Predator 5 is fucked already and I'm heartbroken.
Donât you think that less we know about the Predators the better?
Disney Channel original sitcom for kids. Completely in Predatorsâ language. No subs.
Before the predator and I would agreed , but after? They retconned the whole lore?

It could be done subtlety, they wouldnât need to do it documentary style . Just flesh it out enough to put some weight behind the hunt since after predator 2 they havenât really done the franchise justice . Predators was pretty good if you watch it for what it is , I get sometimes less is more with story telling but I think if you have invested into any of the comics etc? You pretty much know alot of the backstory . So why not put it to screen ? After 87 and 90 the suspense wasnât really there , so I dont see why not ? We all know what they are and look like? They arenât mysterious anymore , so do them some justice and show its not climate change and weaponised autism
Nope. Case in point: What happened to the Alien:
The main issue for me with those prequels though is they just destroy the mystery and enigmaticness of the Alien. Now we know (according to Ridley Scott) theyâre the mashup product of a race of bald aliens who dress in cloaks and live on a very dull, neoclassical looking planet, and a disgruntled sociopathic android who fancies himself as Laurence of Arabia.
Agreed. Let them retain their otherworldliness and mystery. We really donât need to know much more than theyâre a bunch of intergalactic hunters who like to safari on earth.
Also, as much as I like the guy, we donât need Arnold shoe-horned into any future Pred movies. Hasnât exactly worked out well for the Terminator films has it!
You cant paint one franchise in a certain way because of how another was portrayed, alien covenant over dived , they can learn from that . Iâm not saying retcon the shit out of it and tell us where they came from etc , Iâm talking about establishing what the hunt is and add some weight to them as a whole . Keep away from the Adam and eve of yautja đ just show us the process of the hunt and keep it at that
Problem is, your suggestion sounds fine in theory, but I think it would require great film makers and script writers to make it work - something the Pred movies donât have the luxury of.
I mean, Shane Black has made great films, but even he managed to fuck up The Predator, by trying to incorporate lots of superfluous shit nobody wanted or needed, all in the name of expanding the Predator lore.
Better to keep things relatively simple and stick to a âhunter/huntedâ tense thriller/horror setup similar to the first film. Focus on the look and the feel of the movie. The first film didnât become the iconic classic it is because of its âplotâ - It struck lucky with the right combination of a great first-time Director, charismatic cast, superb score, atmospheric location, and incredible SFX and creature work.
Thats the problem aswell that I stated , the first movie was build alot on the unknown , the suspense isnât the same after 87 , pred 2 handled it as well as they could and predators too . Its a problem from the beginning is they donât have the same element of surprise and unknown
But, I mean, we can just kind of ignore the Predator. I mean, even Disney can ignore it in their continuity.
That would probably be for the best đ , it doesnât sound like they have learnt from it though . Time will tell
Yeah, it is an issue. Another factor that made the first film so great is that, well, it was the first, and nobody had seen the Predator before. Itâs always diminishing returns after that.
Anyway, Hollywood just needs to use my template for a good rollicking Pred movie. Guaranteed blockbuster:
âŚThis is similar to my basic recipe for a good Predator movie. Apart from the basics like having it be a stalking, survivalist horror type of movie, they should have two opposing Human factions battling each other (Allied vs Nazi, US Troops vs Taliban, sane people vs Qanons etc) insert Predator, then after the Pred has inflicted casualties on both sides, have the remaining few come together to try to defeat the Pred.
I dont know , I think the qanon horn wearing guy would be too much for a yautja , with his special gluten diet and failed acting career
Gender norms + female + pred movie = pr meme

Iâll tell you what you are, youâre a cheat that lost to me in Street Fighter. How can you live with yourself? Huh?
Sorry, that is wrong, the predator does not hunt a pray that is to weakâŚ
