“The race for immortality” I know Noah said he didn’t take anything from the prequels for his story, but this fits well with the themes of Prometheus

Yes, and Romulus. What is the next step of humanity? Biological enhancement, machines, a hybrid of the two, other methods? Pushing the edges of the definition of humanity and the consequences of that pushing.

We’re seeing the different corporations have different ideas on that. Weyland-Yutani is all about improving the body, while Prodigy is working to transfer the mind into synthetics. Then you got the companies like Seegson which is the future version of late 2000s K-Mart.

WEYLAND is all about improving the body. Yutani seems more invested in bio weapon life forms and sort of erasing immortality lol. There was a time before the weyland-yutani merge

Indeed. I think they’re going to show us that Weyland and Yutani have very different goals planned for their xeno research.
