Damn you know. Thinking about it. If Alexa had joined the Predators. Only to then comeback in the sequel. She could've been a real badass. She already has the experience of killing a xenomorph and working together with a Predator. It would've made for a more epic sequel if they had decided to do that.

[@CabezasDePescado]

No, friendly predators is a terrible idea

Et Cogito Ergo Sum not really friendly they would have already known that she was able to hold her own and considered one of them

[@theoneandonlymsg991]

@@CabezasDePescado certainly not friendly thats for sure. But the fact that the Predators acknowledged her at the end would at least give her a chance to work as one in such a society.

[@worsel555]

I remember reading the book of this back in like 1995 or 96? It's been a while. At the end the main character, Machiko Noguchi, actually did go with the Predators when they showed up a couple years later looking for their lost hunting party. She had even learned the basics of their language which impressed them on top of her hunters mark. Such a shame the original script got butchered into this movie after such a long development hell.

[@covertfarts1947]

Should watch Alien and Predator separate movies to get the individual feel for the movies. Then its cool to watch this

[@TamTroll]

Covert Farts yeah i have. enjoyed all the predator movies, but alien 3 and Alien resurrection were kinda bad. kinda iffy about Prometheus, and haven't seen covenant. problem with those latter two is that i like the idea that Xenomorphs don't exist because of human involvement, and are either a natural species the Engineers weaponized, or an artificial species the Engineers designed as weapons, with no Human involvement in sight.

[@soraceant]

@@TamTroll I didn't know it was implied that humans made them in the earlier films. I always thought they were just mysterious killer aliens

[@TamTroll]

yeah, i think that's the idea for alien 1 through resurrection. Covinent however gives off the vibe that humans looking for the engineers, finding the black goo, having a human woman get pregnant with a giant facehugger that impregnates an engineer that chestbursts into the Decon, it KIND of gives off the impression that that was the "first" xenomorph. Though there was the scene earlier in the film where Engineers are seen running for their lives in a cave, possibly running from Xenomorphs. And then in Alien Covinent, Neomorphs are made by a human-built android, which could possibly be interpreted as him building the xenomorph species. Honestly i don't know. i just want Xenomorphs to have a completely 100% not-human related origin.

Great vid, as always. Glad you explained differences between Weyland, his son, bishop, bishop 2, and Weyland-Yutani Corp as it can be confusing in AVP.

[@andrewforte3852]

Sanaa Lathan's character was the best part about AVP, it's rare to see a beautiful, intelligent, confident, driven, independent, empowered black woman take charge on the screen, much less one who is the central protagonist/heroine of the whole movie, which by the way as far as box-office was the most lucrative of both franchises combined.

[@theeachuisge]

Yes. But somehow, people got brainwashed and intoxicated and began to think this is actually a terrible idea or even a bad kind of propaganda, so that they boycotted the movie Prey (which is a fantastic movie) 🤣

[@clydefrog203]

​@theeachuisge because its become Hollywoods staus quo to reboot popular franchises with female main characters while injecting their values/politics. Prey was good but ppl saw a 90lb girl smashing the Comanche patriarchy nd passed on it. And u cant blame them cuz theyve done it with Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Terminator, LOTR, Indiana Jones, etc and are just sick of it

I know I’m a year late but when the alien queen pierced Scar with her tail, it could have killed the alien inside, leading to them not seeing it. Another theory is that the embryo was too small to notice.

Doing what you do in a shorter format to other channels, but with just as much (if not more) information, is pretty awesome. I have a short attention span lol

I feel like Alexa and Scar were the only characters whose stories needed developing. I think the whole movie points out that even though this alien species hunts humans, it also has a rich history of shared ideologies and unity with humanity. So it's only natural that they end up being the only two we should care about since they're showing the relationship between this alien species and humans can still exist thousands of years later.

I always assumed that the Queen got crushed by the water pressure, oh well. Since the Prometheus universe is now a thing, the AVP is no longer part of the canon, right? i mean, Covenant states that it was David who created the original Xenos (from the Mala'kak's original bioweapon), so them being on Earth is non canon, but at least elements like Bishop are, im confused.

[@twstf8905]

In Erich Von Daniken's landmark book, "Chariots of the Gods," his ideas and concepts are always offered in the form of a question, rather than a claim, or a bald assertion. He postulates his "Ancient Alien" hypotheses by making statements about what we know from archaeology, paleontology and all the other sciences relating to the context and building a model by asking the reader, "what if?" as opposed to illustrating the possible connections as a matter of, "fact." I realize it's a fairly superficial distinction, of course, but it does put him in a much more intellectually honest position than most of the others offering explanations alternative to "mainstream" scholars. It's a subtlety that, for me, disqualifies his hypotheses from being dismissed as merely, "psuedo science." (Unlike actual psuedo scientists like Graham Hancock and others, largely responsible for a significant amount of "re-education" going on in our armchair scholar society today, in which anyone with even a passing recognition of the subject matter is seemingly prepared to throw out the bulk of the established science in favor of their own pet "theories.)

[@deadeye4520]

There's nothing to explain. Some writers got caught up in the same debate I had with my friends back in the 80s: who would win in a fight, the alien or the predator? Those writers decided to make a movie out of that question, pitting two franchise villains against each other. You know, we also argued about Terminator fighting the predator and the alien as well. Maybe that's the next chapter of this saga.
