Various speculations about Prometheus

Because I only watched it once in the cinema, it is estimated that many details have been overlooked. First, I will sort out the general context. It is estimated that there are some discrepancies.
Time: 209X, approximate year
Spaceship: Prometheus
Destination: CNM438 Planet (whatever you write, it's a code name anyway)
Crew: 17 people (the above subtitles are the same as Alien 1, tribute or inheritance, after all, they are all old Lei’s work) uses the lens to show the general shape of the spacecraft, advanced instruments and sleeping cabins, wake up to eat together, and briefly introduce the employment relationship between the boss and the crew (also echoes with Alien 1), the following is the character introduction:
In order to facilitate some and The audience who don't remember their names are easy to know. I will re-label them: male lead, female lead, robot, biochemist (the one who was caught by the big earthworm), geographer (the one with tattoos on the face), female doctor (Women with short red hair can also be classified as soy sauce), the female boss, the female boss and her father, the black captain, the white vice captain, the yellow man vice captain, and several others who played soy sauce cannon fodder (no dialogue).
Mission: According to clues from all over the earth, find the god who created human beings.
Subject: The theory that God created mankind.

Other species
of bald stars and theoretically they are the bottles and jars that hold the black potion (note that these bottles and jars are different in shape from the one in 1, they are flat bottom and flat mouth, and the one in Alien 1 is egg-shaped), Referred to as black bottle, liquid referred to as "black medicine" (black bottle similar to human biochemical weapons utensils)
various species and evolution before the birth of aliens. (Subject: The theory of evolution... contradicts the above)
Because the door of the room where the black bottle is stored is opened, resulting in changes in airflow quality or various environmental factors (a bit of a butterfly effect), it begins to flow out slowly, at this time pay attention to details" The director of "Earthworm" used a close-up, which lasted 1-2 seconds, and was stepped on. This should be a species at the bottom of the biological chain, and was accidentally stepped on by someone (like the male protagonist). Or not at all.
After the earthworm was soaked in black medicine, we saw a new species: the big JB earthworm
The biochemist made fun of the big JB earthworm, but the cup was broken. JB earthworm broke his hand and got into his body. The geologist went to cut it. The blood composition is similar, and both are highly corrosive.) It splashed on the helmet, and it hung up. At the same time, it was soaked in the black water, as if the female doctor was attacked by the creatures in his body when she went to see his body. Because it was too fast and too dark, I couldn't see the specific species clearly. The biologist who was caught by the big JB earthworm turned into a new species, a zombie monster that killed all the cannon fodder and soy sauce. This is obviously different from the male protagonist's mutation. The male protagonist is conscious, but his body is necrotic, while the biochemist is an unconscious, powerful monster. Finally got killed.
Then he said that the male protagonist hasn't gotten sick after being infected, and he and the female protagonist XXOO. The film deliberately explained that the heroine was infertile. But it was there the next day, and a new species was here: the same thrashing monster as Alien. The same is true for the initial form: it is egg-shaped, not a small black bottle, and then is a key before the official birth of the alien, that is, the face monster has found its host - the bald star. In Alien 1, the face-fighting monster found an ordinary person (with the same DNA as the bald star), and the chest-breaking monster was born. In contrast to 1, the volume of this film is larger, and the breeding host has been upgraded from a human to a star human, so the chest-breaking monster is an alien that is about to take shape after the birth. Many people think that this alien is the queen of aliens in the future. possible. Logically it is not contradictory. At this point, our great alien was born.

Talking about black medicine is a key thing
Assuming that the black medicine drank by the bald star is the same substance as the black medicine stored in the flat-bottomed jar, it can be deduced that the male protagonist is infected, but he will not become a monster, and he will just die because the bald star drank one The big cup, the male protagonist drank a drop of alcohol mixed with it, and the symptoms before death were very similar, all of which were darkened face, various skin necrosis, weakness, etc., and the film specially explained that the DNA of bald stars and humans is the same. Therefore, I personally understand that the male protagonist will not be alienated or reborn a new species when infected, but just die and disappear. This may also be the original intention of the bald star's artificial bottle. They didn't want to create aliens, but just wanted to create a biochemical weapon to destroy human beings. And according to the myth of Prometheus, the god who created man may be the bald star in the title, or he may have created the earth at that time. Maybe the earth already had life, but maybe not human, and then from the bald star who likes large-scale Judging from the production of biochemical weapons and the act of killing after waking up in the film, it should be a relatively violent race (this is also inherited from humans, because humans naturally like to kill, and the war will not stop after human beings), the bald star should be It belongs to a race that takes the pleasure of destroying other planets and is the only one who dominates. So the person who created the earth was exiled to the earth, and the punishment was a bottle of black medicine. The bald star in the title thought that he was dead anyway, so he drank it directly. The original effect of the medicine was seen by everyone. But his DNA entered the water and flowed to the sea (in the theory of evolution, the source of life is the sea, which coincides with this) guess: The bald star did not want to create earthlings, he just created a living earth, the birth of life He violated the belief in racial destruction, was exiled and committed suicide. As a result, his DNA entered the sea, and then he had the theory of human evolution. Therefore, the human beings now have the same DNA as the bald star, a similar survival form, and the same love as Habits of killing and violence.
Finally, the conclusion after watching the film, if all the guesses are correct, then the director's so-called proposition, why did God create man? There is an answer.
To put it bluntly, God never thought of creating man. It was all an accident. It's like a man and a woman just fired a shot for fun, and the result was, the child was born, no more, Nima child grew up and went through a lot of hardships to find his own parents and questioned why he was born, but in exchange he said: That is an accident. You are just a drop into your mother's womb. small sperm. . . (The sperm is a drop of white. It echoes the drop of black medicine that the male protagonist drank. It also coincides with the sentence of David the robot: big things come from small things.)
Of course, taking all the logic together, there is also a very It's very possible that the director didn't think about it that much at all, and he didn't have any propositions! It's just that after more than 30 years of new technology, I want to make a movie with a similar style of Alien that made him famous. To make money, I simply chose the name Alien Prequel to guarantee the box office. That's all. As the theme of this film, why is there such a film? ? ? Why? Why?
Lao Lei replied: "Shit, I just wanted to make the film because the investor gave me money, and I did it." . .
