And where would Alien be without the Predator franchise?
Thanks to the comics and movies Alien and Predator are forever linked in the minds of fans and the general population.
What if the two franchises were not linked though? Do you think either one would be as popular or successful as they are today?
Personally I do not think so. Because of the history and crossover of both franchises, there tends to be a lot of fan crossover too. If someone is an Alien fan then they are very likely to be a fan of Predator too and vice versa. This is really good for both franchises.
Look at everything from video games, toys, and comics. The Dark Horse comics were responsible for the properties becoming linked.
Also because of Aliens and Predator crossing over, both franchises got a lot of development that might not have happened if they were separate. Most of what we know of the Predator culture and life comes from the AVP novels and comics for instance. We get to see things from their perspective.
Would this forum exist if the two franchises had not crossed over? Would you all be diehard fans if there was no crossover?
