The Boys already has the outright corporate malevolence angle pretty well covered. What I find more interesting is people doing bad things but with good intentions.
And I'll agree about David. There's a lot of good ideas in Prometheus, but they needed another couple of redrafts of the script to get rid of all the stupid. Thematically the film was closer to Blade Runner than Alien and really should have been handled as such.

The Boys is absolutely fantastic.
The satire is absolutely pin-sharp, but I'd like to see a more dramatic angle and I reckon Weyland-Yutani would be an absolutely ideal fictional corporation to base it on. Probably never going to happen though, sadly.
