QuotePersonally I dont see why they should re-design it, the ship in AvP looked good to me...
Except it looked nothing like a Predator ship...
I suspected there would be "continuity" problems from AvP but I'm glad of that. It'll give the directors a chance to start from scratch and use the originals as their basis instead of AvP.
Anderson never gave a toss about continuity when he made AvP. A lot of people seem to forget that.
But changing yet AGAIN the design of the ship may increase the problem because of the old 'suspension of disbelief' crap...
It will instil confusion when we see AVP then AVP2 and the interiors and exteriors of the ship don't match... likes and dislikes aside... ESPECIALLY if fans dislike the changes done in AVP2 by the time they see it...
Despite we liking or disliking AVP, it is out there now, and if they are doing a direct sequel, they should stick to what was done visually in terms of the spaceship design because to me, it will be like changing Sigourney with some other actress from Alien to Aliens, or to use a real MOVIE example, replacing Jodie Foster with Julianne Moore from 'Silence of the Lambs' to 'Hannibal'...
I liked the AVP design, taking into account that the various Predator ships will diverge architecturally from one to the next, but I agree that it looks nothing like a Predator ship (though we have to admit, all we saw from the Pred ship in the first Predator was as it passed by at the beginning, and the rear of it in Predator 2... which were different from Predator to Predator 2...The best glimpse we got was in the AVP2 game so...
So the best shot of the ship we got was actually in a PC game which I don't know if it was just a programmer's design or was based on actual modelisations of the Predator 2 movie... If there is a model, can you post a link to it...? Thanks a million...
