My thoughts on new OWLF tapes (I now have them all)

But hey alien fan wanted their franchise separated because they hated to have the alien being used as a simple monster, wich he is, and fortunatly here you guys fantastic movie with Prometheus, Covenant

Covenant’s still better than the AvP movies no one wants to be tied to that shit but you. Literally just the worst parts of both franchises combined.
The comics weren’t coherent either because it was practically a different writer on every issue, some were completely stupid. Bitch about David but praise comics trying to write in nonsense like “Xenomorph Prime” and preds inviting everyone and their dog who kills something to their homeworld. And Concrete Jungle was never good.
Alien gets Isolation, anniversary anthologies, and a tv show while pred gets a woke direct-to-dvd movie. Both franchises novels are terrible except like 2 and Aliens FT is going to be overppriced trash so there’s that.

@Dentdesabre

a dumb prototype that no yautja use

A stick and a sharp sword > nanomachines.
It just makes the pred race look dumber than they already are. added to the pile of stuff and bodies they keep generously donating to the human race while also losing their tech is supposed to be the greatest dishonor ever or something they do it every medium.

Predator Killer Suit and The Predator tie ins are another case of “Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t.”

They have to reference it and the loose ends it brings while also doing their own thing. You know how hard it is to write your own story and fix another? And don’t gimme that shit like “Oh it’s easy bro just fix it, just do this and this” when it’s a lot more complicated than that or writing some cringe fan service fan fiction.

This is exactly what Alien: RPG and Aliens: Fireteam are doing, trying to fix the dumpster fire that is Covenant.

Aliens: Fireteam are doing, trying to fix the dumpster fire that is Covenant

by giving us more white aliens that are oh so different because they are white and have tentacles.

I don’t think anyone knows what the endgame is here.
Alien died with Giger now they have no idea what to do other than recycle Aliens.
Isolation gets a pass for being great though.

I see them like Super Preds, they’re a different view into all that is well, them.

I still think Engineers are gonna be the endgame + Boss type of enemy for Fireteam Elite.
