The book is still a year off. I am sure they'll be more revisions till then.
Doesn't mean it'll be better though.
Or it could be if they are careful with making sure it makes sense.
I think people are getting a bit too salty over this. Let's wait and see if the book actually is good or not first before we cast judgement based on a small synopsis which at this stage could be changed drastically.
Because the amount of salt in this thread is starting to get absurd. I can understand people having an opinion and not liking the way a synopsis sounds, but Jesus Christ, to sum up what I remember some people saying over the days - "this has ruined a classic", "I will never look at Predator the same way", "this is rebooting a classic film".
Guys, simply don't read it then, you'd be surprised how loudly your Wallet speaks to Fox. You can still enjoy Predator in the same way you always have. No one will take that away lol. If you like Anytime being there on safari alone, then that's your own enjoyment.
That's the whole beauty of this franchise, films come first and you can ignore novels and comics because those are supplementary materials. Some fan might be like "oh, this book states there's another Predator in P1? Interesting, I wanna check that out" while everyone else could freely ignore it and frankly not miss out on much.
This won't be as game changing for the entire franchise as say, Alien 5 and whatnot. The EU has always taken a back seat behind the movies. I mean, how many people actually read the books? There are more people who have seen the films, played the games and probably even read the comics compared to those who buy and read these novels. Novels do seem like a niche thing to me.
So you all have literally
nothing to worry about! Let's wait and see if this book actually does goof or if it sucks, time will tell, not predictions. Alien: River of Pain was enjoyable to me so I am optimistic with the author here.
