Jon Bershard, a writer at our sister site Mediaite, recently saw Prometheus and decided that he had a few thoughts on how to fix Ridley Scott's Alien prequel. We present his work to you, Gentle Reader, as part of our ongoing Headcanon series. Think of it as the outline to a fanfic. Since I spent much of my childhood using Alien toys to create my own sequels in my head (starring Star Wars action figures as the inevitably doomed crew), I couldn’t help but keep thinking about how this alternate reality version of the movie would go. I’ve written down some of my SPOILER-filled thoughts below.

Cars and Cars 2 may not have been the most critically praised Pixar films, they have been enormously successful financially. They are, at heart, light films that appeal the child's eye for bright cartoon comedy. However, these apparently uplifting tales have a dark heart, and perhaps contain the secret future history of the world.

Contributing to the Grand Unified Field Theory of '90s Era Cartoons (GUFT9EC) is a comparison image found on Jamie Steinheimer's Facebook page. It posits that not only did The Magic Schoolbus and Captain Planet take place in the same universe, but that the schoolkids from Magic Schoolbus eventually became the Planeteers. The similarity is certainly there, but it really just creates more questions than it answers.
