Once they landed and the lil xeno attacked one of the men and killed him the other ran to him and cried and said he loved him? Did I hear that right
shareOnly seen it the one time but I believe there was yes. Someone else was moaning about it so I guess there was.
shareYes, there was. It was covered more specifically in one of the short prologue films, but almost undetectable in the final cut of the movie itself. It seemed that there was a lot of debate about the issue prior to the movie (wondering how a gay couple would be depicted or what had motivated including a gay couple in a crew of couples), but the question seemed to drop off the radar as soon as the movie came out.
share Yes there was a gay couple which is weird since it was a colony ship optimized for reproduction.
I believe the script mentioned that steril colonists were bared from joining the mission.
i was wondering to why would they have a gay couple on a ship thats meant to reproduce? lol
shareHaha, for all the shit this movie gets that never gets brought up! The PC police will come for you
shareI don't remember any reference to sterility in the movie, nor in the prologue... Was it just a script note?
share I'll watch it again but I could have sworn some ones sister was blocked from going because they were sterile.
I give up. I coulden't find the scene in either the american bootleg or the chinese bootleg. :(
shareDon't worry about it... it's not a big deal...
shareTell me if this rings a bell. A female was declaring that she felt bad about leaving her sister behind. She explains her sister coulden't go because she coulden't have children. I don't know if it was explicitly stated that steril people were banned or not though. :/
shareI can't say it does... could it have been in the prologue? I'll check that out later...
shareWhat genetic recombination technology do they have in the future? They have embryos in little dishes...
They can probably reproduce with a surrogate.
The crew wasn't there to propagate, though. They were there to get the colonists safely to their destination, by working as a stable, loyal team. It was mentioned in the dialogue, I think -- and certainly was in Ridley Scott's commentary -- that the crew was made up of people in committed relationships as stable personalities and to foster loyalty among the crew without love rivalries starting up.
The colonists were a different matter, since as well as needing world-building skills, they *were* there to reproduce.
Also, it was inevitable, once the colony was established, that some kids would be born gay themselves. It made sense for there to be some older gay people in the colony as role models for these kids too.
Lol. Couples would side with each other during a survival situation though. Coupling would destroy team loyaltee when resources are low.
Gay kids needing gay adults. Umm yea not a compelling motivation.
"Lol" ?! Don't be a jerk.
shareCouples would side with each other during a survival situation though. Coupling would destroy team loyaltee when resources are low.
Thats kind of what I mean. People will fight for their spouses and children and become criminals to every one else if forced to fight over resources or just survive in general.
There were lots of embryos to raise, so the couples would not have to have been hetero.
Maybe spare males in case someone dies? You don't need to fuck a female, just provide the juice. Plus they could be bi.
