Smart Money’s on Alf in Round 8
I went into AvP with low expectations. There was the PG-13 factor. The horrible tag line factor. The director who didn’t really do much with Resident Evil. And there were the first couple of trailers they released with the, “You ugly….son of a….” thing going on.
I’m an Alien series fanboy so this movie was on my list of highly anticipated movies when it was announced. That’s why I didn’t let any of that stuff get me down. I knew from the time it was greenlighted that I would see it on opening day no matter what.
I won’t say I was disappointed by the movie. I think they did some really good things with it. There were some stupid things, but I think that’s to be expected from Hollywood nowadays.
**Spoilers lie ahead in the following rant**
My major gripe, and this is going to sound really stupid because it’s the complaint I hear from lots of dumb people, is that a versus movie should have some sort of outcome. I didn’t see Freddy vs. Jason, but I heard that ended in a tie somehow. I always thought it was stupid to hear people complaining about that, but this is now the second offense. It’s a total cop out. Have some balls about pissing off half of your audience instead of finding some wimpy way to appease everyone. I would’ve preferred to have the predators come out on top even though I was rooting for the Aliens than to have it end in a tie. That’s kinda the point in seeing two forces duke it out. You want to know who would win.

But we all know who would win in today’s battle royale. Alf goes hard in the paint, fool.

I haven’t seen Alien vs. Predator like PJ has, but I hear it’s not a total sham, despite critics going at the film as if it anally assaulted them.
The original idea for this strip was to be an even larger battle royale. Get this: “Alien vs. Predator vs. Alf vs. E.T. vs. Marvin the Martian vs. Those Aliens from ‘Signs’ that Were Afraid of Water vs. an Illegal Alien Named Pedro.” Sadly, our time and budget constraints kept this glorious vision from these pages. Maybe we’ll hit it up in a sequel. I wanted E.T. to be jacking those “Signs” aliens up with a glass of water.
