Wow...I forgot a part of The Predator 2018, that somehow Stargazer had an image of Diablo from the original film...

AN IMAGE THAT SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST.

AND OH MY FUCKING GOD!

I never thought more deeply about the image with Ghost in this. Because I think I did wonder, "Maybe someone did get a lucky picture of him." But even then, this shot doesn't make sense because if I'm correct, this is again, a picture of a scene they are using that seems impossible.

But what I just found out is that IT SAYS 1990! Predator 2 took place in 1997...

FUCKING WOW.

Thank you, The Predator 2018, for making me like AVP Requiem more or something. Even though I think it's best to see the first two AVP films as "Elseworld" stories. At least they didn't do shit like this from what I know. And excuse me, I'm watching Filmcomicsexplained video on this film.

You know, I just wanna say this now. I actually don't mind Predators. Granted, I really liked it as a kid. And my opinion on it changed when talking with a fan.

But in all seriousness, I think it's a fine film. I just kind of don't care for it in a way. Yet it's more so that I'm...kind of annoyed when concerning behind the scenes stuff. I just didn't like the idea of the film totally ignoring Predator 2. A film Robert Rodreguiz did not like. And I'm just not a fan of the "Super Predators" idea because it's just a stupid concept to me.

And well, I disliked the idea of the "Super Predators" essentially being compared to wolves and the regular Predators/Yautja are dogs...again, I'm not keen on the "Super Predators" idea. Or honestly, I want to rewatch the film.

Really, Berserker, Falconer and Tracker could've been just some regular Bad Bloods instead. And kind of a nitpick. While I think I get the intention. They really just didn't need to Crucified Predator look almost EXACTLY like Diablo. They really could've made something that was just a homage to the original, but not a full-on recreation. Because at first as a kid, I legit thought that was THE OG PREDATOR. Despite it wouldn't make any sense to bring that character back.

Anyway, I actually think it's rather cool that Predator Hunting Grounds gave some lore about Isabelle returning to Earth and all that. That's actually neat, I was listening to some of the tapes and found that cool. Also, I strangely appreciate that in those tapes, they kind of acknowledge the 2018 Predator film was crap.

I'm going to be honest; I don't mind the idea of an Alien show. The one that's being made by Noah Hawley. I heard he's made some good shows. And some of the stuff he says, I get what he's saying. As long as the show is good, maybe I'll give it a chance to watch it.

But the idea that REALLY bothers me is SETTING IT BEFORE ALIEN.

Can we just stop with the prequels and create something Aliens? Please. At least then, it would make sense. Especially with Ridely Scott's films and those AVP films. While I have my own opinions about them. It's just easier to me if you set the show are 2179 or something. I'm just sick of the prequel crap.

Like, if Noah is dead set on setting it on Earth. Again, have it take place after Aliens because those Earth War comics and other stuff just...I don't want another AVP Requiem again. Because setting a Xenomorph on Earth is a big ass deal. And setting on Earth before Alien is pretty much giving the earlier movies the middle finger.

Also, to the people who bitch about what they want for the Alien franchise. Whether that's more in line with Ridley Scott's Alien or James Cameron's Aliens. Why not just put both into one and balance the two. Look into H.R. Giger's Necronomicon, take some ideas and combine them with Cameron's additions to the franchise. I'm kind of sick of people bitching about this shit.

I just want to post this. In a nutshell, an Alien show is a cool idea if it's well made. I don't like the idea of it before Alien. I'd rather have it after Aliens. I swear to God. I feel like I need to rewatch Alien 3 one of these days because learning more about Neil's idea for his proposed film. While I wanted his film to happen. There are details that sound weird but fuck it.

Inspired by @hawkofkrypton and I wanted to remake a certain favorite characters list I made long ago. I'll admit, this was tricky or hard decided what characters should be on this list. To all my followers or whoever sees this. You have the right to judge me.

And a heads up, Dachande and Wolf were supposed to be in this too. But I decided and felt like with Diablo the jungle hunter pretty much being the OG template for al Predators/Yautja. He is likely the best. Sad, I put Jason at the end tough.

Edit update I had thought about putting other characters. Maybe ones from the Snyderverse, Gears of War, and whatever. But maybe next time if I remake this with some extra characters like 30.

I just watched "Hell's Belles". What a sweet short. And even watched the new trailer for the upcoming Helluva Boss episodes. It's nice to have official release dates for them.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

So, saw the original Alien in theaters

Even though I have seen the film before. But seeing it on the big screen with my grandparents. And seeing it on Alien Day as well. I have said before years ago that this is maybe my favorite horror film of all time.

But even before seeing it again and thinking about it. The original Alien is likely one of my all-time favorite films. Right next to the original Predator of course, and Aliens too.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

Looky me, my little Tumblr post is to first to be mentioned when looking up the wallpapers. Mainly because I decided to share the ones seen on AVP Galaxy.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

So, happy Alien Day everyone

And here's the possibly one of or the greatest movie trailer ever made for a classic film.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

Somehow and learning on Discord...that Velma season 2 did something genuinely good but it's still a shitty show.

Like, a character appeared and my God...

I wonder how the Avocado Scooby-Doo universe will be like now because God damn.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

I genuinely wised Neil Blomkamp's Alien film happened. I don't care what people say. That is a film that should've happened.

This also means my preferred Alien trilogy is still Alien, Alien Isolation and Aliens. Unless Neil's film was or is ever made. I will gladly change that trilogy to make it a quadrilogy.

I'm still excited for Alien Romulus though.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

To be honest, I don't hate the AVP films honestly. I don't seem to hate them in the same way as I look at the 1998 Godzilla remake. And I again, question of doing this thing because I'm now thinking combining both films into one. Because I legit feel like combing both elements and using things from them is the best way to go...

And I just want to say that despite some little stuff that could just be explained away with theories. These are technically a trilogy and I feel like I don't need an AVP3. Because AVP 2010 is secretly AVP3 when you take into account the audio diaries.

I'm going to be honest and just say it. The day or whenever I rewatch AVP and AVP Requiem. I want to make two separate posts of what I would've done differently with those films.

More so that first film. While using the same characters and a similar setting. AVP Requiem is going to be difficult. But it's something I want to write because I possibly think about the changes I think about. The franchise could be in a different place or...those AVP films could've been different and better. Because I grew up with these films and wanted to imagine what things could've changed.

Basically, it's me going all Filmento with something similar like this video of his. And I say this as someone who likes Batman V Superman and what Zack was trying to do with the film.

So…I set up the Xbox 360. And despite at first screaming a small "No" a few times because I worried I needed the color plugs. Turns out, I just didn't plug in the system more and it genuinely worked. I was able to connect the internet, and the system works fine. There is the annoyuance of having to take out the HD plug for my PS5 and use the Xbox cord for it. But honestly, when I think about it. I'll be fine with changing systems.

Granted, when trying to sign up or create a profile and I was trying to play the first Halo…I need a storage device (Which said that's how I'll be able to sign in or well, use the Xbox Live thing and maybe that possible update) or a USB storage device to create a profile to even play the game…now that's annoying.

Edit update I feel like a fuckin dumbass when I didn't realize I still had the HD plug in for Xbox 360 in and not the PS5.

So...the system finally came. Okay, there's one game left. But on Thursday, I got the Halo origins collection, Friday it was Gears of War 1 & 2 with that extra content, and Saturday was the Bioshock Ultimate Rapture Edition. Nothing came on Sunday. But today the Xbox 360 finally showed up. And it was just released from the box as my mom took it out.

I haven't set it up yet. I'll do that maybe tomorrow or whenever. I don't want to rush into it along with other things I kind of have going on. But I'm glad it's here now.

And yes, those games have been piling up on the right side of my desk.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

Update, so, I finally put up the Transformers collection. I have wondered if I want it up. Yet I still like the franchise, more so G1, Beast Wars and the movies. But it's the Rampage stuff I feel like I'll keep in storage because it isn't really a collection.

I wanted to wait till I put some of my collectibles up or nearly all of them but I decided not to. The last four pictures I just took. Today, I decided to start moving into my new room and well, things went amazingly. More so because when I went out to get my haircut, my brother had arrived here and helped my mom get the mattress, nearly the bed, and the shelves already in the room. I said he swooped in like a superhero or a superhero to the rescue. But yeah, and the biggest pain in the ass was trying to get the PS5 HD cord into that TV.

[geekgemsspooksandtoons]

Finally, here's the last game. Now I have to wonder what way to sort these Xbox 360 games. I have thought I'll maybe stack them at first before I give them a proper thing to put them in.

So...the system finally came. Okay, there's one game left.

I question if I want to go through with this. Maybe after I watch that first movie because it's been years.

I'm going to be honest and just say it. The day or whenever I rewatch AVP and AVP Requiem. I want to make two separate posts of what I would've done differently with those films.

More so that first film. While using the same characters and a similar setting. AVP Requiem is going to be difficult.
