Re: 'Prometheus' offers oozing sci-fi spectacle, early reviews say...
That one I can answer.
The black goop nonsense is essentially a face hugger of sorts. I mean, not literally. But it shares those properties. It's the "Stage 1" of the metamorphosis.
The "Stage 2" takes the properties of whatever the black goop gets in/around or whatever. So when the black goop in that chamber was all around those worms in the ground, "Stage 2" pops out looking like... a snake. But close enough, I guess.
Just like in the original movies, where the "Stage 2" of the transformation was the traditional xenomorph, it doesn't actually do any reproducing on its own. So the reason why Rafe Spall's chest didn't explode is because he wasn't killed by anything that could space-sexually-assault him.
The thing that eventually killed the engineer wasn't the same thing as the snake thing. It was the dumb squid thing that came out of Noomie Rapace. So, evidently, when you go from black goop inside someone to sex to forced and rapid impregnation (soooo dumb), it DOES have the ability to impregnate someone. Which is probably why it looks like a giant tentacled vagina.
The reason the thing at the end looks more like a traditional xenomorph is because it came out of something that is pretty close to human, only with added God powers or whatever.
So that snake/worm thing, and the thing at the very end, are for all intents and purposes the same thing. They only look different because they came out of different ZZZZZZzZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
