I've said it before,but Marvel has ruined cinema,before you cast stones at me i actually like the MCU for the most part.But thanks to them nothing is simple anymore.Every thing has to be a cinematic universe.Marvel,DC,Star Wars,Godzilla,The aforementioned ill fated Dark universe and Amazing Spider-Man'verse.Pacific Rim wants in on it,as did Ghostbusters as well as A Stephen King universe.We have the Conjuring universe,A Spider-Man universe with out Spider-Man started by Venom.
These are just off the top of my head,nothing is simple anymore.A movie can no longer stand on it's own two feet without being part of a bigger picture,and it seems Alien and most definitely Predator here aren't safe from it.
They're paying waaay to much attention to Disney Star Wars which went in to please fans by putting Han Luke and Leia back on the big screen.Funny imitation too considering that despite extreme positive critic reception,they have been just as divisive as the prequels.
Why Alien and predator need to go down this route is beyond me.As I said it worked for Blade Runner,and other sci fi series have seen great revivals such as Planet of the Apes and Mad Max.Apes and Max are great examples because they didn't depend on the past or favorite actors.Blade Runner 2049 while a sequel to the original didn't depend on Harrison Ford who doesn't show up till the final act anyway.All fine examples of accepting the past while embracing the future.
Newt is DEAD.... Hicks is DEAD, and Ripley is DEAD!
"They're DEAD. Can I go now?" -Newt
This is pretty cool.... but it looks far too much like some Xenomorph Hybrid (Face Hugger) than Predator... it seems they spent a lot of emphasis on connecting to ALIEN DNA which is a shame!
Posted this in the other thread... it applies here too.
As with the Ripley Ending... they both show those working on these projects have a LACK of Imagination and Ideas!
Newt is DEAD.... Hicks is DEAD, and Ripley is DEAD!
They should not even do any alternatives (Blomkamps Alien 5) yet alone Time Travel to connect Newt and Ripley to the Predator Franchise....
I think its maybe time to KILL-OFF both Franchises and keep them to alternative Canon, Comics, Games and Novels.... because you can get away with some ideas like this...
it seems to show when it comes to MOVIES all they are doing with each Release is DESTROYING the previous Movies Credibility.
For the Record i have not seen the Movie yet, but when TWO people i know love the Predator Franchise and even AVP movies and claim THIS movie has Ruined the Franchise.... i dont hold much hope!
I will watch it when it comes to Cable TV or when DVD is reduced to like $10 or less lol
I feel its the trying to connect to ALIEN that would do the Franchise Damage!
The Predator Franchise prior to this movie was in a Good Position, compared to the ALIEN Franchise.. they are NOW both in a Mess!
As with the Ripley Ending... they both show those working on these projects have a LACK of Imagination and Ideas!

I like the alternative, the one we got just looks like a WHAT-IF Tony Stark came across a Predator Suit!
@Leto yep, that fell apart quickly.
I can see a similar thing with amazing spiderman 2. The movie itself was bad, and the ending was just a set up for sinister six and a whole bunch of other movies that got canceled.
I am not shooting the messenger but this sounds beyond ridiculous.
Neither franchise pulled in expected results from FOX's pov. I am pretty sure Disney knows the definition of insanity as most of us do....
Everyone is now trying to do what Marvel is doing.
Exactly. Do you remember "Dark Universe" from Universal?
Oh god no.....
I almost would have settled for this ending over the one we got. Or the should have had different endings in theaters...that would have made at least the third act more redeemable. At this point with the Predator franchise they should embrace the shclock they've created.
My opinion is that Predator desperately wants to be part of Alien,Alien just won't have it.Alien has a stronger legacy than predator.Alien has stood on it's own for 40 years.Predator is a little over 30 and right away with Predator 2 the franchise showed a dependency on Alien.They even made Two Alien vs Predator films before they got around to making an actual third predator.
Predator now just seems desperate,looking a lot like Alien's obnoxious little brother,so desperately looking for the same love big bro gets yet continues to embarrass himself.
Alien still has a future.Not sure where predator goes from here,these alternate endings dig an already deep hole even deeper.Maybe a "Proper Predator 2" staring Schwarzenegger some years down the line?Why not,they're doing that with Terminator this year.
I really don't know what were they thinking. Prometheus removed AVP from alien canon. Looks like Shane Black is trying to connect Alien and Predator universes (I wouldn't mind it in the comic book format).
Everyone is now trying to do what Marvel is doing.
Ok so I haven't seen it here yet but it turns out ending 3 had Newt in one of these capsules...i shit you not.If Alien has run off the rails,then Predator ran right square into a brickwall.
Awesome!!! <3
ninXeno426 The Predator itself is a good film. just the ending was a bit of a "wtf, seriously" moment.....and looks like the alternate wasn't much better lol
I'm waiting for Big Dave...get your popcorn & drinks ready! ;)
Time traveling Ripley...
Time, mother, fucking, traveling Ripley.
Just when I thought the ending couldn't be any weirder.
I'm not surprised Arnold said no when he read the script. I'm guessing he was supposed to be in one of the alt. endings?
@Lone - pass the message to RS that he lost me when he killed off a certain character.
ignorantGuy Sounds possible. Somehow it looks a bit Aperture Science (Portal-ish).
I will only comment on the fact that they used the Aliens logo (not the winged stuff) ... Not to read into things but could this indicate that RS and his were cast aside?
Time travel in the first movie was weird- a guy from the future shagged a woman who turned out to be his mom-but we just rolled with it. That stuff doesn't seem to fly anymore. Time travel seems a weak way of forcing a narrative because it is "sci fi". I think we talked about time travel on the forum a year or two ago as well lol!
Nope. That would be a lame way to join franchises. Time travel is a lazy way of doing it too. The AVP franchise could be great, but as soon as AVPR was mentioned, all credibility disappeared. This idea sounds blasphemous to both franchises.
Geez! Poor old Ripley, as if battling Xenomorph's wasn't enough, make her take on the Yautja meat grinder too lol
What was ending number 3?
Royce, Dutch?
Better, but alas we got this instead
Yeah it does, like the Americans can think it’s the rebel fighters or ISIS and they think it’s us. Like the Predator make it worst battle than ever before
Misdirection sounds interesting. Misdirecting two sides to engage in a proxy battle and recruiting the winners.
