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!

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.
Thanks man, this idea came to me when watching the beginning of the 2018 film. The slow built up to seeing The Predator is something that will fantastic where the tension builts and builts to extreme levels to scare the audience. I like the idea of the Predator creating conflict between ISIS and the US, which we see a village which disappears overnight due to a dishonorable Predator killing the residents and it’s cattle. It’s a fantastic idea.
I love the premise about a desert conflict with the Predator! Great idea!
My only thought, does it need to be in an established warzone? What if it creates the conflict. Have a slow build ups where it terrorises a local village, escalates the threat into a flashpoint, draws in fighters on an international scale then stalks and kills the best of them between the infighting.
Maybe something different. A less honourable predator that camps and snipes, use traps and poison, misdirection, Hostages etc?
Thumbs up!
Love the way you think, the idea is bring the Predator into an already war zone where they are just enjoy humanity kill each other for every reason possible but also dives into a downed ship in the ruins of a Ancient City which the Yaujta taught humans how to built. Which explains their influence on humanity. The desert and forest are ways to shoot the film.
Set in Afghanistan maybe.... at least we not considering shooting it in Afghanistan ;) Predators would be the least of their worries!
I think the Terrain of Afghanistan would suit the Predators, the Mountainous Rocky Formations to the open Desert and in the Heat of a Desert you can already get a Hazy Look/Mirage Effect and so spotting a Cloaked Predator in that would be HARD and those who see one would put it down to their mind playing tricks.
You would have to ASK..... WHY would it be set there?
Would the Predators see going into a Conflict/Warzone as a Ultimate Trophy Challenge?
Could a USA Base hold a Downed Predator Ship and maybe Predators, that was shot down over the area?
I think this would be ideal to use the Embassy Predator Aesthetic if we have the Predators Escape and have to make do with Salvaging Human Military Armour and Weapons to Escape.
A Predator Escaping a USA Base, with only Assault Riffles and Limited Ammo while being chased by Military would be interesting and a TOUGH task for the Predators and then if they run into Afghanistan Militants that would pose another Problem..
The Warzone is a HELL-HOLE a Dangerous Place with lots of IED's and Mines.... how would a Predator Detect them without there Mask/Vision Technology?
Its a Place that inquisitive Predators who then have their Ship downed, Seized along with Technology, would soon offer them the ULTIMATE Challenge to Survive as opposed to HUNT!
The Hunter becomes the Hunted!
Yeah I've been waiting for them to do a Predator/Alien movie in the future with Colonial Marines. With old school props like the motion trackers and rifles and miniatures like BR2049.
