Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[OmegaZilla]

I heard a rumour that in the directors cut of AvP:R wolf escapes from the aliens on his skateboard and they crash into a truck and get covered in manure as a homage to back to the future.

Is that scene even canon?

Why wouldn't it be?

[ScoobySnax]

It's ridiculously stupid.
They can cut the f**king power but run mindlessly into Sentry Guns.

Because it's not in the theatrical cut.

Do they?

It was re-inserted into the AC, ergo it's canon.

Here's what both movies are.

AvP, is like getting slapped in the face by a person with duct tape on their hand. So when they retract, it hurts like a bitch. You'll heal.

AvP-R, is like someone punching you in the stomach, causing you to vomit, then pushing you INTO your vomit, making you lap it up like a dog, then finally taking a nasty taco dump on your face.

You'll need therapy.

Aliens had an SE - not an AC.  Know thy acronyms!

Everybody seems to think that the Aliens running into the sentry guns was them being dumb, bug like creatures just running at them. But we dont actually see the aliens or how many there are, or how many even die as a result. Ive actually always interpreted that scene as the Aliens being smart. Theyve obviously got numbers on their side so theyre testing the perimeters and when the guns keep firing they back off. if the guns had ran out ( and luckily they hold out just long enough) they would of came all the way, but the aliens back off because for all they know the guns will keep firing forever and they know they cant get in that way so they try to find another way in.....which they do. Hmmm yeah that makes em seem dumb all right. The marines where actually lucky that the aliens wheren't stupid and kept coming because then the guns would have went dry and they would of kept on coming as a result.

[DoomRulz]

They kept until running until they realized that wasn't going to work. There's a reason why the last sentry gun didn't run dry. If they were so intelligent, they would've stopped yonks ago.

[SiL]

We are a species literally capable of creating rocket scientists, yet we have plenty of examples of soldiers being made to run unarmed at fortified machine gun placements and the like. Not just a few people - waves of them, one after the other.

And not only do we have the capacity to use guns, but we know full well what they're capable of. The Aliens, at that point, weren't.

[DoomRulz]

Soldiers being made<-- key phrase there. They're not doing because they feel like, they're doing it because most likely a) they have no other choice or b) they're being ordered to.

[SiL]

Someone still made the decision to send unarmed people at armed sentries. And lost far more people in any one of their 13-odd waves than the Aliens ever did in their entire attempt to test the perimeter.

If there was any indication that dozens of Aliens were mercilessly mown down by the guns, people who say 'Dur they were stupid' might have a leg to stand on. But evidence suggests they didn't suffer anything resembling a significant number of casualties, and given their resources - none - they did a good job of testing the marine's defences and finding weaknesses.

So?

If one actually pays attention to the sentry guns scenes, one would notice that the guns in the tunnel run dry in seconds and the Aliens have no cover.  So the Aliens know they will stop at some point.  On level two, they do have cover and use it, in what appears to be an effort to run them down.  However as we see some of them being blown to pieces, they eventually reconsider and pull back.  However the marked lack of bodies and acid holes would indicate not many died from the guns, and therefore they weren't just blindly running into them.
