8 Things Prometheus 2 Must Do To Avoid Being Terrible

3. Keep Elizabeth Shaw And David's Head Together

If there's anything to be commended about the closing scenes of Prometheus it's that one of the most unexpected and entertaining odd couples was created in bedraggled heroine Shaw and the head of sociopathic android David deciding to team up together in order to get to the bottom of the universal mystery they'd gotten themselves mired in. Put quite simply, it's such a weird, quirky concept that it ended up being one of the most genuinely interesting aspects of the film for some and Ridley Scott should utilise that to keep things from getting stilted in Prometheus 2. The first film's conflicts came from pitting David's ruthless pragmatism and curiosity against Shaw's morality and idealism, and the idea of having the pair relying on each other to both get what they want is certainly a tantalising dramatic prospect, so fingers crossed that the director runs with that concept and creates a cinematic odd couple for the ages.
