The teaser looks bad.

I'm getting a lot of AVP2 vibes from it.

:patrice:

Rumoured plot and details

Predators apparently steal spines not because of a tribal tradition but because they use them to merge their DNA with them for strength so all Predators contain human DNA and are human/alien hybrids.

:why:

:snoop:

Nooo. Why do they do stupid shyt like this? :mindblown:

So they

are taking one of the coolest fukking aspects of the predator (trophy hunters that rip out spines because it's fukking bad ass) and they're trying to expand on that and make it something deeper?

Hollywood, listen....monsters are scarier in the dark. I don't want to know how the fukking Xenomorphs came to exist. They're more bad ass and scarier when they actually are...alien...I know, crazy concept. Predators are way more intense when their only motivation is to kill for sport, and not when you suddenly make them half human after decades of established canon.

:camby:

I'm not sure which franchise will be disgraced more between this bullshyt and Alien:Covenant once it's all said and done.
It's really insane, right?

What's crazy to me is realizing that 3 of my favorite movies of all time (Alien, Aliens, Predator) have spawned like almost 10 sequels/prequels between them, and the first Predator and the first 2 Alien movies are really the only good movies of the bunch. Some of the rest are decent, and there are some good moments in some of the bad and average follow-ups, but for the most part 3 movies were able to hold up 2 franchises for decades. If you throw Terminator in there as well, you could throw all 3 franchises together and say that there are only 5 great movies out of what, 15 follow ups across those franchises?

I don't know if I'm being hypercritical or not, but I feel like I could think of some dope ideas for Predator sequels. How is it so difficult to come up with something dope? Predators was kinda cool, but this looks like they're just going in a terrible direction, back towards AVP Requiem.

:smh: Why do humans have to be the center of everything? Why couldn't the Predator race evolve on its own without human interference?

This is starting to sound like the worst of all Predator movies.

Same for me. I love the OG Predator, Alien and Aliens but man Fox has ruined those franchises with so many subpar followups and sequels. Even when brought together they couldn't get it right. They were on the right track with Predators but even this new trailer feels flimsy and looks like AVP2. I just don't get why they have to throw drama in these movies with human interactions and the Predator being an afterthought until he focuses on the human characters. As much as I liked Shane Black's movies he aint what he use to be and I have little faith about this movie the same as Ridley Scott who just keeps making worse sequels to his Alien franchise.

I feel like they had something going after Predators with Adrian Brody, so to this direction has me like :patrice:.

I’m not gonna say it’s Duck Sauce yet, but that trailer didn’t really get me as juiced as I would have liked.

Olivia Munn freaky ass tho....:steviej:
Predators was great. Never understood why they never followed that one up with a sequel.

They just showed a trailer for this during The Finals...was not feeling it at all. Some of the casting is :scusthov:

The new trailer is better than the first one they put out last month but that is really not saying much.
I was really excited for this movie but the more I see of it the less excitement I have.
