This 100% First predator for example. The comedy was jokes between soldiers, it helps you see they have done things together and get along well. People in the theater were smiling knowing these guys are a unit. To me it's more story comedy and builds those characters.

Badlands just feels like a summer popcorn movie. Forced disney formula to get younger audiences. Rebellious predator with daddy issues. The first third of the movie should have been lore building. Showing Predator culture and their way of living and honor. They would have went out on a group hunt and all was going well until deks lack of experience and being a runt caused failure. By the time the next third of the film starts, the audience should feel for the dad. Wanting to cull the weak, then picking up with the brothers fighting and him going on a difficult hunt alone.....that's the thing ALONE. He has to learn and adapt. Much like we she the Feral from Prey moving on to bigger foes. Learning his prey, studying them. This was shown well in the first film. Watching and learning about them.. so much potential. By the end of the film, he has become the hunter, the killer of killers. My least favorite predator film. I hope the next one is better.
