1. "Prometheus" can be used as a prequel to "Aliens 1-4" because it answers several questions in the "Aliens" series
- where did the crescent ship and the alien come from? Where did the information received by the interstellar cargo ship Nostromo in Alien 1 come from?
1) The crescent-shaped spaceship that appeared in "Alien 1 and 2" is the starship of the "ancient people", and the "ancient people" are the creators of the current human beings on earth.
2) The original planet where the aliens appeared in "Alien 1 and 2" was a space base of the "ancient people", which may function as a military base. The base and the aliens in it should all be destroyed by nuclear weapons at the end of "Alien 2", so the story of "Alien 3" takes place on another planet.
3) The "ancient people" researched a creature in the space base (the larvae were earthworm-shaped -> cobra-shaped -> octopus-shaped from early to later), and the purpose was to prepare to send it to the earth to destroy the human beings they created. However, during the research process, the creature lost control and attacked the "ancient people". All the "ancient people" in the base were killed except for one leader who survived. The surviving leader had to close the base and enter the life capsule to hibernate to save his life.
In 2094, human scientists on Earth drove the "Prometheus" starship to the primitive planet based on the star map clues on many ancient murals, hoping to find the secret of the origin of human beings on Earth. In the end, they found the answer and awakened the surviving "ancient" leader in the base, but the human "creator" was not friendly, and the two sides fought directly.
At the same time, due to the arrival of human beings on Earth, the closed state of the base was broken, causing dangerous creatures to reproduce again. In order to survive, surviving Earth human scientist Elizabeth Shaw designed a dangerous creature that had evolved to the shape of an octopus to kill the "Ancient Man" leader. In fact, the larvae of the dangerous organisms are parasitic in the body of the "ancient people", and finally the mature body bursts out of the host's abdomen. Since the organism has some of the host's appearance characteristics after leaving the host, the dangerous organism is finally able to rely on it to enter the outside world. The figure of a person standing on two legs is the later "alien". The first human-shaped alien born at the end of the film "Prometheus" should be the alien queen who appeared in "Alien 2", and the alien eggs that appeared in "Alien 1 and 2" were all produced by it, and also It's all its descendants.
4) Finally, Elizabeth Shaw, the only survivor of the "Prometheus", with the help of an artificial man, drove an "ancient" starship to leave the original planet and left the planet with a dangerous "alien" Biological warning message. A few years later, the interstellar commercial company where the interstellar cargo ship "Nosmo" in "Alien 1" is located intercepted the information left by Elizabeth Shaw, but the company's executives thought of capturing the "Alien" back to Earth for biological and chemical weapons. Research. So they covered up the truth of the information and sent the "Nosmo" to the original planet where the "Alien" was located, which led to the occurrence of the story described in "Alien 1".
So far, the movie "Prometheus" has completed the connection with the "Alien series". The connection is not very good. Due to the huge technical gap caused by the different shooting years of the film, the "Prometheus" spacecraft and other equipment in "Prometheus" look significantly better than "in the later era". "The "Nosmo" in "Alien 1" is much more advanced.
2. The plot of "Prometheus 2"
"Prometheus" answers the questions of the "Alien series" while generating new suspense
- where did the "ancient people" come from? Why did they create humans? And then to exterminate humans?
This is the answer Elizabeth Shaw is looking for when Elizabeth Shaw leaves at the end of "Prometheus", and it is obviously also the foreshadowing of the filming of "Prometheus 2".
1) "Where did the ancients come from?" is just another version of the age-old question of "Where did the people of the earth come from?" Various academic circles have speculated, explored and debated for thousands of years, and will continue to do so. As a filmmaker, it's simpler, as long as you are bold and innovative enough to continue the story.
2) As for why the "ancient people" created human beings? And then to exterminate humans?
a personal imagination.
The "ancient people" come from another galaxy far away in the universe. They have been highly developed and no longer need to rely on labor to create living matter, so that they have lost the motivation and inspiration to continue to develop. During the interstellar cruise, they discovered the earth, a planet with a similar space environment and natural conditions to their planet, which is suitable for the survival of advanced life, so they "clone" the earth human beings with the same genes as them on the earth. At first, their idea was relatively simple, with some research nature, and they wanted to use the created "earth humans" to build the earth so that it could serve as a space base or even a backup home for them in the future.
With the help of "ancient people", human beings on earth gradually established themselves on the earth and continued to evolve, and civilization continued to develop. In the early days, they regarded "ancient people" as gods and worshipped them. Thousands of years later, the human civilization on earth has also been highly developed. They began to explore the mysteries of the universe and its own origin, and finally they found that "gods" are not gods, but just an "alien" life form. Although the human beings on Earth found that they were created by such "aliens", they did not want to exist in the universe as their vassals, and were even less willing to be controlled. So the conflict between Earth humans and alien "ancient people" broke out and eventually evolved into an interstellar war. In the end, the "ancient people" who were the creators were still more powerful. They finally chose to exterminate the human beings on earth and completely wiped out the human civilization on the earth, leaving only some fragmented murals and relics that have withstood the destruction. This is why ancient civilizations on Earth suddenly disappeared.
After that, the "ancient people" changed their way of thinking about the earth. They found that the process of creating new earthlings and allowing them to evolve, evolve and develop on their own is very interesting and valuable. After the development of human civilization to a certain extent, the diversity and creativity can even bring new inspiration and creativity to the "ancient people". Inspiration makes the technology and civilization of the "ancient people" further develop. So the "ancient people" adjusted their thinking and regarded the earth as a testing ground. They created a generation of human beings on the earth to help them open their intelligence and survive on the earth (mainly, they were able to survive under the threat of other beasts in the early days, and various creatures other than human beings were also created by "ancient people" for the purpose of giving Humans provide a diverse and threatening natural environment that promotes the development of human wisdom and civilization). After that, let the human beings on earth evolve and develop naturally, while the "ancient people" observe the evolution and development process of human civilization on earth in space, and draw inspiration for their own use. At the same time, they have established military outposts on primitive planets that are relatively close to the earth (relative to their technology). Whenever the development of human civilization on earth may threaten them, the "ancient people" will destroy human beings on earth and create new ones. The next generation of earth human beings, and so on. . . In the current generation of earth humans, the "ancient people" chose to create a dangerous creature as a biological and chemical weapon to destroy the earth people, and set the time in 2012. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred at the military base. Decades later, in 2094, humans on earth have
the ability to come to the military base of the "ancient people", so the story of "Prometheus" happened, and it is time for humans on earth to discover the truth once again. . .
