If I could do one of those flow charts, it would be simple:
"Does your Predator movie have Arnold playing Dutch?"
If the answer is yes -- "Go ahead and make that movie"
If the answer is no -- "Do not make this movie"
The property itself isn't what made that movie great. Arnold achieving 'Peak Arnold' in a pack of alpha males and fighting a ****ing alien is what made that movie great.
You're not going to recapture that by putting a guy who's about the size of the average american in Camo, handing him a gun and telling Key to crack a few jokes.
I don't understand why studios keep thinking they're going to bring this back.
