The Engineers keep me coming back to this franchise. They are one of the most interesting fictional characters out there, but we know so little about them. Exploring their origin, their home world, their creations and plans, etc would be immensely exciting. They leave so much room for creative imaginations, and the potential to take this franchise to the next level. As cool as the xenomorphs are, it gets redundant at some point. Imo they are secondary characters. They aren't enough to move the plot and keep the franchise going. We need a return to Prometheus and to the Engineer's world.

Honestly I don't think film makers put as much thought into these things as we do as evidenced by so many blunders and errors and inconsistencies in story lines, actual scenes and canon. I think often time they make this shit up as they go (Luke and Leia being siblings. After a french kiss too? Cmon Lucas, sure that was ALWAYS your plan, and if it was, you have issues). I think we give them too much credit and in the case of Ridley, he purposefully leaves it up to interpretation, as often he doesn't know either (how many times has he gone back and forth if Deckart is a replicant or not?). Anyway, enjoy the movies for what they are but I wouldn't waste too much time trying to parse eye colors and heights and robes to come to a definitive conclusion.

I think the beings on the planet are a red herring - you could easily mistake them for engineers but to those who look closer you can tell that they aren't. I also think David's Xenomorph is another red herring - it looks and acts like the one we know but it's a recreation. It would be really interesting to know if David thinks the beings he killed were the real engineers and if he thinks that his Xeno is the original. The twist in the third film could be that David is mistaken about both and that would give the trilogy a really nice subtext related to David and AI: it looks and acts real, seems like an original but is actually neither.

I always imagined that the people on the planet are the original and natural Engineers and the guys on the ships are soldiers, priests and scientists, modified to be better suited for harshness of space(travel). Them being on travel for extened amounts of time. Surveying, terraforming and colonizing perhaps. So I figured one of these ships returning home is always a big deal to this civilization and reason for celebration, hence why they gathered and seemed very excited. But that's just me.

I think David found the creation that the Engineers were most proud of, and destroyed them out of spite.
