11 Movie Sequels That Turned Badasses Into Total Wimps

6. Predator - AVP

While the decision to bring Predator to the city for the much-maligned sequel with Danny Glover wasn't the best, it was made to look comparatively genius when the franchise came together with the Alien universe to pit two of Hollywood's most enduringly popular extra-terrestrials against each other.

Where the inter-stellar hunters had once been cunning, tactical killing machines for the first two movies, they were reimagined as hulking, idiotic space morons, muscle-bound and unrefined. Yes, they weren't the finished article, but the fundamental story approach meant AVP was basically the American Pie of the Predator film universe, with the stalkers looking to pop their cherries with some choice Xenomorph tail.

Up to this point the Predators were resourceful, efficient weapons of mass destruction, but in AVP they are completely blunted and the final insult comes when the last surviving alien teams up with a human - am explorer, not a warrior - to get his killing done.
