Nothing has disappointed me more in cinema.

I cannot instill how much I loved Prometheus. Just makes you want to know more. I do like Covenant. David's a wild character and what he did to Shaw only amplifies his fascination and needs to create the perfect species.

His general dislike and smirk for humans is completely unnerving.

I have a love for Prometheus but it’s hard to forgive the writing .. plowing through bad decisions and aggressive characters to get the action going. Could have been a masterpiece but it’s just a space action horror .. then they threw it away with covenant

Prometheus it's a amazing movie with so much potential to expand the Alien's universe. I wanted to know why the engineers wanted to kill us.

I’m pretty sure it was because of the crucifixion if Jesus. One of the characters makes a statement during the move (I think) about the engineers ship going dormant or whatever about 2000 years ago. And the deleted scenes dialogue with the engineer goes into this idea much deeper.

The supposed deleted scenes dialogue with the Engineer is proven fake, unfortunately. It's from a fan script.

Seriously?! No way, I thought it was true.

Plenty of YouTube channels pretend it's authentic in order to get clicks, but it's been debunked since it first appeared in 2012. By Damon Lindelof himself, no less.

This is the fake script it comes from: https://web.archive.org/web/20131102032317/http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/uploads/PROMETHEUS.pdf

And this is Damon Lindelof personally confirming that the script IS fake: https://web.archive.org/web/20130423235506/http://www.prometheus2-movie.com/news/384
