I almost feel like I liked Prometheus because I went into it expecting a decent thrill ride and for it to have some small tie to the Alien series, whereas I think a lot of others went into it expecting Alien 0.
This. But that's Scott's fault. And the film's fault honestly.
It should have been a clear prequel or a clear separate film. Not both.

It may be his fault. But I disagree that it can't be both. Maybe not a direct prequel, but that's not what it was supposed to be...just in the same universe, which was a plenty good enough explanation for me.
Please don't take offense to this (and I doubt you will), but you strike me as someone who takes SUCH a critical stance on movies, and who views them with such a critical eye, that it almost seems like it's harder for you to just sit back and enjoy movies as pure entertainment than it is for me. And I know you can "turn off your brain and enjoy things" because we've talked about that before. But I guess maybe you go into a lot more movies than I do with a LOT higher expectations than I do. So while I'm sitting back loving this one and that one, you're uber critical of a lot of them. Just goes to show you how differently people can take in media and entertainment, and why we end up "agreeing to disagree" so often.

Add to that the multiple fingers that touched and changed this story, motivated by personal career ambitions, using the "big Ridley Scott picture" as a feather in their caps.
