Quote from: happypred on Dec 18, 2015, 12:38:56 AMThe accelerant is a fine concept and an interesting plot device if used well IMO...Sebela just f*cked up the AvP comic and Olivetti's art was bad (guy could not draw Predators or Aliens at all)I thought the accelerant was used well in the Prometheus comic

I do think Fox has a plan for them, it just remains to be seen where they eventually show up (movie, novel, comics, game, etc.).
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 18, 2015, 08:31:10 AMI know I'm often quite harsh about the Fire and Stone series and the overuse of Prometheus elements but sitting down and thinking about it they actually were quite constant with what the accelerant did - aside from explaining properly why Elden was effected like he was. I know we all have our ideas on the matter though.
Quote from: happypred on Dec 20, 2015, 01:52:07 PMSome more exposition about the nature of Elden and what's a meat robot would've been niceI suspect they're like really infantile Blade Runner Replicants
Quote from: Ultramorph on Dec 20, 2015, 10:57:23 PMI wish Sea of Sorrows had mentioned the constructs, it would have been a nice cross-media reference. There was a good opportunity for it when Decker was recollecting on synthetics getting civil rights. It would have been cool if he had thought something like "And don't even get me started on those 'meat robots' they started rolling out in the 23rd century."
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 21, 2015, 08:21:43 AMI'm not sure they came to an actual conclusion themselves.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Dec 22, 2015, 12:43:31 PMAgreed on those points. Predator in particular was stronger - I think mostly because it wasn't focused on all the other aspects. No accelerant or etc. It was just about that white whale.
