What do you mean? Do you not like this new EU or something?
I'm saying that I'm not interested in the new EU. Now I haven't said that I hated it or anything, just that I am not interested in the comics or the novels which are being put out. And sure there are reviews out there but they're not enough to get me hooked, line and reeled in. For me, the old stuff is where it is.

While Prometheus did have its flaws, I generally like the ideas that it introduced. I think that Dark Horse has used these ideas very well from the film, and they have made a very gripping and interesting tale.
I liked Prometheus when it came out in theatres, I liked the movie a lot but now.. I just don't seem to like it as much as I did two years ago but I still like it. What just irks me a bit is how they're accommodating EVERYTHING for Prometheus. I can understand that for Alien, but Predator? As a Predator/AvP fan.. I'd rather they left Predator out of that.
I'm just hoping that Lebbon doesn't do anything extremely radical and different with the Predators, like Shirely did with the Hish with his Predator series. But since we have the Yautja and Hish interpretations, I suppose a third wouldn't hurt.. of course he could just write the as Predators, just amoral Hunters who are out for killing for thrills as Hicks and I discussed.
Of course, if he wants to use the normal and Super Predators, I wouldn't mind if he used the Yautja concept for the normal Predators, but writes the Super Predators as Hish.. But I also wouldn't mind it if he didn't use either or.

Also, I have disagree about Predators. It did a very solid job of expanding the Predator mythology while at the same time bringing the series back to what made the first film great in the first place.
We'll have to agree to disagree there. I've stated many times on why I did not like PREDATORS, so I'll give you the short and skinny. I didn't like the preserve planet as I felt it eschewed what the first movie established of these hunters going from world to world as part of a challenging thrill, nor did I like the Super Predators as I felt they devalued the original creature. It felt like a love letter to the first, but also a rehashing of the first. Some scenes were shot for shot remakes.
I don't think I wouldn't have minded the movie had it been marketed and labeled as a reboot than a sequel. Supposedly from what I heard, it was supposed to be a reboot but someone changed their minds.
