of victims they can get their hands on, and their victims need to stay alive. Even then, they can only produce one alien for every victim, and on top of that, they need a queen to make eggs.
Given these limitations, and the fact that they're creatures that have no ranged attacks and can be killed with basic guns, they're really fucking weak, at least as a biological weapon.

When talking about the third movie he implied the Space Jockey is not an Engineer so maybe he wanted to but it seems that's canceled.

They recorded it all on their suit video. But remember that cameras were big and bulky. The best part about Alien was the shitty, bulky technology. Miniaturized capable technology pretty much destroys the whole thing since they'd have easy communication, tracking, drones, and video cameras everywhere.

It's from the 2019 RPG, and is considered canon until a movie or TV show says otherwise.

All of those are answered. He was in cryosleep. The ship was supposed to go to earth to destroy humans but suffered an outbreak. His shipmates died before it ever took off. The black goo was a bioweapon meant to be used to kill humans. The black goo mutates you into a zombie, and makes you a progenitor of xenomorph style stuff. David just tweaked the formula so that it made the xenomorphs we all know.

Why do you never see aliens in space suits? Like, actual aliens, not just blue humanoids. Why do they never need suits, or any type of protection in general? They're always just perfect and they've adapted perfectly not only to their environment but every other environment they find themselves in.
Piss off.

Oh I wasn't talking about Transformers, I just think it's a funny picture, and somewhat related. That being said, what the fuck does being "biomechanical" have to do with anything? Do you think cars designed for Earth would function on Mars?

I wasn't talking about transformers, retard.

Geiger created the art that made the entire alien franchise possible, along with God knows how many other spin-offs which used his aesthetic. The entire alien movie was based off of a few drawings and paintings by Geiger.


He described his artwork as biomechanical. Get good.

They only wear the suits because they're natural midgets. It's functionally just armor, with no discernible biological function. With or without it, they can (conveniently) survive within Earth's atmosphere, withstand its gravity, and they breathe oxygen. And they've traveled to fifty-gorillion planets prior to 1996. So every planet is just Earth, or the aliums are somehow a perfect organism.
...or Independence Day is the gayest movie ever made.

Damn brother, chill out.
I don't even know what you're arguing about at this point. They're biomechanical, great. So what?
Semi-related, but who even gives a fuck about Alien as a franchise? It's one fucking movie followed by a thousand shitshows, just like every horror and/or science-fiction franchise. Christ, even Evil Dead has gone down the shitter.

How did the outbreak stop?

What a weak way to kill earth. You would think that they would have had far more advanced weaponry

The ones in the fault got killed by the goo? Ehere are their mutated bodies?

What a dumb and silly team they send to handle that mission. The fuckup of all fuckups

How did they stumble on the goo?

My head canon (I mean Romulus implied some of this anyway):
>Black goo is derived from alien eggs like super stem cells.
>Aliens can adapt to pretty much any environment/any host which makes them such a surviviable organism.
>The Engineers use their finding to better improve their society but it grows stagnant.
>The universe is largely dead with ancient societies mostly having died off.
>Engineers try to revive life.

Honestly the original script for Prometheus is great

>Eventually run out of blood and need a new source
>Make Artificial Blood
>Artificial Blood can only make monsters
>Through Shenanigans, Eventually a Monster created by the Artificial Blood impregnates the Engineer and a New Deacon is made in the process

That doesn't answer some of the most pressing questions:
>Why did Prometheus steal the goo and bring life to the Humans? Were they trying to kill the Humans because he had done that? What did they do to Prometheus' friends?
>why did he chimp out and attack David and Weyland?
It's stupid and hypocritical if it's just because past humans were violent. And really, REALLY dumb if it's because he's a robot. The damn engineer is amazed that they have colored wind chimes and books. But not amazed at perfect androids and light speed ships?

Explained as them having sent an Agent to their world (Jesus), and humanity having killing him
>why did he chimp out and attack David and Weyland?
This one made it to filming before it was cut
Weyland and David talk to him, and the Engineer gets absolutely pissed at Weyland for demanding immortality and considering himself a god
