I ask because I do. I think the Alien and Predator franchises have become so interrelated that they are one and the same. When you think of the Alien, you can't help but think of the Predator and vice versa.
In Predator 2, the Predator has an Alien trophy skull.
In Predator: Concrete Jungle, the story features, as far as I'm aware, no Aliens at all ... but Weyland-Yutani is the adversary.
And it's not uncommon for fans to suggest the Aliens owe their genesis to the Predator's themselves.
Do you feel like this is the case? Do the general public and Fox feel this way, you think?
