well a prequel is by definition a march towards the inevitable so while we know that the guy is going to get the girl or there's going to be a happy ending there's certain story beats that you hit the idea of saying I'm now just going to watch this young boy turn into Darth Vader you're leading me into the story that i already know there's certain things that i know can't happen like nothing's going to happen to obi-wan right because it's a prequel and I felt it was really important that Prometheus was not positioned as a prologue to alien write that in fact if prometheus were successful and there was a sequel to it the sequel to prometheus would not be alien I also felt like alien is as close to a perfect movie as it gets and I was very reluctant to engage in a conversation that would somehow diminish alien right like that if you saw if for some reason Prometheus didn't succeed creatively that when you went and watched alien again you'd be like this movie is now you should taste would be soured in some ways well yeah why Bible I bet that so all that by way of saying that if you my hope is that if you see prometheus and you watch alien again there will be certain things that were mysteries before about alien that you have more clarity on but not but but the mysteries that made alien great are still mysteries
