@@mirak63 yes you would. Alien is a perfect example. The first movie explains a fair amount of the Xenomorph’s growth process and attributes, but people wanted even more. Aliens explains even more about the Xenomorph hierarchy, names the creatures, showcases a completely new design, the alien queen, and people STILL wanted more. Alien 3 gave us the information Xenomorphs take the DNA of their hosts to better suit their environment so when they chest burst they eventually acclimate to their surroundings. Aka why the alien runs on all fours, as it came from a dog. Alien Resurrection explains EVEN MORE of Xenomorph anatomy and what happens when someone’s impregnated with one. The host is fed a small amount of DNA from the alien inside of them and that’s why all of Ripley’s clones come out fused with alien DNA. And the fans STILL wanted more, and we got the Deacon! But that was all we got from this movie about Xenomorphs, how they were created, but it doesn’t even disclose if the Engineer was impregnated before hypersleep or from the tentacle monster! For an addition to the Alien series, there should’ve been so much more information on the most critical part of the series; the aliens! The supposed Prometheus script went too in depth, but at the same time the movie gave us absolutely nothing to work with! The deacon should’ve been the star of the movie, but instead it was an afterthought for before the credits. There wasn’t enough from this movie, and that’s why it’s bad

A GREAT deal of that draft was written by John Spaihts. Particularly the cut scene with David translating "the warning/ chamber curse' which echoes such warnings found on cartouches inscribed on clay seals to secure tombs in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Also a 'point of proof' that the Engineers had given their beliefs and faith that were apparntly locked in their DNA -- or they returned to guide their fledging created life form of Earth. I've liked this for this reason. So many civilizations who adopted pyramids as temples and holy places, the fact that the Engineers were designed for the film to resemble the Greek and Roman marble statues, as though they were honoring the true Lords of Perfection, the Givers of life. The language was based on Indo-Proto-European roots which are still being studied and spoken to this day. I find the Engineers fascinating, would love to see more of them and how it all ties together. They are a culture to be explored.
I think rather than 'evolving' as a species to a state that no longer allowed for Engineer procreation, something more interesting would be that upon fusing their bodies with ever more technology, they inadvertently lost the ability to procreate. Which would kind of parallel what happens with human societies, the greater the level of technology and comfort, the lower the birth rate, dropping below replacement levels and threatening the existence of many unique cultures and traditions.
YES! i was just thinking something similar recently. my thought of what would make sense is that a newer technology (or power source) that they begin using turns out to affect them before they realize it. this would echo what happens with us, realizing years later that a certain drug, or radio wave, or many other things, causes adverse effects. if the whole community used it, they would all find out that they are now sterile, and would have to urgently attempt to tinker with their bodies in order to correct it. seems way more plausible than "they were so obsessed with their work for so long, that their reproductive systems devolved...."

So the Engineers were trying to create a life similar to their own after realizing that the evolution they reached would not make possible to procreate never again (leading to extintion), and the only way to achieve it would be creating a older version of themselves through Deacon's blood (reigniting their species)...maybe thats why they seeded so many planets until the point of running out of it (many failed attempts), then they tried to recriate Deacon's Blood but created Black Goo instead. All this would explain why they seem to have abandoned all their creations after a while, the only race they kept contact was the race David wiped out, and they were very similar to Engineers (and Engineers left structures there hinting they would come back - they didnt do the same on Earth), maybe they wanted to observe and study them more to be closer to recreating themselves, maybe the other races were used to refine their methods (or refine the production of Back Goo)... this would also explain why this race similar to Engineers are less advanced then humans and predators for example... their are a more recent species, maybe the last one Engineers created.

What was essential was that you briefly repeated points from the other video. That made this video work. If you had solely spoken of deacons without the vital framework, we would be lost. Excellent work.
I really wish they would have continued down Ridley's original plan for the prequels opposed to the jump they made into Covenant. What an amazing backstory - super philosophical and interesting contrast of the Xenomorphs vs decon - mirroring angels and demons
You should blame Ridley Scott himself, since he's the one who openly stated he thought the alien aspects were boring & he wanted to lean into the idea of rogue AI. Plus he's a drunk who leveraged his power with 20th Century Fox to try to setup a 3rd prequel to be his son's directorial debut. Dan O'Bannon, Giger, James Cameron, & Stan Winston all contributed much more positively to the ALIENS universe than Scott ever did.
Not to mention the way it compares the way they tried to re-create their chosen blood! It mirrors exactly the way people try to re-create Jesus blood, make people drink it and create horrors 😂
Just wish he hadn't been pressuring making Covenant the way he did. From what I heard he wasn't going to have Xenos at all in the trilogy but "fans" and possibly the studio kept bugging and nagging him over the lack of them in Prometheus.

@@benzielke7149 Well he's right about it being dead. I'd love to see it come back too, but its not gonna happen. Thought it was far from terrible, but the inclusion of the xenos was fucking stupid and ruined it IMO
@@joenobody5913 I don't disagree with you. And to have it be a Deacon type... I thought that was lame they should have had all kinds of stuff creeping around that was NOT what David was trying to achieve. it would tie in to the ending better
@@GrimmShadowsII The name of the second film was supposed to be Alien: Paradise. If you're going to make a prequel to Alien, then do a prequel that makes sense and connects to Alien. I wouldn't have minded Prometheus and a sequel based entirely on the Engineers snd the Deacon f it was just based on the Alien universe, but they purposefully mislead the fans into believing it would be something it wasn't. That's where the issues with the fans and the studio started, because they wanted something else, and he was pushed into making changes that ultimately made the movies disasters. I've read the original script, and yes, it might not be easy to adapt on to the screen, but it most certainly beats anything Ridley Scott decided to cut it into using other writers. Instead of a real sequel to Aliens (Alien 5) by Neil Blomkamp, we got the Covenant mess which completely ruined everything built up in Prometheus and the ending. And now he's pushing to get his hands on the Alien TV series as well, trying to take away that project from Noah Hawley who has done some brilliant work in Fargo and Legion for example. Sorry, but Ridley Scott shouldn't be handed any more Alien projects, because he's being lead around by the studio and marketing by their leash like a dog.
I'm so glad to see you're still covering the stuff. Your videos have given so much context and understanding (especially to Prometheus) that make the film a much more fascinating entry. To me, these videos, the music and your voice have become synonymous with the Alien franchise. Thanks for all the work, man!
10:25 the engineer's version of the blood of the 1st deacon was ingested by non-engineers so the results would be different but in a way, they did create new life, but not in the desired results.
@@Nukefandango Weyland Yutani killed a xenomorph. Their blood made contact with ants, termite, wasp brought from earth. Thus produce an alien queen. The synthetics take refugee or run away.
Its crazy how memories can be twisted. After the video, i felt an urge to listen to the particular soundtrack you play in the background. Knowing Prometheus and the Alien franchise pretty well, i was sure it was one of their tracks. I guess watching your videos for years has conditioned me into thinking it was. Thank you for crediting Audionotix (Atlantis). Amazing video as always!

@@kroft_movies Hey man love your videos! Could you possibly link me to the unreleased script? I too share a passion for films and I would LOVE to read it!
Yooooo Kroft !!!! Don't even need to watch the video before knowing it's gonna be great and so insightful to the Alien story line. Keep up the great work man!
What a coincidence, I used to watch your videos a few years back to learn more about the "Aliens movies" and today it just came to my mind and I decided to rewatch both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant today and wanted to do a bit digging to see if there is anything I missed like deleted scenes and such and it just so happened to be just after you returned to this channel. Seems like fate but I really do enjoy your content, it's very interesting and I hope you make more videos, don't let this channel die.
Haha, so funny, exactly the same story here my friend. Loved this channel a few years ago, and just hopped back, to find a new video! Gotta say, I love these movies and I still think about this story, hoping to find the next chapter's continuation on the Covenant with David.
This script could have given some of the many answers the Prometheus left us with after the premiere. I looked so much forward to watch this prequel til my favorite series of Alien movies. But while I thought I would get a lot of answers to all the mystery especially around the Space Jockey, I found a whole bunch of new doors open, giving even more (unanswered) questions. And that the remains of the Space Jockey seen in the original movie should be just the remains of a spacesuit of an Engineer made me sigh. I recall how I, in the beginning of the movie, was sceptical about Noomi Rapace being able to fill in the role as a 'new' Ripley, but that was one of few positive surprises... and then they killed her off between Prometheus and Alien Covenant, which I to this day have only seen once.
Love your content brother! Great to see another video. I really wish they wouldve explored this more in the sequel rather than going back to primarily an action movie. I really love prometheus and the lore surrounding it. I didn't even know it was in the alien universe until the sequel. I thought they just threw in some cheeky references at the end.
It's good to hear you once again, Kroft. Thank you for bringing more light to the much cut down masterpiece that PROMETHEUS film is. I still watch PROMETHEUS: Workprint Edition, as well as "Chaos Edition". I'm also waiting for PROMETHEUS: NINTH CIRCLE EDITION. We'll see if it gets published, one can only hope. Thank you for the video!
No wayyy😭😭 I was just back on this channel yesterday for the first time in a longgg time and you come back , and you come out with a video today ! What a crazy coincidence , great to see you back 💯
This actually makes so much more sense. Why david was so upset upon the decons death in the movie. More then curiousity at that point he was finishing the engineers work. He was emotional, real in that moment of witnessing his attempt of creating it be ruined.
Man I love your content the music goes so well with everything you talk bout and how deep you go into it and I'm glad your back keep it up.......and please dnt ever change the music for these videos it makes it more interesting for the story
Hi Kroft. First of all, I want to thank you for your new video. Thanks for trying to explain things. Your videos are just so excitingly done, also the background music is just fitting. I can't wait until all the mysteries are revealed. Maybe in a series or a movie. I would love it so much if you have an interview with Ridley Scott. You deserve it.
It's always interesting seeing and knowing stuff like this because in a sense the only thing really missing is the context given by what was cut because often it really is still part of the texture of the narrative and still visible within. In this case it is almost poetic in the synergy afforded through itself in relation to its plot
The man, the myth, the legend is back!! Thanks for the upload 🙏 I would love to see video reviews of new movies or even possibly tv shows that you enjoyed or maybe even thought were subpar. Honestly, I would watch anything you put out.
Ridley Scott may have told this story through the medium of sci-fi, but it’s just as much a biopic of mankind’s search for answers to our origin, our failed attempts at creating life, and our moment of realization that in spite of our hubris & technological advancement, we are no closer to understanding God or creation today than we were a century ago.
Your videos are fantastic! I love the eerie music and your voice. The editing and production of them are on point and give a sense of wonder… I wish that they went with this portrayal and Engineer sorta lore. I can just know that a version of this story would be so fascinating and cerebral in the manner or likeness of the great science fiction story ever told. In my opinion anyways… also like the comics having the Precursors or progenitors, I forget what they were called.. the original space jockeys and how they created the engineers.., anyways good work my friend cheers
Of course we believe it was bad to cut all that mystic and great story from the finale movie. Amazing work you did. Your videos about engineers are more satisfying that the movie itself.
I'm very happy to see that you still make stuff like this! I thought that you stopped after your last video 1 year ago. Please keep it going, I love your stuff!
I was like, a middle-aged man when the original Aliens came out and watched it in the theatres and loved it. Never imagined there was any extensive or advanced world lore behind it at the time. I've heard about this Prometheus stuff plenty of times before and the basic idea was pretty obvious. But it seems like maybe even the authors didn't know quite how to stitch together the whole Imaginary world?
I'm so happy to see you upload another video. Your lore videos are amazing and I hope we get some new movies/shows soon for you to make more content for.
I just never suspected how much better Prometheus could have been. It wasn't just an all over the place random mess, it was gutted over and over again by incompetence until that was all that was left.
I can't get enough of this content. Keep up the great work! I'm a Christian and I'm so enthralled by the way Ridley Scott made the connections between Alien and Human religion.
Its hard to believe the deacon is the progenitor of engineers/humans. So uninformitive that they left this info out of the movie. Thanks so much for the video and enlightening us!! KROFT!
This makes me appreciate Prometheus even more, it’s so much deeper and philosophical. If only Ridley Scott had added more of this. Also cleared up my confusion over why the black goo was able to create life whereas the Engineer one only seems to take it. I love that even the Engineers weren’t the supreme beings and also implying the xenomorph aliens also have an unknown origin. Learning more about a non hostile intelligent deacon would be cool.
this is one of the few movies that I don't feel dumb down after watching. Actually I should say has the potential because they always ultimately use the aliens as a crutch to entertain everyone instead of challenging concept of reality. That is why I like going to the movies, to have doors opened that would otherwise remain shut. This movie gets so close and then slams the door shut with the over done alien fights.
It’s downright criminal what they did to this script. The more you dive in, the more brilliant this thing is.
I wish Ridley would combine all previous scripts to make a follow up movie, but a positive one with the history instead of action and bs.
I think the mystery made the movie fine.

@@joenobody5913 I don't disagree with you. And to have it be a Deacon type... I thought that was lame they should have had all kinds of stuff creeping around that was NOT what David was trying to achieve. it would tie in to the ending better
@@GrimmShadowsII The name of the second film was supposed to be Alien: Paradise. If you're going to make a prequel to Alien, then do a prequel that makes sense and connects to Alien. I wouldn't have minded Prometheus and a sequel based entirely on the Engineers snd the Deacon f it was just based on the Alien universe, but they purposefully mislead the fans into believing it would be something it wasn't. That's where the issues with the fans and the studio started, because they wanted something else, and he was pushed into making changes that ultimately made the movies disasters.
I've read the original script, and yes, it might not be easy to adapt on to the screen, but it most certainly beats anything Ridley Scott decided to cut it into using other writers.
Instead of a real sequel to Aliens (Alien 5) by Neil Blomkamp, we got the Covenant mess which completely ruined everything built up in Prometheus and the ending. And now he's pushing to get his hands on the Alien TV series as well, trying to take away that project from Noah Hawley who has done some brilliant work in Fargo and Legion for example.
Sorry, but Ridley Scott shouldn't be handed any more Alien projects, because he's being lead around by the studio and marketing by their leash like a dog.
Welcome back, Kroft!! If you only knew how many people you made happy by your incredible content. Thank you.
I'm so glad to see you're still covering the stuff. Your videos have given so much context and understanding (especially to Prometheus) that make the film a much more fascinating entry. To me, these videos, the music and your voice have become synonymous with the Alien franchise. Thanks for all the work, man!
10:25 the engineer's version of the blood of the 1st deacon was ingested by non-engineers so the results would be different but in a way, they did create new life, but not in the desired results.
Great to see you back Kroft, we miss you man. The engineers arrogantly thought they could recreate the decons gift.
And produced an absolute horror. That's an awesome origin for the xenomorph
Perhaps it is not a gift that you really want.
@@joefilter2923
The Pandora box was a gift 🎁
Much like humans thought they could recreate the engineers gift it’s like a theme with a theme
@@Nukefandango Weyland Yutani killed a xenomorph. Their blood made contact with ants, termite, wasp brought from earth. Thus produce an alien queen. The synthetics take refugee or run away.
Its crazy how memories can be twisted. After the video, i felt an urge to listen to the particular soundtrack you play in the background. Knowing Prometheus and the Alien franchise pretty well, i was sure it was one of their tracks. I guess watching your videos for years has conditioned me into thinking it was. Thank you for crediting Audionotix (Atlantis). Amazing video as always!
Wait is this not an official alien song from the movies or games? Lol, for some reason all this time I thought it was.
I missed your content so much! I hope you keep it going!
Thanks, I will !

@@kroft_movies Hey man love your videos! Could you possibly link me to the unreleased script? I too share a passion for films and I would LOVE to read it!
@@kroft_movies so the acid blood not really acid.
Yooooo Kroft !!!! Don't even need to watch the video before knowing it's gonna be great and so insightful to the Alien story line. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks bro 👍
One of the BEST on RUclips….!❤
Thank you, Kroft. You are quite the detective!
What a coincidence, I used to watch your videos a few years back to learn more about the "Aliens movies" and today it just came to my mind and I decided to rewatch both Prometheus and Alien: Covenant today and wanted to do a bit digging to see if there is anything I missed like deleted scenes and such and it just so happened to be just after you returned to this channel. Seems like fate but I really do enjoy your content, it's very interesting and I hope you make more videos, don't let this channel die.
Haha, so funny, exactly the same story here my friend. Loved this channel a few years ago, and just hopped back, to find a new video! Gotta say, I love these movies and I still think about this story, hoping to find the next chapter's continuation on the Covenant with David.
This script could have given some of the many answers the Prometheus left us with after the premiere.
I looked so much forward to watch this prequel til my favorite series of Alien movies.
But while I thought I would get a lot of answers to all the mystery especially around the Space Jockey, I found a whole bunch of new doors open, giving even more (unanswered) questions.
And that the remains of the Space Jockey seen in the original movie should be just the remains of a spacesuit of an Engineer made me sigh.
I recall how I, in the beginning of the movie, was sceptical about Noomi Rapace being able to fill in the role as a 'new' Ripley, but that was one of few positive surprises... and then they killed her off between Prometheus and Alien Covenant, which I to this day have only seen once.
Love your content brother! Great to see another video. I really wish they wouldve explored this more in the sequel rather than going back to primarily an action movie. I really love prometheus and the lore surrounding it. I didn't even know it was in the alien universe until the sequel. I thought they just threw in some cheeky references at the end.
Kroooooft!!! Where were you mate?? We were worried! No video for Prey... We thought something happened to you. Keep up the awesome work
Without you, I would have never been a huuuge prequel fan. Kroft, thanks for these awesome theory and explained videos 🙏🏻
Thank you for creating this video. Tragic what this script became on screen. Hopefully, someday, Scott will fill in the blanks this provided.
Cool to see you put out more material. I like it very much. It's detailed and well told. Would love to see more.
This is meant as a compliment but your voice is perfect to set the tone for what we are looking at!
Great to see you back creating new content 👍
Thanks !
Maybe your best so far, finally! Have loved this movie since its release, but now I understand it!
And the legend returns! Glad to see you back!
Thanks !
It's good to hear you once again, Kroft. Thank you for bringing more light to the much cut down masterpiece that PROMETHEUS film is. I still watch PROMETHEUS: Workprint Edition, as well as "Chaos Edition". I'm also waiting for PROMETHEUS: NINTH CIRCLE EDITION. We'll see if it gets published, one can only hope. Thank you for the video!
It's amazing how much "need to know" info they cut out of the movie! Thanks for your outstanding work!!
Bro it's been a while I missed your content !!! Keep up the work !! Upload more !
Yes, Kroft is back!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the video…
Great to have more of your content, hope you're doing well Kroft! Thank you for another great video
Thought you retired the channel, glad your back still doing videos Kroft.
No wayyy😭😭 I was just back on this channel yesterday for the first time in a longgg time and you come back , and you come out with a video today ! What a crazy coincidence , great to see you back 💯
good to see you back kroft ❤️❤️❤️
Better than watching anything on YT this channel. Keel it up!
Thanks
@@kroft_movies I keep watching these because the tone and atmosphere, as well as information is just beautifully put together!
Subscribed, you've taught me so much about this movie I've got to rewatch it. There's so much that I missed 😫 amazing 👏
This actually makes so much more sense. Why david was so upset upon the decons death in the movie. More then curiousity at that point he was finishing the engineers work. He was emotional, real in that moment of witnessing his attempt of creating it be ruined.
Deacons death??
@@TobeyStarburst they probably meant the Neomorph.
Glad Kroft is back. Looks like he didn’t get drafted
You came back! And I missed it! I'm so glad you're back!
Ayyyyy - thx for this. Engineer society had always been a cool focal point for me tbh.
Man I love your content the music goes so well with everything you talk bout and how deep you go into it and I'm glad your back keep it up.......and please dnt ever change the music for these videos it makes it more interesting for the story
Bro you need to do more videos! We need more information please keep up the great projects! Awesome chanel!
Thanks I will !
You're back! We have missed you! Great video!
Really Glad to see you posting a video. I really enjoy your insight, it's always cool.
You are back! Made my morning! Thank you!
Hi Kroft. First of all, I want to thank you for your new video. Thanks for trying to explain things. Your videos are just so excitingly done, also the background music is just fitting. I can't wait until all the mysteries are revealed. Maybe in a series or a movie.
I would love it so much if you have an interview with Ridley Scott. You deserve it.
man, i love your content for ridley scott films. keep doing it more!
There is just nothing like this series, Prometheus specifically, I love the eldrich horror vibes, wish there was way more that could touch this movie
It's always interesting seeing and knowing stuff like this because in a sense the only thing really missing is the context given by what was cut because often it really is still part of the texture of the narrative and still visible within. In this case it is almost poetic in the synergy afforded through itself in relation to its plot
welcome back sir!!!!!! your videos are amazing :)
Thanks !
I would have loved to have scene this full scrip realize into the movie. ❤ you hard work!!
The man, the myth, the legend is back!! Thanks for the upload 🙏 I would love to see video reviews of new movies or even possibly tv shows that you enjoyed or maybe even thought were subpar. Honestly, I would watch anything you put out.
Best explanation about Engineers I've found so far.
Thank you so much for coming back with some more Prometheus
Happy to see you back we Love your videos man we need more !!
i like both those movies. I wish there were ten more of them. Fassbinder's two characters were the perfect B story to the creator search. Masterful
For reals…these movies keep going and going…especially with Krofts help. I love Ridley Scott.
Glad you're back, brother. Your content is amazing.
The best cut of Prometheus is the one that didn't come out.
Just found your channel and started binging your videos. Great stuff would love to see more
Kroft is BACK!!!!
man deep insights , good channel
I would LOVE an extended edition of Prometheus which includes more of the cut content re: the Engineers!
Wow! Kroft is here!
Thank you for sharing. I wish they hadn’t cut this from the movie, It puts things into perspective.
Stocked that you're back. Amazing content and showmanship on your work. Keep it going.
this leaves it open to make a movie about the engineers. I hope its made soon. I love these movies!
Ridley Scott may have told this story through the medium of sci-fi, but it’s just as much a biopic of mankind’s search for answers to our origin, our failed attempts at creating life, and our moment of realization that in spite of our hubris & technological advancement, we are no closer to understanding God or creation today than we were a century ago.
Yeah we do read the bible
You have returned when most needed!
Mark McAllister must be delighted that you're spending so much time analyzing one of his fan scripts.
Your videos are fantastic! I love the eerie music and your voice. The editing and production of them are on point and give a sense of wonder… I wish that they went with this portrayal and Engineer sorta lore. I can just know that a version of this story would be so fascinating and cerebral in the manner or likeness of the great science fiction story ever told. In my opinion anyways… also like the comics having the Precursors or progenitors, I forget what they were called.. the original space jockeys and how they created the engineers.., anyways good work my friend cheers
Of course we believe it was bad to cut all that mystic and great story from the finale movie. Amazing work you did. Your videos about engineers are more satisfying that the movie itself.
I'm very happy to see that you still make stuff like this! I thought that you stopped after your last video 1 year ago. Please keep it going, I love your stuff!
I was like, a middle-aged man when the original Aliens came out and watched it in the theatres and loved it. Never imagined there was any extensive or advanced world lore behind it at the time. I've heard about this Prometheus stuff plenty of times before and the basic idea was pretty obvious. But it seems like maybe even the authors didn't know quite how to stitch together the whole Imaginary world?
There wasnt. It was all ridley getting carried away.
We missed you man.
Imagine how goated a tv series based on prometheus would be
I'm so happy to see you upload another video. Your lore videos are amazing and I hope we get some new movies/shows soon for you to make more content for.
I always found this film so cool but with so much unexplained. This is so interesting to learn now.
I wish Mr. Scott did not have to cut anything out of his films and was able to make them as he sees them.
Nice to see you back. Kroft!
What happened to the Deacon at the end of Prometheus?
This shows what The Deacon did after the end of the movie it’s AMAZING:
ruclips.net/video/SZesg-dTnJY/видео.html
Prometheus with just a few deleted scenes: I'm about to -end- *start* this man's whole career...
I look forward to every installment…..! Awesome content….! Thanks Kroft….!
Thanks !
I just never suspected how much better Prometheus could have been.
It wasn't just an all over the place random mess, it was gutted over and over again by incompetence until that was all that was left.
I can't get enough of this content. Keep up the great work! I'm a Christian and I'm so enthralled by the way Ridley Scott made the connections between Alien and Human religion.
Same here
Wow, this starts to make sense now. Thank you very much.
Long time no see old friend.
Please keep posting Kroft. Love your contents
Its hard to believe the deacon is the progenitor of engineers/humans. So uninformitive that they left this info out of the movie. Thanks so much for the video and enlightening us!! KROFT!
This makes me appreciate Prometheus even more, it’s so much deeper and philosophical. If only Ridley Scott had added more of this. Also cleared up my confusion over why the black goo was able to create life whereas the Engineer one only seems to take it. I love that even the Engineers weren’t the supreme beings and also implying the xenomorph aliens also have an unknown origin. Learning more about a non hostile intelligent deacon would be cool.
this is one of the few movies that I don't feel dumb down after watching. Actually I should say has the potential because they always ultimately use the aliens as a crutch to entertain everyone instead of challenging concept of reality. That is why I like going to the movies, to have doors opened that would otherwise remain shut. This movie gets so close and then slams the door shut with the over done alien fights.
