RE: You're gonna argue about the genre now? It's sci fi. More specifically, it's the prequel of Alien

"Nothing in the film suggests or implies this."

That's the beauty of Prometheus, almost nothing is explained, it is simply presented. This is the whole point and whybtherecarevso many divergent opinions on what happened.

"No, that is not what hurt. What hurt was his existence as a lesser being, and specifically a being not capable of having human feelings, biochemistry or to quote from the film "soul"."

But, of course Davud did have human feelings, that was kind of the while point. He felt hurt by his father's rejection of him as well as the crew's dismissive attitude and treatment. Hw had no qualms about spiking Holloway's drink and possibly killing him because Holloway was perhaps the most dismissive.

"There were far greater differences between the films and their characters than those you mention, and it would help you immensely to discuss Prometheus on its own terms instead of reading things into it based on unrelated movies."

I'm afraid Ridley Scott's theme of robots is intentionally similar in Blade Runner and Prometheus, thus it makes sense to draw the parallels. One idea being the difficulty in distinguishing a replicant or robot from a real human. Take the Harrison Ford character, for example, or the Sean Young character. In fact, you coukd say the replicants and robots in both movies exhibited more emotions than the humans. Kuburck explored this theme in 2001 with HAL 9000 computer and in A.I. with the child robot with programmed emotions - David, who also returns to meet his "maker" (mother) - thanks to the advanced robots.
