Great episode to hear driving to and from work!
I can safely say that even if there was some negative feedback here and there, the books had received lots of positive reviews. Some feedback makes sense such as how there was no xenomorph win outcomes, which unintentionally lead to some people thinking there is a Predator bias going on. Sometimes the Predator should win, sometimes the Aliens, sometimes the humans survive and there is no win on either side, or sometimes no one wins and everyone dies. There are ways to make the stories so much more memorable. Even with the criticism, there was alot of great stories that I wish were novels on their own. Both here and the previous Predator anthology novels.
The Predator bible being 900 pages is a size I never expected. Here I thought they didn't have much attention towards Predator, seeing that I see alot more Alien favored content these days so its positive to hear that there is in fact detailed documentation on the Predator universe. I really hope we can see some of this one day. I'm curious to hear what is canon or not (I like consistency in my stories ok) and other things we haven't seen yet.
Oh, and my question got answered! Surprised to hear my name on the podcast I gotta say, wasn't expecting that but happy to hear the response. So there was something in the works for this meet up, alright! Well, it's never too late to start on that story, and thanks with the Predator Hunting Grounds story updating the series, now with Isabelle back into the picture, and the addition of Dante, we can have a real solid squad of Predator Hunters in our hands. Since restrictions on The Predator and Dutch has been lifted, I wonder if anything will be touched on The Predator. I know PHG mentioned that the Predator Killer suit itself isn't functional, but I know OWLF can re-engineer the nanotechnology to be useful for something. Nanotech is something that no self-respecting xeno-scientist, or any scientist/engineer can ignore, especially if they can apply it to fighting Predators like for weapons and armor.
I never thought that Arnold proposed (Or was proposed to, I cannot remember) to write a short story on Dutch's POV post Predator. I would have loved to see Arnie himself take a jab at writing his character. Shame that execs had to push for a full on novel and discourage the whole thing. The smell of $$$ had to lure them in and ruin everything huh.
Great episode and thank you to everyone involved to making these stories, their efforts and passion are seen, keep going at it!
