The pred-alien design, on the other hand, is so close to the ideal, logical pred-alien design and is almost exactly how I envisioned it.
The two problems I have with it is the addition of the "alien-ized" dreads (which look great on preds, NOT on aliens IMHO) and the predator's flesh tone. But mainly the dread locks. *shudders* Well, considering the opinions and beliefs Colin & Greg already have on both species, it's no wonder they've come with these hair brained ideas and can justify it in their minds.
The worst part of all this, is the fact that this is an AVP FILM and not some comic, novel or game. Henceforth will be regarded as canon. Which is exactly why great care needed to be taken with not just continuity and the tone and feel of the film (which they've nailed by the way
), but the two species themselves (which they're majorly screwing up so far
).
