could've been better with a more phallic design.
You think the tail should've looked more like a dick than a spine? |

Yup. And preferably a return to Alien's 'modified uimbilical tube with great tensile strength'. And preferably with the tail closer to Necronom IV than anything else we've seen, e.g.:  I can dream... |

That umbilical tube is basically a large cock. I think I'll pass on that.

Empire hasn't let me down regarding this movie yet: If the prospect of a sequel to Alien vs. Predator wasn't terrifying enough, Fox have now revealed the star of the prestigiously titled, Oscar-baiting Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem... ladies and (mostly young) gentlemen, meet... the "Pred-Alien".
Wait a minute: the "Pred-Alien"? Is that what Hollywood screenwriters are paid six-figure sums to come up with? Surely they could have used their residual creativity to name their Alien-Predator hybrid a little more memorably? "What about the Alidator!" exclaims Empire's significantly less-than-six-figure salaried Online Editor, throwing his arms up in disbelief.
He's got a point, too. Then again, the Pred-Alien looks suspiciously like the man in a rubber suit that gets blasted out of the airlock at the end of the original Alien, doesn't he – so ingenuity may not have been a priority here. Frankly, the Ripley-alien monstrosity in Alien: Resurrection was waaaaaaay more scary. We're getting chills just thinking about that CGI abomination now. I generally don't care what they say beyond news, but they're on the ball with this film. EDIT: Maybe not that last paragraph, the Srauses wish their PredAlien looked sa good as Gigers Alien. |

It's disgusting and repuslive, it killed a Queen with a clean swipe. The thing is just damned creepy, even if I do hate it. The PredAlien now, that thing is just hah...sorry. The design of the thing, with the dreadlockes and ...ahahahahahahahaahaha! Sorry, I just can't help laughing at it anymore. |

That's exactly how I feel. The Newboen was an abomination, but it looked damned good. It looked real, it was freaky, etc. The Predalien looks like a piece of shit. I don't recall who compared it to a Guyver movie villain, but they hit the nail on the head. You could also compare it to something out of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.

And story wise, the Newborn didn't break any rules like this PredAlien garbage. We're getting chills just thinking about that CGI abomination now. Tweren't CG Empire people, but otherwise on the money. |

Your Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers comparison works as well as my Guyver movie comparison |

Necronom IV would be interesting to see, I wonder how big it would be. I've often thought about the skeleton in the tip of the umbilicus maybe something that is soon birthed and starts transforming into an adult biomechanoid as quick as the Smokebeast did from the skeletoid midget in Poltergeist 2 I like the fact that within the form of the back of the head of the necronom IV, there are remnants of an inverted "Space Jockey" that never quite took form. |

well, I've just read from Colin Strause's post that Steve Wang focused on the Predalien design. Guess what he designed for, Guyver:The Movie!

Predator (1987) (art department coordinator: creature effects unit) (concept artist: creature effects unit) I'm sure that's why he was hired, though. He has a few other popular and well-done (though not amazing) credits in his filmo, too. Though...to what extent he worked on these movies versus what he did for AVP-R, and what people he collaborated with, etc...that does factor in. He could be a talentless hack who was supported by a lot of brilliant team-members on Predator, and then headlined the crew for AVP-R, thus fucking it up. But this is purely speculation. |
