My wife said that the fire where Peter Parker rescued the little Asian
girl took place at the apartment house where Parker was renting a
room, and that the person who died in the fire was the thin, blonde,
Landlord's daughter who gave Peter the milk and chocolate cake.

I hadn't been aware that the burning building was Parker's apartment,
or that the landlord's daughter was the girl who died, but that all
makes sense, particularly given the scene where the stove caught fire
the first time we saw the daughter.

Did anyone else catch this>

If the fire took place in his building and it was destroyed, how
was MJ able to visit him there in the final scene? Your wife is
mistaken - just some random building.

The "milk and cake" scene took place after the fire rescue scene. The
landlord's daughter looked awfully healthy for a smoking piece of charred
meat, dontcha think?

Speaking of the fire rescue scene, that scene even reused the same
soundtrack cues from the apartment fire scene in the original. With all the
familiarity, I was half-expecting PP to say "It's okay, your baby's fine" in
the same tone of voice as Spider-Man used in the last movie, only to look up
in shock at the face of the same lady and realize that he'd just rescued the
same tyke *again.*

Also, Peter Parker's superpowers might give him the ability to
breathe toxic, superheated smoke and survive. But, what was the
little girl breathing? Having gone through a house fire myself, I
know that even a considerably smaller fire generates huge amounts of
poisonous smoke, so much so that the firemen have to wear oxygen
tanks. My cat died in my house fire, and I barely made it out in
time myself.

The basement in my aunt's big old house caught fire, and when she opened the
basement door, the resultant spew of hot ash and smoke completely destroyed
everything on all 3 above-ground floors. Everything, as in every single nook
and crevice of every object in the house was coated with soot. The
firefighters couldn't believe that she didn't lose consciousness upon
catching the backdraft.

What do you think could have been better about "Prometheus"?
