This is the badass who is supposed to fight the Predator? This scrawny chick is supposed to compare to Arnold and Glover? Good God I need a stiff drink of firewater.
I've said it before but the whole premise sounds like some dumb coming-of-age teen drama rather than a Predator movie. This is the plot to a dumb teen/indie drama like Whale Rider rather than a Predator movie.Well it's going to double down on the identity politics : https://boundingintocomics.com/2021...the-gender-norms-and-traditions-of-her-tribe/
In a proper Predator movie the girl would be introduced as an established warrior in her tribe and it would seg-way into her and her band fighting the Predator. Predator 2 didn't spend anytime with Danny Glover bitching about racism in the LAPD, it started with him lining his car windows with bulletproof vests so he could shoot Colombian drug dealers and rescue some wounded cops in the middle of a firefight. The Predator series is not a series where racism and sexism are any part of it, women are accepted fighters alongside the men. In Predator 2 the lady cop is ready to shoot the Predator after he has torn the subway apart and the only reason she lives is because shes pregnant and the Predator has a code of honor not to harm the defenseless, if she hadn't been pregnant he probably would have torn her head off and made her skull into a trophy.
The guerilla girl from the first Predator and the Israeli sniper from Predators are treated as equals by their male counterparts. Even the mountain climber chick from Alien vs Predator gets respect from the men, the Predator makes a shield out of a Xenomorph head and gives her his spear to help him kick alien ass. The fact they are making this film "woke" shows they don't understand the Predator franchise which has already had individuals of every race and gender fight the Predator and work together despite their skin color and winding up as prey for the alien hunter. Billy from the first Predator was a Native American but he fought honorably and had his skull taken as a trophy because he chose to fight the Predator one on one. King Willlie was a black man but he fought the Predator in an honorable duel and had his skull taken as a trophy. Predators had a pretty kick-ass realistic kendo duel with katanas between a Japanese Yakuza man and a Predator and it was the best part of the movie. Point is that in trying to make the next Predator movie "woke' they are ignoring how progressive the franchise has been over the years where race and gender take a backseat to charismatic actors fighting an alien hunter.
