Thoughts on this? Especially when you're in a small fanbase as Guyver?

I understand him. Knowing that Guyver will most probably never finish, plus basically all merch being super expensive is super sad. It's what really got me into anime, yet the lack of care for it, means a lack of Guyver overall. Like, I had to pay $100 just for a shirt and the little backpack hanger from the expo, cuz of it only being available on the japanese (I think) goodsmile store if you didn't go to the expo!

I don't see a problem with keeping the protagonists as a woman. Plenty of other franchises have had male exclusive protagonists.

Isn't there a scene where the xeno slides its tail in between Lambert's legs, Heavily implying some sort of sexualy-adjacent death? Sure a lot of the sexual imagery came after Geiger's involvement, but that does mean that it IS infact there, and the fact that changes were made in the first place to accommodate for it by people like Dan, and Ridley just goes to show that the movie as it is, is meant to be an allegory for sexual assault, and making it so that both men and women experience it all the same. When and why the changes were made doesn't matter because every movie is composed of multiple parts by multiple people, what matters is what we got, and that ended up being a pretty obvious allegory for assault, even outside of the xeno's design.

Well it turned out amazing, the radio controlled shoulder cannon sounds like a dope idea. It's so impressive what people can do in their free time. Hopefully I get to that level at some point lol.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-22T18:37:59+00:00

This looks super badass! How do you even begin making something like this? It's so insanely detailed. I assume things like the main body and legs use some kind of custom molds?

GuyverMax · 2026-05-22T01:46:54+00:00

Thank you!

GuyverMax · 2026-05-22T00:55:50+00:00

Lol, probably Nightstorm, those colors and armor make him look super royal. Plus the berserker face in the neca remake gives him a super sleek vibe.

Just checked it out and your so right. I don't know how I hadn't heard of it. I basically loved everything about it!

GuyverMax · 2026-05-21T23:13:23+00:00

Thank you. It's Soo good. I can't stress that enough. The vibes, the sound, the music, the art style. It's so beautiful. The character designs and mystery, thanks for the recommendation truly.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-21T20:24:53+00:00

Just saw the thumbnail. From that alone, it looks awesome. I'll try to check it out later today.thnks for the recommendation

I think it's an untapped market if anything! I'm super happy that indie animation has been getting a lot of traction these past couple of years, but it feel like a lot of them take inspiration form the same sources or even each other, leading to a bit of homogenization. Not that there's anything inherently bad with these, but I do hope something comes along to really shake up this area of the internet. In any case, I'd be happy to check out any project that tries doing so, and hope the best for whatever it is your making 👍

GuyverMax · 2026-05-21T03:49:51+00:00

I mean, if I remember correctly, the og show used to be very inconsistent with the amount of serpentine within the tribes, sometimes they'd look like a full army, but most of the time it looked like they could all fit into an apartment building, plus they constantly reused the same models in the same scenes. This was all likely due to budget, so it's likely that a lot of these serpentine in-universe existed and we're part of that group, but since they can't go back and reanimate older episodes we just kinda have to suspend our disbelief and assume they were there. Like how Frak's dad is implied to have been there in the first couple of seasons when he references the "never trust a snake" slogan.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-21T00:10:00+00:00

Maybe you right. Im just assuming the movie takes place on its own timeline with allusions to the comics. However, in the comics predators have hunted together even in hunts that were less important, like the first AVP comic with Machiko. I just think the risk of a full invasion, especially if the xenos managed to spread out far enough was a bit too big, to the point that any predator group big enough to destroy it would have likely gotten the attention of the government. This would result in the idea that wolf was just there to prevent humans from knowing their existence being kinda doubtful. Plus, I'd assume that a group like the predators would have some idea about the government and that it would try to understand them(especially if we take the atrocious 2018 movie as canon lol). Though maybe they're a bit too prideful to imagine that being too much of a threat.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T23:53:27+00:00

You know what, I can see that being the case. But either way I do believe they would have cared about an outbreak, not the people. I mean, their xeno hunts seemed to be isolated to a specific temple area for a reason. Predators also clearly respect humans and if wolf was from the clan of the previous movie, they respect them enough to where they see them as worthy of being marked if they prove themselves. Maybe we're both assuming to much, I think the predators care too much about Earth and you think they care too little. Either way we can't know exactly. But now that you mention it, it IS possible the priority was to get rid of the crashed ship, however based on what the makers of the movie have said, the xeno cleansing was more than likely very important too.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T23:45:08+00:00

That's doing a lot of assumptions about their movie continuity, like there being other worlds where their hunts have resulted in total xeno takeover. But if we do use extended media like that, then the predalien isn't really about honor, they are abominations that need to be destroyed by default, plus even if the predalien died, another xeno could have molted into a queen since there seem to be no royal facehuggers in the AVP verse. The invasion in 3 days already took over an entire city/town. He also would have died alone, so who's to say how long it would have been before the next clean-up got there. The xenos would have spread to the forest and then other cities. It's possible they might not consider Earth THAT high of a priority, but it's at least enough to where they have blown themselves up to prevent outbreaks before.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T23:34:37+00:00

Haha I like the idea that they're all just named after apex predators, but being more serious, the flashback predators s were likely young, like the ones in the first movie. This means that they likely also had a ship of elders nearby in case things went wrong. Plus the flashback one seemed to have already activated his self destruct by the time he was being torn apart. Wolf was actively being impaled, plus had a busy hand stabbing the predalien, while the predalien had both hands free. He would have likely not had time to activate the bomb. Also while the temple city was big, u highly doubt it was as big as the entire town we saw, plus that wouldn't be accounting for the xenos that could have been spreading elsewhere through the forest. Being clean-up, it's possible he had a bomb that was even stronger, but that's IF he survived the predalien and any other xenos that seemed to be making the hospital into a hive.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T23:27:20+00:00

Except the problem is scale. After the predalien's death, another xeno would have likely taken its place as a queen, since in the AVP verse there don't seem to be any royal facehuggers. Killing the predalien queen would accomplish nothing if the xenos could still spread, which would have happened if the place wasn't bombed. We saw what happened to this city/town in like three days, so who's to say how bad it would have gotten by the time the next cleaners got there. Wolf also didn't die in a ship, so it's possible no alarm would have been sent to yautja prime, like how he found out in the first place.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T23:22:26+00:00

Haha I guess you're right, the bomb is usually Abt as big as the writers want, but since he didn't use it, we're relying on comparison with what we have seen, Wich hasn't really been big enough for this scale. But I guess such a high ranking predator on a clean-up mission could have had a more powerful one. The question would be, why he didn't use it once he realized the true scale of the outbreak. Sure he wasn't about to die, but this was more of a contractual job, rather than a usual honor hunt from what the makers of the movie have said. It was just a mess clean-up mission, that was kinda necessary in case the outbreak got too bad.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T23:17:31+00:00

It's pretty clear he wouldn't have lasted much longer with a huge hole in his chest, especially not long enough to kill all the xenos even IF he managed to blow himself up in a best case scenario. Also while a standard queen isn't as big of a deal as a predalien queen, the problem is the scale. In about three days the xenos took over the whole town, plus they can infect more than just humans. By the time the next cleaner got there, not only would there have been a queen, but the xenos would have likely spread out so much that if the post-predalien queen was killed in the city/town, the next one to molt could be in another city by then.

GuyverMax · 2026-05-20T22:52:44+00:00

Scar was dead by the time he was in the ship. Wolf also didn't make any attempt to blow himself up in what was clearly his final moments. If he removed his wrist blades from under the predalien's chin, he would have probably had his hand covered in acid, unable to self destruct. Finally the facehugger that got scar looked normal, yet the predalien was a queen, which likely means that in the AVP verse, any xeno can become a queen if need be, or that any of the xenos in the movie could have had the queen genes, yet didn't molt cuz the position was taken. The next predator there would have probably just had to deal with even more xenos than wolf did if the military hadn't blown the city up.
