Except Predator and 1 and 2 manage to do it without CGI. You're not going to improve on anything, especially after 'The Predator ('18) travesty with the CGI Predator.
I just disagree with this. That was passable for a film released 30 years ago, but not now. And definitely not with today's audience. It's a bit naive IMO to think this kind of film franchise can continue to survive making the same kind of film released in 1987. Especially considering the state the franchise is already in today. And everyone should know by now, good CGI is usually not even noticable, and if so, doesn't take you out the film. The last film was bad all around. But that isn't the barometer all of CGI capability all the sudden.

You wouldn't need flashy kicks or punches. As someone pointed out, the Predator isn't a dancer.
Not sure where "confident, purposeful attacks like punches" equates to "dancing", but that's not what I said.

How is that thread turned into discussion about how Predator should kick its victim ?
This is a thread about the upcoming movie, and people are talking about what they would like to see in it. This is how message boards usually function.

I get the "martial arts" angle, but those arts are when you meet up with a somewhat equal playing field. A Predator doesn't give a shit if he's fighting Floyd Mayweather and Bruce Lee, he punches him....he's dead. It's like saying we should use martial arts on a Gorilla.
I'm confused entirely by this analogy. How is Predator punching prey like humans using martial arts on Gorilla?
-Predators don't Punch. They slap. That sucks.
-Humans are no match for Gorillas. A Gorilla can literally rip your arm out of its socket with minimal effort.
So whose supposed to be who in that analogy, and how does it relate to people like myself wanting to see Predators do something else in 2021 besides backhand slap characters on film?
