Possibly the greatest action movie ever.

Yes, we all know Alien vs. Predator is awesome and it has been for years, and this amazing movie (and it's sequel) got me thinking a little last night of how to expand on this series to even greater heights. X-men vs Predator! Oh god can you even imagine how awesome that would be? Wolverine vs. 1 maybe even 2 predators, cyclops taking on a random assortment of predators, colossus making 12-15 predators his bitch. While of course lesser know characters are wasted to the predator's awesomeness; such as rogue (whimy version from the movie), iceman who would be easliy be distracted by one predator while another one aces him and of course jubilee which the predators really would just chuckle at how useless she is and let a baby predator kill her. Here are some actual predator thoughts on the matter "random assortment of clicks" (traslated: into really this guy can turn into metal and all this chick can do is shoot fireworks at me? At best all this does is throw off my heat sensors).

Any obiviously many more battles such Gambit finally being brought in, maybe Morph (who would obivously try to turn into a predator and be killed), possibly even some enemies of the X-men brought into play to mix things up a bit. You know making them join sides to fight a common more advanced fighting machine. Magneto, Juggernaut was that all that was left from the last movie on the brotherhood side? I guess it was.

As for plot line... let's face it this doesn't need a plot line. This would just be 3 straight hours of awesome, or hell even 12 hours. We could totally run this into like 4-5 sequels there are a lot of X-men in the marvel universe and as far as I'm concerned (right now) there is a whole race or predators willing to fight the X-men. However since most people other than x-men fans / predator fans will want something of a plot line I could piece something together real quickly to make it work. First off it has got to involve Mojo who would be the only type of person who would be able to engineer something to this magnitude, pitting the X-men and Predators against each other. This would also require a new character to be added to the movie series other than the characters listed above which would be Longshot who is basically the hero of basically all of Mojo's tv shows.

So that is the basic plot line, piece together some awesome fight sequences in the oddest of places, which would really help maybe some 2 on 1 things, 1 on 1, 2 on 2 shit like that to keep it from being a 1 on 1 fight piecing together different characters, just changing the characters all the time.

Basically it would be a death match with the predators obiviously wanting to kill the x-men when placed in a situation when the opponent in armed, for the hunt and to protect itself. Until they realize that Mojo is just putting them into this situation for ratings and to keep people watching. Eventually they find away out and defeat Mojo. This whole sequence them getting captured, fighting (numerous battles, or maybe all at once intertwined together) and escaping could easily be 2 whole movies, with a cliff hanger from 1-2.

Of course at the end the X-men and the Predators basically stand face to face, professor X with his telepathy is able to speak with the predators and they come to an agreement that it is over. The X-men get away and back home with the help of Longshot and make it back to earth. However what the X-men don't know that on the way out the predators see their fallen comrades as well as the final score before they escaped. Seeing that the predators lost, or were losing depending on how you look at it. The predators vow revenge upon the mutants. This will lead us into the third movie which will either be the end all of the series of awesomeness or... will end with another cliffhanger.

Either way it will be awesome and probably the best series of movies ever made with a vs. in the middle of it.

at BEST throw off his heat sensors? as a matter of fact, Kevin, i think that's the best use of her abilities she could ever hope for. quite possibly, her quote unquote superpower was actually custom made to fight the predator. maybe she needed to get laughed at just so she could prove herself by throwing off his heat seekers later. i mean...other than that, she could probably help with zombies, right?
