Prometheus Mutations Chart

1st. killed by??? PREDATORS

2nd. Who are the "DEACON"??? XENOMORPH???

there were 2 liquids
the ooze in the ampules that david stole and the goop that the ampules were in that leaked onto the worms

@angus666

LMFAO!!!!

Superman: the same reason an egg opened up when the crew arrived in the original Alien- they're suspended until motion or another living creature is present.

I remember watching the the first Alien and wondering where the Space Jockey and the Xenomorph came from. After seeing Prometheus, they both seem so much less interesting now. I imagined some weird Xenomorph homeworld, completely designed by Geiger. This rogue biological weapon angle is the lamest possible origin they could have come up with.

They mentioned when the door opened that they changed the atmosphere in the pyramid. It was airtight and thats why the head was so well preserved, it had been infected by the goo, but it wasn't allowed to mutate.

I don't believe that the "disintegration" of the lone engineer and his DNA could result in humans, especially when human DNA is relatively similar to other great apes. The fact that human DNA is about 98% the same as that of chimpanzee is because humans and chimps share a common evolutionary ancestor. It seems dubious to think that the lone engineer's DNA was responsible for all life on earth. I could maybe, if ever so slightly, imagine that the engineers were responsible for influencing the DNA of early apes creatures resulting in a separate species of early hominids whose evolution eventually gives rise to humans.

You shouldn't have to need a chart to figure out a movie, as far as I am concerned anyway. Being thought-provoking is fine, but having to figure out what the heck is going on is another matter.

@Thamorse I also imagined a Xenomorph planet. I think that it would be a for more interesting angle of how different life is physically and behaviorally on other planets. The idea of a technologically advanced race (like the engineers) being threatened by intrinsically instinctive but intelligent creatures like the Xenomorphs is fascinating.

What I absolutely dispised about Prometheus was the part of Shaw's cross and her "faith". Provoking and idiotic. If I were running around in that movie, I would not believed in anything else than mortality.

The whole point of us coming from the engineers are somewhat stupid. If they seeded our earth, if you will, and all life are based on their dna, then why the hell do we look almost completely alike them after 3,5 billion years? Mutations and ontogeny would have changed so radically. So did they seed the earth, then came dinsosaurs et al, then a little furry creature survived that would result in us ancestry, then we ended looking up like them? I love science fiction, the whole science with fiction.

Anyways, I enjoyed the movie. My friend(biologist) thought it was not well planned out that part. And also completely absurd, as I found; the whole Shaw and engineers evolution.

Good job, man! This solves the track and order of which things occur. While I am curious as to what the Engineers are up too, I always want to get pissed scared by some Xenomorphs! Please for the love of God Ridley Scott, if you make another, your making it R, might as well make it like '79 Alien and scare the living hell out of us, give us more suspicion and a sense of rummy.

@thalidomide it's true lol.

@LOUDNOISES: Something to do with discovery and David being instructed to try harder to whomever he was talking to in the helmet with the yellow visor immediately prior to that scene.

The Engineers ARE the missing link. BOOM

The one good part of the movie was the opening sequence and it went right over the heads of even the people who say the movie was smart.

If you extend the theory of evolution all the way back, way before apes, way before reptiles, way before fish, all the way to the beginning the well established and accepted theory is that life started when primordial goo spontaneously became alive and evolved into very simple single celled organisms, then to multiple celled organisms and on and on until it was fish, who grew legs, etc. etc. Look up 'abiogenesis'. This is what was depicted on the screen after the DNA all turned black and disintegrated, it started evolving into single and then multiple celled organisms.

All Prometheus did was throw out the idea that the life did not spontaneously come from inorganic material, it came from the DNA of alien engineers.

The movie did nothing to show that Engineers only created humans. It quite clearly showed that they created all life on Earth.

The part where they say that humans have the exact same DNA as the Engineers was just stupid. They tried to dumb down actual scientific fact and instead were left with a scientific impossibility. It is fact that all animals on Earth share common DNA, humans and house flies have something like 30% similar DNA; this makes sense if we all evolved from the same source. What is retarded is saying that humans have the exact same DNA as a species that is not exactly the same as us. We aren't 10 feet tall, we aren't strong enough to tear the heads off of cyborgs with our hands, etc. To say that we have the exact same DNA as the Engineers would be the same as saying that we have the exact same DNA as Cro-Magnons. It just isn't accurate.

I have read an interesting theory about the first Alien movie. The ship, the jockey and the xenomorph were partly biomechanical, a fact which has mostly been ignored in the sequels. The ship was a biomechanical structure and the eggs and the pilot were just created by it, as there was no queen alien in the first movie. The derelict had just one purpose, the destruction of sentient life, perhaps it came from a dark dimension, full of Giger-designed nightmares, to our side. Somehow, someone attacked the pilot and implanted a xenomorph in it, thus disabling the ship and interrupting its mission.

There was only on Allspark Black goo in the film. I goo that leaked out of the canisters is the same stuff that David infected Halloway with. You can tell because it mutated Halloway and the geologist the same way. The crap that the engineer drank is the same stuff, because it looks the same and the movie doesn't tell us that its different. And IF it is different liquid, then the whole opening scene doesn't belong in the movie.

no there were 2 liquids, the canisters were a direct homage to the eggs from alien, in the way the looked when first entering the room and the basic shape and structure.(and obviously contained seeds of life)

metal egg shaped canister filled with a liquid, (that reacts to the change in atmosphere from condensation, and leaks) bearing a capsule with another liquid inside.just like the egg white and the yolk.

if there was only 1 liquid then david need not have broken open the glass thing to get at the other goop, he could have simply dipped his finger in that puddle.

ughhhh!!!!!

the whole cross thing and faith blah blah blah.....
was about who made the engineers!!!! who made them!!!!
