I think this is a great movie, I really loved its animation style, but the story and how it's becoming a whole universe, That's what he liked most. I like that the creators finally address the origin of the Predators, and gave their civilization a name. Also, like you, the ending impacted me. It's clear we'll have a story to tell for a long time.
Yep, it really is a superb animated film. I admit that i avoided it for a while, convinced that it would be something boring, made only for children. But one day, out of curious boredom, i said: let's watch a cartoon too. And surprise — it's a cartoon for older children 😁
And by the way, this month it seems that there is a new Predator movie coming out. Something that seems to be directly derived from this animation. If the animation opened up the mythology, maybe the film will ritualize it. It's called Predator: Badlands and it premieres on November 7, 2025. Although it's not a direct sequel, Badlands seems to pull the thread from exactly the same direction: the Yautja civilization, their internal code, selection through exile and honor.
I think this will be the most exciting installment in the entire Predator franchise. Not just for the style, but for how it opens up the mythology.
