If Prometheus was meant to be a standalone movie, then Ridley Scott should have made it a fucking standalone movie. Everyone knew it was an Alien prequel from day one, and I don't think I - the viewer - should have to be responsible for creating imaginary parameters to make the movie more enjoyable.

It's a prequel, no matter how you slice it, and prequels should stay true to the source material. To make things worse, wiki quotes Damon Lindelof stating "if we’re fortunate enough to do a sequel... it will tangentialize even further away from the original Alien." Meaning it will diverge even further from the original canon.

Being the waffle I am, I'll probably see it anyway, because the other themes it deals with intrigue me. I think the inconsistencies between it and Alien are going to forever bug me though.
