Why The Prometheus Engineer Creates Humans, Just To Kill Them...

Why HAL 9000 Doesn't Want To Kill, But Has To... (2001: A Space Odyssey): kzbin.info/www/bejne/imTJcoKBntN7o5I

[@beastman1083]

Hal 9000 had short circuited because of having contractions in his Prime Directive Programing, i.e., Cognizant Dissonance. Example, Hal was given the Prime Directive to protect and maintain ship functions and Humans. Trouble is Hal's contradictory program overlapped the Prime Program with Protecting / maintaining the actual mission secret keeping the astronauts ignorant. Even a Human would have trouble with these contradictive orders.

A common theme in SF: Man's hubris results in getting destroyed by his own creations. Frankenstein: Dr. Frankenstein's ambition and arrogance drive him to create life, but his creation ultimately leads to his ruin. Jurassic Park: John Hammond recreating dinosaurs leads to catastrophic consequences when his creations break free. Blade Runner: The Tyrell Corporation's creation of advanced replicants leads to chaos and questioning of humanity itself. Metropolis (1927 film): Rotwang's creation of the robot Maria wreaks havoc on the city, demonstrating the dangers of unchecked ambition and technological advancement. 2001: A Space Odyssey: The AI HAL 9000, designed to assist the human crew, becomes a threat when its programming conflicts with human commands. Etc.... If you accept Scott's notion that the xenomorph is created by the Engineers, they are also an example of being destroyed by their own hubris. (I prefer to ignore Prometheus and Covenant as not being canon, as I prefer to imagine xenomorphs as the end result of an evolutionary process in a particularly harsh environment, and they're eventually cultivated by the "engineers" as a WMD).

[@KneelB4Bacon]

When we see how violently the Engineer reacts to the humans, Shaw asks the obvious audience question, "why do you hate us? why do you want to kill us?" THIS is the question Lindelof set up in the beginning of the movie (faith and humanity's place in the universe). Was creating us a mistake? If so, WHY was creating us a mistake? You finally meet your creators and learn that they want to KILL YOU. That's a profound, terrifying idea. But Lindelof doesn't know how to answer that question. So he answers a different question, instead: Weyland wants more life. That's right, a minor, late-introduced character that nobody cares about answers a question that nobody asked. Lindelof tries to make Weylands argument sound lofty and poetic with his, "I Created David So We Are Both Like The Gods" speech. But really, this is Lindelof telling us that he is NEVER going to answer Shaw's question. And before you can figure out that you've just been tricked and all that build-up was for nothing, Lindelof bails out of this scene by making the Engineer irrationally angry and try to kill everyone. Now NO other questions can be answered. Isn't that convenient for Lindelof? Remember that the Engineer just woke up from stasis. He has NO idea what's going on . . . how long it's been . . . what's going on back home or who these humans are. This is what's called "Mystery Box Writing." The way it works is you set up a mystery that the audience REALLY wants to know the answer to. Then, when the time comes in the story to answer that question you either 1) Don't answer the question, 2) Answer a different question. 3) Postpone answering the question ("a good question. for another time"). Lindelof did this over and over again in "Lost." And audiences fall for this bait-and-switch storytelling all the time. They think that the movie was "deep" (because it asked a deep question) but they can't remember WHY it was deep (because that question was never answered). It's a cheap writing technique for dumb hacks.

[@ben66562]

Great comment. You should make videos

[@theparalexview785]

Weyland's unexpected presence on the ship and subsequent scene makes better sense if we regard the TED Talk scene with the younger Weyland as part of the canon. I never watched Prometheus or Covenant in theaters. By the time I watched the movies online, I'd already viewed the TED Talk and other deleted scenes on KZbin. So from that perspective, Weyland's appearance on the ship fit. But those deleted scenes robbed the movie of essential context. Basically, terrible editing. I mean, in addition to the utter stupidity of the crew on planet.

The Star Map was never a invitation.... Its not really explained why it points to the system....or what LV-223 was beyond a Biological Warfare Lab. However that Cave painting is Thousands of Years older than the OUTBREAK on LV-223.... Did the Engineers create a Pathogen to destroy Earth and then show a Map but then wait Thousands of Years before deciding to use the Pathogen only to have a OUTBREAK? It could be that LV-223 was something else at the time of the Cave Paintings.... I Speculate it could have been a Laboratory where they TEST their Evolutionary Steps... a Sandbox a Nursery of sorts... where they evolved us from. So maybe the Star Map is saying "this is where you are from" It is not where the Engineers were from..... maybe it could be pointed to the constellation the Engineers were from... but as the Engineers Planet may have been cloaked (idea in earlier drafts of Alien Covenant). Then LV-223 was the World that Dr Shaw assumed it was due to being the only suitable Place within the Constellation/Star Map.

Men created AI, and by and large have no respect for it (the prologue of Alien Covenant with Weyland and David further supports this).

Because the studio heads think we the viewers are idiots with zero attention span. The deleted scene the KZbinr is referencing to was mostly filmed. It's an extended version of what we got in the theatrical version. So the studio head or some other big wig thought we were too stupid and wouldn't be able to follow David and the Engineer talking. But when you watch the extended version, it's so much better and full of suspense once the Engineer wakes up and looks over and talks to the David and Weyland. You get a much better understanding as to WHY the Engineers were going to wipe out humanity.

[@gws1980]

Deleted scenes are also not canon unfortunately. They're cut content, no different than brainstorming ideas during script writingthat never go anywhere. They just made it further along in the process before being scrapped. Why was the idea scrapped? My guess is, it's too on the nose. It's better if the humans actually DON'T know the engineers' motivations. Same for the audience. That is the entire point and concept behind a franchise called "ALIEN" - that's the terror, the unknown entities that are so alien to us, we can't figure out what it is they want other than that they are killing us. Once you start to give them motivations and reasoning, they become less alien and then less terrifying.

So, the reason none of this made sense in the movie is because Scott either cut out, or never shot, the scenes that would have made sense of it.

[@BrockLee3]

There is another explanation as well. The Engineers hate synthetic/artificial life (robots/androids); that's why David was decapitated. Engineers also dislike violence; so, seeing that gaurd hit Elizabeth Shah, he knew these humans were still as violent as ever, so he wanted to kill them. However, when the Engineer ran after Shah, he stumbled into that room with the chandelier, and the video of the girl playing the violin...he saw these "humans" knew about art, music, and had developed an actual culture. Then, you see the Engineer walk up to Shah, and he just STARES at her with those big, puppy-dog eyes. THAT MOMENT was the moment when the Engineer changed his mind about killing Shah and ALL of humanity...but, Shah didn't understand what he was doing, because the Engineer didn't say anything....and, she stands up with the axe and starts attacking him, and he ended up dying because of her actions getting him impregnated by that Tentacled Xenomorph. Also, Elizabeth Shah AND every one of those crew members were COMPLETE idiots. They didn't do ANYTHING correctly. Watch the movie again and just LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF MISTAKES they all make. And, THAT was supposed to be the best of the best which Wayland could come up with? Pssh! They all got what they deserved just for being stupid...and, they almost got ALL OF HUMANITY killed.

And, another human attacks the one yelling. AND, they brought artificial "life" with them. NOT a good way to start your day.

But the Engineer, they really need to dive a little deeper into the b/ground of the Engineers because they are a welcome distraction from the XX121 Xenomorph.

That's why we are alone. Why we never see life. Because they decided to leave us alone to kill each other.

i believe this as well no planet around or near us support life like ours, if it did we'd prolly fuck that up too

[@ethrlee]

i think we don't see life because they're hiding from us. the "dark forest hypothesis" gives an idea that the universe is teeming with life that is avoiding becoming prey from other life. we are the inquisitive barbaric civilization aliens avoid.

[@ethrlee]

the "dark forest hypothesis" explains this. we are possibly the civilization that other life around the galaxy avoids. violent, inquisitive, self destructive. if you ever played the game spore you know what i mean lol.

4:07 So that's why was all removed, they threw jesus in there and no one wanted it to be a religious movie.

[@joelpaz9506]

They could've just eluded a Messiah and combine religions to keep it ambiguous. I would've loved to see those scenes make the cut.

[@rah-mown6392]

No, they just didn’t want people hating jews even more than they already do

[@heliosjiee]

It being a religious movie would have hardly been the problem, rather the problem is a certain group in the middle east would've been mightily upset by the implication of the exact text that was uttered.

[@TROPtastic]

​@@heliosjiee I don't think the Ultra Orthodox being upset by a random American science fiction movie would be a big deal.

[@heliosjiee]

This particular group in a certain levantian region of the middle east hanged jesus to the cross. Incidentally, this same group also controls Hollywood.

Maybe the narrator of this KZbin channel should ask original writer of Prometheus these questions about engineer species and all creations in our galaxy and beyond?

Ridley Scott himself was asked about the story of Prometheus and explain it. He gave a nonsensical response, that was effectively he did not know. Not as bad as Tim Burton trying to explain the ending of his version of Planet of the Apes, notably more nonsensical.

Thankfully this was left out of the finished movie. The film is already populated with so many too dumb to live type characters for it all to be just a pseudo Christian allegory would have rendered it unwatchable.

[@icLllliIIIIlILLilLlIjigel]

Most religions had a Jesus-like figure them. If we narrow it down to jews that could be jesus, we have the 2000 years as a hint,. But many people taught the same thing and did the same miracles. It took long until one of them became a true Jesus figure. So did the prometheans take all of them? Why not say so? And if not, why did many know the same things and do the same miracles indepently of each other?

[@saidakhu]

Why do so many people just accept that this is an authentic 'deleted scene' instead of doing the two minutes of research necessary to establish that it is in fact completely fake?

[@joshuastrittmatter4188]

I wrote a whole ass comment about it yesterday. But for some reason it seems to have completely disappeared.

Because people talk about the idea, not about the movie itself.
