The most interesting point was that Hercules saves Prometheus from the whole getting his liver eaten by an eagle for eternity problem. I don't have time now, but I'll have a longer look at the myth later.
So, is the next movie called Hercules, or possibly Herakles (the Greek name)?

If we are tossing in names for rescue ships, I would like to toss [i]Sugar Twinkle[/i] into the mix.
Also, [i]Sassy Baskets[/i].

Interesting. Hercules could be the name of the next ship in Prometheus 2 which goes out to rescue Prometheus in a metaphorical way as you stated. Certainly interesting.
Great post!

I think the plot will just have a vague if not none reference to the prometheus myth ....we have already a ship named Prometheus , we cant have also a plot as the same ...will be ridicolous .
It will be like having a movie with a ship named Ulysses ( Odysseus ) that get stranded in the space for many years ....silly .

Rumor has it that Kevin Sorbo has been in talks with Fox about starring in an upcoming sci-fi film to be directed by Ridley Scott (or one of Scott's contemporaries). Lucy Lawless has declined to comment at this time.

@The Doctor,
lol. Welcome to this forum, where people do post things like "stupid ship names". Because it's funny, and especially because it's in the [b]Community[/b] portion of the forum.

Maybe or maybe we would see a element of that being released by a Hero in this movie?

For a long time I've had a feeling that one of the crew will benefit from the infection/ genetics of the gods... and this character metaphorically represents Hercules, or a demi-god (mixture of god and man) within the film. This character is able to fight off the monsters threatening the crew after he purposely finds a way to mutate himself, but remains in control, i.e. doesnt start attacking the crew, because he's a synthetic creation of humans and doesn't mutate fully.

Mala'kaka, I like the idea of a super or enhanced human transformed by the bioengineer's "fire". David may also fit this profile, although we would have diffullty calling him human. Still, his attributes do seem super human even though he can only simulate human emotions.
Or maybe Weyland becomes or is the super human.
There is also the Pandora angle. Zeus releases a woman, Pandora, on mankind. In one story, she opens a vessel that uleashes all kinds of pain and misery on mankind.
We have vessels in Prometheus. So, maybe Vickers is Pandora. I can see her ordering David to open the vessel, which creates a plague on mankind.
