Again - this was just another part of my blog. Thought I would add it here and people could contribute their own unique ideas about how it will end.
The Elders' Elder: Our Creators/Gods worship something even higher than themselves. The kicker is these things were originally created by the Elders as servants but they eventually surpassed them and became more sophisticated in a large sense.
Gigerian Lifecycle: We were created as a stepping stone in an alien life cycle, so that that final form may be used for whatever purpose it fulfills. That is, humans were seeded on Earth long ago to give life to the next stage of an alien life. Kicker – engineers themselves were once used, so they created an alternative being in their image - humans. That was our only purpose.
Spaiht's Harvest: Alien's mind control us to harvest us as a resource – possibly a weapons resource. Kicker – our arrival lets them know we are ripe for the harvest.
Complex God: Peter Weyland seeks to gain the power of God. Kicker – he becomes drunk with power and turns against the crew and the engineers that helped him, thus making him the primary villain in the story – rather than the Engineers.
Sentinel Jockey: The outpost is merely a warning station, that either goes off on accident, or is in fact set off by the humans. Kicker – was never meant to target human life, only other alien treats, but by accident their self-defense mechanism goes after Earth.
Ubermensch Jockey: The Engineers themselves are a stage in the development of an original race of superbeings who need to recreate themselves through sacrificial rebirth. The head in the main room represents that Super Engineer – the purest form of their race. Regular engineers produce the materials necessary in these ampoules. Kicker - the procedure is sabotaged and instead of creating the necessary life forms to allow for the next stage of developing their final form, horrific creatures are born instead, vicious killing machines.
Alien Reboot: An iteration of Alien, whereby people stumble upon alien ruins to find out an alien race has been killed off by an accident related to weapons they were making. One of these aliens infects one of the crew leading to the birth of a ferocious alien being that threatens the life of the crew. There may be more than one infection/alien, and the original alien race may not all be dead, but the plot is generally the same. Kicker – Shaw is the last one standing after a narrow escape on ship's life boat.
Like Literally Prometheus: Human's steal shit and try to take it back, pisses the Engineers off and they go out to kill all earthlings. Kicker – movie marketing for the win.
Contagion in Space: It is wartime between the engineers and another powerful extraterrestrial force. The outpost is a lab where the virus/contagion is bred as a biological weapon. It escapes surveillance and there is an outbreak – then humans come in. The engineers were brewing this virus when it infected one of the engineers and spread. Kicker – it infects the last jockey who, being transformed into a vehicle for the virus, is brainwashed into trying to travel to Earth so that the virus can reproduce itself to greater lengths (kind of like the zombie ant that keeps walking up the stalk of a leak).
Cthulu?: The engineers are linked to a dark and incomprehensible power, and a fraction of that power latches itself onto the humans visiting and whips its dark and potently dark tentacle at humanity – threatening its destruction. Not much about this power is known at all – other than it works in ways beyond understanding and may destroy the Earth as a result of its natural mode of existence. Like a monkey visiting a military camp to find out more about itself because it believes humans are God and their creators. The monkey leads his camp to the firing range and a few go down inadvertently, but without much of an idea how or why. In the end the primate survivors venture onto a aircraft test range and are blown to bits, without the slightest human motive or acknowledgement of these monkeys.
Anti-Prometheus: One of the original titles for the movie was 'Paradise.' The idea here is irony. Human travelers traversing a vast tract of space with expectations of meeting omnipotent and benevolent Gods wishing to welcome and enlighten their guests come to find a deserted and hellish planet and super beings with no regard or interest for their hopes or motives. Thus 'Paradise' becomes, in the reality of the movie, hell, sorrow and despair. This exact play on words may be played on Prometheus too – and so instead of a Titan coming to steal fire from the Gods, the Gods come to the humans to extinguish their flame.
Hop On: Only Shaw is left alive in the wake of devastation caused by the Engineer, their biomech technology, and human mischief. With the Engineer dead and the rest of the crew – Shaw is hopeless against a multitude of neo-Aliens. In the end, an Engineering ship like that seen on Earth in the beginning comes around and recovers Shaw. Kicker – the aliens inside the ship look different than the Engineers in the movie. They are possibly bigger and seemingly more sophisticated. In any case – there is a link between these aliens, the engineers, the human life created on Earth and what the Engineers on LV-223 were doing in the first place through something Shaw sees on the ship/planet.
Lord Freezer: An Engineer Civil War results in their near extinction (the Derelicht on LV-426 being an artifact of this). The survivors decide to sacrifice one of their own to create humans as a means to ensure their future survival, whether they themselves should be eradicated or not. Clues are left behind for this creations as to how they may reestablish contact with their creators / parents.
Aceburster: The Engineers on LV-223 have a great variety of technology - much of which is far beyond the capacity of human imagination to invent - but not so sophisticated that an Android would not be able to understand. Growing somewhat bitter by the limitations of his creators and his own emotional deficits, David decides to surpass his creators by creating a new one to replace them. That would be his dream if he did dream. Thus, with the discovery of new technology - he is now empowered to create that form - a form that may be partly a form the Engineers were creating, and a part which David feels is necessary. Kicker - in the end it is David, not the Jockeys who is able to manufacture the alien egg and facehugger / tentacle xeno monster.
