Infamously, the persistent low lighting of Alien vs. This served to make the Predalien’s screen debut all the more of a letdown for several reasons. Put simply, the two monsters represented opposing ends of the “mindlessly destructive/scarily smart” and “unpredictable/meticulous” styles of villainy, like Freddy vs. Where the Predator was as smart as (if not even smarter than) its human enemies and could outplay, outwit, and outmaneuver them, the Xenomorph’s animalistic savagery meant there was no hope of reasoning, striking a bargain, or even communicating with the villain. Where the Predator was a hulking, well-armed killing machine, the Xenomorph’s power came from its speed and agility.

Predator and the villain's potential was obvious to fans of both franchises. The Predalien had been teased even before the release of Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, but the hybrid of the two titular villains was high on the list.

This was due to a broad range of factors from an unfocused story to inexcusably bad lighting, but perhaps the biggest issue with Alien vs. Predator: Requiem was a hard-R sci-fi horror that did not skimp on gruesome violence, but still proved even less popular with fans and critics than its predecessor. However, while that kid-friendly rating may have sanitized the first theatrical showdown between the two legendary titans of sci-fi horror, a later sequel proved that gore alone did not a good Alien vs.
