      @specialk4006 please don't tell me that you liked that mess. People laughed in the cinema during that ridiculous flute scene. And the reveai of who created the xenomorphs was so dumb it makes me still angry just to think about it. And sometimes I wonder, if directors ever read critics. The only thing people hated about Prometheus was the illogical behaviour of the scientists, but he managed to top that with the useless characters in Covenant. Ridley Scott took a huge dump on his own franchise with this.
      If you want to see a good movie about the dangers of AI watch Ex Machina instead.

    All these alternative endings sound better than the ending we actually got, Shaw's hostility towards David in the deleted scenes make more sense. The whole film is crying out for a DC with the cut scenes reinstated as well as some trims to make it more coherent

    • @super-paw
      @super-paw Год назад +1

      @@galekeoma7276unfortunately it is the movie studio that decides the plot and ending… I imagine Ridley was pissed…. Because if he had a free roam in the movie it would have been entirely different and better than what we got. The xenomorph is the cash cow for the studio and they want to insert it as much as possible… is the reason why the engineers are barely covered in the movie.

    In the original Alien, they said in one of the many behind-the-scenes-docs, that the idea was that the derelict ship was an ancient war-ship, that carried bio-weapons for a long forgotten intergalactic war... or something to that effect. Since predators are also part of this universe, then an alternative story to all of this could be that the aliens was the ultimate bio-weapon of the engineers in their war again the predators, which they lost. But the predators keep on fighting the aliens, to cleanse the universe of the last remaints of their hated enemy. And maybe that humans were created to fight this was as grunts, but that never came to be, since the engineers lost the war, and became extinct.

    I really liked these ideas for alternate endings.
    I think David drinking the black blood would have been great for movie 3, if they ever do it.
    Would have been cool to see more dialogue from the Engineer prior to him going rage mode on the crew. When I saw it in theaters, to me it didn't make any sense and I needed some context to understand why he went rage mode when they created us in the movie lore.

  • @tulsibeepat3453
    @tulsibeepat3453 Год назад +2

    It is pleasing that all the other endings fit seemlessly into the main movie . To me a mix of the tie-into Alien and where Shaw gets her wish to go to the homeworld . It's mentioned in a comic toe in but the Engineer weapons are very powerful😊

  • @ronjon7942
    @ronjon7942 7 месяцев назад

    Kroft, I'm addicted to your narratives. I'm so enthralled with the Alien universe, and your episodes make the series so much more enjoyable and interesting. Thanks, brother.
    Edit - I can't decide, they're all excellent! I'm gonna have to watch this a few more times to digest the possibilities, although #7 is intriguing. Shaw going to the Engineers' home world would make a great story. I could see her return to Earth being the 2nd Coming of Christ, and were it me writing, I'd end the story on a positive note Shaw saves humanity, just to keep things simple. Her return as the Messiah obviously would be difficult to reconcile with Catholic doctrine and prophecy.
    Amazing work, Kroft. In the past, I veered away from alternative endings since they weren't 'real,' but discovered how fun they can be, and how much they actually add to the canonical storyline.

  • @Dean-qt3rp
    @Dean-qt3rp Год назад +3

    Hey Kroft, I always enjoy your Prometheus videos. they are great. I am still hoping for an actual Prometheus follow up, where Ridley doesn't just kill off all the Engineers because they didn't want to write a script to include them in an Alien movie...that idea, I thought was chicken shit...

  • @GreyplayComics
    @GreyplayComics Год назад +3

    I would combine a few ideas from each ending: while Shaw is dealing with the embryo in her stomach, David and crew awaken the engineer who kills the crew before dying due to infection from the previous outbreak, David escapes back to Prometheus where he ingests some black goo undergoing the bizarre change telling Shaw he has overcome his programming and is going to see the engineers prompting her to go with him. The trilobite now fully grown managed to sneak on board the derelict with them attacking and impregnating David causing the ship to crash on lv426, when Shaw wakes up David informs her, he can feel it inside him, David then tells her to keep it contained he sealed himself inside the chair armor and in order to save herself to activate the ships beacon then to go into hyper sleep before the ultra-morph erupts from his chest cutting to black.

  • @pietrayday9915
    @pietrayday9915 Год назад +1

    I think we got the best ending we could have hoped for, by the sound of it. My only regret based on what I'm hearing in this video is that the short scene where Shaw says something about God never trying to kill her, and David explaining about Paradise, was cut: I think that fit in really well with the ending we did get, adding to it, without overdoing it. That said, I do think it was a wise idea to replace Shaw callously throwing David's head into the bag with the gentler apology: it feels like this is more in character with the way Shaw had been portrayed, and with the movie's themes... Shaw ends up a sort of unfulfilled mother figure for David, and it's too late for that to matter by the tragic end of 'Prometheus', but it works for me that Shaw would feel bad that this is how creation turned out for David. I also think it was a wise idea to cut the fight scene down to what we saw in the official ending: the final fight didn't need to be any longer, and a longer fight would have been unnecessary and gratuitous.
    On the other hand, I think it might have been possible to expand on the final dialogue between Shaw and David a little, to bring a little more closure to the movies themes about frustrated creation, without burdening the final movie too much with unnecessary exposition and action - it feels like this scene could have used another line or two, another minute to wrap up these themes, but I'm not entirely sure what the best way to do that would have been, what else needed to be done here (there's a reason I'm not a professional writer!) It kinda feels like the equivalent of this moment was handled a little more elegantly in 'Alien' and 'Aliens' (with a motherly Ripley putting Jonesie the Cat and later Bishop and Newt to bed before cryosleep), in any event, and it feels like a little something was missing here in the form of a motherly Shaw doing much the same for David to bring just a little more closure to these story arcs! After all, twisted takes on motherhood are the fuel for themes of all the movies in this series, with Shaw in this film being unable to have children of her own, and David's role as creation to Weyland's cold, distant, selfish father figure providing a rather pitiful, bitter, and petulant child figure, with these themes dovetailing nicely into those of the Engineers as frustrated, distant, neglectful/abusive creators of humanity. Shaw's apology to David - presumably an apology from creator to imperfect creation, mother to a disturbed and dangerous child - almost hits the mark, but still seems incomplete somehow, and only required, I think, another minute of resolution!
    Still, I'm glad that a lot of exposition was cut, and that some of the original drafts got the additional work they were given - some of the alterations reinforce the movie's themes better than the original drafts would have, and much of the deleted content sounds like it mostly fell into show-don't-tell territory, better saved for later to serve a more confident and ambitious sequel than we eventually got instead with 'Covenant', which sounds like it was pretty heavily rewritten to be "dumbed down" if you will, because of the negative audience reaction to 'Prometheus'.... A better sequel could have expanded on the "Deacon" mythos, the Engineers' sterility, and so on - 'Covenant' was most of the way there with David's ghastly, deranged medical experiments, but felt a little half-baked in what we were given. (I only saw it once, though, so maybe it will grow on me on a subsequent viewing - still, I feel like 'Covenant' might have been a better place to explore the whole "Deacon" thing, drawing parallels between David and the seemingly all-male population of Engineers as sterile, reclusive, wizard-types who could not properly father natural children of their own, and were thus left to create imperfect mockeries of children in the form of biomechanical weaponry!)

    I just had a thought. What if the Gene-engineers we see seeding earth and other worlds are a faction of Gene-engineers that wanted to create life similar to their own? But, the one(s) we later see are NOT aligned with their goal and see anything their adversaries made as an abominations?
    We assumed their society was unified, but what if it wasn't?
    Two different Geen-engineer ships are seen in the movie, with vastly different appearances. The grounded vessel may have been trying to stop [hunt] their wayward brothers and exterminate their creations.
    But their mission may have been interrupted by their weapon's malfunction [Xenomorph] or possibly a mutiny aboard their ship which in turn caused their weapon to be activated, maybe by accident or accidentally on purpose!!!

    Thank you for these great and profound videos! To me, the best alternative ending is the one I'm which Shaw kills the megamorph and goes with the help of David to find answers at engineers' homework.

    Love them all mate, the ending with Shaw becoming the new messiah would, in my opinion be the most interesting, finally we reach the level of Gene Roddenberry`s Star Trek envisioned Utopia.. Great work M8.

    It'll be a dream come true if ALEX GARLAND comes on board for a TV show exploring this, staying true to RIDLEY SCOTT ideas
