Possibly the most iconic image of the entire franchise.

I saw Alien on cable TV in the early 80s and was both horrified and fascinated by it.  By the time Aliens was released in 1986, I was already a big fan and saw it on opening day.

I didn't have much parental supervision as a child.

I watched them early also, with supervision though. For my recollection, read the last page.

Did you have any idea what you were in for at the time?

It's a big secret why I became a fan. You'll never guess.

Found them on accident. Watched them because I wasn't supposed to.

Heck it was due to his movie that I found out AVP was a thing, which led me to play AVP2, thus making me get into the series.

I remember getting an influx of fans following AvP's release. We all come in at different places.  :)

Then that's probably the best thing that came from the film. Introducing fans to the franchise. I wonder down the road how many will be introduced from Prometheus.

2 or 3.

Give or take a couple.  ;)


I honestly don't know how much exposure Prometheus is going to maintain over time. Even AVP isn't just a film franchise, it's maintaining a pretty decent videogame history as well. And the original films are well known, as are the games. Sometimes I wonder if the prequels won't just slide under the radar and be doomed to some kind of niche status.

The Prequel series brought a great deal of people onto AVPG.

While they're still relatively fresh yes. But down the road, I don't suppose it will be so.

Yeah, if the final entry isn't considered a classic down the line.
