Maybe they could jump
back in time with the next arc?Not against a future/interstellar setting, but there's been no "world building" to flesh out this new Predator setting. The Preds so far have been getting butchered left and right with little tension. Maybe jump back to show us
how Theta grew into such a deadly, hardened warrior.
Imo good Aliens media touches upon some of the cosmic mystery behind the Aliens. Good Predator media dips, though not too deeply, into Pred culture and sprinkles a few Pred individuals with personality and maybe even growth. At the end of the day, Preds are a bit more like humans than the utterly alien Aliens.
Spoiler
For example, instead of beating multiple random Preds sequentially, the opening arc could've had Theta matching wits and skills against one Pred...or even a pair/trio...across a multi-issue extended encounter. More flashbacks and internal monologue could be worked in to explain Theta's abilities. Maybe Theta even has an old combat android assisting her, an android who functions as friend and mentor...someone who might actually "die" to build tension. With a tighter focus, the readers learn about Theta, but the Preds also feel more like interesting characters in their own right, and there'd be more stakes.
These are just ideas I came up with on the fly, but I think there's a lot of wasted potential with Marvel's actual approach.
