You mean the sexy lady named JOI?

Go onto pornhub and type "JOI"

It's "jackoff instructions"

So the lead character of Bladrunner is a pornhub limp dicked robot who needs a disembodied voice to tell him to cum. That's a "good movie" now.

I'm sorry that the film hurt your feelings.

There is something extremely weird with Prometheus where a lot of people watch it and don't say "this research team does some questionable things; they are not so professional it seems", but instead say "this research team does some questionable things; this is a huge loving plothole and they were written like this by mistake! Ridley Scott is senile!"

It is in fact a plot hole that humanity's most distant exploratory mission, a huge expensive spaceship, and the life of the guy paying for it all have been entrusted to the D-team, without anyone noticing or commenting on it.
It works with the hubris theme and the plot twist for sure, but it's not clear if it's deliberate or just the standard horror-film-characters-act-like-idiots-to-advance-the-plot cliché.

Prometheus is a prequel and the mission is a news-worthy big deal, not routine. The most advanced android in the world is aboard. They know it's a potential first contact.
Everyone else in the series knows they're expendable nobodies but this crew should be elite. The fact that they aren't isn't mentioned.

e: Weyland didn't care if the crew died but their idiocy inevitably endangered him, which he should have cared about.
