For me black blood is yet another regurgitation process. Shitty, totally unneeded idea that alters they creature in the way that adds really nothing usefull to franchise.
They have black blood for a reason though, they are genetically modified Predators. I can appreciate that many dont like this idea but i think its great and it brings something new: Predators who like gene splicing the genes of their victims to become bigger and stronger. This makes them terrifying and great in my books - the Predators of old that honour prey who defeat them with gifts have been replaced by Predators who kill, gut and assimilate prey who defeat them!! That is trully bad ass and makes them a great bad guy for a movie. A bad guy should show no mercy, this will make them more scary and make the ordeal of the human characters being hunted by them more tense which will translate great on screen - just like the original.
Spoiler
Also the old "honurable" Predator makes an appearance but unfortunately its gets its assed kicked by the new variant of Predator.
Which is the overall theme of the franchise, survival of the fittest!
It's not about the color of blood, it's just a detail.
I'm concerned about the change, what is perfect, and for me, Winston's Preds are perfect.
But that's not the point.Many times I wrote and I argued honorable hunting. But ... I guess we don't understand ... For Preds. pride is to find the prey is strong enough to fight was equal as possible. BSP acts to weaken the prey prior to hunting. The game is not fair. That I don't like it. If they are so badass, playing the poor prey does not highlight this, right?
IMO after thinking about the genetic modification, I came to the conclusion:
Spoiler
Normal Preds chose the strongest preys to hunting, because they wanted the most honorable/strongest trophy. BSP hunting it's some kind of test too. Not experiencing the strongest, but "the gene pool is included from the strongest". This is the reason, why they use only DNA of the strongest of the preys. This is the reason, why they use genetic modification at all. This is them trophy.
It is such a digression ...
But the question remains why they weaken preys at the start?
If the prey is weakened, how do you know that may be of value? Logical?
