WTF Aliens vs Predators
Alright, fuck it, let's do this.

Here is a series due to a properly done, actually GOOD reboot... Predator. This is a series worth saving, alright? And you wanna know why? Cause Aliens had a shot... and on the Sci Fi world, people say that Aliens are the most horrifying things in the galaxy... Sci-fi greatest horrors!

Well, i'm here to tell you that Aliens are Chumps. Chumps.

After seeing what they managed to do with Dredd and so many other series and movies, i really want to see some Predator action on the big Screen. Not that SyFy Channel bullshit AvP that ran the series into the ground... no. Let's dump out the stupid ass aliens all together, you get me a modern city on a bad day, you put a god damn predator on that city, and you follow it around with a camera.

You don't even need a freaking script, just Mad Lib it. It will be fine.

Also, Predators is one of the series that scared the living shit out of me when i was little, Aliens just bored me. I didn't want to watch it cause it was tens of minutes of boring followed by a lot of noise and a scare... lame sauce i say!

Now, Predator? Predator is fucking scary.Sure, he got blasted by Murtaugh of all people on the second movie... but c'mon!



So, i guess we are clear on this... Aliens suck. Predators Rule. No silly ass hollywood script is going to trump common sense. Glad we got that straighten out gentlemen...

Bells where have you been?

e- Anyway, I don't feel like Predators should be classified as a "horror" in the same vein that Xenomorphs are. Predators are ruthless, calculating, efficient, and strive for a good hunt. They are meant to be feared, of course, but they aren't horrifying.

Ok, i know of that film, i have not seen it, people tell me it sucks. Does it suck?

As for the horror aspect, well.. think about that... Aliens are scary in close quarters, Predators can make you feel unsafe in open space.

If you watched the trailers, it sucked hard. If you didn't see any of the trailers, then it was an okay movie.

They digitally altered the trailers to make it look like there were far more Predators in the movie than there really were. I can't seem to find it right now, but there was a guy who wrote a long and angry review, demanding that the movie company owed him for falsely advertising the number of Predators in the movie and they cut him a check.

Well, depending on who the director is, Xenomorphs don't exactly mean 'horror' either. See, Alien as compared to the sequels to Alien.

Predators are probably just as flexible. It could be just straight up Extreme Most Dangerous Game, or you could tone it way down and have a Predator act all Slendy-like to torment one guy all psychological.

I liked Predators. I wouldn't mind Rodriguez actually having a go at making a decent Aliens vs. Predators movie.

Oh boy, a discussion about 2 of my favourite series ever. Erm, both are equally great, Predator 2 is an excellent movie and sequel, but Aliens is still the superior movie, alongside T2. Sorry Smarty.

Predators was quite good, but it was lacking in... something.

I dunno, judging by the examples of the previous AvPs. Though admittedly the problem with the first was it was made a PG-13, which is the very definition of stupid. As for Requiem, it has no excuse for being the worst piece of crap ever put on film, yet somehow it managed to be so on every level.

Still, I'd prefer another AvP than another Alien prequel. God Prometheus sucked.

Predator 2 took a shitty movie, took the best bits of it and improved them, threw out the bad bits and put in new good bits. It'd be a good movie even if the Predator never showed up.
Aliens 2 took the first movie and just got rid of the thriller aspects and just put in more guns. It's the Micheal Bay approach to a sequel.
And Terminator 2 starred a douchebag kid who you wanted to die. And it completely destroyed the rules established in the original film.

Predator 2 is possibly the greatest sequel ever made.
Predators is Adrien Brody trying to be scary.
You guys are dumb.

Predators did also have the noticeable flaw of the big selling point being that there's more than one predator... and then just having them come and attack one at a time.
