The flexible Predator franchise has changed alongside its longtime Alien counterpart, with fewer classics but more eccentricity.

Yeah they break it down In literature class all the story tropes. Even James Cameron avatar is very much retelling of other stories. I liked badlands but I didnt leave theaters high fiving everyone like I did Prey. I would point out specific issues I had but im keeping vague to avoid spoilers. But I will say for everything I would harp on they did more things I liked about the movie.

Personally i think some executive forced the bad choices. Cause it felt like Disney influences at the end of the movie.
