In Prometheus at the start.... right until the very end.
"Hey, alien planet we've never been on before. Let's take our helmets off."
"Hey our map guy got LOST inside an underground tunnel and tried to pet an alien snake and now he's infected."
"This medical machine is configured for men. Caesarian mode is on the left."
I call the movie Fuckwits In Space for these and many more reasons.
Expecting humans in a sci-fi monster movie not to be cocky before their sudden yet inevitable demise is kind of cheating.
I don't understand the last point.
PS I really really like Prometheus, so I'm biased
I liked it's world-building and greater lore implications for the Aliens universe, but I can still admit it has flaws and pacing issues
I will never stop calling any scene where an object is moving towards people and they run directly away from it while it's gaining on them as "the Prometheus school of running away." This was only slightly less stupid than trying to outrun a train...on the tracks.
