Alien-Predator Literature / Re: Aliens the Original Years ...

I just got my copy.
It's missing this:

Tbf it does say right there that was unpublished.

So far as I'm aware the only previously unreleased stuff in these collections is the conclusion to Crusade.

They included a cover from music of the spears that was never used... well, a more explicit version of a cover anyway.

Edit:
I went back and double checked. Yea, volume 2 has the original/unrevised versions of a cover from music of the spears and labyrinth, as well as two unused cover arts from a music of the spears TPB that was never published.

That's fine. I'm more than ok with this new movie just existing as a movie and not being driven into the ground by an endless amount of streaming spinoffs.

If one eventually does happen though, I bet they pivot and do Short Round instead of this long-rumored Abner/young Indy one.

I think think FTL *causes* premature aging, but rather, like in real life, due to time dilation of travelling at high speeds, time passes differently during space travel (I'm sure you've heard the 'old example of "if you sent an astronaut to Mars for a 1 year round trip, upon returning to Earth x-amount of years would have passed") it's a real thing but it works both ways depending on the type of dilation (for example, gravitational dilation caused by large astrological bodies or black holes etc can make one appear to have aged faster) in reality, nobody is aging any faster than anyone else, it simply appears that way due to time passing at different rates. Cryotubes freeze a passenger at point of departure, therefore, you would expect that no matter how time passes differently, they would appear exactly the same as they left upon arrival once thawed. 😊👍

Might be in the novels then, I don't think the comics mention it.

Which is weird because it feels like inventing a problem that doesn't need to exist to explain someone that doesn't need to be explained.

... although that's pretty par for the course for the EU.

Have you ever dressed up as a nun?

Asking for a friend

I was once possibly maybe a nun for Halloween a few years ago...

General Alien-Predator Merchandise / Re: NECA Predator Figure Serie...

Last post by Master - Today at 09:39:24 AM

This is it though, the simplification of the design through the years. Predator 2 was the peak of the design and with each subsequent sequel we lost something up to the point of the Predator where even predator mask was taken. Fearl was step in the right direction, but still was lacking allot.

Feral was the furthest away. The mask can no longer function as a breathing apparatus, as it's shown originally. The pieces of armour are just magically stuck to him, not strapped in place. There's nothing connecting any of his technology together like the originals with their cables and pipes.

And  while it's not the first film to ditch the netting, it's the most egregious for it.

Considering it's supposed to be more primitive, it relies on much more abstract magical technology to make any sense, unlike the tactical designs of the originals.

You are right of course. I was referring to Upgrade and his bare apperence, where everything was stripped from him along with iconic mask.

I've said that before, but Feral occurs to me more of Superpredator variety. It feels allot more like creatures from Predators then from original films.

The idea of the design is comes from many similar points.

Alien Films / Re: Egg on Sulaco

Last post by SiL - Today at 05:45:25 AM

It's been known for a long time there were multiple eggs made and on set, the question is if they actually used them both on set and if they consciously decided to only make one visible.
