Aazealh said:That's a rather debatable claim, and I think the movie would have been better with less people in it anyway.

Crucified ... or perhaps just restrained if you look at the lines over the arms. By assuming that pose, it's easy to think it has a Catholic explanation/ reference, but what if it's just a diversion in the sense it makes you think the obvious when it's actually not. It could simply be a warning. The entire mural could be a depiction of the process to get to THAT particular Xeno. Maybe it's to be feared? Coming out of an Engineer, there could be a hint of an intelligent being, add that to it's destructive aggressive capabilities and you've got a worthy adversary against the Engineer race.hellrasinbrasin said:Because of the reverence that that mural had over the other Mural. Very much how a specific painting or sculpture of Christ would carry reverence by a christian or a catholic..The Being crucified in the center of the mural if you look at the design of the head fits the design of the creature born at the end ... a 2nd coming if you will
NightCrawler said:Well, if i remember correctly, before it had been confirmed as sort of a reboot-prequel to Alien, there were two movies, Prometheus and the sequel Paradise.
Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:What I'm specifically talking about is lack of an interesting conflict.The Engineers have already tried to kill Shaw once before (granted that specific engineer may have had a psychopathic episode, we'll never know because he is dead) and the Engineer species intended to orbital bombard Earth with bio-weapons.
There really isn't a lot to do with a sequel that doesn't involve Shaw running away 99% of the film realizing how dumb her idea is, which if that is the sequel I'm sure you're going to love it.

Draculoid said:I just don't see this process and outcome as being anything unique or special come the end of the movie. Are you implying that all xenomorphs have been wiped out completely and this is now the only one? It's still only one and on an abandoned planet....it will need quite the explanation for that xenomorph to have more relevance.

I'm willing to bet that the R stuff had more to do with what was and was not shown during the c-section scene. The MPAA have very finicky rules about that kind of stuff.IncantatioN said:What I don't get is that if it got a good R rating, why didn't they just put everything on it and give it all the R stuff they MAYBE withheld on. If those were just character development scenes, I'd still be up for it.

Reminds me of Hellraiser.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Well, what do we have here. Amidst all the discussion on Prometheus, fans have seemed to miss a clue that continues the story beyond what we see in this movie. MovieViral points out of that if you stay to the very end of the credits, there is a Weyland Corp tag (not a scene, just a logo - seen above) that includes the date 10. 11. 12. prominently displayed. I'd heard mentions of this, but many played it off as the possible DVD release date of Prometheus, which would (and still does) make sense. But there's actually a viral website associated with it and that comes with a new video featuring a young Peter Weyland.
At first glance, the tag just contains some basic information - Weyland Corp, which is a nifty little bumper, plus a link to the timeline website and that date. Fans following the viral should already be familiar with the viral timeline, which has provided many clues and lots of valuable information. For example, in this case, 10-11-2012 is the date when Weyland Incorporates. It states: "Weyland Corporation is recognized as a legal entity and corporation under United States law and receives their Certificate of Incorporation from the Companies House in the United Kingdom." So it's when they go from Weyland Corp to Weyland Industries, must be a major change. The new site was then discovered at WhatIs101112.com with even more clues...
So what's on this new 10.11.12. website? A lot of interesting information which seems to ask even more questions rather than answer any. But there may be some big clues here. One of the key components is a new video, a short 30-second video featuring a young Peter Weyland (played by Guy Pearce) from the TED 2023 Talk. In it, he only says one line: "I am a law only for my kind, I am no law for all." But there's also the tag on the video itself: Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The title refers to the book by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. "Much of the work deals with ideas such as the 'eternal recurrence of the same', the parable on the 'death of God', and the 'prophecy' of the Übermensch," it states. Watch the video:
The website also features a 3D render of a book with the title written on it "What is Great in Man is That He is a Bridge and Not an End." It's another quote from Nietzsche's book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which all of this must be heavily connected to, given the numerous references so far.But what does 10.11.12 really mean? We're not entirely sure yet. The site has five "modules", currently only at "1-A1", so we may have four more of these to go through, plus four more months until October anyway.Plus, for everyone who has now seen Prometheus, all of these connections are starting to make sense. Weyland wants to meet his maker and wants to support a voyage to meet these gods, whoever they may be, since he is in search of power as well.
