Oh boy. I am slightly drunk but man, this one got me good 🤣
That version is definitely not directed by Ridley Scott.
It's a little unfair to the first Alien movie. It's been a while, but the first one is often hailed as an example of everyone acting as intelligently as makes sense for the character's job and motivation.
Prometheus in the other hand... I think Ridley Scott doesn't respect scientists very much.
Scott obviously hates scientists or is completely oblivious to how science works. The crew is the least scientific group of people ever assembled on film.
The Prometheus cost a trillion dollars and Wayland is betting his life on the success of the mission, but off the top of my head:
- The scientists aren't told what their mission is until they arrive at their destination which is so ridiculous, but you can argue that's what they signed up for, so okay. But that gives no one a chance to say "oh, then we should pack this odd piece of equipment."
- Wayland's presence isn't known to the crew, so no one is prepared as any sort of backup to David other than his daughter.
- There's one autodoc and it's only configured for males so again... Travel to another star after spending a trillion dollars with no backup? But somehow it can perform a C-section on a female with an alien in her. Okay.
- The pilot has to stand up? Really?
- The atmosphere is breathable so on that alone they take their helmets off. Sigh.
He should have brought the scientists and engineers that designed, tested and built the ship itself, because they were good.
I mean the list is just goes on and on about how unscientific the mission is. There's a whole cottage industry of youtubers pointing out the innumerable flaws in that movie.
I mean seriously. What the fuck.
I don't think Mother or the Android(drawing a blank on his name) would have allowed this.
Was he on the away team?
The android was named Ash
i want a "saving the world" movie where the sole reason the team is able to do it is because everyone else is a horror movie moron and the protagonists tell them to stop doing stupid shit.
"I think he's a serial killer! He's waiting outside to catch us!"
"Ok call 911, lock the doors."
"We don't have service!"
"Ok use 911 over WiFi"
"They'll never get here in time, were in the middle of nowhere"
Texts geolocation of serial killer to police
FBI easily arrests meat face man who only move at a walking pace
You might like Don't Look Up.
Would be a much shorter movie.
What do you mean? Do you know how dirty the dining table gets and then you have to clean the bulkhead. Check lights and buttons. Make sure the ship is pointed in the right direction and going the right speed. 90 minutes of content right there!
It blows my mind when people defend Prometheus and Covenant. ESPECIALLY when they say either one is their fave of the franchise. WTF
I'll be honest, I kinda like Prometheus. I think it has some absolutely gorgeous scenes, although the plot is pretty bad. Covenant is in the same vein, with less beautiful scenes and a worse plot
The thing that killed Prometheus was entirely the script. Set design? Great. CGI? Great. Acting? Great.
But when everyone character acts exactly opposite of what their chosen profession was, I can only come to the conclusion that Ridley Scott has a deep disrespect for Scientists.
The Geologist/Cave Mapper got lost. The Archeologist contaminated the site. The Biologist didn't recognize a treat response. The Anthropologist couldn't separate her work from her religious beliefs. I can see the subtext that Scott was going for and I disagree with it.
I hated Prometheus the first time I watched it. I now love it after 5 watches
I've never seen it and based on these comments I already hate it
"I MUST stick my face in it! For SCIENCE!"
face ?
Could have been an Easter egg and you'd never know.
the director's cut is 2421 panels long includes 34 more characters and a time travel subplot

OT, but I never googled Ridley Scott to know how they look like (or even gender) but in my mind the face that pops up is Sigourney Weaver. And no disrespect but I kinda like it :D
