How did the Prometheus know David was a robot and ripped off his head?
>>
Earth tech is primitive from his perspective. He can easily tell by the pixels.

>>68877463
did he? what did david say to him? why did the engineer react that way? is it because humans where just supposed to be breading material for aliens?

Was him knowing he was a robot a requirement for ripping off his head?
>>
>>68877968
it was cut out of the movie but david some shit to him along the lines of 'we have come to you for the secret of immortality'.

from 'prometheus wiki':

David first tells the Engineer, at Weyland's request, that they have come to the planet just as the Engineers asked. The Engineer gets out of the stasis tube and stumbles forward, before asking, in his own language, why they came. After Shaw interrupts like in the theatrical version, Weyland tells David to explain why they have come. David tells the Engineer that Weyland wants to live forever. Weyland further elaborates that his company made David from nothing and states that he and the Engineer are superior beings; that they are gods, and gods never die.

--

the engineer ship was originally supposed to wipe out all human life, so the engineer got reasonably batshit insane at this and started ripping off their heads.

the real question is how the fuck did david know its language.

think of all the cum you fapped, thru the drain..aeons later a pack of deformed autist cumlings emerge and wake you up from your comfy slumber and tell you that they have survived from the drainage, asking some tips on how to get laid.

They explain how David knew their language.

He learnt all the ancient human languages, found the common traits and compared that to what he saw on the walls of the ship.

As for its pronunciation, I guess it's based off what we know of how certain letters are pronounced (even though there's slight differences across languages, vowels are common to all languages). I imagine he, as a computer, would have crossed referenced what the engineer was saying, the patterns and Inflexions of how it was said with everything else he knew and patched it together.

What did he mean by this?

>>68877463
The Promethei were autistic.
He has a compulsion to take machines apart and the hoomins interrupted him, so he went full etsubatsu.

He ripped off his head for getting too close and it annoyed him. Being a robot was irrelevant to his choice.

Same reason as the last time you asked dude.

David was trying to speak protoindoeuropean to the engineer, but his pronunciation was objectively appalling to anyone that has leaned PIE.

Engineer was like,' who the fuck is this untermemch speaking the aryan heroes tongue?', and promptly decapitated him for his impertinence.

Had nothing to do with him being a robot.

He was horny
