Why did Prometheus rip off that Androids head?
>>66741847
Because the android was a blasphemy against life
>>66741847
he was jealous of his 16 inch cock
The Android told him to, in promethean
>>66741847
>muh shocking dismembered android scene
that is a given
>>66741847
Because it was shit tier engineering by a shit tier ape race.
>>66741905
Think they'll be more Prometheuses?
>>66741847
which filthy frank video is this
>>66741847
So the movie could make a homage to the android's dismembered head from the Alien movie. There is no other reason

I don't think there's a David to Frank's Prometheus yet
The white devil should have died off by then. Seeing his pale skin enraged him
When and how did Ridley Scott become so incapable of creating interesting, likeable or relatable characters in his films?
>>66741862
But Prometheus created the xenomorphs as a bio weapon and he is pissed that man created a synthetic life form? Seems kinda hypocritical phamily.
>>66741847
I keep thinking, what's the significance of David quoting Lawrence of Arabia about not caring that it hurts.
I think he purposely said something to make the Engineer kill them all, because he knew the destruction of himself would be worth it and he'd probably survive over Weyland.
Can we stop calling the bald white alien Prometheus please? There is more than one of them and the canonical term for the species is Engineer.
Prometheus was the name of the human's ship and you sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

He was jealous of how fucking gorgeous Fassbender is

>>66742374
David also said to Shaw, "everyone wants their parents dead", which suggests he was planning on getting Weyland killed.
>>66741847
Got pissed at creation of his own creation. It was an ego thing.
prometheus didn't take too kindly that puny humans were asking for the elixir of life, which was pretty much the exact opposite of what he intended to do with the species just before he escaped into cryosleep due to the viral outbreak
also this >>66742862
>>66741847
Because he knew that creating something in your image is a mistake
Just as the engineers with the humans
The whole movie is, y'know, FRANKENSTEIN?
THE MODERN PROMETHEUS?
Because David was not created using open licenses.
>>66741847
>What did he mean by this?
>>66743699
Figures the engineers are freetards, they have no women among them.
>>66741847
Because humans are pests that could recreate their technology and become a huge threat to them?
>>66741847
>rips the android's head off
what did he mean by this?
>>66742360
Creating a xenomorph requires to sacrifice a life, which is a high honor. Creating a synthetic and use it as butler is selfish and heretic.
>>66742014
While this, I also think there was a bit of thought put into it.
I think he would view humanity in general as a disgusting abomination born out of a grave error by one member of his own kind, and an artificial lifeform built in humanity's image as even more disgusting. It was just a natural reaction without even a lot of thought behind it.
I love the gentle smile he gives Fassbender first, like "you ridiculous monstrosity, you thought I would value your existence?"
why do people still try to make sense of a movie this bad?
>>66742360
Because they created life through sacrificing themselves, Creating the circle of life (highest evolved being becoming the lowest). An android is not part of the circle, it would probably be seen as a cheap insult, basically the black face of life
>>66743982
>During the March 17, 2012 WonderCon, Scott stated that Prometheus would leave many questions unanswered, and that these could be answered in a sequel
It's meant to be full of unanswered questions. Scott has it all figured out.
>>66744034
How do you know the Engineers are not synthetic creations of another organism?
>>66742374
Hes the protagonist and the movie his named after him like Alien.
>>66744155
Because fuck off
>>66744155
but who engineered the engineers who engineered the engineers??!
>>66744298
Exactly
>>66744298
water flies
>>66743878
>>66744034
Yes I understand that they literally sacrificed one of their own to seed complex life on earth, but they have created a bio weapon in the xenomorph. Is Prometheus that aware that he can see that David is nothing but a slave? Or do they not see humans in the same way?
>>66744698
>Is Prometheus that aware
Why are you referring to the Engineer as Prometheus?
>>66744698
Engineers have the moral high ground. Xenomorphs are bio machines unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality, while David is an abomination.

He's right, Prometheus was the creator of mankind as well the Engineers
>>66745192
Prometheus is the name of the ship.
>>66745222
That ship was named "Prometheus" on purpose, according on the Greek/Roman mythology he was the creator of the humankind.
Perhaps you miss the most important point of the movie, the Engineers were like Prometheus.
If anyone of you had gone to highschool, you would've known that it is a tale of hubris and nemesis. Humanity commits hubris by playing god, and is punished with nemesis by the engineer (""god"")
>>66745343
That does not mean the Engineers are Prometheus.
>>66745547
Much in the same way we call you Reddit, we call these guys Prometheus.
You dig?

2/10 troll.
Prometheus wasn't the creator of mankind. He was a human that stole fire from the gods
Jews killed jesus who turned out to be an important engineer.
The got mad and saw us a failure
>>66745757
The fire represents the light of reason, the light of reason is the autoconscience which his Engineers gift to Earth.
Engineers created us, so not life, but intelligent life.
It's very clear in the movie, the Alien is taking in his surroundings, confused. Later amused by the old man's selfishness. Finally he looks carefully at David and realizes that he is not a man, but a robot creation of man. In his eyes an abomination. Look at the Alien's tech, it's all biological, even their bio-weapons. They sacrifice themselves to seed new worlds with religious like enthusiasm. Seeing what their creation (man) has become (a false god themselves) he goes nuts and murders everyone, more resolute then ever on getting his ship full of bio-weapons to eradicate the failed earth experiment once and for all
>>66745874
The ship is called Prometheus because they were going, metaphorically, to steal fire from the gods.
>best known as the deity in Greek mythology who was the creator of mankind and its greatest benefactor, who stole fire from Mount Olympus and gave it to mankind.
The Engineers in Prometheus clearly do not represent Prometheus. They want to kill mankind.
If we are going to go with looking for similarities between Prometheus Greek story and Prometheus movie then we would say the Engineers at the start represent Prometheus, they stole the Black goo and used it to create mankind and also taught us stuff. The Engineers later in the movie are probably the Olympians who the first Engineers stole the Goo from.
The Goo is the Fire.
However, we have no idea how loosely the story is based on Prometheus. It may be so loosely based that no one really represents Prometheus at all.
I hate it when people infer grand between-the-lines plot narratives that are not officially referred to.
Prometheus was the name of the space shit my dood
He is called an engineer
He ripped of fassvenders head because his mission is to kill humans
>>66746011
So you're saying that the humans are Prometheus?
Boy this sure is confusing! lol
What were they gonna do with the Goo anyway?
It seems like the Goo just turns things in to different things, not actually kill off humans. They'd just make loads of squid monsters.
>>66746011
dubs have spoken
>>66746051
No, I said the Engineers at the start would represent Prometheus.
Humans represent mankind.
Engineers seen later on in movie represent Titans the first Engineers (in the robes) stole life (goo in container) from
>>66746156
Or it could be like this:-
>David represents Mankind
>Weyland represents Prometheus
>Black goo represents the fire
>Engineers represent the Titans who own the fire
>Weyland takes David to Engineers where David gets his hands on the goo. This represents Prometheus giving the fire to mankind (Weyland giving it to David)
>>66741928
*Promethei
>>66746097
The goo turns everything it touches into Xeno's, you can see a mural depicting one in the goo chamber.
They were going to wipe out humanity thousands of years ago but there was a huge fuckup and most of the crew died.
>>66746383
Replace humanity with incredibly dangerous xenos and face huggers that could presumably impregnate any Engineers also?
What would they do with a planet full of billions of Xenos?
>>66746502
Wait till all life on the planet has been assimilated, without other lifeforms for gestation Xenos are unable to reproduce, they go through a period of mass die-offs and their rotting carcasses fertilise the planet, then the engineers try making life again.
>>66746707
>their rotting carcasses fertilise the planet
You mean billions of rotting piles of Acid?
I'm not sure if that would do the Earth much good.
>>66746776
You know there's billions of piles of rotting acid on earth right now? There's even acid... INSIDE YOU! OH NO! but yea, it's true.
>>66741847
Because he wanted an iPhone.
Because MUH SHOCKING value.
>>66745757
NO.
Prometheus is a Titan whose name translates to "forethought." In some myths he shapes ALL mortal life out of clay, thus creating humans and beasts. The most consistent myth, the one referenced IN THE GODDAMN MOVIE ITSELF, is that Prometheus stole fire from Olympus, thus enlightening and empowering ancient man and putting him on the path to intellectual awakening.
as penalty from Zeus, he was chained to a rock where everyday an eagle would come and eat out his liver only for it to grow back overnight so the eagle could come back in the morning.
know you Hellenic lore bro
>>66746383
and it affects the engineers differently? Because the outbreak in the ship didn't turn the engineers into xeno's and the one that uses the goo in Earth just decomposes.
>>66741847
He so angury, senpai!
>>66741847
>>66741847
he read the script
