DNA Interpretation

I am actually unaware of what Ridley’s take is on any of this stuff if he’s spoken about it already but anyway this is what I came up with… The black oil is something that mutates specific DNA types in a host carrier relationship. Its not something that creates all life. Its got to be something that creates life on certain terms. I think it has a method but I think it is incompatible where the oil is mixed directly with Human DNA. Perhaps the real purpose of the engineer was to come back to earth and run experiments to create new species that could be used elsewhere? A new slave race for instance? Its no different than Weyland having David created. After thinking about this, I believe the first engineer could have been on LV-223. The engineer decides that he can not go along with his race’s plans just as I’m sure there would be some human opposed to the creation of David the android. In fact you can see the attitude by many of the crew towards David. I think David resented them…. So anyway, we see 1st engineer in a robe near a waterfall that goes into a river. The amount of oil he ingests destroys him and we are shown on a molecular level how it destroys his DNA and it continues to destroy. Would it stop destroying if it came into contact with other organisms in the water? What would it do to the water? What would that oil do to plant life or trees? Were the earthworms natural to that planet or were they only on the engineers ship because they had a specific plan or experiment? And could the destructiveness of the oil affect the atmosphere? Remember when our crew arrived there was very little oxygen and primarily carbon. Remember the decapitated space jokey? They carbon dated his body at what was it? 2000 years? Is it possible that what the 1st engineer set in motion could have taken 2000 years for LV-223 to have the atmosphere that it does when our crew arrives? 2000 years since the engineers were supposed to come to earth!! 2000 years for humans to evolve. Can you imagine seeing the moral issues in their society play out like issues in our own society and they completely forgot about us?? But back on track, these Engineers have the same DNA as us its not a far stretch to assume that they need oxygen to breath. Notice when they entered the engineers space ship, there was oxygen. That was a stupid thing to do to remove their helmets but I think it was more Ridley stressing the oxgen angle. Apparently the engineers need oxygen. If not, why generate oxygen for thousands of years? My only thing, is that if they need Oxygen then at the end when the Engineer goes after shaw, we see him without his elephant mask. Do you think he used it on the way to the pod and took it off in the other room? If so, he’s a dummy he could have used that against squid baby. Also he must share the same DNA as this crew because he was so arrogant to not bring a weapon. He didn’t even bring a blade. Now I was disappointed to see him go out like that….He went out like a punk…He could have sliced that squid and grilled his ass for lunch…jeez And then the result of the squid having come from host Shaw who was impregnated by Holloway who I think is unable to be used directly by the oil as a “host” but can be used as a carrier, remember the piles of spacejokeys on the alien ship? Remember how Mohawk dude mutated and freaked out? I think he would have blown up like the decap head if left alone and would have been like the pile of space jockeys. Anyway Squid kid and dumb rage engineer now equals Giger’s elongated alien head standing upright….For me, I laughed in the theater cuzz that was like Ridley throwing up a middle finger!
