Predator: Badlands - AMAZING! BUT!? - Angry Trailer Reaction!

Quick Overview

The "Predator: Badlands" trailer is "AMAZING!" and "nerd []" for the speaker, featuring a Predator as the main character on its "first hunt" with a synthetic supporting character, which is a "cool" and unexpected direction for the franchise, despite some design concerns for the Predator and potential misdirection regarding the "apex predator."

Key Points: The "Predator: Badlands" trailer features a Predator as the main character on its "first hunt" and a synthetic as a supporting character, a direction the speaker finds "so [] cool" and unexpected for the franchise. The synthetic character, from "Wayan Utani bioweapons division," appears to have "two personalities" and gets "ripped in half," suggesting reboots or multiple models, and is involved in capturing dangerous creatures. The trailer introduces a "definitive apex predator" or "Kaiju" that Wayan Utani is attempting to "harvest or clone," leading the speaker to suspect a misdirection that it might be a Xenomorph, given the "perfect predators organisms" dialogue. The Predator's technology appears "rudimentary," featuring a "bow and arrow" and a "cool vibrlade," suggesting it is either earning its stripes on its "first hunt" or is an "outcast" trying to get back in. The speaker expresses concern that the film, which feels "tailor made for nuts on predators and aliens," might not perform well with "normies" or general audiences. The film includes Easter eggs like a skull resembling an "Independence Day" alien and a "mech" reminiscent of Ripley's power loader from "Aliens," indicating strong ties to the broader Fox sci-fi universe.

Context: The speaker, a self-proclaimed fan of the "Predator universe" and "Aliens universe," reacts to the new "Predator: Badlands" official trailer, noting that the previous trailer looked "surprisingly good." The film is directed by the director of "Prey" and centers on a Predator's "first hunt" on a "most dangerous planet" with a synthetic companion from the "Wayan Utani bioweapons division."
