Assuming Fox nixes all the Aliens comics and novels that introduces new species of aliens intelligent enough to produce technology then the only alien species that we have met to produce such tech are the Predators and the Engineers; there's the obvious reference to Pred tech in AVPR and how it influenced future human space travel, but there's no evidence at all of human acquisition of Engineer technology especially since their tech is bio-organic.Quote from: predxeno on Sep 21, 2014, 04:45:25 PMI've been wondering about that as well. Do the Arcturians even have tech to begin with? I don't know if Moore deliberately knew that he was referencing AVPR but I think it's pretty clear that he took inspiration from it since it's the only film to suggest that humans took advantage of alien technology and since this is a VERY small detail in the book, it isn't inconceivable that Fox may have overlooked it when editing the story.Quote from: predxeno on Sep 21, 2014, 06:37:31 PMThe thing is, if he wasn't referring to the Predators then who was he referring to in that quote? Exactly how many different technologically advanced alien species do fans think exist in the Alien universe? I wasn't aware that the AVP franchise had turned into the Star Wars/Star Trek universe.Quote from: predxeno on Sep 21, 2014, 07:47:27 PMTbh, the idea of multiple technologically advanced aliens is possibly a worse idea than the AVP movies combined; the EU stories I really detested were the ones where they showed up because they took attention away from the actual stars of the story, the Aliens. You have a point saying that the Arcturians were the "first" intelligent alien life encountered but I don't think there are dozens of these alien species out there, otherwise the find in the Sea of Sorrows novel would have been of significantly lesser importance in comparison.Quote from: predxeno on Sep 21, 2014, 08:06:26 PMI never said I liked the first AVP film but I DO like AVPR, however I will admit that upon some reflection AVPR was less set up as a genuine Alien/Predator film and more as a teen slasher flick with mindless gore, dumb teenagers, and sex/rape scenes. AVPR was the first ever teen slasher I saw so that could have influenced my enjoyment of the story (that and I was already used to reading EU stories that followed a similar genre trend). I still vouch for AVPR as one of my all-time favorite films but I also understand that if it wasn't the first teen slasher I ever saw then there is a chance I may not have liked it as much as I did when first seeing it.

Even though Eva betrayed her own kind and switched to a non-ginger set.I have high hopes that in time, you will eventually realize the raw attraction of the greatest, sexiest guitarist that ever lived in his prime. One of these days, you might leave that comfortably numb shell where you have been marooned, the obsolete us and them mentality of beholding the Universe, eclipse the primitive urges and young lust you encompass for beholding the opposite sex in the flesh and join us in the great gig in the sky, before brain damage becomes irreversible.Wish you were here, Shas.
