Aliens vs Predators

Bells · 01-07-2013, 09:49 PM

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.

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.

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.

Professor Smarmiarty · 01-08-2013, 03:49 AM

Ehh, the first two predator movies weren't even really about the predator. That was why they worked.

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.

The thing with AvP is the same with Freddy v Jason, as smarty said the focus is too much on the monsters, it looses the allure of the unknown and gets campy...

Hell, make a direct sequel to Predator 2 in modern times... you can even have Old Paranoid Danny Glover in there as the only guy who understand the signs of what's really going on.

If you wanna make it stupid, make it as a found footage movie, Cloverfield style... it's stupid but it would go down easier than AvP at this point...
