Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[TJ Doc]

Just thinking about it now - I don't think we ever been given a good look at their stomachs in the last couple of films. The Aliens have almost constantly been on all fours for a number of years now.

Although we've rarely ever (like, almost evar) had a look at their stomachs anyway thanks to quick editing and dark lighting across the series. I guess it doesn't really matter all that much about them.

It just makes me mad when I see the ADI designs compared with the originals.

[TJ Doc]

derr derr, nuht eberywun can bee liek teh geegur aliun. 

[SpaceMarines]

All they have to do is replicate it! How hard can that be?

[OmegaZilla]

Why does ADI insist upon using the same, horrible stomach design over and over?

Budget.

[SpaceMarines]

Why not reuse the Giger stomachs then? They look much better.

Original suit is in a museum = Do not touch.
Aliens props are all too much damaged to be used I think. Only that guy who has everything () still has the heads I think.

[MrBrokenTusks.]

He is a legend and would love this forum.

[OmegaZilla]

Yeah... anyone knows his name? I forgot it pretty much.

I didn't mean the actual original (that's just silly), but just use the same design or casts or whatever of the original.

ADI's Reason:It doesn't fit over existing animatronics.

Stop defending them!

Smells like bull...

I meant taking moulds of that.
They had the chance on the set of AvPR but didn't, apparently. AvP was a bolt production, if you know what I mean. Production was of 2, maybe 3, months. They had only the moulds of A:R, and for economic reasons, chose them.

Budget.

You've said this before but I've heard no complaining from ADI about budget, ever. Source? All I hear them talking about is how technology has improved, how Tom is the new Lon Chaney (or whomever), and how they are 'custodians' to Giger's design despite honouring it in basic shape only, that is, an anthropomorphic being with an elongated head. Can you point me to where ADI have cited budget as the reason for reusing the design? I know of a quote where one of the Strauses says that the Predator was able to be redesigned for AVP:R, but the Alien, not so, though there was no further elaboration.
The way I see it is, ADI have Giger's creature, they have it the way they want it - that's the way it stays.
