The more I learn about Singular Point the more I love it
kinda looks like a hybrid between anguirus and godzilla
What I’m imagining is hilarious
All very interesting comments to be sure, "A superior species no doubt." I think you may have had it correct the first time BigDave....
"Maybe his QUEEN could be a Female Synthetic Construct who may arrive in another Human Ship at some point? His Xenomorph does lack the more Bio-Mechanical HR Giger Atheistic and RS said the Xenomorph has some EVOLVING to do before we get to ALIEN
IF some Androids who will appear are PART Organic/Synthetic then i do SUSPECT that they will become the FINAL PART of HOW we get to our Xenomorphs in ALIEN etc."
In the first Alien if you all remember correctly Ash was analyzing Cain's cells before removing the facehugger?
Dallas asked Ash, "What's it doing to him?" Ash replied, "It's replacing his cell's with polarized silicone...and feeding him oxygen. If we take it off it could kill him."
Let us all consider the fork in the road here. Maybe David creates the Xeno. Maybe David does not create the Xeno.
Any way you look at it the facehugger on LV426 was taking an inorganic element "silicon" then binding the silicon to O, C, and H to make silicone. So we must speculate now that the Xeno, facehuggers are all more android-computer hybrids than bio-synthetic. These things can easily withstand the vacuum of space etc.
Looking at the Xeno vision from the last movie was maybe a clue as well that these creatures are hybrid computers. The fact that they have a bio-molecular scaffolding to ingest organics is interesting for the movies; but, in reality is more convoluted unnecessary non-sense. These large Chaps could just as easily get to work making black goo nano robots that wipe out an entire planet and then they all sit back and smoke cigars! LOOOOOOL
Anyway at this point there is too fine a line to draw unnecessary distinctions in what is bio-mechanical, what is more robot, android, nano fabrication....
It has been more than 40 years since I was first introduced to this kind of science and I really want to move on with more interesting concepts than intermediaries in the dark with sharp metal teeth.
We could spend months or years debating such things and yet I find there is so much more we could be studying.
BigDave this in no way is being negative about your post. I think you very clever when it comes to hypotheticals. I waited so many years for a real look at what should have been a more fully developed out premise in Prometheus, only to be let down and have this android David steal the show and everything else evidently - along with the ships kitchen sink.
We were supposed to get these 15 foot tall Engineer GODS! and we were handed David's lesser ambitions. For what I do not know. David is the Antithesis of everything we were supposed to see in Prometheus...Stealing fire from the God's is an old tale in itself. We never saw any God's in Prometheus the way that movie was made. Those Engineers did not look even close to entering God like hyper-dimensional existence.
The Engineers should have been gatekeepers of some kind and the real God's revealed. RS could of at least done that for all of us yet instead he palmed us fools gold in the form of David taking us all on an even longer fools errand.
If RS every shows his face again in this franchise he better deliver something more substantial and real this time. No I do not even think there will be a next time - Disney put everything in the vault. Good for Disney, at least the larger mistakes made in these movies will not make it to the big screen again...you can just watch in private if you wish. Then again to do anything real with this pile of convoluted mess is near impossible. David's queen? or something transcendental, something never scene before in movie history?
You all know what they say....Go big or go home but do not come just half way with it.
Toho Godzilla in a few years:
d o u g *gratuitous sparkle emoji*
at least he was nice enough to do that
the monster distracts you after a minute that takes too long.
Ok so we have the
Emporer Cotylorhynchus
Second Hand Dimitrodon
Cynognathus are the Royal Gaurds
i did not but visualizing that is gross and painful in its own right, thanks.
it's gonna be baaaad...IM STRONG..I CAN TAKE IT WHEN IT HAPPENS
how long does the scene last
KNOCK KNOCK IT'S KNUCKLES
they are VERY close to mammals if i'm right?
Dimetrodon is second-in-command, because everyone loves dimetrodon.
based on the closeness to mammals they have layed leathery eggs like monotremes (platypi and echidna)
Cotylorhynchus is the only one capable of being our leader
yeah some did (some might've had whiskers too)
the are basically somewhat proto-mammals after all
Ok then, Also I just learned some synapsids had fur
It’s not stepping on two nails, if you thought that
pointy :)
n o
i'll uncomfortably watch it when it happens lol
You want to hear what was worse than the nail?
I’m too lazy, but there’s a really weird look tyrannosaur discovered, it has a super pointy snout
ok :)
wait, what other things were found in 2014? I'm not super into the discovery side of paleontology
They somehow made something more painful than stepping on a nail.
*r e e l s* eeeee-
yes tis a good meme.
Welp, can't wait to see it!
It’s good. HORROR SEQUELS ARE NEVER GOOD AND THIS ONE WAS. Yeah it actually had, not decent, GOOD writing.
I see the meme
Also they topped a lot of things, and one of those was the nail one. They somehow made something more painful than stepping on a nail.
Let’s talk about Dakoraptor then
it’s an early design for doug
haha i'm just a big fan of dakotaraptor lol
oof havent seen it yet :(
dad still hasn't picked me up
no spoilers, but was it good? (also that picture the trailer is freezed on is meme-worthy, according to me and my screwed humor)
It looks like a spiky Doug
funny how people always call the JP forums the 'dino forums' when these are the REAL dino forums.
anyways,
synapsids are cool :D
Biology irl is super screwed lol
it can be weirder than fiction. people always say that but it's because it's true
I disagree. The designer of Ultima wanted it to look like a actual living thing. The Legs would actually have to be that big to support its body, according to physics. Many animals with a similar body plan have tails even longer than that. So I don’t think it’s getting rid of biology at all. Biology would naturally get weirder the bigger something gets
Maybe she's playing a surrogate mother for some of the brood? But why?
I love how disproportionate it is. It's as if Godzilla's biology in Shin Godzilla and Singular Point simply doesn't give a damn. Whatever makes him a more monstrous wrecking machine, it's in.
Why show two facehuggers being recovered? Very odd. You would think showing the audience one would do the trick? "Oooh! he has a facehugger!! Cool! Maybe one apiece for Tennessee and Daniels? ( If they wanted to suggest that, they should of had David look in their direction. "One for you Mr. T 'glance' and one for you 'evil glance' miss Daniels..." )
i think it really looks like a little version of godzilla.
