If it is further deduced, the aliens produced on the LV-223 base in the early days were not qualified varieties, so accidents occurred. The engineer found that only by breeding the aliens in humans on the earth can a successful species be cultivated, which also shows that One: Why did the aliens in the base where the corpse of the engineer broke through the chest disappeared (because it was a failed species and did not survive in the end); two, why did they come back to Earth in the Predator True Story and deposited the alien spores in the bodies of Earth people Fierce aliens are bred to be hunted (because the Predator also discovered that humans are the best parasites for alien development).
At the same time, we can also speculate slightly why the engineer race is eager to bring alien germs to the earth to destroy human beings: in fact, their primary purpose is not to destroy human beings, and even the purpose of creating human beings by sacrificing an engineer is to create a suitable Because of the storage of the alien growth, the engineer will drive the spaceship to bring the germs to the earth even if there is only one person left, because in this way, the earth has become a super petri dish for the alien germs, which can cultivate the most excellent and pure alien race.
In fact, putting together all the current films about aliens (including the Predator vs. Alien series, the Alien series, and the Prometheus series that is about to become a new faction) is an alien in the universe, especially on Earth. evolutionary history. We can actually see that from ancient times, there have been various types of alien evolution, which are mainly divided into two categories: hunting breeds cultivated by the Predators, and those that originated from the LV-426 planetary base and later spread to interstellar cargo ships. The xenomorphs that Noscha finally mutated in the rippley body. In this film, it is the second alien species that finally emerges from the corpse of the engineer family, and it is also an alien that has been continuously evolved and upgraded in the alien series.
Then discuss the purpose for which the alien was created and what it symbolizes. In the Alien series, the main discussion seems to be the good and evil of human nature, maternal attachment and so on. In this play, Prometheus is given a larger theme by Ridley Scott: the origin of man, the purpose of creating life, creation and destruction, and the helpless relationship between creation and creation . From a human point of view, this series of religiously timeless themes is enough to be pursued throughout human history. However, for the race that created them (for the time being, according to the current plot development, it is the engineer giant race), the creation of humans is actually only one of the means to create a more advanced and ferocious species (alien?). In fact, the previous alien series movies and this drama have repeatedly suggested that the ferocious and terrifying alien monsters in our eyes are actually the species that the interstellar race that created us ultimately wants to create, and the humans who claim to be highly civilized are just for them. Tools created temporarily. At the end of the play, the director used the heroine's mouth to say the theme of this series of plays in the future: Why did the creator create us and then destroy us? (There may be an even more ultimate question: Who created our species? And for what purpose were they created?) But the potential answer has always been in the show, but as a human being can't believe it : We are just a breeding tool created for the birth of a higher species.
This final theme can also be seen in another episode of the show. That's what Prometheus was launched for. Wieland's founders saw the same planetary coordinates in archaeological facts everywhere, and believed Elizabeth Shaw and her boyfriend's hypothesis that alien races created humans and guided them back to their home planet. Out of the individual's belief in the pursuit of immortality (the old man's desire symbolizes the belief that humans want to break through themselves), and the heroine's ultimate exploration of the sense of human destiny (archaeological discoveries further inspired her to explore the ultimate destiny of human beings) , and of course David the robot's obsession with the creator (for him, first human, then engineer), this series of typical human beliefs combined, finally brought the Prometheus to the place where the alien legend was born. The source, the LV-226 planet. The beginning of this story reminds me of another cosmic epic movie that explores the origins of humans and the creation of life, yes, Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey. The same space travel plan was tampered with and out of control, and was also dominated and guided by the upper-level creator-like race (highly abstracted into a black stone tablet in the movie), the fate of the surviving astronaut actually revealed the same as this film. Humanity's ultimate destiny: Humans are nothing more than a tool created by a higher species to achieve its purpose. The creator-like alien race in "2001 Odyssey" created a new species through the hands of humans, and further created a new earth and even a new life environment in the sequel; while the giants at the beginning of the film sacrificed themselves to create Humans, their ultimate goal turned out to be the alien born at the end of the film.
In the film, another memorable plot is that when David tried to talk to the giant warriors in an alien language, the giant warriors first looked tenderly and stroked David's face with his hands, like a loving father, but immediately revealed his fierceness. , tore off David's head and went on a killing spree, killing all the humans present. This episode actually answers Shaw's question: why did the aliens who created us try to destroy us later. Here, except that the human beings I just made were just created as a tool for cultivating heterosexual breeds, it is clear that the development of human beings and some of their revealed characteristics began to make the created race start to be disturbed: Going back to the series of archaeological discoveries at the beginning of the film, we can see that after the creation of human beings, the giants have not stopped observing the evolution of human beings and the process of civilization. Perhaps the development of a series of ancient civilizations and their doubts about the source and even their worship of the Creator attracted their attention: the human beings who were originally used by them as a host for cultivating alien germs have slowly begun to explore and desire life, and This is the driving force to develop a primary civilization, and the momentum of this civilization has begun to form a threat to the status of the creator of the giants. Therefore, they established bases on the LV-226 planet and other planets, and accelerated the cultivation of alien species to destroy Humans, let them fall back to the tools that started out as petri dishes. It's just that maybe an accident caused their work to be delayed by 2000 years, and when the last surviving giant warrior woke up, he saw that the humans on the opposite side, who had been low-level tools, had come to them and had begun to use their race. When language tries to communicate, the feeling of shock and fear can be imagined. Of course, the instinct is to desperately bring the alien germ as a weapon to the earth to destroy human beings and their civilization that is enough to threaten the survival of the giants.
Then, who created the engineers giants and predators who created humans and aliens, and what was the purpose of creation? First of all, the films of the Predator series are more entertaining, so here the value and purpose of life creation is simply condensed into an improved species for hunting, so that the pure star hunter race itself is like a functional fully functional tool. What I am more concerned about is the engineer giant clan, and maybe in the future sequels, the history and origins of this race should be told more. And how they found and exploited the aliens. After all, according to the film, our DNA comes directly from this race. These pale and tall races are more in line with the imagination of the noble Protoss who created life in the minds of human beings, compared to the Jagged Warriors who only slaughtered the martial arts.
