Hmm. No Damon Lindelof? Oh, good. This might turn out to be somewhat competent.

Re: Paradise (Prometheus Sequel)
We need a writer who actually knows how to write worthy philosophical dialogue and character motivations, as well as being well equipped with the fantastic, the action, the suspense and horror.
It severely lacked in the first one that none of the things discovered really generated any kind of debate or arguments between the characters.
Honestly... when I first heard the concept of the quest for a creator... I was thinking DaVinci Code in space... and yes... I know... I'll get slapped for that from here on out.

Re: Paradise (Prometheus Sequel)
Anyway... can't help that I expected any kind of reactions from the characters to what they were experiencing and Lost writer certainly can't deliver that, so good he's gone. Lost was tolerable, but man it got stupid fast.
And... it's the first one in the list. I take it it was this one? :facepalm
Yeah, I can't help it if you are content with stupid writing. Sorry. :behave

Slapping yourself? You wanted Da Vince Code in space?
Are you talking about Alien or Prometheus? You said "severely lacked in the first one".

It was to see if that was the emoticon you were after. Clearly, it was.
And yeah... that had a much more rewarding mystery story about something, than we got with Prometheus.
Yup. Prometheus. I'd prefer the next one to have a better story and characters than we got in P.

Yeah, instead we got half a ripoff of AvP and a total ripoff of cheesy slasher movies and an emotional writing payoff of Twillight style proportions, with some nice imagery. :lol

We shouldn't. Especially when a new user only shows up to post a link to his own website and then leaves. Get rid of the lout and keep talking. Reported.

I'm telling you guys, the sequel to Prometheus will be an ALIEN prequel.

Re: PROMETHEUS sequel set for 2014/15
Because anyone who saw saw Prometheus can see that the characters in that film were just stupid and that the mysterious menace was only dangerous because the characters lacked common sense. I myself question a writer who thinks that it's a smart idea to have an audience invest in a character who thinks that a drawing of a tall stick figure pointing to a bunch of stars is the secret origin to human life and chooses to believe it without anything showcasing that this was indeed the case.
Characters are only as smart as their writers. If your writers can't answer any questions that they bring to the table and their characters are so stupid that the guy with a map can't find his way out of a tunnel, seek different writers.
