Just cos Colin's a filmmaker, and filmmaking is tough as nails rolled in concrete, doesn't make his ideas any less stupid in my eyes. I have a tendency to call a spade a spade and see no reason why Colin should get any preferential treatment when it comes to talking about his ideas.

Agreed. The best part about these movies is the passion that the fans have for them, even if we all totally disagree.

I really don't see how it is seen as contradicting something that has never been seen on film, or confirmed. Besides, nothing has been changed. This is just another cycle added on. It's not a very efficient way to reproduce, but as long as it gets them to where they need to be for the Queen to fully develope, why is it a problem?

I remember reading many posts from members here that said they would have a problem if it was egg-morphing. It's to slow a process and so on. Now we have something NEWand now there problems with that. How can something new, unexplored, and never seen on film contradict anything. This new idea isn't discrediting the old. It's simply adding on, or evolving and adapting to survive.

I would think that once a queen reaches full maturity, this new idea would no longer be needed. It would once again start laying eggs. Facehuggers are a far more efficient to populate. In a different situation, the Alien may have a different method of reproducing. Aliens adapt well to their environment. Since this is the first time this timeline of the Aliens' life cycle has been explored in film, there are no rules being broken. No cannon being over written. This is establishing something new.

I must say, that's a pretty amicable response amidst the negativity. 8)

I have this great idea for a Predator Mind killing weapon. He just looks at an Alien and it explodes... sound great huh?

The Queen's messed-up nature only came into play the end, after she'd gone through her natural reproductive process.

I love how something is "lame-ass" when you haven't seen it at all.
Barf goes the PredAlien into the person's mouth, with all loving close-ups of icky goo and someone being forced to swallow.

Really. Gimme egg morphing any day.
One problem there, genius; the egg morphing was cut from the OFFICIAL film, it's not canon, it was the DIRECTOR's take on the movie, which last time I checked, isn't canon either, therefore Colin is not forced to use it, since it is not official continuity, is he?  ::) Boy, you really need to do your homework, SiL.

And someone before mentioned how it wasn't hard for the runner alien in A3 to defend the queen, OF COURSE IT WASN'T! You think a bunch UN-ARMED prisoners are going to put up that much of a fight? Hell, most of them were killed trying the lure the damn thing into the furnace. If it had been facing against CMs, it would've gotten it's ass blown off.

Because it's a concept that isn't needed. Particularly in this case.

Dude, what a f**king stupid idea!

The Predators should obviously have Aliens on a leash. And a collar. Ever see The Running Man? They go past a certain point, boom, their heads explode.

A Queen wasn't needed either, but it's since been accepted. And SiL...you know what the word "joke" means, right?

...I'm gonna ignore the last part.

But still, egg morphing was established in 1979. Random New Barfing Technique is entirely superfluous and nowhere near as good an idea. I don't need to see it to know it's not as layered as what the morphing brings to the table.

I don't expect you Predator guys to understand...however, if you look at this from our perspective, how would you feel?

Let's say that AVP:R makes it so that Predators reproduce the same way as this new abomination, and the Predalien derived this new ability because of the Preds. Would you simply accept this? Probably not, even though this is the best explanation for this new ability. We have never seen an alien do this kinda crap before. Not once in 5 movies, so why start now?

This whole concept was totally ill advised.
Sure it's just a movie, but to some of us it's a hobby.

SiL's just playing, too. :D

Still, though...telekenisis is cool, mind-blowing Preds non-withstanding. :P
