I love Alien and I think quite rightly of Engineers as not being in any way meaningfully related to the original concept. Not too much to think about there really, just an infinite regress of glued on explanatory bollocks that gets progressively lesser the more it expands - thin, sort of stretched - like a turd … scraped over too much bread.
@@jester5ify They want us to keep trying to guess if there is actually a story or coherent philosophical concept hiding somewhere in the cavalcade of Discovery Channel pop culture references and proposed monsters none of which are really interesting enough to actually sustain a movie on their own. Sadly as it unsurprisingly turns out - a handful of superficial shit monstrosities do not add up to 1 functional piece of horror, and 100 hints and speculations do not add up to 1 coherent throughline or engaging theme. It really is the Von Däniken school of hypotheticals applied to moviemaking.
@@nikolayhristov2345 You are simply describing the reduction of an aesthetically unique rendition of the unknown that cosmic horror relies on to function into something mundane and trivial, replacing compelling mystery with a contrived “explanation” that carries less weight than the original premise. You correctly spotted the fatal flaw of the prometheus outgrowth, you just think its a virtue apparently because its quantifiable to you.

Agreed, but they want us to eat that turd sandwich and be thankful.

The engineers are the most interesting part of the story. The xenomorphs we see are just a weapon... that actually David perfected.

Just recapping stuff already seen a thousand times. 😒
The deacon is the result of David. Not the engineers
Why do you talk like that? every paragraph you end in a higher tone and its annoying
I had to stop watching actually
C'mon its not that bad bro I thought it was a decent video except for the clickbait title
@@peterinfamilyguy it’s just if its kind of your job 😏
You could put that in a more constructive manner as opposed to whining.
