AVP is the worst idea since Greedo shooting first! The 1st AVP - directed by Paul WS Andersson, the man who gave us the Mortal Combat movies (oooh what a merit)! It's really a wonder how he could throw the two coolest Sci-fi villains together in the same movie and NOT succeed. I thought MAYbe AVP Requiem had some potential, but after yet another totally gimped out Predator who got his ass kicked by virtually everybody who is somebody, I gave up on the this "franchize" forever. And the Alien/Predator Hybrid queen...that was a "quality" character there, wasn't it? Here's what they probably thought the 5 minutes of brainstorming her into the world. "So guys, we need to make our mark on the franchize, 'cause we're important ..n stuff." "Oh yay I got an idea! Let's have her laying eggs DIRECTLY down the host's throats! I mean, the mandibles kinda makes her look like a facehugger!" "GAWD you are such a genious!" "Oooh also, let's have the Chestburters hatch after about one minute after gestation! I don't wanna have to wait for the cool stuff to happen. Suspence buildup and anticipation are SO overrated..." No... AVP is but a sidestory, thrown together as fan service only. It has no bearing on either franchize. So, give me a Predator 3, and an Alien 5. Give me new pray for the Predator. Give me an armada Space Jockeys in all kinds of mind-warpingly weird shapes - created by none other that H.R. Giger.
