Prometheus’ 2 biggest problems were finally fixed 12 years after the extraterrestrial prequel

Although Prometheus Had a few important problems the power Foreigner Prequel less pleasant, both problems have been solved by the series since then. The Foreigner Films vary in terms of quality and when it is original Foreigner Director Ridley Scott returned to the franchise in 2012, the series had reached a low point. The original Foreigner Timetime that runs from 1979 Foreigner Until 1997 Alien: Resurrectionhad lost the approval of critics and fans with his later excursions.

While Foreigner and his continuation of 1986 Aliens were viewed, both 90s Alien 3 and 1997 Alien: Resurrection were gaps. The Alien against Predator The films left even worse in 2004 Alien against Predator Appear terrible reviews and 2007 Aliens against Predator: Requiem somehow exceed his predecessor. In this context, the mixed ratings met that met Prometheus Were the best reception that the franchise had enjoyed for decades. However, Prometheus It still had important problems that quickly noticed both fans and reviewers.

Prometheus had two major problems that made the film difficult to enjoy

The occupation of Prometheus made inexplicable decisions, and their tradition was opaque

Prometheus had two main problems that stopped Foreigner Are you like a classic introduction to the series. The first was that the characters, an allegedly well -trained, professional team of scientists, engineers and archaeologists, made some irresponsible decisions that the average viewer could call meaningless. The second was that the focus was on the engineers and black goose bumps, Prometheus made the Xenomorph life cycle even more complicated than it used to Foreigner Films.

Although Michael Fassbender Prometheus The character David was fascinating, his plans for the black goose bumps and their links to the Xenomorph were impossible. It was not clear whether Xenomorphic previously existed Prometheus’The story started and David tried to turn her DNA around, or if they did not yet exist. Nd he tried to create it as a biowap. In addition, it was not clear how the black goosebumps contributed to the creation of an Xenomorphic, and what Link Xenomorphs had with the engineers.

Fortunately, these two frustrating problems in the continuation of 2024 were treated well Alien: Romulus. Although in 2017 directly Prometheus Consequence Alien: BUND I failed to make the Xenomorph’s life cycle clearer, director Fede Alvarez Alien: Romulus offered a simpler exhibition that has effectively clarified things. Alien: Romulus solved PrometheusThe biggest secret by confirming that David reversed the DNA of an existing alien and not invented the first Xenomorph. In the meantime, the bad decisions of the heroes of the film were much easier to apologize.

Alien: Romulus ‘Young line -up avoided Prometheus’ “stupid characters” mistakes

Alien: Romulus’ inexperienced heroes had every reason to screw it up

Not just the occupation of Alien: Romulus much younger than that of PrometheusWhat seemed more and more inexperienced, but they were also not experts in their field. Instead, Alien: Romulus‘Young heroes were colonists affected with poverty who tried to escape their miserable existence on a Weyland-Yutani mining planet by holding a trip over the abandoned space with the title. The stupid decisions made by Alien: Romulus‘The protagonists were terrifyingly credible thanks to their inexperienceAnd that made them more likeable and more tragic than annoying.

Ridley Scott changed Alien Forever 13 years ago, and the franchise is now much better

Ridley Scotts Prometheus changed the extraterrestrial franchise forever, but it was in 2024 by Alien: Romulus who found the changes in the split prequel in stone.

Like that Alien: Romulus successfully solved PrometheusThe stupid problem with the stupid character was not to make the characters much smarter and clearer, but by making it inexperienced and unfortunate. It was difficult to observe how the young colonists of Xenomorphs and the surviving Android rook of the ship were overlaid at every turn, but it was also thoroughly credible because they hardly had an idea of ​​life outside of their hell. Her fates were tragic, but critical, credible and rooted in their characterization.

Alien: Romulus made the Xenomorph life less confusing than Prometheus

Rook sketched the mysterious life cycle of the Xenomorph

Meanwhile the confusing Xenomorph life cycle of Prometheus was determined in the most direct way. A new shoot at Ian Holm’s Foreigner Character returned Alien: Romulus To keep an expository speech and display a video that shows how Weyland-Yutani used the Xenomorph DNA. It turned out that the company tried to use the Black Goo to make super workers who would be more resistant to the challenges of life in space and enable the company to shorten more corners and earn more money.

Instead, this inevitably led to the creation of Alien: Romulus‘S terrible human/Xenomorph hybrid, a monster name. The existence of this monster explained where the experiments went wrong, but also gave a probable answer to why David made his strange neomorphic experiments Alien: BUND. It seems that David acted under Weyland-Yutani’s instructions, which means Alien: Romulus retrospectively made sense of David’s strange behavior in both Prometheus And Alien: BUND. Like Rook, David was ready to create countless human life to create the perfect organism.

Due to the clarification of Weyland-Yutanis role in David’s experiments, Alien: Romulus gave Prometheus A clearer place in the Foreigner Franchise time bar. Technically speaking, the film was defined 30 years earlier ForeignerBut the connections between them were weak.

Prometheus Could have ended with a setup for endet Foreigner’S opening scene, but it was not clear how the characters from the prequel were connected to the heroes of the original film and how their events affected the rest of the series. Alien: Romulus explained why Weyland-Yutani such a large amount of the Xenomorph of von von von von Alienssimilar to Prometheus Provided that the nostromo answers in the original film. This gave the series a satisfactory full crevice count.

Now that Prometheus‘Place in the Foreigner Franchise is clear that the series can be continued without constantly having to return to its prequels. It would be fun to see the story of Fassbenders David in a future episode, but his role is no longer confusing and unclear. Similar, Alien: RomulusUnderstandably, tragically poorly equipped main characters offer a perfect blueprint for future excursions. New films in the Foreigner Franchise can stay away from the excessive ambiguity PrometheusInstead, in the effective monster film, which made the series primarily a hit and at the same time retained a little riddle.
