Well, so that happened.
I think![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kuwdora, with whom I laughed my way through this trope-fest under the glares of fanboys, said it best when she said, "So Ridley Scott totally just made a Lord King Bad Movie!" Yes, yes he did.
I read a really great, snarky, fairly non-spoilery review before I saw the movie, and one of the things it said was that Michael Fassbender, playing the android David 8 in the single best element of the film, frequently seems to be in a completely different movie, and that it would be nice if the other characters could join him there. ( Big things have small beginnings. )
Tl,dr; Ridley Scott clearly does not know mythology as well as he thinks he does (nor does Weyland, for that matter), because it should have been called Epimetheus.
As a bonus, have mine and kuwdora's fairly non-spoilery Twitter reactions (@s without links are my replies to her):
( Am I being an evil feminist? Evil, maybe, but not wrong )
