Apocalypto with predators

Is my guess. in all fairness if anyone can get "on the same level" it would be a hunter tribe who would be far more sensitive to the natural "footprint" and presence of an aggressive predator. and ability to hunt it.

although theyd be at a technological disadvantage it was "going native" in Predator 1 like masking his heat signature with mud (could work for smell too) and primitive traps that hurt the predator.

It would be a lot more believable if it was a badass tribe led by a guy rather than some tiny girl. although i'm not going to get triggered and scream "wokeness!" til I see it

i'm guessing there will be a group of bad ass warrior men and she is with them when the predator is hunting them, they all get killed off and she is left to fight alone.

Nothing will appease the anti-woke snowflakes of course, but from the looks of it, they've got the protagonist doing things a young girl could do (vs. Heidi Moneymaker throwing around huge men like rag dolls)

THAT would be ENORMOUSLY refreshing in my view, and would further go a long way to explain the Predator species's fascination with us. We're weaker than other prey, less technologically advanced than the Predators themselves, BUT we're sneaky and ingenious when we know we're being hunted.

And THAT places us high on their list of favorite big game.

I could get behind that as a notion. And the primary films seem to bear it out (excepting Shane Black's travesty - who'd have thought that a master of gimmicky action and clever plotting could've messed up a series that he himself acted in?)
