I don't think it's a matter of 10' creatures forever. But in the last movie we had the beserkers, now we have the upgrade. That's two movies in a row where the classic predator has been outmatched by larger/stronger hybrids. There's only so many times this can be done before people start wondering, "are the classic predators just the Kevin Hart's of their species?".
I'm all for seeing new and awesome things, but the bigger and badder the new predators get, the less ferocious the originals become.
I don't think I have the slightest problem with that. Because yes, from a biological, physical point of view, the original Predators are the weakest ones. Fine. That doesn't mean that they're always gonna be the least dangerous ones. In a future movie, a smaller, traditional Predator may very well be shown as more dangerous than anything else just because of a specific set of skills he has that other original Predators didn't have, or for being more intelligent, his hunting tactics and everything. That's absolutely normal and a very strong possibility.
Exactly, maybe a smaller Bad Blood who fights
really dirty (the proverbial raping and pillaging). Or a Trojan horse type scenario, with a "benevolent" Predator that uses humanity for its own gain. There are plenty of routes that can be taken. I do feel that the continuous
upgrading of the Predator after each movie is concerning, but it doesn't necessarily spell the death of the original Predators and how they can still be the main antagonists in future films.
