PROMETHEUS Clip - "The Engineer" (2012)

[@ericbr7]

In both this and the deleted scene the Engineer seemed willing to at least not murder them all just for waking him up. He even seemed to understand Shaw, the only one actually asking questions the Engineer might expect from his creations and want to answer. Then the walking scrotum starts asking for immortality and he decides he isn't dealing with this shit without coffee.

Your joke is funny. On a more serious note, I reckon the significance of the scene is that us, with our questions, are of no more significance to our creator than the the androids we build are to us. Remember David being asked to fetch the tea in the beginning?

[@MasonNoThumbs]

What I love about this scene is how he listens to them and he seems to understand Shaw is asking genuine questions even if he doesn’t understand her yet. Even when Weyland asks for immortality he doesn’t dismiss it but genuinely questions why as if he’s hoping there’s a good reason for such a ignorant request. But when he finds out the humans are playing god and creating life too and desecrating the Engineers religion that’s when he becomes pissed

[@LoveMaskedBandits]

A king has his reign. Then he dies. Father.

[@KatyaLishch]

I don't think he understood Shaw, he tried to understand her, and made a puzzled face when he looked at her when she spoke, but his attitude was influenced by the fact that they hit Shaw in the stomach, and this, together with the request for immortality, made him angry, or at least made him convinced that humanity deserves destruction and that he should end the dialogue and kill them right away.

@@PavelKOT11 That's pretty much how I was feeling. He saw that they attacked the weakest in their group, at which point he realized they are hostile creatures and it's not worth risking the engineers life to spend any more time with these humans whom not only woke him up but are the ones he was sent to exterminate.

[@PavelKOT11]

@@XykuJoxa You are right about his feelings. I would have the same kind of feelings in his position. I would also feel some kind of anarchy/unstability in them: if within first two minutes talk with Engineer they have a conflict with violence inside their really small group (just 4 man and 1 android) then they are not only hostile to him (it would be logical), but much more worse: they are really nuts, crazy nasty nuts to themselves... But I would not agree on the idea that he was sent to exterminate humans. My objection: 1. sent by whom? If it would be their (Engineers) central government then the orders would be very simple: fly to Earth now and bomb it. Now. Not after some thousands years but now. As normal government usually command: start war now, destroy now, bomb now. There was no such a crazy government during human history with such a strange orders: wait for several years/centuries then destroy that state! It's stupid order - nobody can predict what will happens in one century or thousand years. 2. This Engineer has been sleeping in anabiosys then the shit with bio-weapon aboard his ship happened and killed the rest of the crew. It means that the situation was very sudden and some part of crew was away/sleeping. No war, no preparations for war, no general armed forces/strategical forces alarm, no warnings, no special awarnes on the base. Just normal day at usual strategical starship base, with unactive (maybe even conservated) spaceships with mass destruction bio-weapons onboard. 3. All spaceship trained combat pilots on these ships quite logically should knew all main races in Engineers star's systems vicinty: they should know all possible enemies/concurents (their planets/star systems are already in navigation computers of their spaceships). Just to be ready to start war (bomb the enemies planets) anytime/defend Engineers systems from attack. As well as novaday strategical missile military officers in all nuclear states knew all other nuclear states with nukes. The target's coordinates for all types of nuclear war (first strike, both side opposite simultaneous strikes, second retalliation strike) are already programmed and loaded into their nuke silo's computers. It will takes only one minute or less to load the target info into nuke missile warhead in case of sudden war and start the missile then. Imagine Chineese strategic missile forces officer in the silo. He opens his eyes and sees armed Americans in his bunker beside nuke silo. What he would do? Which state he would attack if he has codes for arming missile? Imagine him seeing armed Russians or Indians - same question... Reverse this question to Russian nuke silo situation or US nuke silo. It's all the same - their have targets lists for each nuclear state and they can load in into nuke warhead/missile in a minute. They are trained to do so. The only difference with the last Engineer on the old spaceship base that he has no connection with other spaceships (i.e. silos) nor with Engineers government (i.e. strategic command). Yet he is able to determined who broke into his spaceship and can (wrongly) evaluate / extrapolate the whole situation as if humans already destroyed all other spaceships and HQ and now came for him.

Just imagine: You're part of a race that created humanity hundreds of thousands of years ago. Then you and the rest of your race realize that humanity has gotten out of control and must be destroyed. So y'all prep for a mission into deep space, and you lay down in your hypersleep chamber to make the trip, expecting to wake up in-theater with the mission in full swing the next thing you know. Instead, you wake up to the dark powered-down bridge of the ship you were on, suddenly face-to-face with your failed dangerous creation which was stuck on a mudball light-years away the last time you checked. And now they're here, among your dangerous recombinant cargo, and one of them is speaking your language asking you to confer immortality upon an old frail member of your creation who himself has turned the creation of sentient life -- the defining accomplishment of your entire species -- into a crude obscene synthetic unfeeling mockery. You'd go apeshit and try to finish the mission with no second thoughts too. We all would.

[@alexshmalex]

Having just watched it, the issue with the deleted version where the engineer speaks is that David doesn't translate Wayland's response to the Engineer's question of "why?". I think it was just a mistake they didn't consider when filming. It makes no sense for the engineer to have asked a question and then attack them without receiving an answer so it's probably better they just had him make his own mind up that he didn't like what he saw without the conversation.

[@GodsNode]

His rage could have also been brought on in recognizing David as an AI bot and thus proving mankind is vain/enslaving/corrupt etc.

[@rdu239]

The engineers look down upon the humans as inferior creatures due to their endless flaws like greed and selfishness. In the beginning of the film, it is implied only a sole engineer believed and put his trust on then primitive earth's potential, that is why he sacrificed himself by dying and spreading his DNA into the waters.

[@kamieaston3016]

@@rdu239 I think it was more so the fact that Wayland was trying to become a god fundamentally. In the deleted scene the Engineer doesn't really become hostile until he realizes David is a cheap imitation of Biological life; and when Weyland proclaims himself an equal to the Engineer. My theory is that the Engineers split off as their reproductive capabilities became finite. Their civilization collapsed into fragmented cells, and that these Engineers we see in the movie are actually a rebel cell who sees themselves as Gods instead of Creators.

[@nocomment6421]

@@kamieaston3016 The Canon Story or at least what the Script says which never made it into the movies is, that the engineers tried to create life on many planets but only earth was a success. They tried to Guide us, even took one of us to their Home world and teached him their ways (they are talking about Jesus) but we killed him, rejected their believes and therefore in their eyes we were unworthy. This is all Part of a conversation that was never filmed. The goo is a mass destruction weapon that kills all life but keeps the plants and atmosphere intact. You can see the result in the second movie. My specualtion is, since earth is the only planet that worked, they wanted to get rid of humans and start over again or live there By themself. No one knows what went wrong but its Most likly that an accident is the reason why they didnt finished their Job. Its also specualtion but since the engineer was alive but didnt continue His Journey could mean that He was already infected with the goo and was hoping for His own kind to come and get the Alien out of him. So the big face hugger may impregnated and killed him but He probably was already done for. In the second movie we see David Killing all engineers but everyone coming to greet the ship is part of a Welcome ceremony so there are still ships and outposts out there and you can be sure they wont be happy seeing everyone dead. So they are not extinct but defnitly not in a position to go to war with humanity anymore. David didnt do this to safe humanity. He is an android that actually felt Superior to humans and was able to feel one emotion and that is hatred. He hates Humans and he kills the woman at the End of their travel to the Home world because He wanted to use her body for Experiments. But He Not only hates humans. He wanted to Proof himself to be a Superior being so He decided Not only to kill the woman after arrival to show is Superiority over humanity but By Killing their creators too. And then He kinda wanted to be a creator himself By breeding aliens. So David is just pure evil. That is all information from the Script. There was supposed to come a third movie but they canceled it. In the third movie they probably would have shown that the engineers are Not extinct and explained everything in detail but since someone released the Scripts it seems like they abandoned the movie because there wasnt much to discover anymore. Its also a false and never confirmed rumour that the engineers lost their ability to reproduce. Its made up by fans and not true but is spread all around the Internet with no source to canon Material. Its like conspiracy theorist claiming their facts to be true By point at each other as source while not giving any evidance at all.

[@Jacob-ir6zi]

The engineers are descendants of the Space Jockeys. Perhaps their species were at war with one another and they wounded up surpassing the Space Jockeys. When they saw that their own creation had begun creating he feared that humanity would do the same to them as they did to the Space Jockeys in an ancient war thousands of years ago. Alas David ends up destroying the remaining Engineers or other descendants. This is also in line with the theory that David isn't original. He can only copy without truly creating. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Engineers. If the Engineers killed the Space Jockeys then he's definitely following their footsteps. But the xenomorph is not his original creation. Because he cannot create, he can only recreate what has already existed.

The Engineers created life on many planets. One of the planets evolved into humanoids that became very advanced. The humanoids of that planet were extremely dangerous and eventually became aware of their creators similar to the people on Earth. Instead of desiring to meet and learn about their creators as Dr Shaw did, the beings of that world were driven to destroy and conquer. When these humanoids travelled to the Engineers home world a war broke out. The humanoids were actually the ones who had created the bio weapon that we see the on the Engineers ship later in the movie. The Engineers were driven from their home planet because they were overrun when the humanoids released the bio weapon on their homeworld. The Engineers who were not wiped out were able to regroup on another world and managed to fight off the humanoids that they had created millions of years ago. The Engineers studied the bio weapon and reproduced it with the intention of visiting every planet they had formed life on and release it in order to kill everything they had created. They knew what their own creations were capable of becoming through unpredictable evolution and couldn't allow such a thing to happen again, so they sent ships carrying the weapon to every world that they had formed life on with the intent to destroy everything. The Engineers in the movie who were headed for earth lost control of the bio weapon in their cargo and it killed most of the crew, except for the lone Engineer who was in cryo sleep. That's why he killed David and everyone who woke him up. To him they were all a threat that had to be wiped out.

Covenant was a huge mistake. This film actually brought the franchise back in an interesting way. Covenant just took what prometheus was trying to do, and turned it into something so much less interesting.

[@DarthZombie510]

Scott focused on the wrong criticism when he thought out Covenant. Instead of "where are the Xenomorphs?!?" he should've focused on not making his characters brain dead. Honestly, if this latter thing wasn't there, Prometheus would've been a very good movie considering the rest of its elements are well done. Instead, Covenant brings us slightly less dumb characters [they still act reckless, but at least there's some plausible deniability for their actions] but with more action that is so-so, and a rambling about the dangers of AI which have been way better covered in other movies. Half an hour of Blade Runner [both his or Villeneuve's] offers tenfold nuance and substance to the theme than Covenant manages with David's antics. At least Fassbender is a phenomenal actor, but still.

I think that this film is severely underrated. It's a movie that poses a bunch of questions that it doesn't answer, and I totally get that this can be frustrating, but I personally found the questions (and what little resemblance to an answer we do get) fascinating. This is basically a story that says "why are we here, why did you create us, why did you turn on us, what is this all for", which are questions that humanity cannot simply have answered for them in a way that they can possibly understand. It's like an ant trying to figure out what a computer is and how it works. It simply doesn't have the capacity to grasp the profundity of what is greater than itself, and that's why I ultimately love this movie. The response of the Engineer is basically "how dare you be so audacious as to wake me - your very creator - from slumber to demand anything of me".

[@Aj-tu4gv]

Okay so hear this, there is the spirit realm called brahma loka, which is all conciousnesses of the universe, it is almighty God. There is heaven and there is hell. And after you die you go there. Heaven and hell have multiple dimensions and in the deepest layers of both you find conciousnesses of planets and random souls from the universes energy. The universe comes from creation energy (krishna) this is God's magical energy, we are a physical Incarnation of creation energy. There are supernatural people and objects. 7 chakras and khndalini 3rd eye, psykick people and plants and planets. Objects connected (pieces of eden) are connected to angels and demons, look at 7 rishis and manu, and mahabarata weapons. These objects are like Aladins lamp connected to genies ( angels or demons). All major wars are fought for these. This engineer represents an angel, and the black goo jinn(demons), him and God may be pissed off as humans are horrible and psychopathic or abuse the angels and try to destroy them.

not that unpopular i think. as a stand-alone movie, it explores some interesting questions and had the potantial for an interesting storyline about the act of creation and understanding. its essentially a story about understanding. as an alien-prequel, however, it sucks major ass. the xenomorph represents the complete opposite of creation and understanding. it represents the unknowable, and the dangers of deep space. its a movie about NOT understanding, about leaving something be, bc its so far removed from us and our understanding of biology. you dont understand where it comes from, how its body works, or how smart it really is. you just keep away from it.

Imagine going into stasis for what thousands maybe millions of years? Then being woken by your own creation that starts making demands while displaying extreme violence to their own kind. It's no wonder he wanted to kill them all.

[@valueofphi]

It was some couple thousand years give or take. The reason the engineers were going to kill off the humans was because of the way they treated Jesus Christ. Jesus was an "alien" sent by the Engineers to see if he could steer humanity away from violence. When they crucified him the Engineers were like "ok nah we have to kill them all off they're too far gone, it was a failed experiment." So that's why he was on his way to earth to destroy us.

[@valueofphi]

So being woken up by the very creations he was going to destroy and not only that he knew they shouldn't have been able to show up on his ship in a complete different planet definitely pissed him off a lot more lmao

I doubt this. Engineers have been creating and destroying their civilizations for billions of years so they are essentially accustomed to it. Engineers were also extra-pissed off at humans because not only did we go to war and commit heinous acts but we also killed their messenger. If there were a species that they would have second thoughts about destroying it definitely won’t be the humans.

@Abdo Abdo it was a sabotage actually, that's how the black liquid breached containment and they started getting infected.

The black liquid was to kill the humans and the Engineers are doing so because human strayed from the path of peace, they all have Aliens within them which is why they went into hypersleep, they didn't get "infected" they are hosts to the aliens that end up turning that last human girl into a xenomorph queen when everyone else dies including the engineer, the signal was for his people to come perform surgery on him to get the alien out of his chest.

I know the "Jesus subplot" that would have been revealed at the end of the movie since its established the "reality altering goo" that was either designed or discovered by the engineers didnt test well which is why in the final version of the film it was just never mentioned. Honestly, it makes it seem in context that "Jesus" wasnt so much crucified by the ruling elite to set an example for establishing a new religion without their approval and more so the "humans" that were apparently made from this goo attacked their "creator" because they "didnt look the same" So there is this weird grey area where this movie wants to be "Pro Atheist" believing how all religious figures are actually aliens of a higher plane of existence but also "Pro Eugenics" since the Engineers considers humans "a failed experiment and a massive waste of time" and the humans consider the Engineers xeno abominations despite being made by them. Like the Engineers are now somehow morally obligated to reveal the secrets of all their otherworldly technology and life extension techniques because "were from the same genetic family tree" Either way it was stupid for Weyland to come here.

Agreed. The deleted scene definitely gave the story a bit more meaning. That said, since the story is about a group of archeologists who only get to travel to another planet because some old coot who thinks he's 'deserving' because he's worth billions on earth wants to walk up to an alien he's never met before and knows nothing about and ask him to make him immortal 'just because', it does little to help in the end.

[@spaceflight1019]

I view this from the Star Fleet perspective, and a lesson on how NOT to do a First Contact situation. When the Engineer went into stasis the English language didn't yet exist, but he could certainly understand body language. Ignoring the school of thought that states that the Engineer was carrying an embryo and was expecting his people to arrive and remove it, he became angry because Weyland demanded that his life be extended as a reward for creating a synthetic person. The alternate ending to this scene has the Engineer, with a disgusted look on his face, re-entering the hypersleep chamber, lying down, and reactivating it. Everyone looks around, and someone says "Now what?"

And , The Aliens , hibernate as seeds in the containers. Maybe they wanted to survive the sinking of their planet. The brief to the engineers was simply to create a race that would then be available as a compatible resurrection host for the survival, or host body, to be used for the survival and resurrection of their own race. Just think how incredibly intelligent the alien is already acting shortly after birth. Whole armies are defeated by a single, newly born, tactically incredibly clever, newly born alien. Isn't it ???
