With Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the Xenomorph queen could technically be considered a Disney princess...
Make Disney Great Again.
At least this one doesnt sing ^^
hahahhahhhahaha
Female Predator gonna be Disney princess
Why do you assume her gender lol
By marking her, he acknowledged her as a fellow hunter and clanmate. He basically protected her with that mark by giving her status in his culture.
And also probably knew he wouldn't have survived at all with her assistance. Which is also why he marked her as an ally.
Hey mom how you get that scar?
Mom: long story kiddo but am a certified badass
@Night Bot Um some are a lot though are meh when it comes to us humans if you have read the comics of Alien Vs Predator and it's sequel issues some are even racist.
I love how the clan leader even gave her a Predator weapon. She was marked as a Hunter, and assisted in the death of the Queen, and was the soul survivor of the hunt. In their culture she was considered worthy to wield one of their basic weapons.
@@jonathancunningham8739 what are you waffling on about
The three teenage Yautja (Predator) are classified as unblooded since this was their first hunt. If they complete their hunts they become blooded and are accepted into their respective clans. As they move up the rankings they will eventually be allowed to hunt solo and of course if they live long enough lead a clan of their own after collecting numerous trophies. Killing a Xenomorph Queen is also another fast way for them to advance in the ranks.
Actually teenage Yautja's are known as Young Bloods but you are right about them going through trials to become full blooded Yautja
@@lucienhalf7105 All wrong, please let me enlighten you
:
Unblooded are those who don't have hunted yet,
Young Bloods are those who succed into their first hunt.
And Blooded are those like the one of Preda 1 that hunt solo cause he've advanced enough grades to prooved he can do it.
One of the three predators in this movie has humans skulls in his belt so it's not their first hunt in general (those skulls are not from the man outside because they descend into the temple immediately after they attack, so no time to clean skulls).
Strictly speaking they become blooded after killing their first xenomorph (and only after that they are allowed to use the shoulder cannon), but they may have killed other creatures.
And of course, in the audio commentary the director got that BACKWARDS, thinking that only the new hunters went after humans and the pros chased down bugs, which is why you'll notice some errors in this. And why none of them were supervised like they should have been. Because nobody checked the source material first
Neither species has a name outside of video games and comics. They've never been named in the movies, thankfully. Cus "Yautja" is a stupid name, and "xenomorph" was never a name. Just a generic term for any alien species. Obviously Gorman had zero knowledge of the species. He used the word "xenomorph" generically, and to show the viewer that he was an officer school graduate, rather than having worked his way up the ranks. Clueless comic writers mistakenly started using it as the name of the species, and it spread to video games, but it's BS, fortunately, and not canon.
Despite a mixed impression I have a soft spot guilty pleasure for Alien vs Predator. Its a cool novelty because crossover rarely happen, Frankenstein meets the Wolfman, King Kong vs Godzilla, Freddy vs Jason, Marvel and DC been doing cross overs in movies more recently.
they should do a monster battle royal, just for the fun of it... with aliens, predators, tremors, the thing etc just plain out ignore the whole plot thing, and make it something similar to ready player one...or like the end of cabin in the woods.
3rd best Aliens,2nd best Predator
yeah is been a long time coming for the movies at least even tho you see a xenomorph trophy among the others on display in the predator ship in Predator 2, in the games and comics it was almost routine for them to square off
Despite how bad and dumb this movie is, I have to say, that first time you see an Alien and a Predator in the same frame with each other ... it still gives me chills. Also, at least it's a bad movie that does absolutely no harm to the canon of either franchise. There's nothing worse than a film that's so bad it ruins other movies in its franchise, but this movie doesn't do that. So it's easier to just have fun with it and move on.
Not such a fan of AvP2 though. Felt like they borrowed too much from Resident Evil.
I really liked AvP because of Sanaa Lathan's character and her interaction with the Predator, it expanded on what we saw in Predator 2 and also the comics because in the comics there was a human female that was accepted into the Yatjua (Predator) and considered blooded after killing an alien. she even went on hunts with them too. I really would've liked to see the sequel expand on this, but unfortunately they chose not to.
Her name was Machiko Noguchi. Beautiful lady honestly.
I watch this movie at least once a year. Always love a strong female character. One of my favorite scenes is the long shot of Sanaa and The Predator running away from the bomb. So Cool!!!! ... PEACE.
im so glad they didnt ruin Machiko Noguchi story.
@@unrelatedcoma I mean, they kinda did. They basically harvested from it and made this sub par version.
And i'm sorry but Sanaa Lathan is thoroughly unconvincing as Lexx.
@@OpenMawProductions they wrote a cosmetically similar story that simply, in very broad terms, has the same beats - girl works with predator, fights aliens, gets an acid mark - thats like a screenwriter skimmed the Predator wiki about her and they made this movie, i can live with that
but i mean at least they didnt actually try to do the AvP:PREY book and completely hollywood it. Machiko Noguchi is safely locked away in two novels that are too esoteric for hollywood to find and ruin.
I do not know if many would notice it. The last remaining predator out of the 3 was so scared when it saw the Queen because they are still young. This may be their first hunt of Xenos to earn the shoulder cannon. Fighting a Queen in the first trial is way too much for a Unblooded or a young blood. But still, it managed to deal with it somehow.
A true warrior is not fearless, but conquers his fear.
Yeah man scar was a real badass wish he didn’t die
Fun Fact: Colin Salmon who plays Maxwell Stafford in this movie also played James Shade in Resident Evil (2002) and both characters die the same way, cut into hundreds of diamond shaped pieces :)
He also played Robinson in the world is not enough 007 (1999) that was a good movie with Pierce brosnan in it
Despite its flaws, AVP is a guilty pleasure of mine. Even though it lacks the suspense of Alien, the gore and brutality of Predator, or the stellar cast of either of those films, it's the perfect film to watch on those nights when you just want to hang put, munch some popcorn or pork rinds, and drink a few beers. Now, if only someone would find a way to work the Terminator into a three-way brawl with Aliens and Predators, that would be the ULTIMATE sci-fi/action/horror flick for adrenaline junkies everywhere.
Sounds weird and neither would work.
I’d love to see a Robocop vs Terminator Movie
The comics where waaaaay better .
@@teamvolkihar145 dude that would be epic
26:50 They absolutely were watching all of that to see how it played out. In their culture, you don't interfere in a hunt, especially when you've just seen two hunters earn their blooding. They're super freakin' social-Darwinist like that, they consider it a humiliating show of no confidence to jump in and help someone. It's equivalent to kill-stealing, and in a race that values ceremonial hunting prowess above all else that's a killing insult. That ship never stopped watching what was going on in that pyramid.
The 3 predators in this movie were young bloods (teenagers) going through a right of passage to earn their plasma casters (shoulder cannons) as a final sign of adult hood. If they passed they would become blooded (adults) in they're clan. The one who kills the queen becomes an elite ( higher status in the clan.
11:27
It takes place in 2004, 17 years after Predator and 118 years before Alien
You two are adorable. I love how he looks over at her when something is about to go down/ twists/ interesting parts. He clearly is sharing a passion with her and I love that. From one sci-fi buff to another, HOLD ON TO HER! #gemz
Thank you for the kind words. I will hold onto her dearly :)
@@YouMeTheMovies Smart man. :) But just never cease to jump scare the caca out of her every now and then to keep it interesting, lol.
Never understood all the hate for this film! I really enjoyed it and thought it was very well acted and directed!
Us too
Sanaa Lathan doesn’t get the final girl cred she deserves!
its nonsensical and diverges so far from the source material that it creates tons of plot holes. thats why.
It has cliche flat characters, a predictable story, no gore and almost no alien vs predator. But still I enjoyed the movie.
same but i think it's hated because of the fact that it was toned down to PG 13 when the alien/predator in general is known to be a R Rated franchise
I really like you all's approach to watching the movies. The banter, the discussions, change of camera angles, cool!!!
Glad you enjoy. :)
26:00 Sigourney Weaver will not be born for another 80 or 120 years in this movie.
The Predator with all those spikes on his face is an elder. They took it out of the film but they were going to point out that those 3 main Predators are teenagers.
Paul said that once a child Predator gets a certain number of skulls from armed and dangerous humans it movies up to hunt Aliens when it is a teenager, hunting Danny Glover or Arnold Schwarzenegger is a very dangers hunt but hunting an Alien is a lot more dangers. That is what the Predator culture is all about, "hunting and killing things that are hunting and trying to kill you back".
Lol "child Predator" where's Chris Hansen when you need him?
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 I see what you did there.
This takes place in 2004, alien is set in 2122 and she’s a adult .
6:43, Hunters Moon was also the name of a Predator prequel novel, taking place 100 years before the events of the movie.
Everybody talks about how the tunnel would be a fun slide, until you realize it's at a perfect 30 degree angle, and is 2,000 miles long. Pretty much it's a freezing near 2,000 mile straight drop, with a rocky bottom waiting for you.
Pro tip: when you watch AVP Requiem, MAX. OUT. YOUR. BRIGHTNESS. Or you won’t be able to see a damn thing that happens for most of it
It’s important to me that you (and as many people as possible) know this. The crew nicknamed the Predalien Chet when making AVP Requiem. Allegedly a reference to Bill Paxton’s character in Weird Science
Thankfully when we watched it, my monitor is pretty good for brightening. We could see it very well. While I was editing it however on my second monitor... it was so dark I couldn't see what was happening haha.
@@YouMeTheMovies aw damn, you already saw it. I wanted you guys to know it’s name was chet going into it 😆
@@jonmercano1138 well that’s cool to know now either way. 🤠
And the predator is nicknamed Wolf after Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction.
The reason is obviously because he does cleanup like the character in pulp fiction.
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 yes! 😃
The 2 Predators who gave trophies to the 2 humans who survived in Predator 2 and AVP were Predators who are much older, far more experienced and with higher status in their culture. The Predator in this movie AVP...was extremely older thats why he looked the way he did. As well with him still being alive to reach that age he likely has very high status in their culture.
The predators in this movie were basically rookies out on their first hunt, which is why they got destroyed so easily by a couple aliens.
That's something I never understood - you send rookies on their first hunt to fight (probably) the most dangerous creatures in the universe?
@@whitedeath9 Don't you hear or watch the part it explained in the movie? It's a ritual of manhood for the rookies predator to become the adult warriors if one or all of the three of them succeed the ritual mission....
It wasn't a couple, grid demolished two of them.
If the Predators had their guns they probably would have been able to take on the aliens much more effectively. But the stupid humans took them.
Personally I think the movie still fits in well enough.
I mean it isn't even clear if the engineers necessarily invented the black goo that was the base for Davids' Alien research project.
They used it as a weapon but it could very well be something that occured naturally on a planet we just haven't seen in the franchise so far.
Also in "Alien" when the expedition finds the remains of the wrecks' pilot they state that it was fossilized, meaning that ship has probably crashed a very long time ago, definitely long before the events of "Prometheus" and "Covenant". And yet aliens have been aboard that ship.
Add to that that the "Covenant" aliens are bigger and a a bit different looking than the ones from earlier movies.
So they are related but not the absolute same thing.
Maybe the Aliens from the AvP movies and the ones from the original Alien trilogy are the creatures natural form while the ones from "Prometheus" and "Covenant" have been tempered with first by the engineers and later on by David who quasi reverse-engineered the creatures.
With this premise each and every movie of all franchises involved, "Alien", "Predator", "AvP" and "Prometheus" fit together without getting in each others' way.
So the timeline would be:
1. Predator
2. Predator 2
3. Alien versus Predator
4. Alien versus Predator 2
5. Predators
6. The Predator
7. Prometheus
8. Alien Covenant
9. Alien
10. Aliens
11. Alien 3
12. Alien Resurrection
It works out just fine.
I have to review some details because now it doesn't add up that Engineers were transporting Alien eggs.
Unfortunately now it's official that the xenomorphs have been created by David, not the Engineers (and I hate that plot which makes the comic series invalid) and AVP is an alternative timeline
@@robertoprestigiacomo253 A mural of a fully-grown Xenomorph, resembling a Drone, can be seen on the wall of the Engineer Temple on LV-223, indicating that the Xenomorphs already exist by the time of Prometheus.
avp.fandom.com
@@snowliger someone said that was the Deacon queen in the mural. I'm not sure how accurate that is. Apparently, David's creation is officially referred to the protomorph, and the now defunct third film would explain the transition from protomorph to xenomorph. But now, Disney has decided on an Alien tv show.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 Alien TV show!! What?! This is something i would love but i am filled with dread at the thought of what changes will be made.
I loved the show Stargate, but its final spinoff had scenes where a couple was having sex in the kitchen or someplace in the first episode and that killed it for me. I thought it was no longer going to be a show about the science fiction fantasy story aspect anymore, but about relationship drama of who was pairing up with who, within this universe and that would take priority. sex and relationship drama: lowest common denominator
@@snowliger On the mural it was the Deacon.
It resembled to the Alien indeed but It's probably co-existed with the Engineers and much less dangerous.
David weaponized it and made the Protomorph Alien...
The way I see it, Predator 2 beat Ridley Scott to the punch. That one skull cemented the lore that predators were hunting xenomorphs long before Alien Covenant was even a twinkle in Ridley Scott's eye. So I have always refused to let Alien Covenant RETCON the origins of the Xenomorphs. But I'm kind if a nerd that way.
Are you somehow insinuating the Predators created the Alien?, nope , they are an indigenous species to the planet xenomorph prime, also known as G-435, Achilles 2.4, Hiveworld, Homeworld, or A6 454. Aliens don't have skulls either, they have exoskeletons.
10:24
They kept the queen imprisoned to spawn offspring for them to hunt
As an Alien fan, I think it fits in fine with the other prequels. The mutating goo from Prometheus rapidly spawns a 'super face-hugger' when gestated in Shaw, and it creates a new Xenomorph type when it chestbursts an Engineer. So who's to say the Yautja didn't come across the same substance (or even hunt Engineers in their heyday and take theirs), and use it on humans to create the common human-born Xenomorph and eventually some queens for their temples.
love that I'm kind of always watching 2 reactions at once. Mrs raw reaction and Mr's reaction by slightly glancing over every so often which tells its own story!!
After Aliens and Predator 2 came out, D.C. Comics released a series of comic books with the superheroes fighting against aliens and predators. About this time they released a video game where you had all three fighting in the same game, you could play as a Predator or Human. Then a series of books were published set in a universe where all three existed together. The first book sortof establishes the main human protagonist which the woman in this movie is based on.
I thought the Predator and the Alien series was done by Dark Horse. I've got one of the Predator comics and a Alien graphic novel back in '92.
Can't wait to see her reaction to the... "hospital" scene of AVP requiem. It promises to be... hilarous. And of course extremely unconfortable x)
26:48
They were actually just watching the whole show. Since it was a traditional rite of passage to the three youngbloods sent there, the Elder mustn't intervene unless absolutely necessary. Had the Queen killed both Lex and Scar and attempted to escape the island ,then the ship would have shot her down
I think there is a deleted scene on RUclips where the Predator scares Alexa and "laughs", she looks at him like "yeah, you are a very funny guy"
@Night Bot Not in the movie. Look in RUclips for AvP deleted scene and there is one where title days Predator humor
I watch this movie every christmas, it's become a christmas tradition at this point.
You should watch The Long Kiss Goodnight every Christmas lol, takes place at Christmas time. Written by Shane Black (wrote Lethal Weapon and was Hawkins in Predator 1987).
It's amazing how much more menacing and realistic Stan Winston's suits were than these. Plus Kevin Peter Hall played the creature perfectly.
I’m still trying to figure out how Mr. has headphones on with a cowboy hat? 🤔 🤠 🎧
Magic! ;)
@@YouMeTheMovies please get a bad hat like the one MacReady wears in The Thing, it's the coolest hat ever and vital when flying helicopters.
@@eddhardy1054 It could even say "Super" across the front.
@@douglascampbell9809 damn right!
Holes, I imagine.
This whole Alien vs Predator concept goes back to Predator 2 where it was thought to be a joke/easter egg. When they created the Predator ship for the final battle scene, they thought of a trophy room with different human and extraterrestrial trophy heads there. When someone at 21st Century Fox came up with the idea of placing an Alien prop head from Aliens there as the Alien franchise like the Predator one are both run by 21st Century Fox, so no copyright issues here. The fans of both franchises liked the idea/gag of Predators hunting Aliens and then a comic series appeard later based on this idea which gave birth to the movie franchise.
This adds to Aliens 1-4 and all predators. The one in the cape waslike a High Elder of this clan.
The gestation period of the alien is proportional to how much the actor gets paid. If you're not a main character, you basically wake up to a chestburster scene.
Huh, I never noticed how fast chestbursters were born and how quickly they grew into full sized Xenos before, it took way longer in the original movie for that to happen, Kane was unconscious for hours and then fully awake for a while before his chestburster came out, and then multiple hours for the Xeno to grow, here all that seems to happen in like 30 minutes 🤔
The producers and studio view these series as three different timelines
A: Predator-Predator 2- AVP - AVP 2 - Predators - The Predator - Alien 1 through 4
B: Prometheus - Covenant - Alien 1 through 4
C: Just the Predator films by themselves
Technically, before Ridley Scott decided to do another trilogy (prometheus, covenant, and the other one still in production) everything was connected and canon. There are comic series about it. After that trilogy everything got messed up.
Sure, if you produce enough incoherent nonsense just call it "timelines" or "universes"... problem solved.
As much as this movie is a guilty pleasure of mine, I was always sad that they didn’t follow the storyline of the novels or of the video games; both of which were set much closer to Ripley’s timeline than our modern one.
Also, one Xenomorph taking out two Yautja is some major power creep. In the books at least, a one v. one fight between the two was usually pretty one-sided... in favor of the Yautja.
I think one xenomorph would easily kill one predator, so no surprised we got such a powerful scene here
Up onto this point Bill Paxton had been killed by a Terminator, Xeno and Predator. Now Lance Henriksen joined Bill with that honor. The guy with the scared face was in Sons of Anarchy his name was chibs and he was also in Gladiator. He's a great character actor his name is actually Tommy Flanagan. Oh he was also in The Saint as a Russian Mobster. You can always recognize him by his facial scars.
The Predator at the end of the movie with the cape is an Elder Predator. Yeah. He's in charge. He gifted her a Predator bladed weapon because he saw the honorable warrior marks on her face that Scar Predator gave her.
Just like at the end of Predator 2 there was the Pirate Elder Predator gifting Harrigan (Danny Glover) the old pirate gun because he also proved himself an honorable warrior. ☠️ -OG
The "unarmed" guy got slashed because he pulled a weapon on the predators before falling down the ice shaft. This made him a threat in the eyes of the predator, and they're not ones for giving second chances.
this takes place before alien as that is in the future,
in this movie takes place in 2004
(and so does requiem)
Predator hierarchy goes like this: 1,Unblooded - children still in training that have never made a kill on they're own. 2, Youngbloods - teenagers that have made less significant kills (xenomorphs are the ultimate prey to predators) that must under go the ritual hunt in a pair of 3 to earn the right to carry a plasma caster (shoulder cannon the most powerful weapon in a predator's arsenal and the sign of adulthood). 3, Blooded - adult predator with at least one xenomorph kill (alien). 4, Elite -adult predator with at least one Xenomorph queen kill and now has the right to be chosen for a mate. Female predators choose their mates from the time they become blooded but males do not get to choose and only earn the right to be chosen at elite status and beyond. Hence the more trophies a male has the better chance he has to be chosen by a female. 5, Enforcer - an elite predator with at least 3 queen kills and 1 xenomorph hive cleansing alone. Enforcers have 3 jobs within the clan. 1 to investigate and clean up after a failed hunt if the self destruct bomb doesn't go off. 2 hunt down bad bloods (criminal predators that break the code.) The bio mask that all predators wear records everything. 3, to cleanse xenomorph hives to keep the population down and under predator control. 1 Elder enforcer is also chosen to be the next clan leader of the clan if the leader dies or retires. Wolf the predator in AVP 2 is an enforcer. 6, Clanleader - adult predator with at least 5 queen kills and 3 hive cleansing are allowed to either start they're own clan or challenge another clanleader for control of a current clan. 7, clan Elder - retired predators of at least elite status that no longer hunt ( too old or injured to hunt safely by themselves ) they now either teach the unblooded and youngbloods or progress predator technology. 8, council members - highly respected clanleaders that retired and were elected by current clanleaders to rule over the homeworld and keep the clans in check 13 total. 9, badbloods - criminal predators that have broken the code and are either marked for death or become outcasts depending on the severity of the crime. The 3 predators in the movie Predators are badbloods ( no honor) as is the giant predator in the last movie the predator. Many outcast predators have banded together to create they're own clans and fight the traditionalist predators. This why the bad bloods are using dna strands to upgrade themselves. The traditionalists only use the dna therapy to fix debilitating injuries from hunts or on non predator inductees into clans (very rare). If Lex was not on her home world she would have most likely been taken in by the clanleader as an honored member because of the mark given to her. As for Harigen and Dutch they are considered as high prize trophies only to be hunted by elites or higher. Hope this helps..🙇
4:30 Man that Helicopter got there quick and without any noise... ^^
Definitely I prefer being killed by a predator than being killed by an alien.
A Guilty Pleasure that I've always subtitled "My Pal The Predator" LOL
I don't know why this was a 'guilty pleasure', it's almost EXACTLY the first story arc of the Aliev vs Predator comics and the first novel, to the point where my friend and I were able to spot scenes from the book IN the movie
Enjoyed that reaction. The whole entire series was good to me. Nice work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it
I loved the little detail of the Leader Predator (Clan Leader/Master Hunter) gave the woman a Predator weapon as opposed to when Danny Glover got an old human weapon that was a Predator Trophy.
Danny killed a Predator, and as a Gift of Honor they gave him a trophy from a Predator.
In the culture of the Predator race a Bloodening is a right of passage. Marking themselves and gaining the honor of using more advanced weapons for a successful hunt. She killed a Xenomorph, and helped in the death of a Xenomorph Queen. So she got the prize of a Predator. She was given the weapon of a Predator which is part of the rite of passage. She was marked and killed a Queen so she can now use a Predator weapon.
You were mistaken when you said it's after "Alien: Resurrection" This takes place in 2004, 100 years after the prologue. The FULL chronology is as follows.
1 - Predator
2 - Predator 2
3 - Alien VS Predator
4 - Alien VS Predator: Requiem
5 - The Predator
6 - Predators
7 - Prometheus
8 - Alien: Covenant
9 - Alien
10 - Aliens
11 - Alien 3
12 - Alien: Resurrection
I meant it came out in theaters after Resurrection.
One good thing the AVP movies try to do is justify Ash in Alien. Up until the twist reveal that Ash has orders to bring back an alien sample, crew expendable, there's a pretense that the distress call from LV426 was a chance encounter. However, Ash's order implies that the Company (Weyland-Yutani) has some idea what the creature is and at the very least had their ships on alert for any signs of them, even before they investigate the signal. It's even written into their contracts that they must investigate if they encounter one.
There's still a lot of gaps to fill, and the obsession with the xenomorphs loses credibility when they're equally aware of the Yautja (predators), who actually have superior military technology. However, they did try to add to the mythos of the existing films rather than rewrite it.
The plot of Prometheus is just a rehash of AvP with the whole "old and ill Weyland leads an expedition to an ancient and remote structure where they find a frozen alien" stuff...
I felt attacked when she called Maze Runner a "kid's show." 🤨🤔🤣
Predators are sentient and intelligent, aliens are like insects operating on instinct. This is why a woman can beat aliens but it take a man to defeat the predator lol.
TECHNICALLY this takes place after Predator 1 & 2 and before the Alien movies.
yeah notice Danny GLover looking at the trophy room in the Predator ship and it includes an Alien skull hung on its cabinet!
I don't mind AvP. Mashing up 2 world's will always create some story conflicts. Don't put a lot of mind to it. The avp movies are entertaining and won't let that ruin the movies 😁. Take it for what it is, entertainment.
AvP has been around for well over a decade before the movie was made and was its own universe. This was, in fact, almost a direct remake of the first arc of the comics (or the first novel)
These predators were from a different clan from the jungle Predator from the first movie but they were not a different kind of species. And the predator at the ending was an elder predator, he’s just really old.
Everyone who watched and understood this movie, should read Terror Infinity arcs 1-3 at least(yes, very late in it does a landslide drop in quality. But those first few arcs are still amazing).
(It's a novel about a guy that gets dropped into the worlds of various movie franchises, and given certain objectives to achieve in order to get to leave, and so survive these worlds. It's literally like he's being dropped into one childhood nightmare after another. He's given amazing awards for surviving these escapades, but is also faced with absolutely horrific tragedies. It's a great story(for the most part), but not for the faint of heart).
How could the last predator not know he had been impregnated? Was he going to lie down and take a nap? Because usually while the facehugger is on its victims face, the victim is unconscious (so not standing up).
Personally I would have to say that the AVP series would have to exist in it's own universe for the simple fact that the two sets of films take place in two different timelines. AVP is set 100 years before the events of Prometheus/Covenant. Prometheus was supposed to set the stage for the beginning of the first Alien film with the Engineer's ships and having one crash, but I personally feel they botched it by not having it take place on the same planet as Alien. It ends up going in a totally different direction as far as I'm concerned.
AVP on the otherhand, I don't believe really answers a question of where did the Xenomorphs come from, but I thought it did present an interesting notion that maybe the Predator's created them as the ultimate prey.
There were things in Prometheus I liked, I thought the Engineer race was a little interesting, but in the end both Prometheus and Covenant just fell flat for my taste. Just stupidly predictable given how dumb everyone's decision making was, and the fact that they really didn't tred any new ground. For me the Prometheus and Covenant movies were just as bland as the concept of the alien creation presented within them. I'm not always a fan of remakes but I think those movies need a remake/re-imagining.
Not sure if you meant that the movie came out after Alien Resurrection or you were talking about the timeline. Timeline wise, this takes place over 150 years before the first Alien movie.
A Yautja will kill a Xenomorph before he kills a human... Infact most "Wolf-Yautjas" (the Predator in the First movie with Arnold) are actually training in preparation to hunt down Xenomorphs
He enjoying the movie with popcorn and seeing her reaction. and she well concentrated watching the movie. I saw that movie in the cinema and I really like it a lot 👏👏
The movie reaction i was waiting for! I remembered when i 1st saw this movie, im in LOVE with the Celtic Predator 10:45! I even asked my dad to buy the figurine but too bad it wasnt available in Singapore..he was strong n the coolest Predator. He even gave the Alien a gd fight but sadly he died. The late Mr Kevin Peter Hall was the BEST predator to me but i got to give credit to the new actor who played the Scar Predator. He did an incredible job! We all know when Mdm's cam were zooming in there's an interesting reaction coming up n Sir will be laughing aftwards😂 ur reaction in every vids was EVERYTH! THNK U for this upload Sir & Mdm!🙏
Mrs. Movies: "Did you see those reflexes?"
Ol' Jack Burton: "It's all in the reflexes."
AVP: guilty pleasure bad.
AVP Requiem: just plain bad.
Yup. The sequel is a bland teen romance wrapped in a mediocre shock horror gore fest monster flick.
But that scene in the maternity ward was... awakening.
predators have more armor in this because of the cold
Legend has it that if you listen very closely to the soundtrack, you can hear the exact moment that the Alien series lost its last shred of dignity.
I suspect it's when the Predator starts swinging the Alien around by its tail, but I can't confirm it for sure.
I love AVP (2004) more than Alien 3 & Alien Resurrection because of the backstory taking place in the modern times (i.e 2004) Also the cameo of Bishop
The best that I can say about this movie is that it's okay. When the Predators and Xenomorphs actually fight, it's pretty awesome. Everything else? Good God it's bad.
In the Aliens the people from Wayland-Yutani said that there was no record of the Xenomorphs ever existing, yet this movie takes place hundreds of years earlier, on Earth, and they've been bred on Earth since the days of the Ancient Incans.
In Predator 2 Gary Busey says that Predators are attracted to heat and conflict, yet the pyramid was built in Antarctica.
In Predator 1 & 2 it was established that Predators only hunt humans who are armed in order to consider them worthy prey. These Predators didn't seem to care if the humans were armed or not.
Absolutely everything that was established lore from the earlier Alien and Predator films was completely ignored. Would it REALLY have been too difficult to do a faithful adaptation of the novel "Alien vs Predator: Prey"? It's set in the distant future, on a distant terraformed planet, which has a very hot climate. The Predators send pods with Xenomorph eggs to the planet ahead of time allowing for a xenomorph infestation, which they later show up in order to hunt. Circumstances force a Predator to team up with a female human (who happens to be an expert in martial arts) in order to survive. DONE. No need to set it in modern times and mess with the lore of not one but TWO mythologies.
The tagline should've been 'whoever wins...we win anyway...'
The ending a freakin' Hybrid Predator/Alien
~Predalien 😂😂 OH HELL NO!
Requiem is dark so adjust your brightness before watching
This one throws lore out the window (actually all of them seem to) but we overlook it for the sake of fun.

I'm with Mrs Movies. It would've been so cool to have a silent film with just the aliens and predators. Is the dialogue we get really that much better than silence? I'd argue silence would be a massive improvement over some of the nonsense these twonks say.
This movie will always be a guilty pleasure of mine. People have a lot of complaints and to be honest most are valid but I love this movie so much. I grew up watching the Alien and Predator movies because of my dad. When this movie came out my dad took me to go see it (I was probably way too young) and its such a happy memory I still have so much fun watching it.
The predators were watching because it was a test for the 3 young ones to see if they could hunt. The last young predator is called Scar and the big boss predator standing by the ship is called Wolf.

and from the looks of it ,
the ROMULANS

the pyramid as well ,
WHAT THE HELL ? ! "
This one is awesome. It was also a homage to the first Predator vs Aliens graphic novel.
My personal opinion, I think Prometheus felt more like a reboot than a sequel/prequel. The timeline doesn't fit. Unless there is a time travel element I missed somewhere or they're saying the xenomorphs have multiple origins. Don't get me wrong; I love all of these movies and I hope they continue making them! But for me, Prometheus is a reboot.
Also, I believe the Predator in the cape with the spiny face was just... Old. One of the granddaddy/clan leaders.
I'm an alien fan more than a predator fan (but I am both) and I much prefer this to the prometheus timeline. The great thing about both franchises is how 'alien' and expansive the universe is. There is something vast and terrible out there in the dark that we are not ready to meet. So the David origin for the xenomorphs makes that go away. These aren't a taste of the timeless horrors of the universe, but essentially a story about a unscrupulous employee of a massive corporation dumping their waste on some previously untouched bit of nature. Its not that that storyline is necessarily bad, it just feels like a mean retcon that reduces the xenomorph to a shadow of itself.
You're an Alien fan and you say that? In the AvP films they show xenomorphs as stupid animals. Except for the first battle between the creatures, predators kill xenos like rats. I hate that
for those comic experts has there ever been a time when a Predator has ever (or if it’s even allowed) killed a queen alien solo?
What your watching is probably the last well done with a good story and quality, Aliens vs Predators movie. Because the rest after this one looks low budget and cheap with no story at all. I'm not saying it's the best movie, but i like this one just as much as Predators 1 and 2 with Schwarzenegger and Glover. And the Aliens sequels after the first two with Sigourney Weaver was hot garbage.
It was the studio's fault
As an Alien fan i enjoy this movie even though my favorite creature in this movie is dead😅.
I'd totally watch one alien and one predator going at each other for a whole movie. Or one predator vs several aliens, following the predator as the main character.
I like the Aliens better 'cause they're so cute when they're in their little egg-pod things. And when they hatch, I think "man, I'd love to have one of those 'huggers' as a pet" (in a little aquarium so it couldn't face rape me).
I f*cking love this channel
All the monsters are frozen in the ice! Aliens,The Thing,The Blob and Santa Claws! And we are melting the ice!
I really enjoy you guys..... And I love how your wife has grown to love this franchise
I FUCKING LOVE the BATTLE roar of the Yautja
As far as the time line in Alien goes. This story would have taken place in the past so Ripley would not have even been a thought in her grandmother eggs yet. LOL Fun fact, Star Wars and Blade Runner are all connected due to crossovers and Easter eggs. You guy should check that out, it's kind of interesting.
This movie and it's sequel (AvPR) are it's own thing and more of "What if" movies, they have nothing to do with the main Alien or Predator storyline.
been waiting for this!
the avp movies are so wonky but the concept and backstory/lore so damn cool. Especially in the Aliens vs Predator 3 video game from 2010. Super underrated game that would be super epic as a movie adaptation.
I've always loved the AVP Shooter games on PC.
@@YouMeTheMovies And I even loved the arcade version of them too!! On my MAME emulator!!
The first AvP was awesome. Especially paying multiplayer humans vs aliens was spooky as fuck. A shame the following games were slower pasted
Your Husband does really wellnot to to give you any spoilers, all the questions you ask :)
Also Paul W. Anderson Directed the *Resident Evil*
AvP isn't part of the official Alien canon but as far as timeline goes this takes place before most of the other movies, more or less "now". They didn't have space ships etc.yet. Predators (with Adrien Brody) is probably taking place at around the same time as The Predator and AvP. If I remember correctly the games Alien vs Predator and Alien vs Predator 2 both had Predaliens.
Actually,the time line is before the original Alien.This and it's sequel are how the Company discovered the Xenomorphs.
I really like this one, Paul killed it with making it his own while remaining faithful to the source material
I could have gone without the "ugly motherfucker" but it was still fun. The Practical and Digital work is impressive for it's time.
The biggest mistake however was the rating, it was like pg-13 when it should have been a Hard R.
I don't blame Paul for making this movie PG 13
I'll blame the studio
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 It seems like he had fun making it
His early work is some of his best
so predators gain rank through battle and trophy collection. I'd guess these 3 predators were young bloods (inexperienced adolescents type predators) trying to prove themselves by collecting alien trophies. I know that one of the key rituals is to collect alien warrior or higher rank trophies and then another 1 is to kill/collect an alien queen and the another rank is at 3 alien Queen kills and so on. the predators at the end are higher ranking members of that clan and the Cape dude with the spines would be a clan leader (veteran high rank and usually much older). they can also special in certain weapon types becoming brawlers or stalkers or hunters etc some predators are said to be hundreds of years old maybe even up 1k
ps alien's also have different type based off the type of creature they spawned and whether the queen gave a special chemical to make them into a specific alien... like alien drone (from low level creature), alien warrior (from higher level creature), praetorian (special hive defender alien), ravager (extremely dangerous strong big alien) and a few other types.
i dont think this movie says that the predator created the xenomorph, i think they just simply found them while hunting throughout the universe and use them as a proving ground for the young predators.
