I choose to ignore the questions that weren't answered. Though that engineers running away from something thing is a pretty good question.

[Kuya]

i really want to know what sort of fucked up thing was kicking their asses

[Kuya]

i mean i can take some unanswered questions, but they were just too many in one movie for me to handle

[Kuya]

eh

"Are you a robot?"


best pickup line ever.

and it worked too, got that bitch hot

[Kuya]

i needed these religious references like i needed a cyst on my dick

[shepardG]

Y'all really want to know what the engineers were running from and why there was "green goo"?

One word: Predators.

I was taking a shit and that epifany came to me and made the most sense. Predators vs. Engineers, two completely polar opposites

Another set of walkers. Some kind of face huggers. Some kind of xenomorph. People seem to think the xenomorph shown at the end of the movie was the first one, however they had murals with them on it. It could have been just that.

A lot of those weren't unanswered questions...they were questions about things that didn't make sense.

It was a xenomorph outbreak. Like if you are a scientist working in a bio weapons lab and u drop smallpox or someshit on someones face, except in their factory their shit turns u into monsters that rape u.

... which still makes them unanswered.

[thetruepandagod]

I mean it's pretty much answered in the movie, literally the first fucking thing the nigga captain says is "looks like a fucking weapon factory to me". And then they are all extinct obviously due to some fuck up WITHIN their bio weapon factory. And then they even show you them RUNNING from something. The only question is what happened to the xenomorph that killed them, and that prolly has no answer as it was written very poorly and will prolly be retconned in a sequal showing some kind of sleeping statis alien in some random ass place.

Not really, but maybe what I mean by the two types of questions is differs from your meaning.

An unanswered question leaves us wondering because the creators didn't want/think it was important to answer a question. There is probably some valid answers, but it's left up in the air for interpretation. Questions about shit that doesn't make sense on the other hand are questions drawn from the facts presented that don't have a valid answer because they point out a flaw in the writers work.

An example of an unanswered question: Was David testing the black stuff on that guy to see if it would help Wallen's condition? (this is an ok question to leave to the audience)
An example of a question that doesn't make sense: Why did everyone take off their helmets just because the air was breathable? I bet they felt fucking stupid when one of them got sick (sure it was the black goo that did it, but it could have just as easily been an alien virus) This is something a group of doctorate level scientists would never ever do, and therefore it doesn't make sense for it to have happened.

I felt like that was a pretty large logical leap based on what the captain knew.

afk work

Are you saying a black man can't make an educated guess from no basis of reason whatsoever?

Yeah, okay. I thought the helmet thing and the running away from the rolling ship thing were pretty silly. Also the timeline seems a bit wonky (as it relates to Alien), unless there are markedly more developed Aliens elsewhere (it's already been established that the planets aren't the same, which I actually think is a bit of a shame, given the way the ship landed & that it'd be nice to tie up that question from Alien). Things that I don't mind that were unanswered were the "what is the nature of the black goo" type questions (and the mealworms + goo = tentacley thing -> zombie human; human + goo = asplodey head -> squid stuff); the "what was the nature of that facility" question, the "why'd they make/want to destroy us" stuff, etc. I think that Demo answers the question about what they were running from, the mural is a good point. Why one managed to survive, however, is a different question. Also, I put the David/goo question in the "David's a dick" category.
