Ofall the movies in theAlienfranchise, 2012s prequelPrometheusmight have the most plot holes.
This madePrometheusa divisive effort, but the movies ambition is admirable.
The franchise never explains whyPrometheuss technology is better thanAliens machineryeven though the prequel takes place much earlier.
Still, this can be attributed to Peter Weylands wealth and hubris.
Similarly, althoughall of theAlienmoviesfeature body horror fates that defy explanation, some ofPrometheuss nastiest deaths are quite underdeveloped.
However, viewers can surmise a few potential answers based on the movies events.

This isnt the only explanation for the incident, but it offers a compelling motive alongside others.
Viewers can guess that Weyland himself may have chosen Charlie since he resented his relative youth and happiness.
InAlien: The Roleplaying Gameand other canonical tie-in materials, the black goo is known as “Prometheus Fire.
This extremely potent bioweapon was created by the Engineers to wipe out the entire populations of other planets.
As such, its deadly effects are less easily traced.
Charlie tells Meredith Vickers to burn him alive when she refuses to allow him back on board the Prometheus.
