- Bryan Prince does a great job giving Fugitive personality and I sincerely hope he's brought back, he's great.
- I love the design of Fugitive and the Assassin. I'd really like to see that helmet reused somewhere.
- I appreciate a lot of the changes to the arsenal in particular that it limits potential issues should the Predator lose something and every movie they have a habit of dropping shit. Fugitive's gauntlets essentially being identical enables him wrist blades, a computer, and gadgets even upon losing the other. I also really like the implication of the tech being more advanced now with the plasmacaster fitting into the helmet. Just little changes like that really work. The Predator Killer does take things a bit too far but Fugitive and Assassin's gear and its storage I think work. Another thing which might be a bit of unintentional continuity but with the gun being placed in the helmet I like the implication that they realized having two or even a backup is a good call, and it minimizes chances of losing a gun like Wolf did if the Predator will normally be wearing the helmet.
- I like the idea of them taking genetic material. And it does hold up given we know that in Predator continuity they have Xenomorphs. So one would or should expect them to have some genetic knowledge in order to create new Xenomorphs to hunt. Taking the crossovers into account and the prequels noting they're a genetic experiment, Predators just came to the same conclusion. It totally works. We also see them in EU material utilize cybernetics so I don't see why the genetic experimentation would be out of the question.
Execution of the autism idea almost works. Autistic kids have this tendency to be hyper focused on a subject and with Rory figuring out how to use the gear at such a young age, I can see why the Assassin might be interested in dissecting him. They also take genetic material through heads anyways so you'd never know the full version of what they're doing unless we looked so you can preserve past stories since we wouldn't know what they did with it but it's a hunt regardless. The execution doesn't work but this concept almost does. Cut the autism/evolution line from Oliva Munn and replace it with maybe a scene of the Assassin scanning material or the Assassin noting how weird it is for Rory to simply be able to work the tech and call in to a lab to prep. Do something with that.
