Question: Why does David think aliens are the most perfect creatures?

Because my wife liked "Prometheus" back then, she even revisited "Pu" before watching the movie... I have to say that compared to the previous work, this sequel is a bit disappointing to me (one star for the old man, right?) .

First of all, although human death is a necessary procedure in this kind of film, there are too many noises in the film... In a strange planet without a helmet or protective clothing, you can't stay in pairs, and there is no good isolation mechanism... I feel that the IQ is going backwards compared to "Pu" More than ten years...

At the same time, almost all human characters are flattened, which is far less remarkable than the few characters in "Pu". A large number of plots are used to portray biochemical people, and human beings are completely reduced to supporting roles. Seeing my race is so aggrieved, this is probably one of the reasons why I don't get used to it...

This film is obviously moving closer to "Alien 1", strengthening the killing part and downplaying the exploration plot. The "Why create?" always revolved in the "Public" was also replaced by David's "faith is to create". No more questions, simple and rude. But the most terrible thing is that those scenes with the most impact were smashed by our great ** (you-know-who) without saying a word, so the feeling after watching the movie became... um, I always feel somewhere No... Although it is only a few minutes, it is estimated that the absence of these clips will be devastating to the progress of the whole film.

More importantly, I have a point that I still don't understand, why does David think that the alien is the most perfect creature? In the film, David, as a biochemical man who can think independently and constantly evolve, learns music, painting, reciting poetry...all of which reveal that "art" is the greatest crystallization in human history. So, what do the aliens have? Is the survival of the strong in pure physics perfect? Wouldn't this run counter to David's constant learning?

Anyway... I want to say too much nonsense. Short comments turn into long comments... It is said that the time line of the next part is between "Pu" and "Qi", so I hope the old man can fill in the dug hole step by step. Well... life extension × 100
