To be honest I think the best prequel storyline they could have done was when jh 87 wiped out Jim hopper and his crew and have that version ending when Dutch’s chopper is dropping in

The problem I have with the “Predator/villan should win” idea is that if you wanted a film like that, go watch Alien Covenant and see how dogshit it is. It was never about the Predator, yet they are the draw these days rather than the human stories more or less today. Human stories are important, but the moment you remove it to make it about the Predator, you now have to “humanize” the Predator by giving it a character which is extremely harder said than done if you want em to kill humans all day since there probably won’t be a human/like foil to em otherwise than a bitter rival or target.
It’s almost like the disconnect that Godzilla “Fans” these days have, focusing on the “monster action” than the human to monster parallels that made them so great in the first place.
Yea, Infinity War pulls this off well but it also made Thanos a likeable character since he was given traits that landed well. It’d be harder to do that with a crabface that can only speak in phrases.

I want it to succeed, but it’ll depend on how they build naru up. If they don’t make her super human jus because she’s a girl then it could be good maybe be on par with Ripley. If they make her a “strong, independant woman, lgbtq, person of color, who don’t need no man to fight off a an alien and still have time to fight climate change” then we can just have a burial for the predator franchise.
The predator design matters to me, but if the movies badass and the predator design is bad or just ok then i can overlook it, but the movies gotta be good. If the movie is trash then whether the predator looks badass or not it still won’t carry the entire movie if it sucks.
Hoping for a KO tho

I really hope this new movie is good so we can get more sequels, and doesn’t turn out like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series with the last film being one of the worst.

Yes good points I was just saying as a prequel idea the jh 87 against Jim hopper would be at least a decent idea

Oh yea i heard how that went and it sounded terrible. Now a days there’s rarely good movies being made the most recent good ones were spider man no way home, black phone, the northman, and im sure I’m forgetting a few more, but the point being before badass movies were coming out left and right in every genre and now you have to go through shit movies to find a good one.
To be honest the original
Predator movie was intended as a horror flik
Yep
You mean “flop” in the economical sense, or in the quality sense?
Because a movie can be an economic flop but still a great film, or being a hit at the box office but being a crappy movie (a thing that happens really too often recently)…
Personally I have good expectations, I’m convinced by almost everything overall, so I’ll say
“It will be a good movie, but will do modesty economically”
Its nothing new, or innovative. They butchered the mystery behind the pred so much since pred 2 its been downhill like the economy.

ripley wasnt ducking and dodging the xenomorph with an axe in hand lel
she can dodge hits arnie couldn’t because she fully levelled dex and trained in the way of the ninja
I don’t think it can succeed with the day one formula of ‘pred come to earth to hunt, kills a bunch of folks, dies’. Gotta change it up. It might not be a failure even if it preforms poorly at box office tho
pred comes to earth, kills bear!, kills dog!, kills a bunch of people, dies!
