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

From the very beginning Predator was made for general audiences.
Even Prey was quite weak as a horror movie.
And when you break down story plots, there are really only 1 or 2 dozen. At all. Literally every good story could be told in some other setting with different characters. And they are. There are no original stories. People have been telling stories for 100,000+ years. We found all the good ones millennia ago, and have recycled them endlessly since.
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.
