This will bethe creature never "made" the first film/franchise like the creature in "Alien" did. It was Arnold and co.
Nah this is crazy, the Stan Winston-designed alien is one of the most memorable things about the movie

Nah, in Predators they don't acknowledge or mention the original or Predator 2. They also have no bearing on Predators. No actors from the first two films are involved. They use the same setting as the first, put a bunch of "gun specialists" in a jungle and have them get hunted down by re-designed predators. It was essentially a reboot/remake. They even remade the "CONTACT" scene in the movie.
They even had a guy using a minigun like Bill Duke's did
Rodriguez wanted it to be a sequel to the OG seems like its a bit of both a sequel and reboot. Mcfly is right about it being what Aliens was to Alien. At least that was Rodriguez plan .

Did u see the predator design before Stan Winston the gawd laced it?
Predator is probably one of the illest designed character/alien I've ever seen.

"Alien" doesn't work without the creature. "Predator" doesn't work without Arnold.

They do acknowledge it breh. The Latino chick talks about the special forces squad in South America that first encountered the creature.
Isabelle: We don't have a name for them. '87, Guatemala. A spec ops team went into the jungle. High end. Six men plus a CIA liaison. Only one made it out. In his debrief, he said they came in contact with something. He gave a detailed description. The thing on the totem. It wore some kind of camouflage that adjusted to ambient light. Made it nearly invisible in our spectrum. It could see in infrared. Heat signatures. He used mud to block his. That's how he beat it. It hunted and killed his team, one by one.

Aliens vs Arnold?
The predator is still essential to the movie. Or else there wouldn't, y'know, be a movie.
Predator at this point is more essential to the movie than Arnold. It's not like terminator where you identify him because he is the terminator. When I think of predator I think of the creature first. You get a rag tag group of rumble tumble nikkas in the jungle ready to take him out
Don't get me wrong, one of the reasons Predator works so well is because the cast itself is so iconic. It's like action movie mythology. Adrien Brody doesn't have the same image or icon status as Arnold or Carl Weathers.
Yeah no doubt but I'm saying at THIS point the creature has become the selling point and the more lasting part of the franchise. Once they built a mythology around it and of course Stan Winston's overall dopeness continued, the predator is the star. I don't know if I want to see Arnold as an over the hill Dutch when I'd much rather see the rock leading a group of rag tag cats
"Aliens" is a direct continuation of the first film and features a character from the first film who is integral to the plot.
Predators was a reboot. The story of "Predator" has no bearing on "Predators". "Predators" would work even if "Predator" didn't exist. As I said before they even re-designed the look of the creature(even "Alien vs Predators" didn't do that).
"Aliens" did not copy then setting of the first film. It did not recreate a bunch of scenes from the original. It did not copy the structure of the first film.
Adrian Brody even tried to imitate Arnold
