For The Record; This is Why David8 Got Torn Apart

Sooo... That means the Engineer's actions weren't really unnecessary? David done goofed! So the Engineer had to rip off his cage.

"had to" I don't know, but I am quite positive that was Part Of The Punishment To Mankind for stealing the fire like in the real mythology which also included the failed attempt to drop a lot of Black Goo On Earth !

Did not notice some of these specific things; however, I thought it was fairly obvious that David stealing the ampule was another reference to the myth. Also, Prometheus is credited with creating man along with another titan, so I do not see how people do not get the connection with the name of the film. Moreover, the Greeks took alot of what they knew from the Persians and the Romans from the Greeks, and we finally get some ties to Christianity. There are some major editing errors with this film, but you know what, it is still so gorgeous and fascinating that they are minor.

I don't think the engineer read David's mind.If that was the case why did he kill everyone else then decide to plot a course to earth to kill everyone there too?.. He also seems to show a tiny bit of emotion for the android just before tearing his head off.Its clearly in response to what is said to him.Because we don't know what David said,it has to be something other than was asked of him.Otherwise why no subs?.

you just answered your own question, because David8 messed with and then stole some of their fire, their most valued possession and the Key To Life In The Universe. Or he just as Snorkelbottom said despised mankind for even attempting to interfere and for just making a replicant of themselves which is an insult to their creator engineer...and just being in that chamber which I am sure is most sacred to him like a living room is to us, He killed them All because they ALL had a part in it, even Shaw whom he attempted to kill as well. The idea to plot a course to earth was his mission to begin with, he was just fulfilling it now that he had been awakened by David8 and at that point he was not going to let anything interfere with his own mission. It's a military installation and operation they were undertaking to Terra Form Earth ! It Clearly got interrupted 2000 years ago when one of the SJ's became pregnant with a "DEACON" {Milburn and Fifield comment on the bursted out chest on one of the Jockeys corpses they find in the tunnels}

Totally agree with you buddy!

the engineer can read minds by touching? so hes a real enlightend one, hmmmm maybe then he shouldnt hit other people..after ripping heads of others..hmm no, I rather think he´s jealous of his nice blonde arian looking hair, thinking " MAN..THIS is hair..I should have gotten SOME of this..and nipples...hmmm and maybe some eyebrows..and..maybe some decent skin colour and..even THIS ANDROID is looking better..this is getting me ANGRY.."

LOL man great post but It's not reading minds~ come on people~It reads the digital imprint on a chip. It, {The SJ/Engineer} can tell from scanning the stored data that David8 has "stolen they're fire and brought it out of their temple and on board Prometheus !!! But He CLEARLY is not just punishing it for being a Robot IMHO, he is punishing it for it's own actions.

Snorky don't read this till you see the film, dying to hear your take on it when you do !!! LOL, "fat chance he won't have one"!
