The Predator is the worst entry in the entire fox library, and likely will remain so forever.
... you mean for the A/P films specifically, right?

Cos 20th Century Fox has made some awful f**king movies.

QuoteAre folks already forgetting the unused endings with Newt and Ripley?
Are we holding films accountable to deleted material now ... ?

Yeah, just the films.

And I put the endings forth as Exhibit B of the fact that they were totally lost, and narratively bankrupt.

Yet it's still a better movie than AVPR.

Neither one is worse than AR.

I'd rather watch AR than AvPR or TP.

This. AR was my favorite of the series as a kid.
Still have more of a soft spot for it then it probably deserves ;D

Is that why he always seems to be down on his luck  ;D

I do give some crap to Alien Resurrection but I feel that it was trying to be somewhat similar to some of the wacky Alien comics that we've gotten, and some of the things they've done. I mean a talking Xenomorph? I think it was an android but I still can't say that it was a good thing. In that aspect of being a part of the stranger xenomorph universe I was ok with it and actually have a soft spot for it.

Every Predator movie feels self-contained so they can easily discard The Predator and no one will even bat an eyelash. It's not like the general public is saying... what happened to Royce!? That's the beauty of the Predator franchise. No reoccurring characters, no reoccurring Predators, all barely tied together with the equivalent to easter eggs versus real story threads.


*Edit - Spelling

What happened to Royce?  :'(

The next movie can retcon The Predator, and star Mark Rolston as an agent trying to uncover what happened to Royce, while a different Predator tries to stop him.
