thank you to squirrels for letting me know that in the ridley scott alien universe jesus was an engineer, not a carpenter

[squirrels_oh_no]

And I watched an "everything great with prometheus" video today and apparently Jesus was an Engineer was actually cut, but then they never explained why they were still pissed at humans, so I'm just gonna go with Jesus was an Engineer.

[peddlestools]

is there anything we should know that was going to happen in the non-existent sequel that was supposed to connect prometheus and this movie?

[squirrels_oh_no]

I think they cover it really fucking fast from what I've heard as to what Shaw and David did during their adventure to the Engineer Homeworld.

[peddlestools]

it's still canon if it was in the first draft imo

is it bad that i kind of want to commission an engineer crucifix for my home? but with the cool helmet, lest people don't get the reference and assume i'm not a heathen

[squirrels_oh_no]

Here's another option that ties it into the series.

Don't forget, Ripley was also Jesus.

[peddlestools]

the difference is i would actually worship ripley

[squirrels_oh_no]

I still think it's funny that in Ripley's perspective, the events of Alien, Aliens, and Alien Cubed take place in 29 days LMAO. She went through some shit in less than a month. (Or slightly longer based on the director's cut of Aliens.)

it’s all original sin stuff tbh

[squirrels_oh_no]

in that case, His Dark Materials did that bit better, and they explicitly mentioned it and it wasn't in the cut part of the script LMAO
