I really hope you guys are prepared for the final nail in the coffin of the Predator franchise. They're not even trying to hide the fact that this is a feminist/women can out-do men piece of crap! That's all Hollywood cares about. Dark Fate did wonders for the Terminator franchise (insert sarcasm), didn't it? This will undoubtedly be the worst Predator film of the franchise, and I honestly hope they don't make anymore! If you want a real Predator movie, then stick with the original two, and pretend the others don't exist. I'm not saying "Predators" was bad. On the contrary, I thought it was better than "The Predator", but the way in which Adrien Brody killed the berserker Predator wasn't believable in the slightest, and, if anything, it was simply cartoonish. I hate to be a downer, but you should seriously consider lowering your expectations, because you're just setting yourselves up for disappointment. Long live Dutch Schaefar!
In my opinion, once ADI/KNB designed the preds,and continued to do so after AVP, this fact alone was the final nail in the coffin of the franchise,to me a good movie with a wrongly designed predator is worthless, not that both AVPs, The Predator and Predators were any good.They all had their moments (the AVP flashback), or small improvements (Wolf in AVPR), but they were all subpar eventually. I'm starving since Predator 2, but I'm remaining uncompromising.I wish the fanbase was more demanding, not just paying then complaining but complaining first, it's worth a try.
About the feminist trend, I'm not a fan of it, I don't like propaganda, but I will say that I'm not against the strong female type if it is handled correctly , Vasquez is a yes, Ghostbusters (2016) or Terminator 6 is a no, and a myriad of of netflix recent crap.
As of today, there is no way to be sure about how it will handled in Prey, but I understand your
mistrust.You'll have to wait until June I guess.
A handful of fans are hopping to see the predator Elder as a younger version of itself in Prey, or maybe for just a cameo, as the story is set in
1716 (Dan Trachtenberg started his work on Prey aka Skulls in 2016, and the story is set 300 years prior).
It would be such a nice touch. There is still some hope.
