the theory was that the benevolent engineers were the source of all life and that they would be pleasantly surprised that one of their creations were so successful that they had been able to deduce their origins and even come to visit their creator. the old dude thought of himself as the peak of humanity, he was hoping for recognition and a way to circumvent death.
in the leaked script, the engineers shave tons of their own (long) lifespan to get up, talk, and answer questions, yet he was still willing to speak to them despite this, initially. Jesus was an engineer and humans killed him. The engineer was upset at the old man for ordering his goons to beat up and silence the woman. The jesus thing was why earth was originally marked for destruction, but the ship never made it there. None of that got put into the film though.
They assumed that any Engineer assigned to that installation must have had at least an idea about humans and Earth, and that as the last survivor he would have authority to make a judgement call about what to do with Weyland's request. And they were right.
>humans, when you're ready, come to this place >there you'll find abandoned ships and DNA experiments gone wrong
The alien "security footage" that shows other aliens of the same race killing them like with hit-squads kinda explains what happened but people don't get it?
They weren't suppose to be doing that; Their plan, whatever it was, was cut short because everyone was killed. You say "why did the aliens leave directions to their planet?" But that supposes that they set out to be killed and have their research and facilities left derelict on an abandoned planet.
Hell, the sequel makes it more clear that the "Engineers" on their home planet are some sort of secularist luddites. Probably doesn't require a lot of thinking to get from "DO NOT SO SCIENCE IN THIS WAY" to "DO NO DO SCIENCE AT ALL" with a time-skip of a few thousand or million years.
If we assume that the opening scene of Prometheus is set on a pre-life Earth, it would have to be a few-billion-year endeavor, whatever it was, and it was cut short by alien hit-quads. Which is kinda funny on its own.
It doesn't matter what it was. People are like "WHY DIDN'T THEY HAVE PLANETARY DEFENSES???" But if they're weird luddites that do not know of other life in the universe, what is the point of defenses? From what? It's all laid so bare and people still ask "why did X,Y, or Z happen?" over and over about it.
And i wouldn't even call either good movies it's just so nakedly open it's weird that people are still going on about it some 20 years later.
i would have already brought technology to capture the engineer and get him back to earth alive. since it quickly becomes apparent that they were planning our destruction, i would leave the payload on that planet and use the ship to get back to earth while im still alive, bringing back the tech and the engineer. there is a chance that the shit has a library of all their knowledge, so there is that.
imagine you jerk off into a pond and 9 months later a radioactive non-verbal autistic mutt crawls up to you and says you owe child support. ya i'd rip his head off too
these threads are funny because of the autism required to even care about this shit. its just some cool looking scifi shit, the writers didn't put 10% of the effort you guys do into understanding their own world. they just thought "hmm this would be cool"

why did they assume that particular prometheus was the one that invited them in the first place?

i think thats true. why was he mad tho

That's so fricking moronic. Surely, that wasn't in the original script. Actually, no, it's possible since they went full moron with panspermia.

watch me twerk
watch me nae nae
Why did he do it?

Quite the prankster, that guy
presumably it was a nice neighborhood 12,000 years ago

Mostly correct, but the planet in Covenant wasn't their home world. It was a colony they used as a glorified truck stop.
Wrong, it was their homeworld. Ridley Scott confirmed it. Stop coping moron.

it did? i don't recall it ever showing what they were running from
i would have already brought technology to capture the engineer and get him back to earth alive. since it quickly becomes apparent that they were planning our destruction, i would leave the payload on that planet and use the ship to get back to earth while im still alive, bringing back the tech and the engineer. there is a chance that the shit has a library of all their knowledge, so there is that.
what do you mean 'brought technology?' you would have predicted what he was and how to stop him and that he'd be evil before you left?
you can't use their ship, it just had an autopilot
>you can't use their ship, it just had an autopilot
that's what David was there for
imagine you jerk off into a pond and 9 months later a radioactive non-verbal autistic mutt crawls up to you and says you owe child support. ya i'd rip his head off too
I wouldn't have said anything, I would have listened. And that's what nobody did.
tell the robot I wont be saving anyone from death until I've had my cups of coffee
David literally said "Rip my head off and kill these people," in the alien language.
I'd rip the android's head off.

>luddites
i think most of this stuff shouldn't take people effort to get, but people still don't get it.
What a moronic series of 'prequels.' I hope the new show retcons this shit back to hell where it belongs
Youll get the nostalgic rehash goyslop youre asking for
