Only this time, the Predator will find a new worthy adversary among the Comanche tribe. That would have defeated the Predator.Director Dan Trachtenberg aims to take the Predator franchise back to its roots with Prey, releasing on Hulu on August 5. ![]() Doesn't matter how strong you are in those, the harder you struggle, the deeper you sink and die. Then defeated the Predator by luring him into the quicksand/mud pit trap. Instead of the Predator being so inept with how his weapons work, she should have just stolen the mask and buried it somewhere to remove his ability to fire. I think instead of the bullshit flower petals making your body cold enough not to be picked up on thermals, she should have figured out the trick with his sight by accidentally getting covered in mud like the original. ![]() But some of the things were poorly executed or fleshed out. I was really loving the movie in the beginning, it was really good. Then proceeded to kill the bear by opting not to wrestle with it again, and instead side-step dodged and punched it so hard in the head, it died. He wrestled a fucking bear and barely lost in terms of strength. He could have easily crushed her windpipe with his grip alone. There shouldn't have been a scene where the Predator had her by the throat, at that point it's game over. The way the protagonist "figured out" the Predator couldn't see due to low body heat felt low effort mental gymnastics. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but am I really supposed to believe a Predator doesn't know how his own fucking weapon operates? The way it was defeated was stupid. It was pretty good at first, but towards the end had some stupid parts in it that took me out of the movie. I'm really hoping this movie returns to how scary the Predator originally was, and how no normal human could stand any hope or chance when attacking one head on. Yet these newer movies often have some average looking person going toe-toe with one of these fuckers, and I always instantly get thrown out of the movie because of it. Which isn't at all surprising when you're dealing with a humanoid who can literally rip out your fuckin' spine with their bare hands.Īrnold, despite being built like a tank, had to rely on his wits with traps in the first Predator, and was treated like a ragdoll being thrown around effortlessly even as a guy his size. The first one featured Arnold's character and a team of battle-hardened soldiers, and none of them stood a chance against the Predator in hand-to-hand combat. ![]() My biggest issue with pretty much all of the movies that came after Predator is how they trivialised the Predator's strength. ![]() I hope the new Blade movie lives up to and exceeds the importance it had with the creation of the MCU. And we has the birth of the behemoth that is the MCU. Everything else was made for TV mediocrity at its best because of production values.Īfter Blade, we had the first X-men trilogy, the first Spiderman trilogy, the first Fantastic Four movies. Then Blade came in and made a lot of money relative to its production costs, inspiring both Marvel and Vampire IP to be looked at more diligently for source material.īefore Blade, the last major Marvel film was Howard the Duck more than a decade and change earlier. But before Blade, Hollywood wouldn't touch Marvel materials, thinking that the only comic book characters that would do OK in the box office were just Batman and Superman and comic book storyline would only do so-so with the general public. Obviously the blade franchise isn't traditional super hero movies.
