Maybe i've missed this somewhere in this huge topic....But I hear everyone bitching about Adrian Brody not being able to be the badass of the film.....is everyone overlooking the other powerhouse characters of the film??? Danny Trejo, Lawerence Fishburne, Oleg Taktarov, etc??? Maybe Brody isn't supposed to be a brute badass but rather a tactical more precise "warrior" - there are more than enough brawn in the other characters.
The other thing I know alot of people are complaining about is the stripped down look of the preds we have seen....I personally like that, I like the idea we may get to see a badass brawl with a more "Gladiator" Style predator who doesn't rely on his plasma caster to do all his work - would love to see Trejo or Oleg get into a hand to hand brawl with one of the preds. I personally loved when the pred dropped all his armor and took on Arny with his bare hands.
One more thing I see alot is people bitching about the "Heavy" pred in the picture wearing a "weight" belt to hold in his gut - am I the only one that made the connection that he has more of a gladiator look to him??? Watch some gladiator movies...you'll see that belt on alot of them and it sure the hell isn't there to hold in a beer gut.
I know alot of people are dead set on a predator looking one way.....but why??? We here on the lair have alot of different looks, styles, color patterns, tusk lengths, crown sizes, etc. but the minute a movie throws something new out alot of you tear the idea down immediately......but your also the same people that bitch when someone else makes the same old predator and doesnt make anything original about it????
I understand being passionate about the predators.....but I see all the Predator movies as a good thing even if they did suck.....why??? Because it keeps it in the public eye and gives us all the more reason to do what we do....and as long as the public see these movies and likes them that means we all still have the chance to one day see the movie we all think could be made!!!
Here's an idea....quit bitching...sit down and write a killer script that will catch the attention of someone and get that movie made....it's not going to happen by just setting back and bitching about the guy that stood up and gave it a try. I think the lair could easily brainstorm the perfect movie based on all of our ideas....and I think the lair has enough pull and connections to get a script out to someone who can either do something about it, or get it to someone that can!!!
Have a great day
