How is AVP-R "going back to the roots"?

[wmmvrrvrrmm]

Just out of curiosity, how does this look like it's "going back to the roots"? T

maybe this is a reference to an interest in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, since this did inspire Ridley Scott when he made Alien, and the Strauses have the cinematographer from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre working on their movie

And if true, it would seem one of many of Scotts influences have come back to haunt this franchise in a bad way.

H.P Lovecraft, Jaws and The Omen were all listed as inspiration for "Alien" also. God, do I wish they'd return to those, instead of the "slasher" direction...

Jaws is far more respectable agreed.

[Weasel]

Jaws got #1 scariest film of all time on BRAVO'S list. Alien was #2. 

[Robotpo]

Personally, as a kid I was scared by Jaws because it could conceivably happen. Was never scared by the aliens, as they were just too damn cool.

I wouldn't know about The Omen being on the list, but Exorcist managed to get in there amongst the ones that interested Ridley Scott

Yeah this is definately one thing that worries me about AvP-R ....christ, I hope it doesn't turn out to be a slasher!!

I remember a Predator fan film that falls into a Slasher genre and that is "The Harvest". Pretty much creative and thrilling fan film though, a Bad Blood Predator killing and hunting innocent humans (the couples) in a forest after their cars break down.

if someone could make one of these films and go back to Dan O'Bannon's Alien's roots, it might be interesting because there are a great deal of puzzling little ideas floating around some of his source material. It would be great if thist "going back to the roots" statement could be expanded on without just leaving it to float around as an enigmatic comment

[Sheriff Eddie Morales]

I believe AvP 2 is going a little back to the roots of Predator.Cuz we see a woods,like the jungle from the first Predator.There's also a city.Like from Predator 2.And there are a lot of military,like the Marines in Aliens.

That still relies on her knowing Lambert was dead, instead of presuming.

Except you can look at what the room looks like, and make deductions, based on how high Lambert is and what angle her leg is at (at least) and you realize she's not lain on top of something, she's crammed into something, in addition to being bereft at least one pants leg. She's doornail dead.

We've seen what born queens do in A:R, but what does a lone alpha Alien do to reproduce? What's that next phase look like?

I thought it was pretty clear in the Alien DC...and secondly, the concept of an alpha alien is ridiculous...

There Called Praetorians AVP 2 FTW
