The Problem with them Aliens

[tp4tissue]

They grow too fast..




It would seem like if we humans were ever to defend against these things dropped on us by the Predators..


We'd need some sort of growth serum to produce humans of soldiering age faster.




The aliens get to full size within the matter of an hours..



What the hell is it eating.. Rocks?

See, this is why we need Terminators.

I think T1000 could definitely beat an Alien 1v1..


It would need the proper firmware and combat software tweaked for quick response time..


Probably some sort of algorithm to predict the tail swipe..


And of course a big gun wouldn't hurt..

Pretty much. They are designed for accelerated growth through the consumption of silicate, which is basically rocks/metal/sand.
They don't eat the people, just instinctively kill them.

What are they making the acid from..

That requires amino acids.. where are they getting that.

the article doesn't really say how their bodies produce it, but is suggested it is a finite supply their bodies produce that once depleted the alien runs out of energy and dies.

PLEASE tell me you're not into the whole AvP crossover thing, it's an abomination D: .

Have you even read the Dark Horse comics?

And I don't see how it's an abomination, the crossover makes absolute logical sense. The films aren't amazing, but the universe they built around AVP is.

I mean, the later Alien movies were borderline B-movies...  so...... I wouldn't say AvP is so terrible a spin on things..

I'd consider Alien–Alien: Resurrection canon, although the first two are head and shoulders the best ones. I like all four though. I really like both Predator and Predator 2. The crossover films

I don't read DC or Marvel or whoever :p . I really don't like the idea of the crossover though, it feels like a cheap retcon to me. The Alien series is set in the future, and is about dark, confined, completely isolated places in space, where the humans are the sci-fi guys. The Predator series happens in the present, on Earth, in large, open, sprawling locations, and the predator is the sci-fi guy. To me, the series are virtually orthogonal, even if they're both sci-fi action film series. The fact that they're so different is what set them apart from each other, and I LIKE the fact they're different. The crossover, to me, feels like it's overstaying its welcome. Moreover, they keep CHANGING the way the aliens and the predators work (furthering the retcon feeling), and that really pisses me off D: .

Predator 2 wasn't any good..

See, this is why we need Terminators.

yep.  job done.  first reply.

why would we wanna risk putting ourselves in harms way.   get bots to deal with that infestation.

or better yet... some nanotech that selectively nom on the aliens.    the faster the aliens plop n grow, the faster the nanites nom n multiply n nom n multiply n nom.

maybe some biotech involved, not as a means to breed more human soldier meat, but to immunise us against being used as incubators for em.  (or maybe just do that with nanotech too, idk).


is anyone working on an AvT?    i'd watch that.  ^_^

lets just hope the aliens dont manage to incubate in a t1000, or we're all screwed.

No ,, they could probably infest marines though..

Anyone remember this old internet gem? I'd still love to see at least a Batman VS Predator film, as the first comic series is stellar.

Batman's power is that he's got Hero-Cloak, so he's always somehow PREPARED for what's about to come..


But if that were gone.. Predators and any other alien are significantly more advanced technologically vs Wayne

Well Predators have an honor system and in the first comic Bruce uses that to his advantage to avoid getting killed, and in the end winning the Predator's respect. They do a good job of interlacing the brutality and honor throughout the story.

BvP II comic sucks right off the bat (punny?) because they remove many of the interesting things about Predator and just make him some rampaging beast with a grudge.
