I hear what you're saying 'killzonewithbladesandteet', perhaps I should have made my comment sound like less of an attack.
I fully agree that fans have to get behind things, I know I do with all things 'Terminator'. If I may, AVPR is the exact flipside of AVP, they're the exact opposite to one another (in terms of violence, closer to source material, etc). I suppose a balanced version would be good but in the end the Pred is the most humanoid and most related to by audiences.
The genesis of both characters were low budget action/horror films using guerilla film making and stretched resources, which weren't especially successful at the box office either. Also, 'Predator' and 'Alien' (as well as their sequels) weren't received much better than AVPR or even AVP upon initial release, but people warmed to them and newer generations embraced them.
