We'll never know because David killed them all

>>212182696
High IQ doesn't make you immune to having emotions or reacting on impulse. That's actually more of a sign of low T if you don't.

>>212184590
Because they didn't create the goo, they just found it inside xenomorphs and harvested it until they all died.
Romulus made them alien Weyland Yutani instead of perfect gods of creation.

>>212182923
You don’t need to be smart to hate short people.

why are all prometheus haters such retarded irony poisoned redditors? it's a horror movie about mysterious godlike aliens, did you expect the engineer to make a quip in english before attacking them?

he wasn't home though, they also weren't being violent towards him

>>212184707
>>212184714
It makes you react on instinct far quicker though. Look at reaction times between men and women, men have lightning fast reaction times compared to women.

If Warwick Davis was at the foot of my bed when I awoke, I would sooner slam his deformed head repeatedly into the post before even cosidering to greet my loved ones. So I can relate with Prometheous in that aspect.

testosterone makes you feel good and confident, you feel like a God
the "roid rage" is often falsely blamed on testosterone when in fact it's a side effect of roiding caused by increased estrogen (yes, which are caused by roiding, which is why people who take steroids need to watch their estrogen levels closely and take anti-etsrogen pills)

Oh so it retconned them back to what we thought the space jockeys were like before Ridley went full retard about Muh Life And Death and Muh Evil Immortal AI? Neat.

>>212184718
They fucking left a map and invitation to come over and hang out! Prometheus is such a prick

>>212184910
Did HE know about it?

>>212184897
hes clearly one of the master race prometheuses

>>212184910
Those were "KEEP THE FUCK OUT OF THIS QUADRANT OF SPACE, TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT" warning signs. The humans were just so full of hubris that they thought it must be an invitation because someone was trying to tell them something, and obviously no one would tell them to fuck off.

>>212182696
He's so smart he figured that chimping out like a retard was the most efficient way to get what he wanted done.

>>212184909
It also unfucks the timeline so now David's science experiment isn't the origin of xenomorph encounters that should've happened hundreds of years earlier.

>>212182579 (OP)
He just hates normies he's just like me

>>212185074
Did it also solve the ridiculous problem of the Prometheus ships having stupid fucking Minority Report-looking controls, with 3D holograms and touch screens fucking everywhere instead of physical controls like every other ship in the Alien universe, even the ones that are from hundreds of years in the future? It'd be an easy fix by just showing one of those ships get fucked over by some cosmic storm or some shit that takes out all their fancy controls, leading to every other ship having hardened tech that looks more primitive.

>>212185074
David is still its creator, Romulus only added the cocoons.

>>212184727
the better version of the script has him go into a much longer Shakespearean monologue, but the studio made them cut most of it out. they didn't think normies would get it.
he was offended by their violence and concluded humans have learned nothing with time and are irredeemable. also, they hate AI for being a mockery of organic life, they consider it demonic - and there it is, speaking his language, falsely translating what Weyland was saying to piss it off. the theme with David is he does things to see what would happen, he's a true psychopath and with Weyland dead, he no longer has to follow a master.

>>212185074
romulus isnt canon its a standalone pg13 alien
alien awakening will be the engineer trilogy's 3rd movie and david will get btfo'd by prometheus and we get to see the engineer homeworld and society and what hobbies they get up to.
trust the plan.

>>212184727
>hes so mysterious and lovecraftian!

why couldnt he give them something or atleast explain himself? this guy is a fucking jerk,

>>212185689
Why would he explain himself to some experiment that he was sent to destroy?

>>212185762
because something happened to his ship and they clearly didn't expect their experiment to suddenly reach interstellar travel either. maybe he should actually hear them out.

>>212182650

In case you didn't get it, the dude was a soldier, not a scientist or a philosopher. And his ship still worked since Naomi Rapeface and David used it to get to the other planet.

>>212185879
>In case you didn't get it, the dude was a soldier, not a scientist or a philosopher.
no proof and not a good argument anyway.
>And his ship still worked since Naomi Rapeface and David used it to get to the other planet.
the ship still worked, but they were supposed to have taken off like 2000 years ago. he was the sole survivor, all the other prometheuses were dead and fucked up. watch the movie.

>>212185218
>he was offended by their violence and concluded humans have learned nothing with time and are irredeemable. also, they hate AI for being a mockery of organic life, they consider it demonic
he was right

It seems Awakening was canceled again recently but Romulus 2 begins filming soon and will probably give us some closure.

Weyland fucked up their introduction, and the engineer didn't care to answer Shaw's question. His main concern was completing the mission.

none of those words mean anything to a prometheus they just jack off into cups withblack goo then drink it and fall into oceans on different planets

>>212182579 (OP)
In the original script the Engineer said that his people took a child to educate him of their way and to spread their way to humans. Humans saw fit to kill him (that was over 2,000 years ago, so said child is Jesus). So the Engineers were butthurt that we killed Jesus and decided to nuke us.

>>212186335
Jesus was human, you illiterate retard. The Engineers took him from Earth as a child, educated him, then sent him back to teach humans.

Cutting the scene of the engineer entering the spacecraft and hearing music then pausing after grabbing Shaw was the biggest mistake of the film.

>>212186354
They're no worse than Yahweh.

>>212186037
I don't know what happened, Romulus was successful and Ridley Scott announced he's working on a new Alien movie and said he'll be more involved in the franchise from now on only to say he's done enough a couple of months later.

>>212186395
It's Ridley's and Lindelof's fault for not having a fully fleshed out conplete story before starting this. No one cares for a story anymore when you're winging it with mystery boxes. They destroyed the audience's trust with that shit over the years.

Can't wait for Alien Earth that has zero to do with engineers, alienbros

>>212182696
For all he knew they were about to gang rape him. It was self defense.

Its more like being woken up surrounded by cockroaches who are asking you to open your fridge for them

Prometheus does not have a butthole.

>>212186898
Why do you keep saying cockroaches as if Prometheus didn't specifically make the humans and spend centuries with them? They even said they're the only creation that even worked out long run before the jesus thing

>>212186855
they were making moves, he had to get it on

You're the one who keeps referring to the engineer as Prometheus which makes me assume you're retarded.

>>212187210
engineer is his job, not his name.

Does anyone else think most viewers seem to miss that David is malfunctioning in Covenant? He's misremembering things when he prides himself on being 'perfect'

>>212186395
>just watched it
this scene on its own manages to almost rescue the engineer as an antagonist and they cut it
the older I get the harder I find it to reconcile ridley scott's massive cinematic successes from his appalling failures. I sometimes wonder whether his best movies were made despite his retardation rather than thanks to any skills he may possess. How can a man capable of making something as good as body of lies or gladiator then turn around and make such a baffling decision as to edit out this scene (not to mention the entire rest of the shitshow which prometheus is)

>>212188037
Simple answer: Ridley's earlier movies were saved because of competent editors that put together things better than Ridley ever could. Now Ridley has too much power and fucks everything up.

>>212182579 (OP)
me when i haven't had my coffee lmao XD

>>212188321
I fear nolan may be suffering the same fate as we speak

>>212188037
I get what they're going for, but it's still stupid. Hearing music, seeing they made a pretty wind chime, and seeing they have books then thinking hmm maybe I shouldn't kill them is idiotic. These fuckers just flew lightyears across interstellar space. That itself is incredible and impossible for all of history. Way more impressive than tooting some notes from a horn. The story being a blockbuster movie is what ruins it. He has no time for characterization or to learn about the humans. He needs to be spooky, scary and chimp out to be a horror movie. Regardless of reasons.

>>212188342
>as we speak
You think Batman 3 was competently directed and edited?? The rot has been in action for Nolan more than a decade at this point, with no one daring to tell him to do reshoots because the takes he got look retarded, or to change things. The only thing they managed to do was have him redub every single one of Bane's lines after the first trailer dropped and they realised literally no one could understand him.

>>212188519
How come we almost never hear of behinds the scenes stuff like this of directors making retarded calls and then having to be tardwrangled by competent cinematographers and editors under them? I feel like you almost never publically hear about it. Or if you can please tell me where I can read more about it, I know for a fact it happens but I never actually get any official confirmation

>>212188435
What I don't understand about prometheus is that having seen alien, 99% of the appeal of the movie is the titular alien doing alien shit and the humans dealing with that. they could've literally just done that but with the engineer and it would've been kino, instead they spend 90% of the film on "look how silly these incompetent space researchers are! look at all these mystery boxes we'll never explain!

the actual lore of the engineers would make for incredible cinema, forerunner alien races seeding humanity is automatically kino, how did ridley fumble it this fucking badly

>>212188564
It's just because directors have too much power in Hollywood, really. You can't go talking about it in an official enough capacity for a book to be written because then that director and his friends or the studios connected with him won't work with you again, so you're blackballed from most of the industry. Once the director actually dies the stories come out officially, like with Hitchcock or Kubrick's shenanigans.

Once Nolan dies I bet there'll be a TON of stories about how stupid his autistic refusal to do retakes was, for example, lessening perfectly good scenes because an actor or extra screwed up their choreography and he refused to give them a second chance for no good reason. With all the actors agreeing that working with him was a chore because you can never know if your first attempt at a scene will be the best one and he saddled them with bad ones, making them look bad. It's no coincidence that otherwise fantastic actors appear to be way worse in his movies.

>>212188655
Ridley really messed up making it a prequel to the first movie. It could have been set on a really cool world with all sorts of neat visuals. Instead he hamstringed it to be on a boring rock planet and the engineer ship crashing so it pretends like it lines up with the original movie. A REALLY bad decision that added nothing to either movie but severely damaged this movie.

>>212187158
Yup

Why did this movie never do anything with the Prometheus story?

>>212188893
>With all the actors agreeing that working with him was a chore because you can never know if your first attempt at a scene will be the best one and he saddled them with bad ones, making them look bad
I understand that if you're a lesser known actor looking to become more famous you would never refuse the opportunity to work with nolan but if I was even moderately famous this shit would make me unwilling to go NEAR a nolan production

fucking hell the more I find out about hollywood directors the more I despise them (not that the rest of that industry and town isn't demonic in its own right)

>>212182696

>>212192549
David should have been able to kick Prometheus' ass really. And there were a bunch of armed guys but Prometheus tanked their shots with his bioarmor. They should have had Shaw's squid son ready to rape at a moment's notice.

I'm surprised he held out for as long as he did when the female started loudly asserting herself to the obvious concern of the males. How the fuck did these dysgenic pygmy shits allow their cock sleeves such freedom? Time for them to die.

>>212182696
Did you miss the part when the female, in the same clothing as the males, almost as if they were equals, started talking shit and the men made her shut up? Dumb bitch injected jewish feminism into the conversation and got everyone killed for it.

this particular engineer's name was bob and all his coworkers hated him and hardly spoke to him unless necessary, he was a violent and stupid piece of shit and the only reason he survived was because he went in last due to laziness.

This shit would basically be like waking up any human man from 300 years ago and letting him see modern society.

If he saw women free and slaves given all kinds of insane privileges, he'd immediately go berserk on the crazy modern assholes too.
