That sucks
Op ed: Terry Crews and Arnold should star in an M rated Predator TV show
It really does, pretty shallow. Like people can’t enjoy things without self-inserting into them. People immediately pick humanoid classes, MMO stats are funny. League of legends doesn’t even make playable monsters anymore just swordsmen, catgirls, and kpop.

Maybe they dont want to demystify the Yautja
Or simply can’t come up with anything worthwhile

I’m down for a Predator TV show, even if it is half as good as Cobra Kai.

Complete with cliffhangers and misrepresentation of the lore
I haven’t read stalking shadows. This is me purely spitballing a way to be rid of The Predator and get Arnold back on film in a meaningful way and get Terry Crews to dip his feet in.
Well, I thought, given what Dutch and Keyes talked about in the tapes, perhaps the OWLF had begunnto successfully kill Elders etc at an alarming rate, thereby raising the threat level from hunt to battle. Again ,just a way to get a story rolling. I don’t work for Fox or anything.
In much the same way Harrison Ford thought about Han Solo. If there’s no real risk to the main characters, the villains are taken far less seriously. They become a joke. And Predators should never be a joke.
I did. Machiko is garbage. Nothing like or about her should ever be written into canon.
That followup comic to Predators was also garbage. It would be struck from the record.
They are? Have you seen the Mandalorian? Thats how to do them correctly.
Bear in mind that Royce, Isabel and Shaman never actually met Dutch. Isabel had only heard stories about him. I figured that while the 3 were kinds stuck with each other, they’d talk about their own experiences and those of the Lost Tribe, which JH was not of, presumably. Shaman would know about Harrigan, having witnessed him kill CH on his own ship etc. Like swapping war stories, except Royce and Isabel get the idea that Harrigan may be of use, not knowing anything else about him. I would put it that they managed to zero in on some signal given off by Egyptian Preds detonation or something like that to know where to aim their pod. Could be fleshed out more, who knows.
Not so much thatbhe would know more, but that he’d gone into hiding and written his own notes on them for years. Royce and Isabel have no clue what the OWLF had or has or even exists. The Preds don’t know shit about what Harrigan been up to. They never bothered him again after Elder let him go with his gift.
Again, another spitball. Could be anything sneaky. Maybe they remove their masks while at leisure activities.
They’d be flying in a Predator ship, albeit a slapped together one, or managed to cloak some other craft. The point is, they get by undetected. Or maybe it could lead to a big space battle, whatever. Spitballing.
I never said the plan succeeded. Maybe they crash and are stranded on Yautja prime and have to try to find a way off. Maybe they stumble upon the planet at war between the regulars and the super predators and just have to find a way off, etc. Lots of ways to go.
This would be considered a last ditch effort since the OWLF would be on its last legs by now, after the previous events.
Like I said, this is just one guy, who despises The Predator enough to make up an entire series to get the stench of it out of his nose and keep moving the franchise forward, while keeping the good stuff from the films, not comics etc intact.
Read it again, slower this time. The whole point is to be rid of the Predator-killer armor canonically. To be rid of the events of the 4th film entirely and have a fresh start while not trouncing the other films.
Also, Arnold would die, heroically. Harrigan would never be shown on screen. He’d also have passed on from old age. Who knows? Maybe Royce or Isabel would die in battle too. Anything could happen. No avengers. More like the Colonial marines in Aliens when they got marooned on LV-426. They wouldn’t be in great shape.
The second one. Definitely the second one.🤣

They killed Predators but not elders.
If that happened…
Everybody is dead Dave
You mean Han solo? And the dude who killed him is a joke?
No that’s writing. Kylo killed Han he’s a joke. No one in Firefly died but that show is amazing.
You don’t need characters to die in order to get good tension. Especially since I just want Dutch to survive everyone else can die.
When was the last time a Digimon character died. And adults still herald that show as amazing writing. (Kids show as well. Which is funny because according to Star wars sequals fans kid shows don’t need good writing)
How? You do realize that she is the star of one of the most beloved comic books? Also again how please explain.
Also she is canon.
How many retcons are you going to do here?!?!
A good story should be able to last on its own while also leaving itself open to sequals.
Cliffhangers don’t do that. It’s strictly worse. Especially the one you wrote. The more in your face the worse they get and let me tell ya it doesn’t get more in your face than Isabelle and Royce outfitted in Predator gear (retcons on Royce’s side btw) dropping in from a Predator pod asking for Harrigan.
That makes perfect sense.
So they think Harrigan is some sort of Pred slayer? Otherwise it wouldn’t make sense for them to do that at all other than “there’s a Pred there”
They literally landed in front of a bunch of OWLF members they wouldn’t need Harrigan anymore.
They’d get one nuke at most
Dead
You telling me the OWLF have one base?
Well if you don’t write it well all you get is Terminator Dark Fate.
Both featuring Arnold…
Leomon dies every single time he appears onscreen.
Infected digimon get slaughtered on principal and killing eachother to get stronger was a plot point in Tamers.
Just the more you know
Meant main character
I watched the show and enjoy the mature theme they take with it.
It takes them seasons for a main character to die
My mistake for not being specific on what I meant.
Tbh he has a point she’s an absolute katana honor stereotype mary sue. Most of the extended universe stuff sucks eventually it’ll get the retcon bat if they ever try to do something serious with the comics/novels other than crossovers and one-shots by random writers.
Kill glands, psychics, cyborg xenomorphs, assimilation viruses, superpowers, humans physically overpowering xenomorphs or predators, it gets really trashy.
Its very hard to put humans in predator armor without making them the equivalent of a power ranger. The comics don’t care about it looking stupid & people half naked with a biomask on because they’re comics. Scavenger Nolan was about as grounded as it gets without looking absurd and i’m glad they didn’t have him fighting Royce with wristblades and a caster. Lex used a crafted spear because she didn’t have a gun nor did she pull any mary sue shit on the queen like machiko does. She is a human being with a stick and has to rely on her human being intelligence.

Judas Priest! This is you!
Please read the older posts more more carefully. But here we go again…
The tapes aren’t specific to which class were killed, other than CH being a Youngblood. Could be anything. But for the sake of a story, there could be higher ups killed.
Who’s Dave?
Read carefully, please. The entire point of Egyptian doing stuff is to kill Dutch and try to wipe out the OWLF, but since the Preds don’t know how much humans know, they’d have to begin cautiously.
Yes. Harrison Ford suggested that Han Solo remain in Carbonite so that the galactic civil war would have actual consequences to the main characters. Kylo Ren killing him cemented that idea and simultaneously took Ren to a higher level of villain.
Just think about this: No one ever snarkily joked at or about Darth Vader. They knew it was a death sentence if you even sneezed wrong around him. Meanwhile Poe Dameron is being a smart ass right to Rens “face” whilst restrained on an enemy ship. He didn’t take him that seriously. Cant have that stuff with Predator. They always should be scary to the characters.
How the hell should I know? Digimon is retarded.
Just because something is popular doesn’t make it “good.” (I.e. Justin Bieber and Billy Ray Cyrus. Both very popular in each of their times and they’re both shit.)
Nothing in Avp comics is canon at all. Even if it had been, dark horse retconned it, and Marvel will be starting from scratch. Kiss Mashito goodbye.
As many as are necessary to take out the trash. 4 armed Preds? Gotta go.
This is a make-beleive series, not a movie. Every series wants to have multiple seasons. For an action Sci-fi show, a cliffhanger is fine.
Matter of opinion. With the Walking dead, you’d be correct. They’re guilty of over-hanging every single detail for several seasons. However, the Mandalorian does it juuuuuuust right. Thats the sweet spot.
They listen to Shamans story about the guy who tracked CH to his own ship and killed him 1 on 1 and walked away from it. So, yes, they’d think he’s the bees knees.
I wrote that they could hone in on some semblance of signal and land there. And they still dont know who the OWLF is. To them, they’re just a group of people at or near a Pred signal. Its their only option. Nuff said.
They don’t have to get an entire missile, just the warhead. They could get several on board.
Stop being a Doug Downer. Never said they’d win a battle.
No, but for the sake of the story, Dutch and co. could be stationed at the main base with all the data archives.
I’m not a writer. Just some guy. And I refuse to watch Dark Fate. It looked awful. And my trusted reviewer friend confirmed my suspicions.
Don’t be Comic Book Guy.
I feel Nolan was the perfect way to show a human using Pred tech.
If both the Rock and Terry Crews were in a Predator series or film, that’d be nice.

Jason Momoa would be a perfect fit too
Pass on Mimosa. Aqua-bro can stay in the DCU. Unless he takes acting lessons from Daniel Day Lewis.
Some one can’t take criticism over their overly fan fictional idea.
Yes but Elders Don’t typically hunt humans
It’s a reference to red dwarf where EVERYONE IS DEAD DAVE. Literally. Predators have so much advance tech they don’t use in hunts we’re dead.
They have giant space ship lasers and mech suits they’re not a threat.
Sounds like the problem was that he was a smart ass which stoked Kylo as a joke.
BOOOOO
Wait so quality writing doesn’t matter? Or are you saying because this isn’t a real show it can’t be critisized? Because that’s essentially what your point it.
You don’t need cliffhangers to continue the story.
No objective. By leaving a cliffhanger you force the story to rely on that of another.
Got a clip?
That’s contrived.
Ya but from that point on Harrigan would be pointless I.E no Harrigan notes.
One nuke launched at most at the Pred planet
With no back up. That’s not a good government.
Do you want feedback or an echo chamber of applause?
CRAP ON A CRACKER!! WHO THE FUCK CARES??? ITS A FAKE SHOW I MADE UP YESTERDAY TO SAY THAT TERRY CREWS AND ARNOLD COULD BE IN A PREDATOR SHOW TOGETHER AND IT COULD BE COOL!! And here’s comic book guy Doug Downer to shit on a humorous idea cuz it gets him/her off. (Heaving sigh…) God, I hate the internet.
But they could. Fake show. Who cares, Doug?
I still don’t get it. No idea what red dwarf is. It must not matter.
No mech suits!!! To be retconned out of existence! Bad mech suits! Bad!!
Its a problem in all of today’s films. Everyone has to be a Snark.
I tried to watch that, Pokémon, YuGiOh, all that shit with my nephew when he was a boy. It was awful. Mind-numbingly boring and I love Godzilla movies, so that should really say something.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ TERRY CREWS. ARNOLD. TOGETHER. IN. A. PREDATOR. PROJECT. THATS. ALL. ITS NOT REAL. JUST A STUPID, FUN IDEA, NOT A GODDAMNED PITCH FOR DISNEY!! HOW IS THIS NOT CRYSTAL FUCKING CLEAR AT THIS POINT?!?!?!?!?!?
Of course not, but its ok to.
Ever hear the idea of “Always leave them wanting more?”
End of several episodes in both seasons. Go watch. Its a good show.
Matter of opinion.
Maybe. Would depend on the direction of the conversation THAT HASN’T BEEN WRITTEN AND WON’T BE, FFS! I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I’VE ACTUALLY DRAGGED THIS OUT FOR THIS LONG!!! WAY TO SUCK THE FUN OUT OF A FUN TOPIC, DOUG!
Could launch all at once if there were multiple torpedo tubes, which there could be because ITS A FAKE SPACESHIP, YOU CAN MAKE IT HOWEVER YOU WANT TO, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "“GOOD” GOVERNMENT? You think there’s such a thing? Dang, well, let me be the first to piss on that particular bowl of corn flakes. There ain’t no good government. Not now. Not in the future.
On the idea of Arnold and Crews headlining a Predator project. That’s all. That was it. But I blame myself for this, I really do. I should never have thought, " haha, this is a fun idea. No one could possibly take this show idea seriously. The dialogue here is what matters. No one could POSSIBLY read WAAAAYYYYYYYY too deep into this or let their (possibly unhealthy) attachment to Arnold take over their mind and drag this little subject into THE SECOND MOST POINTLESS DISCUSSION I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Nope. Not gonna happen. It’ll be fine…" What a fool I was.
