What are your guys views on its design and the new life cycle?
I personally love the cowl and skull, and don't really mind the way the mandibles where done, or the color, but the dreadlocks bug me so much. They seem to rigid, makes them look shitty.
As to the life cycle, its interesting, offers some potentially disturbing scenes. For me, it all comes down to if they can somehow offer an explanation for this alternate life cycle. something to do with predator reproduction?
WIth AVPR, I'm getting the feel that i would be more content with this movie if it wasn't the AVP creatures. It really seems like your standard horror movie cliche with aliens and preds thrown in just to make extra money. And I really dont like that. They deserve so much better.
Just watch AVP become fox's Saw. Spit out a new one every year or two.

I saw the explanation for the new reproduction method. I really dont get why everyone uses AR as an example as to why colin's explanation is BS, it works fine with AR. queen was contained, had no one to implant em in. the one it really fucks with is A3. because colins pretty much said she molts from a drone. and that contradicts A3. Then again, aliens may come in strains, they may have had a long time to evolve on seperate planets.
I also think this has some interesting applications in the ccg. will add some new ideas later.

I don't like his responses to SiL, his justifications and etc...I just feel like he was a 10yo fanboy justifying including a King Alien in his fanfic.

I think we need someone who respects the source material, and likes the movies, but isnt a fanboy. I think the strauses might be bit to fanboyish for this. Then again, it is their first movie, and they do deserve slack. I wish fox didnt use a/p movies as something for new directors to cut their teeth on.

It really appears to me that the Bro's are expanding, but they have all the right to do so, should be fresh, but its feasible as well. |

Yeah...but you're one of them. A Predator fan. The AvP movies are pretty much Predator movies with Aliens added in. The Aliens already have two lifecycles. We don't need them adding in another.

Yeah...but you're one of them. A Predator fan. The AvP movies are pretty much Predator movies with Aliens added in. The Aliens already have two lifecycles. We don't need them adding in another. I agree. I think the Alien fanboys like Sil need to calm down. When you're making an AvP movie, it should always favour the Predators and their films. Hardcore Alien fans like Sil are going to be sorely dissapointed when they see AvPR. |

Just be glad they are still making movies with Predators and Aliens. They could go the way of the grave real quick.

Hardcore Alien fans like Sil are going to be sorely dissapointed when they see AvPR. The problem isn't even favoring the Predators, the problem is downplaying the lethality of the Alien. Its obvious the Predator has to win, but the Aliens should give him a run for his money. It shouldn't have the video game feel of mowing down rank after rank of monsters. These movies don't have to be Predator sequels with Aliens, they can be equally faithful and fair to each franchise if someone takes the fucking time and effort to do so. |
