One More Video Mocking Prometheus, for Old Time’s Sake
The How It Should Have Ended guys have gotten their hands on Ridley Scott’s non-Alien prequel Alien prequel Prometheus, but I feel like they’ve lost sight of their target goal a bit. Because this video doesn’t actually show how the movie should’ve ended… it pretty much shows the events in the movie pretty much exactly as they actually happened. It’s funny, mind you, it’s just not an actual alternative to how things went down in the movie. Still, bonus points for Noomi Rapace putting “scientists” in air quotes during her briefing.
