Back to the Fated Four vs Les Quatre Condamnés, it is a near-litteral translation but i feel the meaning was accidentally reversed by the french team.

"Fated Four" sounds like four calamities that were inevitable, who play the role of four rivals to the hunters, so they are the threat.

"Les Quatre Condamnés" (The Four Condemned Ones) sounds like four beasts that everyone wants dead, and hunters are supposed to be their executioners, so they are the one threatened.
