Indeed. It should've just been that fugitive is being hunted by hybrid as a punishment, not for stealing anything. Like a death sentence. He got a head start and was hunted all the way to earth. The humans were just caught in the middle. There was no plan to help anybody.
And fugitive should've had a chance. It would've been nice to see how a predator handles being hunted, what traps they would set, etc. Not just missing point blank and charging like an idiot. A cat and mouse game between the two of them over the course of the film would've resulted in a better viewing experience for me. Of course, you'd also need to remove the kid and the looney angle as well.
