Cross Species Breeding in fantasy sifi
Nickeris86:
i have heard of it being done in SciFi but i can't recall any specifics at this time. oh wait they did it a few times on Andromda with Neechians and Humans. (Neechians looked just like humans but had bone spikes on their forearms)
and on Farscape Luxens could breed with Peacekeepers (which were identical to humans) and one of the main characters had a son who popped up from time to time.

I heard the AVP books were amazing, and the newest Predators adaptation by Trouble Maker studios is trying to go back to the roots of the first two movies, and get away from the AVP adaptations.

the first two are great, but they get kinda repetitive after that. i saw the new Predators movie and i was not that impressed, it was entertaining but they radically changed the mythose of the predators, and changed their behavior radically, they also did something that i thought was rather stupid but won't mention here for spoiler reasons.

I don't want to get too off topic, but I actually enjoyed the newest Predator installment. It was by no means AMAZING, but I would say a 8 out of 10 (maybe give or take half a point).
I thought it to be much better than the AVP movies but I already love Trouble Maker studios so I was already inclined to like it anyways, but I also like most of the cast memebers too.
Sadly AVP movies had potential but they turned out to be crap, well the 2nd one really, the 1st was not near as bad.
Paul Anderson, the director of AVP is a decent director.......kind of......well he did a bunch of movies based off of things I love. I loved Soldier w/ Kurt Russell, he also did Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Resident Evil, and he returned to direct the 4th Resident Evil. So it's too bad AVP wasn't a little better, I think the cinematography suffered most, 90% of the action scenes I couldn't tell what the hell was happening.
Colin Strause is the guy who directed and killed the AVP franchise. The biggest movie he ever directed was.........wait for it...........AVP: Requim. He is really a Visual Effects guy who has done effects for a bunch of movies, but he isn't a really a director, I don't know what genius at the studio was like, "hey you! visual effects guy, get over here and direct this."
Anyhow I wouldn't mind seeing a more Predator installments, and though Nimród Antal hasn't really directed anything great, I like that he decided to go back to the roots of the first two Predator movies and he even said he wants to get away from the AVP movies because the were getting way over the top and he wants to bring it back to a simpler straightfoward action sci-fi.
Nickeris86:
yeah i would prefer if they went back to the predators just hunting us without feeling the need to add more too it, (click to show/hide)like another species of predators that hunt the ones we know and love, that really pissed me off. the formula of us vs. them worked people need to stop trying to fix things that aren't broken and then cocking the whole thing up for everyone.
any way back on topic. when two species do get it on and create a hybrid they usually have strange characteristics , like ligers are freaking huge because they don't develop the gene that tells them to stop getting bigger, or that mules have giant ears, or zehorsea (horse/zebra) has stripy legs but looks like a horse. how would this play over into humanoid hybrids.

It can be something as different coloured eyes or even oddly shaped eyes to different coloured skin or hair or even pointed ears, ridged noses, whatever you want but always be consistent. If special abilities are involved try to mingle them in but don't forget to balance it with a bit of a drawback. If a species can see in the dark then perhaps the offspring can also see in the dark but perhaps not as clearly or for as great a distance.
If Human mates with species A and creates B then you need to be consistent that all B's generally have the same characteristics to signify a stable breeding which to me seems more plausible.
MoSeS:
Yeah, I think it wouldn't be hard to make cross species plausible. As long as the story is good I think any sort of halfling character would be accepted.
