Thanks so much :-)

I had an idea for a story that involved the Commonwealth (that exists militarily in the future headcanon that I invented).
I just think that having Brits, Aussies, Saffas et al (the Commonwealth is pretty diverse after all) dealing with
Aliens and Predators would give you some room to differentiate from the crew of the Sulaco whilst still keeping the military aesthetic.

Genuinely a good idea.

That too. I don't know who's to blame for AvP:R - I can't recall seeing on this forum much support for the Bros, but this thread seems to be the exception. It's a shame - you can see what it WANTED to be after the action-friendly AvP, but... well, we've all seen the movie...

I'd have been interested to see that desert idea instead of Requiem.

Yup. I seem to recall him waxing lyrical about it on the special features about what a great idea that was.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned that it would have been great to do a more national guard focused thing. I love the idea - but I think that anything with US soldiers in the AvP universe would get compared to "Aliens" - the squad was so memorable and (of course) quotable.

I had for a story that involved the Commonwealth (cos that exists militarily in the future headcanon that I invented). I just think that having Brits, Aussies, Saffas et al (Commonwealth is pretty diverse after all) dealing with Aliens and Predators would give you some room to differentiate from the crew of the Sulacco whilst still keeping the military aesthetic.

if they wanted a small budget why not set it in a space craft? interior corridors? if you wanted an out-door environment why not have used maybe some kind of in-door park area of a ship to simulate outdoors? Heck the original Alien ship felt huge.

Quote from: IZE on Aug 25, 2018, 04:39:22 PM* OWLF should have definitely had a presence in the film again piggy back off of Predator 2.

Technically Stevens and his people are OWLF. At least, the logo is on one of the monitors he's watching.

have some Predator dialogue with subtitles, its something we have never seen, other then growls, we never know what they are saying to each other. Would have made for a great opening i think, then once the ship crashed boom.


I think Predators have been humanized enough, I would not want their communication to have subtitles as it will just make it worse.

i think had they made some changes to the script like....

* Dont rush the whole birth and growth of the Predalien. personally i would have made the first 15 mins of the movie have no humans whatsoever, just the Predalien stalking the 3 Predators on the scout ship back to earth. Light the ship better and have some Predator dialogue with subtitles, its something we have never seen, other then growls, we never know what they are saying to each other. Would have made for a great opening i think, then once the ship crashed boom.

* Have maybe one Predator survive, Injured of course and trying to hide out and contain the situation while calling for back up (Wolf).

* Leave only Dallas, Kelly and Eddy as main characters they could have piggy backed off the whole Predator 2 cop subplot

* OWLF should have definitely had a presence in the film again piggy back off of Predator 2.

* At least mention something about AVP maybe in the background have a reporter talking about the expedition crew still being missing or Weylands death ect.

All these plot changes are making me want to write a better draft of this movie geez lol.

No more or less than the fact that they never found Jungle Hunter's ship.

I guess what I am saying is...

It would made more sense for a pred ship, not a shoulder cannon, to be the basis of our own interstellar ships

Quote from: PredBabe on Jul 28, 2018, 12:15:04 AMWeren't they going to originally have Dutch find the pod and have the brawl take place around it?

Yeah, in the novelisation the final battle ends at the Predator's ship, which ends up exploding after Dutch damages it.

I believe they were originally going to have Dutch find his little hunting camp with all the trophies.

It's the Predator version of pay-per-view!


Ah, according to the Thomas Brothers the other Predators were there just to observe City Hunter before he get's inducted into their tribe. In their version of things, Predators hunt alone, and it's only after they prove their toughness by hunting the ultimate Prey that they become part of a group.

I always figured the ship detonated with Jungle Hunter's wrist gauntlet anyway.

As for transferring data/footage to the mothership, I like that concept. I feel like, with their technology, Jungle Hunter could probably transmit it from Earth to a ship in Earth's orbit with ease even, as opposed to sending back the pod, but either way I guess.

Something that always bugged me with P2 was that they had a rather large ship sitting in the city for, what we can at least assume to be, 2 months and no one noticed. Also how lame for the other predators to have to chill on the ship while City Hunter goes out to play.

The second film's novel states the Jungle Hunter's ship returned home on autopilot following his death, taking with it a record of what he had seen and done while on Earth.

It goes on to say the second film's Predator comes to Earth because he's seen these recordings and wishes to test himself against the same challenging prey, which I thought was a nice idea.
