Alien "Plot Problem"?

Again, this assumes that the *only* usage for aliens is for predator sport.
There's nothing to support this.

I see no point here. What do you mean?

I still question whether there's any need *at all* to connect the two?

There isn't.

Well . . . except to pry money out of wallets, that is.

Have a great day!

There would be a need to do -such things- as tying AvP to Alien if one likes to
theorize about the Alien universe - which is just about every person in this
group. Now, not all would choose this particular theory - but the whole alien
lifecycle/bishop droid or human are the same kind of theories.

Sure. I see AvP as a Predator film which happened to pinch some ideas
(badly, for the most part) from Alien and its sequels. I don't see AvP as
anything to do with Alien.

Each to their own, though.

....in this manhood test. That's all it suggests. Alien might be domesticated
pets for Predators, but when born from humans (and other species) they become
killer machines. Who knows?

There is nothing that support your assumption either.

There wasn't any point. The Predators "activate" the pyramid for the manhood
test, which is embedded hundreds of feet below the ice in antartica. Wayland
Yutani sees this in satellite scans (i.e. heat emerging from the ice or
something). They go there and arrive mere hours before the Predators do, just
in time for some to be impregnated by alien eggs in a sacrificial chamber.

Whoa, hold on. I didn't see this movie, but I've seen the first two.
It's canon from 1 and 2
that the Preds do not like cold weather - in fact, they only come to earth
to hunt during the extremest
of the extreme of a heat wave, and even _then_ need to wear protective
suits. How/why would/could they
build something in Antartica?

There was no real *need* to do so....

It was kinda a good idea slotted into Predator (The alien *skull* inside the
ship).
Apparently thats where the whole idea came from... A one-off *in* joke.

Not a *bad* idea. But it's what is being done with it that is screwing it.
(Although, if AvP was the goreferst it *should* have been, I wonder if we'd
even be having this kind of conversation !??)

Amazing the things they think we won't notice, huh?

(Unless it's *like the goddam tropics* inside the pyramid.)

Oh, I was under the impression that you hadn't even seen the film. My
bad.

I suppose they wouldn't. But hey, inconsistencies hasn't stopped people before.

Yeah, it's a conspiracy, for sure.

Irrelevant, the final fight takes place on the snow, as does the first.
