This is going to divide fans even more than Alien Covenant!!!
People love Predator 2, people hate Predator 2
People love Predators, people hate Predators
People consider the games/comics canon, others dont
The fanbase was always divided, there are people who love these movies for being good action movies, others just for the creature, others love/hate everything with/without Arnold. This movie won't change anything, there will be fans who will love this and fans who will hate it, but it was never any different.
Not all fans agree and we don't have to. I don't care so much about "the fan stuff" in these movies anymore, i just want a good movie and there is a pretty good chance this will hit the spark. It's all about personal taste, the stuff others loathe on this website is being cherished by others.
I agree overall, but i tend to think that there were never something THAT potentially divisive in predator 1, 2 and predators. But it's okay, you can't satisfy everyone anyway. I absolutely love some stuff from the script, other i found it weird/worrying, but i'm looking forward to it no matter what.
I heard about some of this stuff, but to me it's all about how certain things work within the context of the story. Predators in military pants sounds like a horrible idea, yes, but i want to see the whole picture before i make a judgement of any of this stuff. Let's put it this way, Predators are smart and technologically advanced, they have a society, why not make anything of this? I feel like we haven't really scratched the surface with the species yet. People bitched about the domesticated Raptors in JW, but i think they handled those quite well, i actually loved that stuff. Hoping for something similar here. I know people on here hate the idea, but something about
Spoiler
Predators working with humans in a greater interstellar conflict
has me totally excited, keep them Predators and in-character, yes, but why not show a side we haven't seen before? Also, we know that Predators, when engaged in certain situations, do in fact take the help from others when there is absolutely no other choice. So it's not really out of character, they just take it a step further.
Take Predator 2, i love it, but theres some seriously ridiculous and almost comically absurd stuff in that movie, but looking at it as a whole, the movie gave us some great new stuff about the Predator and it's a great and enjoyable action movie.
As long as THE PREDATOR is just that, and with Shane Black at the helm it has every chance to be, i will probably love it.
