It's interesting to compare the Prometheus take on the Engineers with Nazi Aryan mythology exemplified by Kossinna.
Yes, and one of the things that's interesting is that if these Aryans were supposed to be such "supermen," then why were they always depicted as having such little dicks?
I mean, if you can't even have a big dick in YOUR OWN mythology... well, let's just say that there might have been some overcompensating going on in other pursuits.

Oh, and of course they have shelved Neill Blomkamp's Alien movie, the one with reasonable odds of actually being good (a sequel to Aliens with Ripley, Newt and Hicks, with Alien3 and Resurrection never happening).

I might like a sequel to Alien (singular) with none of the subsequent movies ever happening. The popular 2-hour advertisement for the Marines, Aliens was the disaster already. Alien 3 was a bold attempt to erase it. Everything else has been shite. Prometheus is like a white supremacist fantasy, with the beginning of the giant white man alien seeding life on earth. Gross!
