At least black metal bands have the decency to write good riffs.

I think people actually laughed while watching that.

It's not so much of liking that idea, but liking that scene in the movies. Yeah, it goes against the established mythos of the aliens, but it was still cool as hell to watch, and it really gave the movie that extra "umph" of brutality.

And let's face it, the only reason to watch that movie is to see the aliens brutally slaughter everyone, and then get killed by the predator.

The plot is pretty shit, the acting isn't stellar by any means, but the action (when visible) is nice and one sided. So many people get killed.

And so I liked this part because it was just one other moment where people in the theater were going "OH MY GOD!"

BTW not Yautja, Navaha. Predator.  ;D

There's a difference? :-\

Yes...
The difference is huge. Essential.
Yautja  it's the character from the books. In any movie than you can find this word. Books generally are not canon here, and if are- in the same way as Perry and Shirley. If you want to be safe here - don't abuse the name of the Yautja, and never in departments of film.

Understand me well, I love Yautja. Therefore, I try to explain it for you.  :)

And I invite you to a small niche for lovers of Yautja. But not here. For example:

http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=27421.0
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=28424.0

Every one who uses the name of the Yautja properly deserves the care and safety.  :)

@SpaceMarines. You never will know what happens. But I will not talk with you.

In Alien vs Predator, there is an option that has little trivia blips come up as if you a reviewing a document in the Weylang-Yutani databanks (it assumes you are in the future working for the company).  When watching the film in this manner, it refers to the Predator creature as Yautja.  I take this as evidence for the corporation referring to the creature as such in film continuity.

Because she's incapable of defending herself?

I thought it could work if it was some pre-queen way to impregnate new hosts. I mean, the new queen needs some guards.

yeah when i saw it in the theater i was like WTF is going on? and when you watch the movie, you can totally see all the places where the directors were thinking like 10 year olds, "this will be so cool cause it's just like what they did in the first movie"
1. the random hanging body, just cause.
2. the alien under the walkway with the predator above.
3. the predator back tracking with the vision and the targeting triangle to a point where he figured the alien came from
4. him sitting in a tree healing himself.
6.the ship passing earth and spitting out the pod.
7 him shooting at random places in the plant.
8. get to the choppa
9. what the f*ck are you?

at least avp just did bishops pen/knife trick and i think that was it. oh and the drinking bird (but that is more of an easter egg.)

the only thing AVP-r movie has going for it was the sound on the radar (motion tracker sound) and the end with ms yutani.

Well, you know. The fact that she is a queen might explain the shape of the head (mostly).

And if a developing queen has this ability, it makes me wonder why in Resurrection the scientists were waiting for the queen to start laying eggs. I mean the method of the Predalien is far quicker and more effective, since it layed almost fully developed chestbursters than wait for the entire facehugger lifecycle to end.
And with the technology in that century, I doubt that they didn't found that she has this ability.

It was also safer for the scientist, because instead of having to carry all the eggs in the chambers where the future hosts were, they could have just locked them in the same room with the queen and let her to her job.
Not only that, but as seen in AvP-R she could put more than one chestburster inside the host. So instead of having 1 chestburster / egg, the scientists could have managed to create more.

I'm aware that A-R was launched long before AvP-R, but when you are doing something in a series, you mustn't ignore the continuity. And that's what they did.
I'm not nitpicking or anything, just curious.

Quote from: Bishop2 on Feb 11, 2010, 03:52:48 PMAccording to the features on the DVD and their posts on this site, it's actually a developing queen that has this power in order to build up a hive around her before she finally grows her ovopositor and can lay eggs properly

Does that mean that a queen with a human host can do the same thing before she grows up completly?

I would assume so, but I still think it's stupid for reasons I've already stated. Anyway, that's what Colin claims is the reason for the new reproductive cycle.

It's maybe a bit less stupid than what you were talking about - the whole thing where it came from the Predator's reproductive system - which is what GREG has claimed when he was posting over on IMDB.

So it seems like the directors don't even agree on this.

The Predalien impregnating idea contradicts the xenomorph biology.

Xenomorphs who get out of human hosts do not have this feature.
Logically, that means that the Predalien got this impregnating method from its host - the Predator. So does that mean that the Predators also have this impregnating ability? The short answer is : No. So from where does the Predalien get this ability? It makes no sense.

The Predalien is just another Warrior. It's just that instead of brusting out of a human, it burst out of a Predator. Other than that, it remains a simple Drone/Warrior.

According to the features on the DVD and their posts on this site, it's actually a developing queen that has this power in order to build up a hive around her before she finally grows her ovopositor and can lay eggs properly.

QuoteOh, and I do not understand people calling them hybrids. Just like I said before, the Predalien is nothing more than a normal xenomorph, but with a Predator host. It's not a hybrid, because that implies that the ones who got out of human hosts are also hybrids.

They are, really. Every alien is a "hybrid," when you get right down to it, because every alien takes some features of its host animal, as first revealed in Alien 3.

I really don't understand why so many think of the Predalien as some special xenomorph. Common sense tells us that it actually isn't.
