Comments on: Prometheus 2 to Explore New Territories for the Franchise, Will Try to Avoid Xenomorphs! https://masterherald.com/prometheus-2-to-explore-new-territories-for-the-franchise-will-try-to-avoid-xenomorphs/9918/ Fri, 17 Jul 2015 12:33:52 +0000 hourly 1 By: Victor Hugo https://masterherald.com/prometheus-2-to-explore-new-territories-for-the-franchise-will-try-to-avoid-xenomorphs/9918/#comment-66344 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 12:33:52 +0000 http://masterherald.com/?p=9918#comment-66344 The problem with Prometheus is akin to “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. In that movie, all the important things with Indiana Jones happened in a couple of minutes: the scar, the whip, the hat.

In “Star Wars:Episode III” all the bad things to Anakin happened in a matter of hours.

In Prometheus, the Xenomorph were created out of bad combinations in a matter of hours, instead of being an ancient alien civilization.

The “Space Jockey” was meant to be a full alien being, not some Star Tek humanoid with bad make-up.

So, a little less anthropocentrism is necessary to write a full ALIEN movie.

The plot was severely underdeveloped and ambiguous. There was too much room for speculation. I feel audiences would have wanted to know more about the origin of the engineers which was not elaborated upon as much as it should have.

I also wish that they addressed why the engineers wanted to destroy mankind. It would have been better to do that and then have Elizabeth/David return to Earth or travel to their planet to learn more.

It’s also been a proper while since the first film was released. The problem with waiting so long to make a sequel is that people tend to forget and move on. Unless it’s as popular as Avatar, you can’t afford to wait. Usually a sequel is released within 3 years of it’s predecessor.

I feel as though it could have been a stand alone film and should have closed up the whole story by providing insight into the origin of the engineers and in turn the Alien franchise.
