I don't understand why so many people went up in arms with how the aliens were presented in this film. They weren't mindless in this film nor were they fodder. Aside from a few inaccurate instances the rest of their potrayal was pretty spot on. As for Wolf being considered OP it really comes down to the individual character. A good example is the AvP Eternal Comic where two aliens overpower a squad of predators.

This Family Guy clip is the perfect summary of why Alien fans HATE this movie. The Alien as General Grant, The Predator as General Lee and the Alien fans as Peter and Brian.

Much like these southerners shitting on U.S history to appease the confederate lovers, AVPR shits on the history of the Alien franchise just to appease the predator fans who got butt-hurt over the first AVP, because god forbid there be a creature in this universe that the predator can't kill with one swing of his dick.

Oh,  a B&W version of 'AvP' would be sweet!  Add film grain and scratches to it.  Make it silent with title cards and subtitles, as if it was made in the 1920's.  Even have some bits missing from it so it looks like an incomplete version was recently found.

Oh Hell, yes...  That would be AWESOME!

Well, I didn't go that far but that would also be a great idea  - I just read a post of yours in the 'What's wrong with AvP?' thread that resonated pretty strongly with the way that I see that particular movie as well.

Here is a similar early rough draft of my AvP edit, if you're interested:

It really sucks that you can't talk about AvP casually without someone mentioning this movie or the other one.
So true(we need a good or decent AVP movie)

This reminded me that I had been working on ideas for an AvPR fan edit myself awhile ago... I had an extremely rough outline of the movie which I had cut together to check on the flow, but I had a hard drive crash and lost everything awhile ago, although I did manage to put one of the workprints up on Vimeo in terrible quality.

After this version I made further changes - back here I was trying to remove the connection between AvP and AvPR, so that they were stand alone movies that were only connected through theme.  I was planning an edit of both movies -  AvP was going to have more of an old Mummy movie kind of vibe (complete with making the movie black and white), while AvPR was going to be more along the lines of an 80's 'video-nasty' kind of sci-fi flick.

Predator fans may not like the changes I made, as I pushed back the arrival of Wolf until the second night while trying to give more agency to Chet and the Aliens at the start - when Wolf arrives in the town, the Aliens are already running amok.  This wasn't done out of any dislike of Wolf and the Predators, but more because the timing on the movie really irritated me - Wolf is in the sewers for a whole day? - and because I didn't like the sudden appearance of the *cough* nuclear *cough* power station in the movie.

I should probably have put this in it's own thread rather than potentially derailing this one...

I understand your point of view, perhaps they did look different due to the vitality of their host.

Eternal is a bizarre concept, it begins centuries ago with a man encountering a crash landed predator ship and then skips timelines to current day where the man is still alive. Don't want to reveal too much but a squad of predators are shown to have difficulties with two aliens. This is probably one of the very few times we see predators out number aliens.

Ok, thanks, I'll check it out, haven't read any AVP comics in a while.

Back to the topic...I liked the fan edit but I wish that the creator of the edit would have let Wolf see the ship crashing on earth and when he's inside the ship on earth, he'll see that a Predalien was running loose onboard it before it crashed through the dead Predators bio mask, that's how they first wanted to have Wolf know that there was a Predalien present.

It would explain alot why he jumped between being on a hunt and a cleaning mission, once he knew that the Predalien and the facehuggers have escaped the ship his mission changed, it went from a cleaning mission to damage control.

I think that many fans of the Alien would claim that they where presented as "mindless", some of these Aliens even lost their ability to bleed acid, the Predalien was one of them. The official explanation is that they removed that special effect because they didn't have enough money, I would accept that explanation if the movie was a movie about a movie...

But it wasn't, so I have to find a explanation that's logical imo, so that I may enjoy the movie. And the only one that fits is to look at these Aliens as Aliens that are flawed, flawed on a genetic level, because they came from a predalien that also was flawed on a genetic level, why was it flawed? My simple answer is that Predator and Alien dna doesn't mix well, especially when the "queen", aka Predalien came from a dead host. And that fits with what we saw when watching AVP-R.

QuoteAs for Wolf being considered OP it really comes down to the individual character. A good example is the AvP Eternal Comic where two aliens overpower a squad of predators.

Sorry, haven't read that comic. Could you please expand on the example?
