While we're theorizing, what if the "why" questions we're asking aren't deep at all and they just made the humans because "they can" (as david says) and used them as some sort of science experiment, and wanted to use the goo on them just to see what would happen. why else would they have a huge stockpile of that shyt in ships
But there was more then 1 ship on that planet..........
movie is a fukking headache tryna make it make sense
Its interesting how the black shyt effects things differently, like your intentions changed how it effected you. In the very beginning that engineer drinks it and it disassembles his dna and he falls into the waterfall but when that geologist nikka had it he turned into a murderous monster. What if they intended to send Jesus to purify the intentions and souls of the human race in an effort to use the goo to evolve them but then they crucified him
I give up thinking about this shyt..
edit:edited it slightly
I think we're getting somewhere. The goop evolves what is in the heart of the person so in the example of Christ, if he could effect humanity as a whole then humanity could evolve to a higher stage of conciousness when they are exposed to the goop.
I dont know what that says about the thing that woman got impregnated with though. I guess its a *transitional form*
I know the sequels arent going to be nearly this thought out.Yea they got to different habital planets and make humans and experiment on them for kicks trying to create the perfect species.

Stop trying to make sense of something that the creators themselves can't make sense of.

And if you want to think ahead to the next movie, there could be some sort of galactic conflict the engineers would need a weapon for (using the Xenomorph) ridley scott is going to take the sequel into a totally diff direction
They had all those planets mapped out on their little grid. Those could have been all of the charted planets where they created other life forms.

Indeed..Even though I really enjoyed this movie I feel like if it was a DIRECT prequel people would've overall enjoyed it better, I don't understand why they couldn't have done a direct prequel, and then branched out away from the typical Alien universe and explore the engineer society and the bigger galactic picture.
and it also leaves everyone who were fans of the original Alien wondering what happened to the space jockey on the crashed ship there with his chest bursted open and how the alien queen came about (Remember they were EGGS not vials on the OG Alien)

fukk I'm even more confused now.I think we're getting somewhere. The goop evolves what is in the heart of the person so in the example of Christ, if he could effect humanity as a whole then humanity could evolve to a higher stage of conciousness when they are exposed to the goop.

The impregnation thing has me buggin, because, does a face hugger always come as a result of black goo contact with a human? I had the idea that the Xenomorph is born from the inherent sin of humans...but those engineers were theoretically attacked by a xenomorph and they had paintings of a xenomorph in that room with the big head. Maybe the black goo acted on her in such a way because 1. She had sex with a guy who was infected with it and 2. She wasn't able to have human babies and that was a big hole in her life that she dwelled on a lot. Also why did the xenomorph look different from the fully evolved one in Alien? fukk there are just so many questions.

I think this movie ties in with the predator timeline in Aliens vs Predator. What if the Engineers were at war with the predators and created the xenomorphs as a biological weapon against them but it backfired. The engineers running in the hologram looked like they were running from something trying to get to that room where their "weapons" were. That would also explain the pile of dead engineers the two cacs found.
Think about it they were meant to go back 2000 years ago but diddn't make it. that would tie in with the whole pyramid built by the predators on earth 2000 years ago. They were on there way to handle business and go attacked before they were able to go. The only survivor managed to seal himself off in that room and go to sleep.

Don't make sense. In AVP, The Predators were worshiped by humans and they used to face huggers to create Aliens for the Predators to hunt and collect trophies like every other Predator flick. Maybe the Predators figured out what the black goo could do and simply used it to create aliens so they could have a better hunting challenge as the humans back then were probably easy as fukk to kill.
We have to keep i mind that her man was a prick. We never got to see how far that goop was going to effect him but he was clearly out of his rabid ass mind from the short time he was exposed to it. I think if you are exposed to the goop through sex then you give birth to a face hugger who then gives birth to the new life form. I dont think you can get to a new life form without a face hugger.fukk I'm even more confused now.

Yea i would love it if they tied this movie into the Predator race. Like 2 gods fighting for the admiration and worship of humanity.
So they were heading to earth 2000 years ago before they went to sleep?happened then?
According to Ridley Scott, Jesus was an Engineer sent to guide humanity back in the right direction after the they decided we were getting off track and becoming too warlike and cruel. We killed him, which is when they decided there was no hope left for us and that we had to be destroyed before we became a real threat.
The planned attack is ruined because of whatever extinction event involving the black goo getting out of control happens at that base, and when the Engineer wakes up, he finds humans who are just as petty (he sees them arguing and Shaw getting hit) as before, but now with enough technology to actually find him, trying to ask him for eternal life.
It's a
explanation, but sadly, it's the one he intended. Note that the film takes place on Christmas, so the 2,000 years ago thing refers to the death of Jesus.
