AvP Requiem: Even more spoilers

Uh.... yeah...
The image was original part of this article in USA Today. Reading the article, I love the idea that Hollywood is going back to traditional "practical" effects for movies like AvP and Ironman instead of CGI, but at the same time, I'm not exactly enthralled with what they came up with.

This was introduced in the AvP comic two parter "Duel" about 10 years ago at least. They actually got it pretty close.

Hollywood incest.
Is the predator alien supposed to be scary or badass? The issue I see here is that dreadlocks can't be scary and Skinny McBighead can't be badass.
Danjo Olivaw Lives
In the comics he was faster and smarter than the other aliens, so, he was both scary and badass.

Yeah, that looks pretty awful. Aliens that come out of human don't get hair, right?

Before this gets on a roll, I just want to make sure that anyone that thinks this idea is stupid, needs to direct their letters to Dark Horse Comics.

The idea is really solid, but that look is just terrible. It looks like they mated, or were the result of some Impossible Creatures: Aliens Vs Predator expansion pack. It should look like an Alien that is slightly different than the human version, instead this thing looks like it's half and half.

Chiggie be spot on yo.
That kind of hurt to type.
I think this is a shining example of something that worked fine in a comic book but just will not work on screen in a live action movie.

I'd have to see it in motion and context before I render judgment.

So can anyone tell me how this happened? Was there some sort of Romeo and Juliet backstory that resulted in this? Was is a more predictable "man plays god, then learns a terrible lesson about his own creation" sort of thing? Did a female predator get pregnant while carrying an alien embryo? Maybe a tragic rape in which the battered predator was unwilling to give up her baby, even though it served as a constant and painful reminder of that terrible day?
I can't think of a single scenario that would result in this that I could find to be remotely plausible. Even by alien vs. predator standards.

Go rent the first Aliens Vs. Predator movie for the answer...

Maybe it'll look better when its actually in the final film cut? You know how it is, you watch folks filming a scene or see one still and it looks terrible, but later when you watch the film it fits...
Wishful thinking?
Creature Designer #1: Hey Larry, you got some left over Predator mandibles? Throw em over here.
Creature Designer #2: Sure thing Joe. Here, I'll rip these right off this extra predator mask. Here you go.
Creature Designer #1: I'll just glue these on the alien face riiiiight here. Whaddaya think?
Creature Designer #2: Oh, thats just perfect. That's a Pred-alien if I ever saw one.
Creature Designer #1: Rip off those locks too. I'll just glue'em right on top.

Okay buddy, let's think this through.
You've got humans. And humans turn into Aliens. How does it happen? Is there any sexual intercourse involved? No.
Think about how the Aliens from the movies were made (well the first couple movies... the later ones were genetic engineering).
Now, think about how you might possibly make an Alien out of a Predator.
There's your answer.
Or you could watch AvP (the greatest movie ever).

This is not The Thing. Humans don't turn into Aliens, they merely host them.
Um... queen ---> eggs --> human host --> alien ?
Um... I see no answer here.
Aliens gain the attributes of their host.

Bingo. The common alien we've seen so far- the drone- is only common from OUR perspective. It's the result of a facehugger + Human genetic mating. A facehugger + predator genetic mating results in a predalien, and in alien3, a facehugger + dog genetic mating results in the dogalien.
Facehugger+bear = bearalien, facehugger+jedi= jedialien.

Now I'm Scared...It got horns!!! Forget the retractible teethed-tongue , the whipping tail, the acid blood or the bone exoskeleton, horns are what make any creature really really scary

Um but in the original AvP comic book series the aliens are 'planted' on planets so they'll use hosts native to that planet and they still look like the regular aliens. Also you're going to have to revise the original movie since that queen was made from some unknown alien.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
Do they have lightsabers for teeth?
