I am so infuriated at the missed potential and opportunity for the AVP franchise!!!
We already had Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey to show us how successful this concept can be if delivered perfectly. And now they had an animated show in production that was cancelled. AN ANIMATED SERIES COME ON!!
It would have fit so well for the AvP aesthetic and action scenes. It would also give the opportunity to expand more of their lore. Shouldn’t that be the goal? Its what the animated Clone Wars and Star Wars:Visions is doing for the Star Wars Franchise!! Do they even want to make films anymore at this point??
I am just disappointed on and on at the current decisions that Disney is doing- Shelving and cancelling shows before they even see the light of day, not giving proper environment for their writers and CGI/VFX artists to be able to create and craft a well-written story.
They’re not making films for the audience or making films for Art’s sake anymore. Its all CAPITALISM now.
I just hope with every fire in my heart that the AVPverse gets out of Disney’s greedy hands and in the hands of a Studio that would LOVE and care for its universe, respect its characters-
Give us a unique Yautja that loves art! And is amused when he sees some paintings in Paris or hears an opera house on his first hunt on Earth!
Give us an animated episode of a Yautja on a hunt for Bad Bloods during Edo Period Japan!
Show us Yautja brothers in the beginning of their training and how they learn the values of an honorable hunter!
Take us to their homeworld, give us an aspiring Yautja matriarch who is eager to learn about their culture and their history with the Xenomorphs!
I just wish someone with the power and money would give so much love to this franchise because there is so much to tell and expand!
Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01 is a pretty fun short film. It's got some nice animation and cool action sequences that carry a simple story. I think it's hilarious how the antagonist, Lt. Kilgore, is beefing with a mech-suit because he lost to it in a simulation and not the creator or teen that gets stuck in it.
