nuslop comes and goes but Prometheus was one of the last spasms of old hollywood before its total death a year or so later
this was supposed to be the next big serious alien movie and while I enjoy it itโ€™s a fucking joke
the jockey mummy turning into a robot suit for this albino pissed off as much people as spino/rex battle in JP3

Damon Lindelof is why Prometheus is a retarded meme instead of being truly great. Prometheus is kino in spite of him.

I mean it was the first Alien in a while.
Obviously people were disappointed as it's not very good.
But at least we can see there's a good movie lurking under this retarded script, some good scenes and concepts.
Romulus is just plain bad and retarded.

Let me guess: baby capeshitter needs a trilogy overexplaining every niche of everything like in its baby comics? I bet you know the lore behind the reason Jim Gordon has mustaches and want an epic trilogy out of that

Prometheus actually introduced new ideas, it's flawed but had a lot of potential. It reminds me of The Keep in that way, it sparks the imagination.

Romulus is nothing but fanservice. The only things that makes it stand out are รlvarez's signature "EWWWW" moments, same with Evil Dead. There was barely any mystery or subtext because all of the 'rules' of the franchise are set in place.

It's just a knockoff of Alien Isolation which did everything way better. But most are too lazy to play a game to enjoy the story. And way too chickenshit to face the alien themselves, so they just want to passively watch women do it then yell at them for making stupid mistakes (they themselves certainly wouldn't make any mistakes right? right?!)

Romulus is a kiddie version of the original Alien film - for kids about kids. It's nothing new except for narrowing down the focus group to gen Z.

Prometheus on the other hand posed some interesting questions (but failed to answer them): Why were humans made? Why did the Engineers plan to destroy them? What responsibilities do makers and their offspring have to eachother?

Btw. The jerk who died being "poisoned" by David was wrong. Wayland didn't make David "because he could", but because Wayland didn't want to die, and David was sort of a son who wouldn't have to die.

>Why were humans made?
They stated pretty bluntly that it was because they could and because they wanted their creations to serve, worship and obey them. Weyland didn't want to accept that, and said there has to be some mindblowing, amazing, perfect reason for it.
>Why did the Engineers plan to destroy them?
Literally because Humans got uppity and wouldn't obey. They did their own thing instead, so needed to be wiped out.
None of these are interesting for an 'Alien' movie. This is all for an 'Earthling' movie. Which is why it keeps being repeated that Prometheus could have been interesting as its own series. Discarding the unnecessary Alien bits would have allowed it to be so, so much more.

That's not in the movie, though. Have you read fan fiction or something? Also Weyland's reason for wanting to meet the Engineers was stated in the movie, and it was because he wanted his life extended and thought they could do that.

>In Mark Verheiden's comic book series Aliens, a Space Jockey-like creature is encountered, and is able to communicate telepathically with Humans. It is shown with pink skin, a tail and an elephantine trunk, and yellow, cross-shaped eyes.

Dark Horseโ€™s The Alien (November 1991)
>This long unsung short story serves as an important prologue to both Aliens: Earth War (aka Aliens: Female War) and Aliens: Genocide, taking place between the two stories, and serves the pivotal role in explaining how the Earth became habitable again after the events at the end of Aliens: Book I and Earth War, at which point the Earth was apparently left a nuclear irradiated waste with a Space Jockey vessel hovering in orbit and conducting terraforming of the whole planet via an energy beam.

Lol, even the name "Ayylium" itself is very shallow. Most people outside of Hollywood wouldn't even recognize it as a franchise, but rather as a collection of numerous A-grade and B-grade duplicates floating in infinite schlop space.

Prometheus was forgettable as a film but I feel like the atmosphere and world it created were extremely thought provoking

Prometheus was so close to being great kino
but the script was dumb, as all lindelof scripts are, and its flaws are like grit in an oyster, forming a pearl
