I look on the movie as profiteering through demystification and anthromorphization, and hate it for that reason (among others). Scott took something really artistic and cutting-edge and dumbed it down. JMHO.

Since it was Ridley's to begin with so he could do almost anything and say it fits, within the canon it would. I totally get why you, and a lot of others, didn't like Prometheus but I quite enjoyed that it wasn't just another Alien movie. I do agree that it's a disappointment the Engineers weren't more, well, alien. That doesn't stop me from thinking the chair suit looks really cool. Given the film's explanation of human origin it does make more sense for them to look fairly human.
