One part of Prometheus really doesn't work.
While Prometheus isn't as bad as some of its detractors claim, there is one part of Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel that I still resent. Although the entire Alien series is pretty convoluted, 2012’s Prometheus was one of the first movies in the franchise to flagrantly over-complicate things.
This change was ameliorated over a decade later when Alien: Romulus’ ending tied the franchise together, neatly fusing the additional lore of Scott’s prequel to the original franchise timeline. Viewers will likely learn more about the Weyland-Yutani Corporation’s early years in FX’s forthcoming Alien TV show Alien: Earth, but Alien: Romulus already managed to streamline some of the many retcons found in Prometheus and the prequel’s 2017 sequel, Alien: Covenant.
The Black Goo Has Never Been Properly Explained By The Alien Movies Prometheus And Alien: Covenant Left The Goo A Mystery Thanks to David’s creepy Prometheus poisoning plot, viewers learn that the goo is as lethal to humans as it is to Engineers. The "Black goo,” as players of Alien: The Roleplaying Game can attest, is a potent bioweapon developed by the Engineers. Also known as “Prometheus Fire,” the goo is used by the advanced alien race to wipe out entire planets.
There Was An Easier Way To Create A Xenomorph Origin Story Prometheus Could Have Explained The Xenomorph’s Discovery Close What makes Prometheus’ Xenomorph backstory so frustrating is the fact that Alien’s prequel didn’t need to explain where the Xenomorph came from. Scott’s prequel leaves a lot unexplained, from the nature of the black goo to the origins of the Engineers themselves.
