Just saying, one Alien in the first AvP movie was able to take out 2 predators...Anderson handled Aliens just fine.
More specifically AVPR then, I also hate the fact Anderson had to use AR designs, but as I understand that was due to budget constraints more than personal choice.

What Alien ahev to do with Prometheus? You`re talking about design or general movie theme? Cause if it`s about Deacon`s desing, I`m taking AvP Aliens any day. Movie theme is there, but plot is a mess. I think I prefere AvP here too.
You'll take Alien Resurrection designs over the Deacon?
Both plots have their problems but one is rehashed idea in a different medium and the other isn't.
As an artist I can tell you the Deacon design immediately has more depth to it than the disgustingly simplified Xenomorph seen in A:R and in AVP.
It's better to do something new than to try and use an old monster and make it inferior.
Re-reading my post I realise it sounds a little insulting and I don't like fights so let me just say this.
From an artistic and intellectual standpoint Prometheus is superior.
From an entertainment standpoint perhaps not, but I have two ways of appreciating a film.
One category is where films like Predator fall in, The Fifth Element and Batman Returns.
The other, is Donnie Darko, Prometheus, Lawrence of Arabia etc
I simply prefer the second category.
