I think the films have tainted the other media to an extent.

Having it go down in space, far in the future would make the sense. Especially since most of the comics and novels (if not all, idk) happen in space. Plus the lack of resources and isolation from the rest of humanity would make the situation more precarious for the humans - believably. Then the stars of the show (the alien and predator) can take over.
The ideal would basically be to ratchet things up and up for the first two acts, and then blow out the gears in the final act with the Alien and Predator. Have alien and predator take turns picking away at the people from both sides. The Predator can wipe out and take on the big guns, the alien can do it's thing in the vents and sub levels, and then the two can be drawn into battle somewhere in between. I've always said that, more or less, FvsJ was the ideal "versus" film, and how they intermixed the lores of both franchises was pretty solid. That's how i'd want it done with the Alien and Predator.

In the original cut it goes Ash exits, Ripley looks at Lambert, Lambert looks at Ripley, then cuts to Action Parker (TM) going to refuel the flamethrower. That Parker scene got cut from the DC.
I wonder why.
Pacing, that's the reason for all the changes in the Marketing Cut. lol
Shame really considering better stuff could've been done with it besides what was.

Could it be from the Virtual Workprint?

For me the ideal AVP movie at this point would actually be a cut down affair.
One alien. One Predator. A cast of characters cut from the cloth of films like The Thing or Outland. Civilians, but no push overs. Set on planet that's half desert, half Beksinski painting. An interesting Predator that is never an anti hero but is also in some respects clearly understood. Inspired by the short "Chained to Life and Death."

Where the heck is that b-roll of Big Chap from and why is this my first time seeing it?
I don't know where it originally comes from, probably some BTS doc, but I cut them out of an "extended death scene" for Brett. There's a couple more interesting shots in there that are sorta awkwardly cut together.
