This document summarizes many questions raised by the film Prometheus. It asks about character motivations that did not make sense, plot holes, inconsistencies in technology, and other logical issues. Examples given include why the scientists did not follow protocol, how cave paintings could be a map, and why the engineers would want to kill humanity. The summary criticizes many creative choices and suggests the film creates more questions than answers.

1. Some Questions We Have to Ask
Ourselves After Watching
Prometheus

2. Why is this guy committing
suicide?

3. Why did the make-up on him
look so bad?
His arms are weird. Ok whatever, he’s an alien… aliens are
weird… Let’s see what else this movie has to offer.

4. Why did they chose to put this scene
first, thereby ruining any surprise we
might have had about what the
scientists are going to find during
the expedition?

5. Why would anyone get in a pod for
two years with people they didn’t
know if they didn’t know why they
were doing it until they got there?

6. Why do Noomi and her dumb
boyfriend have to convince
everyone the mission is worth
taking?
I’m sure they could have found more people that really
wanted to go and would probably have to make them
sign a contract beforehand detailing why they would
be getting in a space pod for two years.

7. If David can apparently pilot the
ship, and do everything else
too, why didn’t they just send more
androids out on an exploratory
mission first rather than real people
with lives at stake?
Especially when many of them were
not too excited about it.

8. How does obscure cave paintings
equal a map?
How were they able to fund this trip, find
the location in the universe (which isn’t such
a small place) and all go on it within a few
years?

9. If you’re “just a geologist” that likes
“rocks”, then why was this character
the one that wanted to bring the
gun?
This character motivation didn’t
make sense.

10. Yes, Noomi, we know that it’s a
science expedition but why didn’t
you let him bring the gun since none
of you knew what was out there?
This character motivation also didn’t
make sense.

11. Why are these scientists so bad at
following scientific protocol?

12. Why would anyone pet something
that was hissing at them?
Especially if that same character, a few
minutes ago, really did not want to be there
or explore anything. For a scientist, this
character is really, really stupid.

13. How is the technology more
advanced in this supposed prequel?

14. Has Ridley Scott watched his own
films?

15. How did those two guys even get
lost? They had a big map. Couldn’t
the captain tell them where they
were?

16. Why was the technology
disconnect so bad?

17. Why did these super advanced alien
warlords need a space flute to
activate their high-tech equipment?

18. Why did they hire this actor?
He sucked.

19. Why did David want to put the black
stuff in that guy’s drink?
Was he just a dick?
Was he mad ‘cuz everyone was making him feel
worthless?
Was he thinking what everyone else was thinking and
trying to hurry up the process of killing off the most
annoying character?

20. Why did Weyland build such a
dick robot?

21. Will David get his own reality TV
show now that he’s just a
decapitated android head?

22. Why did the black stuff have such
different effects on everybody?
Space weapons be crazy, y’all.

23. If David was supposedly
programmed to protect Weyland,
why would he try to sabotage the
mission?

24. Why did the zombie character come
back to kill everyone?

25. Why does Charlize Theron have such
crazy daddy issues?

26. As Mission Director, how did
Charlize Theron not know that the
med pod in her cabin was for men
only?
Why did she not question it?
Or get confused when Noomi question
the heart bypass thing?

27. Was her doing push-ups in her space
undies the only way to show what a
strong, tough, sexy woman she is?

28. Why does the captain pack his
accordion on this space mission?

29. Why does getting a C-section seem
to hurt so much less and heal up so
fast in space future?
Easy Peasy!

30. Why couldn’t they get a real old
guy to play the old guy?

31. What exactly were the hologram 3D
forms running from?
Even at the end, do we care?

32. If Weyland funded this whole
expensive trip and figured he’d find
something, why didn’t he bring
more people with different skills?
In the event that they found a
civilized society, they’d need more
than just a few scientists.

33. Why were the three characters so
easily convinced that they should
take the ship on a suicide mission
when they were the least committed
characters in this whole film?

34. Was it just a coincidence that the
two minority, and most
underdeveloped characters, were
the ones they chose to kill in the
suicide mission?
Why does Hollywood still think we
can’t see through this?

35. I thought he said there were more
ships anyway– does it even matter?

36. Why was the engineer so ill-
mannered? It’s super rude to rip
someone’s head off when they wake
you up and ask you deep
philosophical questions.
Why was that their lead in question
anyway?

37. Why was the engineer even
hibernating on a ship that was
parked? Wouldn’t that only be
something you would do if you were
travelling through space for a long
time?

38. Why did the engineer’s ship have
giant statues of their heads in it?
That’s super narcissistic, and also
kind of needless decoration for a war
ship.

39. Why does the engineer come back
to kill Noomi? Doesn’t he have more
important things to do like kill the
rest of humanity?
She didn’t even have a ship out
there, she’d prolly die on her
own, you know.

40. Why do they want to kill all the
earthlings?
What’s taking them so long? We’ve
been going strong for a couple
thousand years now.

41. Why doesn’t Noomi take a second to
re-group after her long day of
birthing alien babies, killing
engineers and losing all hope for the
humanity, before they fly on to
another planet?

42. Maybe I’m not human, but if the
engineers had just killed everyone I
loved and attempted to kill me, why
would anyone then show up on their
doorstep?

43. Why did Ridley Scott want to ruin his
own franchise with that ending?
Is this whole idea of going back and
killing your creations just a metaphor
for Ridley Scott’s career?

44. Pegina Snake.

45. BUT OTHERWISE:
• Michael Fassbender
• OoO-Pretty!
• Don’t ask questions.
