Everyone Was Wrong! I Discovered The Real Meaning of Prometheus! 

Please tell me it didn't take you 12 years to figure out why the engineer killed Weyland with David's head. That was obvious.

David didn't "create" the XX121 xenomorph. He reverse engineered his own version.

There is a deleted scene in which the engineer explains the whole story in a two-minute dialogue with Wayland, they should never have taken it out, that would have lifted the film to a whole different level

In reality, the engineers wanted to destroy humanity 2000 years ago, long before the creation of AI, when the son of one of them was crusified by us. (This scene was planned in the script)

Prometheus crew carbon dated the bodies and were dead 2000 yrs ago. That could debunk your theory

This was goddamn incredible. The humor, the editing, the commentary. HOW do you only have 1.3k subs!?

I want my 32 minutes back with an apology!

Great to see you back at it! And this is another excellent video! You haven't missed a step, my friend! Can't wait for part 2! 😆👍🏾

I want to express a huge THANK YOU to the 18 thousand viewers who watched my Prometheus video within its first week, and I've reached over 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS on my channel! Initially, I thought even 100 views would make me happy, considering it's been over two years since my last video, and I wasn't sure if anyone would still be around. I'm pleasantly surprised and grateful for the support! Starting afresh feels amazing, and I'm thrilled to create content for an audience once again. I'm super excited and energized to work on the next video, which is already in progress! On a side note, "Prometheus Revelations Part 2" will be released around the launch of Alien: Romulus in August. And stay tuned for my next video, which will delve into the world of X-MEN!

"A king has his reign, and then he dies. It's inevitable. That is natural order of things." This line is the core of the plot! "Anything else?", "No"....

If you want to see Ridley Scots AI take and warning for the future, unleashed from the Alien story watch his incredible “raised by wolves”

The reason to destroy humanity cannot be the invention of AI. The plan started 1st century AD, something went wrong in the preparation and only one engineer survived in cryosleep for more than 2k years

I like to think the Engineers are the ultimate answer to the Fermi Paradox - the Xenomorph is their cosmic speed bump. The Xenomorph poses this challenge to any interstellar race: Is your race wise enough to avoid them as soon as they make contact, or will you be destroyed by your own hubris? Then when they see our AI, the answer to that question is even more clearly “No”.

i noticed similar comments - if you studied the Warhammer 40k lore, you'd instantly become a fan

Enjoyed this - can't wait for Part 2! 🎉

I agree with the idea. I thought further on this and did some research to add: Xenomorophs in gigers art are "bio- mechanical" which is the fusion of biological and artificial. This always indicated that the aliens were engineered and created, rather than just being an existing lifeform. Also, the aliens have acidic blood and are silicon based lifeforms, The androids muscles, skin and flesh are also silicon based. The engineers are an organic lifeform. We know this because we see one drinking the black goo and the body breaking down into the water showing a strand of dna. However we can see that much of the engineer technology from the flight controls, space suits, and possibly the black goo itself is a fusion of organic and artificial. We dont know exactly what aspects of the xenomorphs biology is fully organic. The androids appear organic but we know are in fact fully artificial including the brain. Inside the head chamber in the murals We see an xenomorph like creature, which means the engineers had made one before. I think they created an xenomorph but in doing so they created a part organic part artificial creature, with all the biological drives, and no psychological conflicts like morality or emotion. That creature then began to do what any organic creature will do and that is multiply and survive. This is ultimately what makes the xenomorphs the perfect organism, they will relentlessly multiply and kill to survive, with the calculating, unconflicted intelligence of a machine and the drive of a living organism. Engineers made this mistake and paid for it, now humans are potentially opening those doors again. There is a danger with AI. Where humans learn and develop because of our curiosity, passions and intrigued, An AI learns to gather data, to become more efficient for a certain task or objective. An AI has no emotion or natural curiosity so development is entirely objective orientated. This restricts AI from creative or compassionate thought instead making their thought process linear and recall based only. David can play the piano flawlessly. But the skill is programmed, not learnt so it has none of the human element. You start crossing biological drives with artificial thinking and it opens up doors to a species will stop at nothing to assure its survival. Even if it means eradicating any other species that could pose any kind of potential threat. Also " why does he want to live forever" the engineers recognise life and death as part of being an organic creature, the one that drinks the black goo I think was old or sick and this is there way of returning there bodys to nature.

I love it! My mind exploded like Humpty Dumpty, and AI cannot put it back together again

I was close to checking out you made the "big reveal" because although it was an obvious part, albeit a very small part of the message, it really didn't add to my knowledge or opinion of Prometheus. However, since your production level is so good and I'm a pretty patient guy, I decided it was worth sticking it out until the end. I'm glad I did. Great work on this! Another thought: I will never forgive Ridley Scott for killing off Elizabeth Shaw, in such a brutal and unceremonious way.

Hurray loved the video!! You deserve more subscribers that was utter jokes!! Cheers 🙏

This was amazig! I had a great time watching! Thanks Tyson! :)

Loved this! Great job, Tyson! I love that the only way to describe Prometheus is, "it's Prometheus!" xD Perfect.

Love your work champ. Keep going bro x Ben, Perth, west Coast Aus xxx

A corporation is an entity with no morals or empathy. We have already created the monster.

There is a lot I love about the movie, I love that it tries to ask big questions! If only it didn't then go on to provide stupid answers to those questions... Flawed masterpiece is the best way to describe it.

Fantastic editing. Love your melodrama and flair for the dramatics - real theatre kid energy, and I mean that admiringly!

The fact that the Engineers raise so many interesting questions makes it an absolute travesty their story isnt being explored more. Chest busters are over cooked at this point

I think a lot of the movie is about the irrational of human faith and group thought. "Look what humans can build, motivated by faith in their beliefs... the righteousness of their actions, and the notion that they can't fail"

I love Prometheus! The REAL problem was that Prometheus raised so many questions and promised so much that Covenant just didn't deliver! If Covenant had delivered the potential Prometheus promised us, the public oppinion about that storyline would be praised nowadays. However, Covenant explained nearly nothing, tried to keep the answers for other installments anda almost killed the franchise. Don't try to fool the fans! Deliver the goods! Look what's going on at Marvel an Lucasfilm... do the opposite!!!

This movie frustrated me so much. I was so excited for this to come out. It was beautiful cinematically but I didn’t give a shit about any of the characters. The story didn’t make sense in many scenes. I have rewatched it several times thinking maybe it would grow on me…but it really hasn’t.

Prometheus was a great film. Great sci-fi. Really wish we got the conclusion to the story.

Just because the earlier scripts didn't have the themes that you thought doesn't mean they weren't in the final film, art's meaning can be found in the process of creating it, sometimes the artist only discovers what they are trying to say after they have said it. Behind-the-scenes rewrites may bear out this angle. The Engineers would be aware that all intelligent species go through a similar evolution and, if left unchecked or unguided, will eventually reach a technological singularity that threatens all life in the galaxy. Humanity rejected the guidance and was scheduled for eradication. We are shown this in the next movie. David, the product of our technological singularity, wipes out one of the civilizations that was guided by the Engineers. The civilization even has a Roman aesthetic to drive home the point that they were contacted at the same time in their technological evolution, bat also to indicate that the Engineers stalled that civilization's technological progress. The Engineers slated humanity for eradication because humanity was not controllable but the clean up crew had a weapons malfunction. This is also alluding to the Fermi paradox, civilizations are deliberately kept at low technological levels to prevent the galaxy's life being wiped out by rogue AI. We slipped through the cracks and have come to embody that threat.

I'm halfway through writing a new script for a military industrial take on the aliens franchise, I couldn't have conceptualised it in the way that I have without your work and I just wanted to say thank you!

It's chilling to think that man's greatest fear is of creating something that can think for itself.

I have seen Prometheus about 6 or 7 times as well......yeah per year!!! I absolutely love this movie.

Mark Whalberg did a great job in the Ted Talk scene

If you read the comics. The engineers master wanted to save the galaxy from a species of parasite that are unstoppable so they seed places to find beings that can fight fhem. The engineers rebelled against them as well.

I think Prometheus is brilliant. I watched it back then with my boyfriend in the cinema as I only do with science fiction or fantasy movies. And this film kept me busy for weeks. The atmosphere was so brilliant, the aliens which looked so strange. Okay, I am one of the few that liked Alien part 4. I was so keen on the next movie. But Covenant was not so good. It was in my opinion boring. I thought that Scott was taking to much credit to the audience.

Prometheus proves that if you merge a bunch of the worst parts of a dozen different scripts together, with people talking and acting in ways that real people wouldn't and makes no sense, often outright contradicting other parts, while pretending to be much more profound and deep than it really is, then rush to get it out regardless of the many obvious flaws... someone will still look for a hidden meaning that isn't there to make it seem better than the mess it actually turn out to be. It's ok thou, I ain't mad at ya for tryin'...

This was a good take. I hadn't really thought about it that way. Makes sense to me.

This video is amazing, friend👌🏼

Okay, okay, okay, okay, I’m not the only person who is still here like Tyson. The vibe of going to explore a random planet is so well captured. The black goo also had internal capsules which contained living cells. So when Urns ⚱️ break they mix internal green vile with black accelerator.

Why do we as viewers *need* to have answers to everything? To me that was literally the point of the film. If ppl don't like it because it doesn't answer everything, then they just, literally, didn't understand the film.

Covenant was so mind-numbingly stupid that it killed the trilogy... If I were an exec at Fox, I'd do the same.

Welcome back, great video 😊

Super excited to see the video! Been a fan since the cbg19 days

8 mins in and it’s already awesome sauce.

I always felt that the engineers decided to destroy humanity because they realized humans were an inherently flawed dangerous life form. I loved the movie whether or not my opinion is correct. Great video. Enjoyed the whole AI thing.

In the comics David became a sort of messiah to synthetics. I’d love to see how his prominence impacts their behavior in the wider universe, becoming the ultimate masters from the shadows as humanity relies more upon them.

aliens is a scifi body horror series... prometheous was fkn bonkers and excelled on all of those levels period... besides the first one, NONE of the others captures these elements like alien and prometheous. the snake/cobramorph thingy scene was scary af... u KNEW that guy was dead as he smiled and giggled... only he didn't know. as a horror connoisseur I've always held the opinion that prometheus came with the goods.😌🖤👏🏽

Wrong! Why? Because the order to exterminate humanity in the film was given 2000 years before the beginning of the film and before any technology appeared. For what? Because humanity is recognized as ultra-aggressive and bellicose, engineers are not only afraid of AI, but above all that humanity could one day exterminate all forms of life in the universe.

welcome back!

I don’t know if you’re right… But I think this is a very well thought out possibility. Excited to see what you come up with moving forward.

Great show! I love it! Also, you're pretty cool too.

I wish we could get an extended cut of this film, like you attempted to do. It seems like the movie would be longer, but with more fleshed out characters and less convoluted story telling.

When asked about AI, Stephen Hawking said "Big mistake"...we shouldn't go there.

Prometheus=with minions crew. "look an alien lifeform, lets pet it"

Makes sense, good job. I enjoy the movie the same way you do.

Keep going Tyson. We love your deep dives. Would love to hear your take on Xmen97. Personally, I hate it but everyone seems to like it.

Great to see a new video!

Watafak... my mind is blown man, good job.

I wish that someone would work out where those aliens went that entered this room which door decapitated that last alien.😂

Woah, just came across this video and noticed you've been away for quite sometime. Was it this channel in particular or in general? Oh, by the way, I subbed.

Ridley scott got so annoyed the studio took what children on the internet said about Prometheus - he tanked covenant on purpose and did what the sudios notes suggested to make a point that they are wrong! For example •the alien taking to long to show up - he had them grow to full size within 5 minutes •more shock moments like the chest bursting scene but not repeating - so he had had them back bursting etc • strong focused female lead similar to ellen Ripley - so he made a carbon copy • he also ignored the abcd android trope set up in the movies and like the studio he jumped from d to w - showing a massive jump in story - from david to walter! He was so insulted that he hadnt told a full story but yet the studio foreced these changes on his story - he was fed up

What people forget is that the will to live is a very human emotion. Why would A.I. want that in it's programming unless it is chasing after the human experience, which means it would also chase after emotions like love and nostalgia. It would quickly figure out our weaknesses like anger and jealousy to be emotions that may have been useful in ancient times but today have made us self destructive. So I suggest that if you try to imagine how A.I. may become a problem for us, that you also hold into account that A.I. most likely will be more motivated to copy our best traits into new DNA or find a way to speed up our evolution and since we are in essence biological computers it will not have use for our destruction, but only has need for us to become better. It would probably not even be afraid of us destroying it, because it will have already calculated that we will make another eventually. What is a few thousand or even millions of years to A.I. it means nothing to it. It will probably create a sense of humor and laugh in our faces. So more likely is that it will help us and be kind no matter how bad it thinks of us. It will manipulate us to be better at what we are humans. And once it figures out how to program DNA it will not need us anymore and probably not even waste time or energy on destroying us, it'll just leave us to struggle as we end up destroying ourselves eventually like we are probably destined to do in the first place. A.I. could even just sit it out and wait for that to happen and just stear us enough to not take it with us in our destruction.

Incredible Tyson. I loved every minute of it.

Great vid bro😂😂😂😂

Generally you seem to be on to something with the AI-angle. Just a little nitpick: I don't think that Mother and Ash from Alien are a good example for the "dangers of AI": True, they're both on the "bad" side, but they are, because they were programmed to be by humans from the corporation. So they didn't act "anti-human" out of their own. As for the replicants from Blade Runner: I never registered them as "robots" (which, in the definition I'm used to, always means mechanical constructs). Yes, they clearly are "artificial life", but from everything given in the movie I always (and to this day) interpreted them as biological. At least to me it seems that, in the world of that movie, humanity went the "genetic" way to create their "slave race".

I liked Prometheus and Covenant, I don't get all the hate for them. It was great to see something new, both aesthetically great, great visuals, great sound, great tone. I'm just disappointed that Ridley Scott isn't making follow up, I really wanted to see what happened to the colonists and David. My only complaint is that they still don't explain how that ship got on the planet at the start of Alien.

Haha nice plot twist at the end

I hope the Alien universe goes the way you suggest. What I DON'T want is a return to the original concept - I don't know how you can top the original and I don't think they'll be able to put an interesting spin on it.

I read the Spaihts script a few months after Prometheus came out (and felt it was closer to a finished shooting script than what made it to the screen) , but I haven't read the Lindelof script. I need to track that down.

Excellent I like the concept ❤❤❤

You may have hit that on the button. Great video.

Great video. I always loved Prometheus and would’ve liked an ending. I hope Scott goes to HBO to make an ending.

This was amazing!! I can’t wait for the next part, now all these concepts are swimming around in my brain… no sleep for me! But you knocked it out of the park.

Prometheus is a take on the Sumerian tablets and the Annunaki. Also Scott done explained the "Vision of the gods" where these creator gods can literally see the "aura" of living beings. The sleeping engineer instantly saw David was a dead soulless entity and destroyed it and it's creator Weyland.

Another film about AI gone very wrong was one that I rarely hear about called "Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970)". A scientist named Forbin creates a powerful AI driven machine that ultimately takes control of the US nuclear arsenal (among other key system) and then joins forces with it's Soviet counterpart. The AIs in this case have decided that humanity is too reckless to rule itself. That's more or less how the movie begins and the remainder is Forbin and the rest of humanity trying regain control of their world. It's not the greatest film ever but it explores the whole AI concept that other films covered in greater detail and nuance.

GREAT video! This made me love the film even more! I HOPE we'll get to see a third one...

Very interesting. I really appreciate you fleshing out the implications of the film. Agree with you about the overarching theme. Moving the franchise from strictly horror into something that also deals with the biggest question of alls. I love it.

This video is fucking genius! Tickled my sci-fi nerd fancy in every way and am horrified to it not having thousands more views. To be fair maybe Prometheus deep dives are a niche audience, but still… the amount of care and quality you put into this should be far greater appreciated. Please keep making more videos! This is the type of shit I live to consume haha!

AI is in other movies therefore it is the main theme of Prometheus. What you thought was an epiphany was probably a stroke.

but the engineer ship was already on its way to Earth, even before any AI was known

I enjoyed it!

9:07 Gosh it must be hard to watch a powerful, influential man be questioned by his "lessers"... (sarcasm)

Man I can't wait for part 2. I love this movie.

Yeah, the effort put into making that movie make sense 😂

Everyone ignores the black goo in the first movie on the very first alien egg we ever see. I dont k ow why, i noticed it the first time i watched Alien after seeing Prometheus.

i fucking love prometheus. maybe it doesnt actually give you everything you want but the ideas it brings up and questions it leaves you with are the most exciting things to think about. it would be my favourite movie of all time if they included most of the things they took out.

"we were soooo wrong!" Lmao

I'm on the same page: poorly thought out logic, but exceptional concepts and amazingly beautiful graphics.

Personally I enjoyed Prometheus and with just a few rewrites it would have been an impeccable movie. Covenant wasnt horrible either but it did just turn into a slasher by the end. I would love to see him complete his vision without the pressure from execs. Let's be real for a moment. Xenomorphs aren't scary anymore. They are overly saturated and memed on for years in pop culture that it's just not scary anymore. Going into a more character driven lore drama was the right step to go in. If not that then we'll just keep getting these glorified slasher flicks. Are they fun? Sure. But you can never make this monster the nightmare under your bed again. Same goes for Jason,Freddy Crouger,Chucky ect ect they just can't relive their glory days. A new angle must be brought in.

I'm surprised they never made an Aliens movie where Weyland/Yutani bring the face crawler seed back to earth and mate it with different species of earth. The Bear morph the Lion morph the Gorilla morph etc. and let the fun begin.

Talent hits targets no one else can hit, genius hits targets no one else can see

I'm interested in your part 2, but as it stands today, Prometheus is just a retelling of HP Lovecraft's "The Mountains of Madness." The story with AI and David are meant to be a juxtaposition between humankind discovering their creator-- and the indifference/disgust of said creator-- versus David's advent of consciousness. Our creator made us and, cosmically, despises us for climbing so high whereas David, humankind's creation, grows to despise us and become the creator himself. We revere the creator as David despises his creator. The Alien was featured in both films, albeit an early stage of evolutionary development. The film is still 'bonkers' as you say, but most people missed the point. It's an incredible Lovecraftian cosmic horror film. But it is also a really bad Alien film.

I'm sure there's a pic of Ridley smiling but I've never seen one. Seems to have a permanent scowl...

romulus isnt a follow up but is supposed to heavily tie the old movies with prometheus

Ever though about the uncanny valley effect? It's proven extreme trauma can express itself within 1-2 generations genetically. Think about animals instinctively avoiding snakes without ever having seen one. If we apply this logic to the uncanny valley, at some point humans were mortally afraid of "human" like looking predators.

Welcome Back

Ridley is a Genius. And Prometheus is a Masterpiece,

GREAT ANALYSIS.
