Whats interesting about this is that, We will see a lot more of Michael Fassbender, As there will be multiple versions of David.

"Prometheus” served as an ‘unofficial’ prequel to Scott's seminal 1979 sci-fi movie “Alien,” and the sequel that Green will write aims to be much more “alien-y” and in line with the terrifying tone of past films in the franchise. Additionally, the sequel is expected to feature multiple ‘David’ androids, which means there will be more than one Michael Fassbender on screen at the same time, according to an individual familiar with the project.

The subtitle better be "David can't stop touching stuff".

"Prometheus 2: A Crappy Sequel to a Crappy Prequel."

I never really cared for the idea of the other movie, simply because it ended up undermining the Alien's extraterrestrial origins and linking them too closely to man's. Before this first 'Prometheus,' the Alien was simply some extremely dangerous alien life-form, something that you'd find out in the boonies and so deadly that any alien spacecraft known to have them was considered an infestation risk (judging by the alien ship's warning call.)

Now this movie wants to strip away more of the mystery? No thanks, I'd like my Aliens to stay alien.

Yeah, Prometheus shouldn't have been made, in-canon at least. It's a funny bad movie, filled with stupid clichés but it ruins all kind of mystique over the space hockey's origin. And ruins it's design by making it into a suit, and the Engineers looks dreadfully generic and silly.

I loved it (seriously)

Well, the article did say that it was an 'unofficial' prequel (whatever that means) so hopefully it's just shorthand for 'This movie is not canon, but we sort of acted as if it was."

If it wasn't for the attempt to link it to anything Aliens, it wouldn't be too bad of a movie. All it might end up as without this distinction is looking like one of those generic made-for-tv sci-fi specials. However, it tries to undermine what makes the Aliens so terrifying, mainly their being true aliens and not some bastard cousin of humans. Plus it shoves in that humans are made by some alien race, for what? To make humans appear more extra special then they really are, which has been done to death umpteenth times already and in much better ways. Especially when the 'aliens' in question look too much like pale Blue Man Group rejects, and who seem to be expressly able to create threats to their own race strong enough to launch them into extinction (humans and 'Aliens.')

Even as I hate 'Aliens vs. Predator' I still hold them to a higher canon then I do Prometheus simply because they keep the Aliens as aliens and don't play about with how deadly the Aliens can be. Even the Predators know to be wary around the things at times. Trying to 'explain' their origins just ends up being a disservice the the franchise, and not something that benefits it. It risks ruining it, actually.

I`ve seen Prometheus and thought it was a good movie until the last sequence,
where the Alien pops out of this Alien-creature.
I was thinking: "What the shell?"
It could have been so much better without this.

Prometheus would've been better if they didn't try to shoehorn the Alien mythology into it.

Personally, I liked it even though there were some obvious story issues. A lot of that has to do with how beautifully shot it was.

I really enjoyed Prometheus (even the uber gross c-section scene which made my popcorn start climbing back up my esophagus) and am looking forward to the sequel. Although, it being written by the same guy who wrote for the Green Lantern film is a bit disconcerting...
