The first AVP gets by on the novelty of seeing the Alien and the Predator fight each other on screen. That novelty is well worn out in Requiem however.
What if Ridley Scott's Alien was a flop?

What kept the Species movies coming? Nudity.
I thought AvP would have been great and they took it in possibly the most stupid direction they could of before the movie even started. I was kind of thinking that on a Predator planet the Aliens took over, like they do, and a Predator team would try to go in try to stop them, the company could have been involved and it might have been a company experiment to see how well their new weapon preformed putting the Predators and company at war.
Instead we get right of passage in 1990s bull.
Largely because it is terribly shot. Also, it is a terrible movie.
AVP was terrible but I can at least watch it over Alien: Resurrection. I know, that's not saying much...
I think the art style was probably the most influential. But, Alien is really a blend of three different films, with Star Wars and the used universe style, 2001 with the hypersleep and then monster movies.
What is unique is the twist upon those elements. What I personally think is that it didn't need to be a franchise.
We would all be dead because of the creation of this new timeline though us who are old would likely have double still alive. The movie itself would become a cult hit on Beta Max(they beat out VCR in this timeline) which leads to a late 80's syndicated tv remake starring Bess Armstrong,Marc Singer and O.J Simpson that flops but then finds new life in the 90's due to a campy Alien vs Godzilla movie.

What's so campy about the Alien vs. Godzilla in that timeline?
I actually enjoy Requiem more than the first, just for the the Wolf Predator. I love that he starts out calm and collected, then you can see him getting more and more pissed off at the situation as the movie goes on
