In fact when I saw Prometheus twice in theaters I was surprised how closely it veered to Shin Seiki Evangelion's view of an uncaring cosmos and mankind's origins and place there.<br /><br />I guess that's what you get when both works call back to so much of what came before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143495084727195492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279306243558348368.post-44905523864545416042012-09-20T16:46:24.159-07:002012-09-20T16:46:24.159-07:00I could fill this goddamn site top to bottom with ...I could fill this goddamn site top to bottom with just Prometheus.
