Good thing they're cute

I came across this commercial recently and thought it would be cool to share, I'd never seen it before. This was aired on TV to advertise the game Alien vs Predator Extinction

Myself and /u/dicksinsciencebooks have arranged a fan meet up! London, England, Brompton Cemetery, what three words location ///lies.pasta.healers

There are a ton of weird things that happen on this show. What are some of the weirdest moments you can think of? I'll go first: Spike having Warren make a Buffy bot in season five is by far the weirdest thing and it always gives me the ick.

It's a bit messy but until I figure out an alternative this will do! 😅

For Buffy, I would say Xander. While most people do give him his props for preventing the apocalypse in S6, there's a bit of a tendancy by some fans to dismiss him as useless most of the time in spite of him being instrumental in stopping multiple threats like the Master and the Judge as well as the amount of times he's successfully saved another character despite his disadvantages as non powered being. I suspect this is partly because he's not as well liked as other heroes in this fandom.

For Angel, I would say Gunn for similar reasons. Despite not being a powered being, he still risks his life to fight vampires and unlike most of the team in that series started from altruism rather than guilt over anything terrible he'd done. He also saved all of LA in the first episode of ATS S5 but no-one seems to talk about it. Unlike Xander, I don't think this is because fans dislike him but more because he's never really as prevalent as Angel, Cordelia or Wesley.

This is probably only the second time something like this has happened. Im not familiar with BBTS customer service or Boss Fight. They pretty helpfull?

I’m not a hardcore buff on the Predator or alien franchise so bear with me-

I really hope that with the success of Romulus and Badlands as well as Killer of Killers, that we get to see familiar faces teaming up.

Badlands Sequel

I’m really curious and hopeful firstly that Dek, Thia and Bud survive their encounter with Dek’s mother, and that we get to see - on the big screen at least outside of the hunting ground games and the anthology books- what a female Yautja would look like. And if Dek has to travel to a xenomorph infested world as part of another test or a quest to rescue Thia from the company or his mother, all the better.

That said, Genna was a brilliant concept as the most dangerous planet to humans and Yautja with the most extreme forms of alien life, so it will be hard to top that in the next installment unless the film decides to include aliens, or worse, have a xenomorph outbreak on Genna.

Killer of Killers and Lore Expansion

Killer of Killers established that Naru survived in her time period and was captured and literally put on ice, along with Dutch and Hannigan.

Additionally, Rain and Andy are out there in their ship trying to find Yvaga III after surviving Romulus and depending on what happens with the sequel, they could potentially end up crossing paths with the Yautja. Furthermore, there could be a team up with Rain and Naru, as well with Andy, Dutch and Hannigan and Ursa, Kenji and Torres.

A lot of wishful thinking here. It could be given Schwarzenegger’s and Danny Glover’s ages that they end up reprising their roles in the animated sequel to Killer of Killers.

Alien Earth?

And then a third series to potentially cross over with would be Alien Earth, with Wendy, her new pet xenomorphs and the lost boys/hybrid synths who have gone rogue. I’m curious to see how their story pans out and if the franchise will involve anything from their show or just keep it separate and solely an Alien only franchise.

Additionally, unless this has already been answered in the lore, I hope we get a deeper expansion into Yautja culture and the home world.

The fact that the Yautja, or at least the clan under the Grendel King have, across the course of human history, captured warriors of repute and skill who have killed predators and stored them is just a treasure trove of story ideas to be exploited.

There is a lot that I don’t fully know and what I hope the reboot series will explore- about why the jungle predator and the city hunter as well as the pyramid hunters and the Wolf, among many examples, have different armaments and looks.

Are they all from different clans and or subspecies or races? Do they answer to one major clan? Is the Grendel King the true sovereign ruler of Yautja Prime? How many clans exist, be it jungle, urban(?), and desert? Does the Grendel King order these hunts to find and add to his grim menagerie of killer of killers? What is the end goal beyond just being a collector of warriors to thaw out and play with in blood sports.

And more importantly, how will the future stories set up the conflict between the Yautja and the xenomorph XX-121. The Grendel King’s tail cloak and facehugger designed ship brings up many many questions and is a dead giveaway that the franchise easily wants to see Predators fighting aliens once again.

TL:DR
I’m very excited to see what is next for the Alien and Predator franchise and I hope we get a crossover that maybe the storylines of Dek and Thia, Naru, Ursa, Kenji and Torres, and possibly others in the future.

(Additionally, the fresh looking dinosaur skull on Kwei’s trophy wall implies the existence of a dinosaur infested planet.)

(And now that I’ve said infested, imagine what a xenomorph contaminated dinosaur planet would look like- Dek battling a Xenomorph T-Rex, anyone?)

I recently started watching for the first time ever so no spoilers please.
I’m almost done with season two and… why do the jump scares actually get me? Not sure how horrible props, costumes, and old ass effects from the 90s are getting me, but it makes me laugh every time (after I scream) I have to play on my phone while I watch because I genuinely get spooked. Idk maybe it’s my genz brain.
On S2 EP18 as I type this :D

Could anyone help me find a 3d file for Hellboy's Right Hand of Doom that can be printed in separate parts? I plan on using a large construction glove, sewing two fingers together and gluing the parts onto the glove so I can make it articulate.

Something I noticed about Buffy is that Oz and Riley are the only main cast members who were love interests and left the show in the middle of a season.

Oz leaves in Season 4's "Wild at Heart" while Riley leaves in Season 5's "Into the Woods"

I just find it interesting that Willow and Buffy's respective boyfriends had such similar exits from the show, especially since most other main cast departures happened toward the end of a season.

Am I the only one who thinks the Buffy fandom is pretty terrible when it comes to preservation and archiving?

There are barely any dedicated Buffy fansites left, and the Fandom wiki is missing tons of information. It's hard to find decent archives of promotional photos, photoshoots, original logos, merchandise, or even something as basic as a complete guide to all the DVD editions released over the years.

For example, almost every European country had its own DVD artwork and packaging. Some of the late 90s French releases had gorgeous cover art, yet there's practically nowhere online documenting any of it.

And that's just the official stuff. Think about all the rare promotional material, magazine scans, old website graphics, and fan-made resources that have disappeared over the years.

I also feel like things got worse after the Joss Whedon controversy, when a lot of fans seemed to distance themselves from the franchise and some longtime fansites shut down. I can't help wondering how much material was lost in the process.

For a show with a fanbase this big, a 30-year history, and so much visual material, you'd expect a much stronger preservation community. Instead, so much of its history is scattered across dead websites, broken links, and personal collections.

It's frustrating because once that stuff disappears, there's no guarantee anyone will ever recover it.

I highly doubt they'll eat the salad and side veggies... But would they even eat things with bread like the hamburger, hot dog and pizza? (Maybe an meat combo perhaps?) What about the cheese, can they even stand dairy products or soft drinks?

Hi everyone! I want to dress up as a vampire slayer for Halloween. I know where to find everything except for a stake. I need to find something affordable because I’m on a low budget, but I haven’t found anything cheap, and I also live in Europe so some stores either don’t ship here or shipping costs a lot.

If anyone has any links to an affordable stake prop or knows how I can safely make one at home, your help would be greatly appreciated.
