While I agree that Arnold shouldn't be the action hero in another predator film, i'd love to hear what happened to Dutch - perhaps even with a sizable role from Arnold, just not as the focus. I get a little tired of the franchise having these people go to so much trouble and kill the Predator(s), only to have an ambiguous fate afterwards. What's the point of having the human win if we're not actually allowed to feel like they lived happily ever after?
Exactly!!!!
This is excellent news.
I've been waiting for this for a loooooooooooong time.
You don't kill a Pred, have the Gov't cover it up and then pretend or tell the fans of the franchise that there is no consequence to it.
It's ludicrious and is a huuuuuuge whole in the whole story.
Dutch or Harrigan's "fate" should not be ignored or forgotten.
Aliens did it correctly using Ripley's "experience" to grow and continue the story, which is what a TRUE sequel does.
I will never forget Dutch nor Harrigan until I'm shown reason to believe so.
I'm not going to "pretend" like the Govt agencies don't know about Preds anymore, or pretend like Dutch and Harrigan never killed a Pred.
Waaaaay to many cool and exploreable questions opened up with the death of the Preds that were killed and not one has been touched on.
Instead we are supposed to pretend to let it start all over again with new unsuspecting characters.
Get real.
Dutch and/or Harrigan are still alive the Gov't knows about the Preds. Let's not ignore those HUGE FACTS.
Get this done!!!
And let this be clear I'm not advocating Arnold to come back as an "Action" hero to fight a Pred again. I've already posted my idea multiple times in here to have Dutch be in a "support" "advocate"/"intelligence" type role helping a new "hero" defeat a Pred, that's on the hunt.
Because yes the Reality is that Arnold is not going to be believable as an buff action star at this point.
But a grizzled, old, tough, seculded vet is believable with Dutch.
