[Voodoo Magic]

Thanks again to Breanna!  Great to learn more info on how and where these alternate endings would have taken us!

[Nightmare Asylum]

God, it still completely blows my mind that this is a thing that they ever even considered. Let alone filmed!

[SiL]

That main unit filmed. Jesus Christ.

[Voodoo Magic]

I do hope these scenes do surface one day.

I am curious what BDJ & Kradan, the biggest The Predator fans I know, would have preferred: One of these endings or the ending we got?

[BigDaddyJohn]

Honestly I prefer the ending we got with the predator killer. But it's like choosing between a punch in the face and a kick in the balls. I'll take the former.

[Master]

All of them are equally crap.

[Voodoo Magic]

To be fair, while one might not favor the aim in narrative, the scenes itself could perhaps be well constructed.

[BigDaddyJohn]

Yeah it's possible. Breanna Watkins seems cool and very enthusiastic about it. I'm sure she and the whole crew did their best with what they were given.

I also heard that there was a big set piece action sequence in the emissary cut, with tanks engaged in a chase with the hybrids, I would very much love to see that.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Well constructed or not, they're still scenes that feature a living, breathing Ripley or Newt arriving in the modern day in a totally separate franchise after dying ~150 years in the future.

Now this is something I actually would have liked to have seen. The Ripley/Newt stuff, however? Not at all.

[Kradan]

I do hope these scenes do surface one day.

I am curious what BDJ & Kradan, the biggest The Predator fans I know, would have preferred: One of these endings or the ending we got?

Well, PredKiller scene as iffy as it is at least makes SOME sense. Throwing Ripley/Newt in there makes none. So, I'll give my vote to the ending we got. However, I still would like to see these alternative endings just for the curiosity's sake

Have to agree there

[426Buddy]

What an embarrassing story concept, talk about dodging a bullet.

[Voodoo Magic]

As a fan of Alien Vs Predator, it does make me a bit sad that it appears they were setting up a third AvP film here - which perhaps could have happened if The Predator was executed better on all levels.

[Kradan]

If only AvPR didn't kill AvP as a franchise. If only 

[Voodoo Magic]

If only AvPR didn't kill AvP as a franchise. If only 

Yeah, that's fair, even though I believe the first AvP film didn't do the license any favors either. But with The Predator, it looked like a conscious effort to revive AvP, but it never left the starting gate.

Of course the next effort to revive AvP appeared to be the Netflix animated AvP series, which got squashed too with the acquisition reportedly. So the hits just kept on coming.
