Here is a shot I took of my Neca Deacon figure in my custom diorama, might share some more stuff if people are interested in seeing more Prometheus Neca stuff. Thanks for looking :)
God talk about a horrible movie. The characters are about impossible to like or to even care about what’s happening to them. The story goes nowhere fast and depends on gore and the decently done sets to pass time. The ending is about us unsatisfying and lame of ending as you can get. Yeah that was a highly disappointed movie. I thought just thought I’d share my views.
Just a pic I made in photoshop using different techniques
After watching Prometheus, I started to see the Xenomorph as more than just a creature: it feels like a universal inevitability, something every civilization eventually encounters after crossing the singularity. It’s not just a living organism; it’s the embodiment of the infinite void, of something so alien and untouchable it will always lie beyond our understanding. The Engineers, as advanced as they are, seem to have faced it and realized how small they were in comparison. In their awe, they didn’t try to control it: they revered it.
You can see that reverence in everything they did. The altar they built, the emerald crystal holding its genetic material, and the unstable ampoules they created in its image—all these acts suggest they understood this being was far beyond moral distinctions. It’s not good or evil. It’s both, a perfect balance of creation and destruction. It doesn’t judge or choose; it simply exists, reshaping everything it touches. That’s what makes it the perfect organism, something eternal, beyond reason, and completely uncontainable.
Some have said this entity could represent the great filter, and honestly, I agree. If that’s true, it’s not something we can defeat or overcome. It’s our final reckoning, where all ambition and progress is challenged by something that’s simply infinitely bigger than us. It doesn’t care about our survival, morality, or goals—it’s just the universe at its most raw and powerful.
What do you think? Could the Xenomorph really represent something this profound? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Ridley Scott deepens the mystery of the Engineers by introducing Planet 4, a humanoid society that ceremonially welcomes the arrival of Engineers—their own evolutionary successors. This society has long since reached its Singularity, transcending conventional technological and spiritual boundaries. Their reverence toward the Engineers reveals a profound understanding: these beings are not merely superior aliens; they are the very culmination of Planet 4’s ancient journey toward enlightenment and mastery over creation.
This ceremonial reception suggests a complex relationship between creators and their evolved creations. Far from fear or rivalry, the people of Planet 4 honor the Engineers as embodiments of their highest achievements—beings who have perfected the knowledge, technology, and spirituality they once aspired to. The Engineers, in turn, are a living testament to the potential of an ancient society’s intellectual and spiritual ascendance, representing what can emerge when civilization itself transcends the need for earthly limitations.
Scott’s vision presents post-Singularity evolution as a deep journey where creation and reverence merge, revealing a new sense of purpose. Planet 4 and the Engineers embody what humanity might one day face: creations so advanced they reflect our highest aspirations, reshaping the very idea of progress. This vision challenges us to see evolution not as control over our creations but as a sacred alignment with them—a recognition of them as reflections of our collective spirit.
Sharing my insight—part analysis, part speculation. I’d love to discuss your take!
Does anyone have the 1080p version of the work print Prometheus cut? This was the 2.5 hour version that included all the deleted scenes and fan done cgi work to recreate the ending. I’ve put together a fan cut and tried to export it to find out my version was 720p :,( , can’t seem to find the original version at 1080p, Thanks

as a Prometheus superfan, i was always worried they would try to undermine the discoveries made in the movie, or even retcon the film altogether someday, and it seems this day may have come?
in fact, it might be both. because 1. the series is set BEFORE the events of the Prometheus, despite the fact that the ship was already on the way to LV-223. and 2, there are mentions of Weyland Yutani in the cast, confirming this is most likely an alternate timeline, as the two companies absolutely had not merged yet...
why would they do this exactly? i do not fully trust Disney and going the alternate universe route for this series seems like a bad choice. people are already confused enough with AVP and the comics i think. i want to trust this great show runner but his choices seem arrogant and defiant to me.
I finalized the title card animation for my fan-edit of Prometheus. i first drafted this edit 10 years ago and it's nearly finished! (sorry for phone video of my screen lol)
In the scene where Dr. Shaw and Dr. Ford were examining the head, Charlie looks very annoyed and then when the head explodes, he jumps off the table/bench like a petulant child. It's always bothered me for some reason--am I reading this scene incorrectly?
