So species are not allowed to evolve?

Imagine humans being criticised for getting implants or using technology to enhance their hearing or eyesight?

Imagine if humans never evolve in their advances to be better

Yes but they've been hunting humans for hundreds of years. Only now do they use human DNA to enhance themselves?
 
Eyesight for one
If they can have human eyes they will be less vulnerable.

Also lungs, predator 2 he had a lot of trouble bleeding.

Arnold beat the crap out of predator 1 because of bad vision


Pred 2 was choking due to pollution


Maybe they just developed the technology to manipulate dna
 
The real problem with this movie, as I see it, is the new concept that the Predators hunt humans for their DNA so they can use it to genetically enhance themselves.
In the original script the whole thing is about alien homeworld gettin' cooled down and them planin' to settle on Earth when global warming destroys our civilization. So keepin' that in mind, the DNA enhancement kinda sorta makes sense if they wanna move in sometime in the future. But it is still very much the "I spit on your franchise' grave" move. Considering the tech they has and the fact that they just fly around and hunt other species for fun... If they had such a serious problem they'd just terraform some planet nearby.

Shane Blek is a troll.

My impression was they were trophy hunters....not ecologists.

The mentality was only the strong survive. And that weeds out the weaker Predators.

So if they are in competition with themselves (as in Predators) then they would try to use any advantage they could. So it could make sense. Maybe the honor part is they have to beat the prey consistently to learn what advantages they have?

Is this one of your crows things or are you serious?
 
Are the people here completely oblivious as to the fact we got a movie 8 years ago called Predators that featured a trio of Predator bad bloods that had been exiled for genetically enhancing themselves, seeking power and not caring about honor that also went on to a graphic novel that also featured more genetically altered predators to a more extreme extent? And that this was all canon And that this movie idea was taken from comics that had existed for years prior to that movie?

These Predators enhancing themselves are not the Prior Predator clans changing their behavior, there is and has always been rogue predator groups that seek power over honor. Its mind blowing to see people act like they are outraged about the direction of the creature and that this is a totally new concept thats crapping all over the past while seemingly not even knowing anything outside of a casual Predator fan. The Predators in the past WERE hunting for sport, these Predators we are going to see are not of the same ideology. But thats a concept that has been in this universe for nearly a decade by this point.

So whats the shock? Did people just not follow what was going on in the franchise? And people are voicing their displeasure as edgelords but outing themselves as causal fans?
 
Liking and going in deep into anything Predator post Predator 2 is the definition of a casual fan, you might as well call yourself a Yautja fan.

Because a Predator fan you're not.

Anything past Predator 2 doesnt count? People like you have no place trying to make sense of a contemporary Predator movie then if this is the case. If you are living in the past and are unwilling to take current lore, canon and factual events in to consideration what are you doing here? We can literally make sense of the next movie right now. In fact, i did. Either stay in the past, or move on from the franchise. This is where the franchise is now, there is people who can show and point you to events that directly answer the questions you pose. But you are so egotistical your own head canon will not allow anything outside of a completely fictional scenario you have developed inside your own head to exist.
 
Whatever you say guy!
Being the cool " whatever guy" doesnt make you right. Either retort with a serious answer, or it shows you have no argument. Well, you dont have an argument. You said anything past Predator 2 doesnt count, but Predators was the 3rd movie and technically the 5th Predator movie if you take AVP into consideration.The concept of genetic enhancements has already been established. You have no argument. If you want to make sense of current events, you need to take past events into consideration. But you wont... so go back to 1990?
 
:lol

I've tried to read so many Predator and Aliens comics, the vast majority are trash.

I remember reading the fire and stone comics and couldn't get past a couple of issues they were so terribly written, they're movie tie-in tier at best, a disservice to all 3 franchises, even to Prometheus :lol

Also went back and read the original AvP comic after Riddick told me it there was one published like a year before P2, turns out the one I have, the first one, had already been published in parts in a Darkhorse Presents magazine before Predator 2 came out.

Anyway I read it, and it was, well it was awful :lol

The only one I re-read that was kinda okay was the Tarzan vs Predator one by Walter Simonson.

The comics are really nothing but cheap fan fiction for those who don't get what makes Predator great.

Good for Kenner toys tho.
 
Well, they are experts, Yautja experts that is, not Predator experts.

That honor code crap is especially cringe and trite :lol

AvP is the only movie to feature that crap. And people hated it! I was very confused by it back then, after my first watch. Which led to me searchin' for avp forums and yautja related reads. I went super casual that year... :lol
