Films aren't that simple.

If they make an AVP that is essentially a blend of Aliens with Predator they pretty much have a great movie already done.

I always wondered why they didn't just make a Aliens style film and chuck a Predator in to confuse the Marines to what is hunting them. Predators as shown in the vs Comics can adapt well to existing stories/universes. I think the AvP films tried to hard to connect the two species when we would have accepted an Alien film where the Predator is hunting Xenomorphs.
A Marine saying I think it's not after us or something along those lines would have been enough.

Simply copying the design and aesthetics from the better films might have tricked me into thinking I was watching a better movie.

The AVP Predators do look like cosplayers, now that I think about it.

(Referencing his observation.  Obviously, some cosplayers are just jaw-droppingly amazing.)

Yes. Exactly!

Completely agree. The AVP Predators were awful for the most part.

The first film needed a PredAlien - how do you get one if the Predator facehugging is removed?
The PredAlien being born on the Predator ship is dumb as the Predators with their x-ray vision, high tech and long history with the Xenos dont realize it (and Scar doesnt realize it either). I guess Chopper could have been facehugged instead but then you need to have him survive the temple explosion somehow and chestburst on the surface.
If they wanted to set up a sequel that bad, have Lex leave with the Predators at the end (but do some character tweaking with Lex being more of a loner frustrated with her life).

It's almost literally as vital as watching the Colonial Marines make a purchase order for ammunition. Certainly more exciting and visually interesting -- but no more necessary.

So it doesn't. Right.

Missing bits. You may want a doctor to look at that.   ;)

I also missed the bit how showing where they got the eggs adds to the story.

No it's a "great minds" thing.

Ah, righto.
