This weird monster mash franchise needs to either die or add Abbot and Costello.

No way.  This is a great franchise and works well for games.  AvP 2 was fantastic.  The space marine campaign is one of the best single player experiences around.

Don't know why they can't seem to make a decent movie out of it.

Because they don't quite understand how to do decent movies of that sort anymore.  Murder porn is way more popular with the kids.  Instead of having a tension-filled pursuit ala Alien or Predator, or a bughunt like Aliens, they make movies where the characters are essentially cardboard cutouts with the word 'VICTIM' printed on their foreheads.  They use effects to try and make the creatures 'wow' us and be visually striking.  The impact of the monsters is lessened.

I never saw Alien v Predator 1 (the film), but if it was like Alien v Predator 2 it deserves to die.  In a fire. After having much of it's skin removed.

I'd buy Abbot and Costello meet Alien vs. Predator.

And for arcade, Marvel vs. Capcom vs. Abbot and Costello
