I haven't seen the movie, but it sounds like it could lend some plausibility to the virgin birth.

Red Letter Media talks about Prometheus (major spoilers)

Oddly, Red Letter has a long-form, 30-minute, straight review where they give it largely a positive marks. Yet in that 4-minute comedy version linked to above, they rip it to shreds to great comic effect.


:confused: Confusing though.

Cognitive dissonance at work. Over time, I suspect the consensus on Prometheus will shift to the negative as people leave behind the fact that they wanted to like it so much. (Kinda like Phantom Menace. I had some friends who spent a year or two coming to grips with that one. Their inner struggle was actually more entertaining than the movie.)

Using graphics I found at the listed web site, here is the reproductive livecycle indicated in Prometheus:

VAM!

Not too much VAM. I just took the original graphic and presented it in a different way.

Gotcha. Keep the mojo. You can use it if I forget next time.

From IndieWire.

Spoiler:
...what did we do to make God/our creators angry? Well, if you theorized that it was because we crucified Jesus, you win! Confirming that at one point the script explicitly spelled this out, Scott says that was the direction they were taking with the story -- at least at first. "We definitely did, and then we thought it was a little too on the nose," he admits. "But if you look at it as an 'our children are misbehaving down there' scenario, there are moments where it looks like we’ve gone out of control, running around with armor and skirts, which of course would be the Roman Empire. And they were given a long run. A thousand years before their disintegration actually started to happen. And you can say, 'Let’s send down one more of our emissaries to see if he can stop it.' Guess what? They crucified him."


Screw you, Ridley Scott.

I don't care. If it wasn't in the movie, it doesn't exist. It's that simple. How many people will research the director's mcguffin motives vs. how many will see the movie?


For all I know, there could be tons of crazy ideas behind far better films that never made it into those far better films. In much the same way that I don't care at all about the personal lives of artists whose work I enjoy, I really don't care about the backstory inside a director's head that remained hidden there.


What still matters is what a shoddy piece of work Prometheus is ... though I suppose this points out how it could have been much worse. :rolleyes:
