You would think someone at FOX would skim through all of these forums and say, "Hey wait a second, if all these people are already bashing where we're taking this film, before a trailer can even be released, maybe we should have a change of plans?"
I mean, what do we know? We only talk about literally every possibility Alien and Predator outcome there could be, and dedicate a portion of our lives to do so.
Sorry to disappoint you, but we're really not that important, and i say that as a fan.
Fans like to think that they are 100% the target audience, but we're really not, if you really think about it, if every fan on here would buy a ticket we wouldn't even be justifying a quarter of the budget these movies cost to make.
The fanbase is too small, hence they care more about what the general audience would think and to be honest, most fans on here or any other website have horrendous ideas of where to take the franchise. The directors of AvP-R listened to a lot of stuff of the fans that wasn't planned and/or in the script, and created a shitty movie they ended up hating just as much as most fans.
A director should never compromise/replace their vision for someone elses. Ask 10 fans what this movie should be about, you get 8 different answers, no thx, i rather have the result of a competent writer/director than 99% of the fans that
think they know better without having seen a single frame of footage, leaked script or not.
