AVP3 Ideas

[Keyes]

I think it's time for another crack at AVP, but done right of course.

[The Old One]

I believe you're wrong.

Also The Thing works with ... everything.

The Thing does- Predator does not.

[SiL]

But your comparison of a bad crossover was The Thing Vs Predator, so what would it matter if the Predator doesn't work with everything

[The Old One]

AVP's a misbegotten idea IMO.

Like Robocop Versus Alien, Terminator Vs Alien or (Superhero) Versus Alien. 
Or Batman Versus Predator, it's fun to see them duke it out- but they don't belong in the same boat.

If it 'had' to be set present day for a third time, I would like to see the Alien Queen recovered from the depths. Being dethawed in the way Megatron was in Transformers.

Like fallen kingdom, except way, way down there. But how preserved would or could she be given the nature of her biology and any environmental factors?

As far as we know she was kept frozen by the Predators for hundreds of years, maybe longer, depending on how many times she was 'summoned' to provide eggs for the hunt. Xenomorphs have shown the ability to survive in space as well.

I personally like to think that xenomorphs have the ability to go into a hibernation mode, allowing them to survive without food or in harsh conditions. I don't know for sure though, sounds like a job for an alienist....

I personally like to think that xenomorphs have the ability to go into a hibernation mode, allowing them to survive without food or in harsh conditions. Almost like shutting themselves down completely, to the point of near death, if need be. I don't know for sure though, sounds like a job for an alienist....

Kind of like the eggs on the derelict in Alien.  Those eggs were there for thousands of years.  Still fresh...

What about a disgraced Predator stumbling on to a Rogue engineer planning to drop the black goo on a Predator Planet, so the Predator has to save his people? At the end, we learn that It was the Predator that slaughtered the engineer's family years ago and the motive was revenge.

[D. Compton Ambrose]

I believe you're wrong.

The villains can be played off of one another nicely. And it doesn't even have to be a "crossover" (at its core its based off of two sci-fi-horror films about predatory alien beings). It could be an "Alien Predators" film. No team-ups. No hamfisted origin stories. Just pure and utter mindf**kery. Not to mention both are rather Lovecraftian space horrors. We could get a really good tale of cosmic terror if we got together the right team.

[The Old One]

AVP's a crossover by definition.

Meant to put it in quotations my bad.
Edit: Fixed.

I know your feelings, but I honestly feel otherwise.

Mixing Robocop, Terminator, Batman, Superman, Blade Runner (your favorite thing to do ) yes, they do not belong in the same boat. Agreed.

But Aliens and Predators are amazingly symbiotic. Almost Ying and Yang. They fit so well that I'm never surprised when I come across a young fan, who's not familiar with the history, thinking these two species were always joined in the same universe. And that truly explains why this wasn't a one time thing. It explains the popularity, the longevity and fascination with this powerful, successful fictional marriage.

I see it today as Alien dragging Predator's irrelevant corpse frankly.
& That rope needs to be cut so they can both be what they ought to be.

They're know together by association because DH pushed that association at their zenith,
-not because it's successful or the right direction for either.

Alien /V\arine Predator
-is a fantastic three way dynamic for the purpose of videogaming, but not otherwise IMO.

I always get a chuckle when Terminator, Predator, Alien, Robocop etc. fans call another said franchise "irrelevant".

And let let me take this moment to thank the great Alien franchise for these new great Neca Predator figures, adding to this irrelevant franchise I love!
