It made no sense.Plus, the context is ruined when you learn he was just dying, not trying to do anything good.

I may be ignorant to any backstory to it (though thankfully it’s not based on a comic where I’d never have any clue of anything), but if I recall the opening scene featured one of the Engineers dying on Earth, appearing to be dispersing his DNA across the planet and presumably giving rise to humans.

Disregarding my opinion of the rest of the film, the opening seemed to explain (and contextualize, for me at least) the use of the name “Prometheus” throughout.
