Why do horror films always have to rely on people being fucking retarded?
It's even stupider when said retards are supposed to be highly trained scientists.
Because if they werent retarded there would be no movie

Not really. The aliens are supposed to be cunning predators; not zombies.
A competent writer wouldn't need to rely on characters being retarded to move the story along.

Because that's what scientists do. I watched that BBC documentary where they went out looking for new species. They went and picked up all kinds of shit without even thinking about getting stung, bit, poisoned in some way. It's pretty true to life. Those fuckers are crazy!
>it's a Prometheus hate thread by people too dumb to understand subtext
So basically every Prometheus thread ever

you guys do know that the Prometheus crew was made up of un-qualified worksmen because weyland himself wanted to rush to the planet and find his immortality before he passed right?

His job was to literally make maps
How the fuck does he get lost but Roon Roon can make her way back to the ship with no hassle?

You can write competent characters even in zombie movies. See Romero's trilogy of the Dead, and Dawn of the Dead remake.

People here don't understand that because they can't think logically or beyond what a movie shows them.

The retardation factor was too much to handle in Prometheus.

This is why you'll die alone and lonely.

It actually resembled a juicy kawaii cock. Then it opened it's hood and looked like a gross vagina. But the guy was a closested gay, and he wasn't alone, so he had to force himself to pretend to want to pet the gross vagina.

Even that doesn't make any sense. He's supposed to be insanely rich, he could just as quickly hire non-retards who would actually carry out the mission successfully.
Why would you defend shitty film-making?
Just watched this.
Pretty good movie. Dont get why it got all the hate.

It's sort of convoluted at points but yeah it's pretty good. Sequel when?
