Splash Report Rumors

[Mr.Turok]

It's called just doing something new and refreshing. James Cameron created a 16 foot tall Queen Alien. That's a huge difference from the 8 foot original Alien. Besides 10 feet isn't too much taller then the 7-8 foot Predators we all know and love. I think it would be pretty cool seeing a 10 foot huge Predator beast.

And the Queen Alien has become a fan favorite and iconic so maybe that will be the case here with this new Predator.

How is buffing up this already roided alien any better?

It makes sense that a Queen exists because it explains the eggs that we see on the Jockey ship. And when they added to how larger, stronger, faster, and most importantly and horrifyingly; intelligent, it greatly added to the lore and everyone loved it.

If it was a specialist, why not send a regular Predator like Wolf? The guy can take out a small hive by himself and it is implied that he fought bigger and nastier things. I mean for cripes sake, the FIRST Predator, Jungle Hunter, had taken out an elite commando squad by himself before being taken out by main man. If Wolf outranks Jungle Hunter by experience, age, and rank then a regular bodied Pred like Wolf can do the job so much easier, not a 10 ft tall "Predator 2.0"

Again I ask, for what purpose does the Predator species need a huge ass bioengineered version of themselves? They hunt the biggest, dangerous, and nastiest things in the universe, its what they live for, its what they love, its their life. They don't need a huge ass lunk to take out the dangerous stuff, that's where the honor comes from, killing the damm thing with their own honor bound clawed hands. If they want to have a "2.0", just have one of those Super Predators from before and expand on them and create a good story from that. I like the idea of an extreme and criminal version of Predators that have a hatred for their other "by the books" kin and vice versa. Things can be worked with that

Its not refreshing if this new thing doesn't make any sense at all with the lore and universe of the Predator franchise.

Well it seems like to you that the genetically enhanced part doesn't make sense or is a weird thing. But as for height. 8 foot could just be average height for Preds who knows how tall they can get just like some people are 7 foot tall giants and others are average heights. Great white sharks max out at 20 feet long but of course there are many great white sharks who are only 12-15 feet long. I think a 10 foot Predator is not to far fetched and it just gives a unique side to this individual who will be the tallest Predator on film yet. It gives him a unique trait and I think that's really cool.

The queen was a really bad idear the "alien" are not "bugs in space" there ALIEN

[newagescamartist]

I don't get it with the Predator franchise.
The first film is so great but, it's as if no one who watches it, and then attempts to write another film, can recall what made the film and it's monster interesting.

The solution is hunting. What do humans do to hunt. That's the type of set up to address in sequels. I dont think we should get to know or see anything that has to do with the Predators themselves unless a human being is placed in that position.
What types of scenarios do humans have set up to hunt? Take that, spin it on it's head, and that's the key to a good Predator film.

Nailed it. Right there.

Gigantism is a "thing" among human beings...

Why not just accept that it could also be a thing among
this very fictional Predator race...
and move on..

THE PREDATOR 2.0 A ten feet tall genetically enhanced and more advanced Predator

So... we have predator-newborn?

[Master]

Becuse it still doesn't make you super powered.

[Pvt. Himmel]

Now i get the "You'll never see him coming" tagline!! It's something we haven't seen thus far in the franchise.

[skhellter]

Becuse it still doesn't make you super powered.

He's taller stronger, that's it... doesnt mean he's gonna be The HULK. 


Settle down, kid.

THE PREDATOR 2.0 A ten feet tall genetically enhanced and more advanced Predator

there was nothing advanced about the Newborn.

Gigantism, apart from being big, makes one slow, clumsy and with joint pain and failure.

Oh,  and please kiss my sweet ass with your "kid" attitude 

[Corporal Hicks]

Comeon, gents. No need for the condescending attitudes here.

[ROYCE_THE_PREDATOR]

I wonder how is The 10 foot tall Pred supposed to be enhanced. Did the Predators enhance him themselves because they know what trouble he's up against trying to take back the Predator technology. It looks like that this new movie is going to stick with the one Predator stalking ideal. We had that in P1 P2, Avpr so far.

If it were just a trait than I agree, I would be so much fine with that. But since the fact that he is 10ft tall BECAUSE of genetic engineering is what rubs me the wrong way.

Again, I ask to those who defend this; what warrants the Predator race to create a "Predator 2.0"?  As I said before, the Preds don't need a secret weapon like that as their entire culture is about hunting the most dangerous thing out there that the universe has to offer. It feels like the "Super" Predator element all over again, just one sentence and no exploration to it, just take it at face value, no creativity or thought to it at all. The worst thing about it is I like the idea of rogue larger and dangerous versions of the original preds, but there is no substance to how and why they came to be in the end.

Another thing that came to mind regarding height, remember these aliens probably inhabit different worlds with different gravity.

A man born on Mars would grow taller than a man on Earth due to less gravity pushing down on them.

Anyway, think of Predator 2.0 as their version of a Spartan soldier from Halo or a Space Marine from Warhammer 40k.

Yes, the Predators are a race of hunters whose whole society is based around hunting the most dangerous things out there and kicking its ass. You get badass points for succeeding.

But...

A race that hunts other intelligent races is bound to face the consequences of it. What stops some of these species from going "hang on, these astronomical assholes over there are going around collecting our heads. Let's all band together and teach these immense douchebags a lesson!"

I think these guys are bio-engineered for war. Like I said earlier, a spec ops Predator. The reason 2.0 is sent to Earth is probably because he was the closest to us?

Why send Wolf from hella far away, when you got this supreme hunter literally next door. With these primitives already having got their hands on your tech, might as well send the nearest badass to retrieve it right? Who knows how quickly they can reverse engineer it. Besides, with this warrior, the chances of success are higher as he's likely built for this sort of thing but with only deadlier prey. So now you're sending him for some R & R on some backwater planet to collect stolen gear. This'll seem like a vacation to 2.0... (cue usual Predator underestimation of humanity once again.)

I do understand your concerns though. I like that they're trying out new things but they gotta be careful man, trying out new things can turn out bad. I hope this turns out really good.

I remember when the first Super Predator picture leaked, with that god awful face, and I prayed it was not legit, but in my heart I knew it would be, I have that same feeling now about this leak.  It's complete garbage if true, from the casting choices to the idea of a giant predator.  I own almost every Predator comic made to date, and I don't recall any of them having a "giant Predator", and somehow, they still tell interesting stories.  Somehow the writers find a way to tell the hunter story in a different way, some better than others, but one does not need the 2.0 concept to improve the mythos.
