@dracula - yeah I get that but they already went for Bale being run down and battle worn in TDKR and Keatons Batman barely moved any quicker and more freely than an old man would anyway.

@emeraldtaurus - I have a feeling the things that were more an issue in Prometheus (things I had problems with, anyway) were more from the John Spaits draft than Lindelof. like my biggest stretch was probably all the behavior from Rafe Spall's and Sean Harris' characters, I think that wasn't really much Lindelof

@emeraldtaurus - okay, not really sure I get where you're coming from. well and FWIW, I'm not at all like a hardcore Alien devotee or anything, still have never seen Alien3 (particularly funny as Fincher's long been my favorite modern director), saw 4 once and none of those other "vs" films ever at all.
I always liked and was intrigued by what Lindelof had to say in "there's very little compelling or suspenseful in inevitability" when addressing the very notion of prequels, of anything. And that just because Prometheus takes place in the same universe as Alien and previous in the timeline, that does not mean that Alien would be the sequel to Prometheus. He even put it that Prometheus could have two babies, as it were, one grows to be Alien while one grows up to be what's truly a more direct sequel to it (though this was said well before Covenant was starting to get made, much less it being released).
According to some stuff I've seen said by Lindelof, John Spaits as the first writer on the project, his version focused more on what were considered the same major landmarks in the Alien franchise, the fully as they were xenomorphs, chest-bursters, LV426 (or whatever exactly number that original planet was) and so really what would much be the point.
What Lindelof helped write totally did get into focusing more on the Engineers (the 'space jockeys') and what they were about.

@emeraldtaurus - it wasnt not if you paid attention. prometheus and alien covenant are underrated. it was trying to combine aspects of god, religion, and science to create an origin for xenomorphs. then the human sacrifices were supposed to be punished for trying to play god. its a shame that r scott will not get to finish.

damon lindelouff is known to make thought provoking films or shows that have no answers similar to what he did in left overs

@SmokingMan - In an episode filled with revelations, I don't think any hit as hard as realizing that the theatre playing "black Oklahoma" was the same one that young Will was sitting in while his home was being torn apart.
The theme of appropriation runs so deep within this Watchmen's greater thesis, both meta-textually in that DC/Lindelof are appropriating Moore's original work (I re-read the letter he wrote when production started, and he even acknowledges that) and in the actual text/subtext between Vietnam now being an American state (much like Hawaii in the real world) thanks to Manhattan, and the obvious case of what happened to Hooded Justice's legacy. In that regard it's pretty heart-breaking to see the remnants of a tragedy being re-purposed to serve schlocky re-tellings of musicals as forms of "empowerment" as opposed to it being a memoriam. It would be like having a Music Man revival playing at Ground Zero.
Also liked how Ozy's sexuality is still ambiguous (I know Snyder coded him as gay, but I always viewed him as asexual like Kovacs). Also that cut to the credits was so [frick]ing satisfying.

@Jeight8 - Aren't you the guy who trolls BMD's comment sections, lmao

@TheUnworthyThor - Lindelof's coming from a place of reverence here though; he loves the original comic book too much to adapt it in a straight-forward manner if he was given the task.

@TheUnworthyThor - Then again, some of the best movies based on books are the ones that take more liberties. Stanley Kubrick' The Shining and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner are masterpieces of their respective genres and better movies than all the Potter movies combined.
