made sense to me
Your face makes no sense lmao
Low test crisis is real
>>217356803Yep
>>217356729What confused you?
>>217356818He has no chance with no gear to beat the predator
that was the perfect place to ambush the Yajuita.the tree crossing the gorge.
>>217356860That's just what the Predator wants you to think.
>>217356803>bro im high test, i understand what the soldiers from movies felt when risking their lives
>>217356729maybe if you're a woman
You just don't understand Native American culture.
>>217356729You are woman.
>>217356890It's funny that this is a meme answer but also true.
>>217356860He knows
>>217356729It's a metaphor.Predator = buffed up ICE agentBilly = innocent justice fighter with basic gear
>>217356911And you do? Prove it to me faggot, I'll wait.
He denied the Predator first blood, basically insulting/taunting it so its attention is on him and not the others.
>>217356729This is a combination of 2 troupes in media The Noble SavageThe Blind Swordsman The idea is lose one sense, the others become stronger. (Ex. Daredevil, Luke and the blast visor)Also since the character is native it implies that he knows some sort of ancient savage martial arts survival trick. Then the movie does a classic bait and switch "lolol top zozzle jk he just got wrecked" now i agree. Sorta retarded. The movie was building up a hand to hand grudge match. But that was the directors intent.Subvert the trope of the noble savage and blind swordsman into a juvenile bait and switch.
>>217356803He screamed like a bitch, though
>>217357005Those tropes are juvenile to begin with. The subversion draws you back to reality. Also it's not played for laughs.
>>217356978Fire water makes me beat my wife.>>217357005>Juvenile bait and switch.It emphasizes that the Predator does not care about honor and is impossible to stand up to in a physical 1-on-1, setting things up for Arnie needing to use clever planning and dirty tricks to win in the end. It's a subversion, sure, but hardly juvenile.
>>217356860Arnold beat it in a cave with a box of scraps.
>>217357079in islam you don't need fire water to beat your wifehttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/v5ruO_Its6Ecome to islam and be happy
>>217356860It was a sacrifice, you nonce.
>>217357021As would you and everyone else here
>>217356729take a veiny one in your mouth
>>217356729Maybe for you. Because you're not a REAL MAN!
>>217356729t. honourless dog
>>217356729it's basically tradition in a Predator movie to have one really cool enigmatic character you completely waste who does something like this just before dying unceremoniously
>>217356895nice self report
The Predator wasn't anywhere near him, the drunken redskin slipped and fell of the log.
Rust would have beaten the Yajita
>>217357128that was really boring and gay
>>217357128But I LIKE the fire water!
>Predator cuts off your legs as trophies and leaves you alive
>>217357079It's only the second movie that codifies "Predators are le epic noble warriors who only fight equals in combat", in the entire first film he's just killing humans from behind the entire time. The only times it gets sporting are when he's against Billy and then Dutch at the end.It's funnier to imagine Billy assuming the Predator will fight him mano a mano because he thinks it's like a noble Indian hunter and it just sees him and thinks "lmao fuck this guy I'll blow him up with a laser"
>>217357182>His foundation lies in the Holy Mountain. Selah
>>217357182That guy didn’t die unceremoniously. He succeeded in killing one of the predators but he was mortally wounded.
>>217357784the way Predator 2 did it was actually cool in the sense that they deliberately wouldn't kill anything that wasn't a fair target, like him sparing the pregnant womanthe later movies watering this down to "le epic noble warriors" was what was stupid
>>217357827This was the same alley where Kyle Reese took the pants off that derelict.
>>217356729 HEYO HEYO HEYO HEYA HEYO HEYA
>>217357784Yeah, the first Predator is a total cunt. He's not an honorable warrior, he's a big game hunter, and a sadistic one at that. He kills people from range while invisible, even going so far as to shoot them in the back. He mocks people with the voices of their dead friends. He blows himself up just to get in one last laugh. Even his mano a mano fight with Arnold comes off less as honorable and more like the ultimate form of disrespect. It's like an MMA fighter bare-knuckle brawling a ten year old. He's just doing it for fun, and in the end he isn't really defeated by Arnold but rather by hubris.
>>217357827>You don't see the eyes of the demon... until him come callin'.
>>217356877They can jump like 20 feet in the air
>>217357134No, Im a sexual Tyrannosaurus, would look the Predator in the face and say: what the hell are you?
RIP
>>217358735>Sneaky Mac spots the cloaked predator first and has the drop on it>Noisy ass Dillon ghosts him and gets both of them killed
>>217356729Have you ever met an Indian dude? It makes perfect sense.
movies women will never understand
i love this prairie nigga
>>217357784>>217358712ThisI prefer the image of them being assholes from space hunting sentient beings WAY below their tech level.
>>217356803>I will kill this alien bastard real good>1 minute later>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>217356729fun fact: before Predator, Sonny Landham was a porn actor starring in many pornos.
>>217358712I like this idea of the Predator better: on his home planet, he’s just an average "white collar" or a spoiled rich guy who goes on safari hunts of “lesser” species for fun, rather than coming from some Klingon-Spartan–style tribal warrior culture that somehow managed to achieve interstellar travel.
>>217356860>I only fight if there's zero possibility I can lose!Sounds great in theory, but in practice, it means you can almost never fight, which means all you can do is retreat, and when that doesn't work, you simply get surrounded and killed. It's better to lose than to just be a useless coward and call it "strategy."
>>217356729It was his swan song moment where he sacrificed himself to die like a warrior, while buying time for Arny. That was the underlying message warriors vs. warriors. Very campy action movie tropes.
>>217356895Yes
>>217356992That is not how that works
>>217356729He wanted to fight/die like a warrior instead of dying while escaping like a little bitch. I've always understood the predator reciprocated to fight on equal terms, but we don't get to see that . Sorry if everyone was trolling i don't get zoomer sense of humour
>>217356953>with basic gearOh yeah, he just picked up that knife at the local Dollar Tree store.
>You think you're as tough as Arnold?! Arnold is a man of focus, commitment, sheer will. Something you know very little about. I once saw Arnold kill an alien predator in a jungle... with a pencil. With a fucking pencil!
>>217359250yes, but only dots. not feathers.
>>217356729brown people seldom do make sense
>>217357827I love the transition from that shot to the predator carrying his head
>>217356729Made perfect sense to me, guy wanted a 1v1>>217356860He had a chance, it just wasn't a large one. Guy wanted to bet on that chance anyway, based.
>>217356729the creature was hunting down his team, his honor as a warrior called him to challenge the creature, he made a noble sacrifice to buy time for the other survivors to escape and dueled the creature, he died a manthe blood drawing is just a old timey thing where "if blood is drawn, it will be a fight to the death", by drawing his own blood he is signalling to the creature that this is a fight to the deaththe creature accepts his challenge and murks himnot much to get, the creature humiliated them and played around with them, he wanted a real fight and got it
>>217356803Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here
Here's my pitch for the Predator reboot:>It's exactly like the first film...>Except it takes place on the Predator's home planet with them getting their shit pushed in by a single random redneck space Human big-game hunter dickhead.I will accept your money.
>>217360058>That is not how that works
boy george: there's something out there waiting for us...and it ain't no man
>>217356729This must be a high test thing cause I understood him completely. I've acted similarly numerous times irl
>>217356729I like to think he slipped off.
>>217361522I thought gay men had good fashion sense. That hat is the dumbest shit I've ever seen.
>>217361522>Jenner! You daughter of a bitch!"
>>217361085Pretty much this, they were used to being the top predator. They took down the guerrilla camp with ease while cracking jokes. Then something appeared that turned them into the prey, and they started to lose their cool. He even said in one scene that he was scared something that had never happened to him before. Going out like a warrior was a last, desperate attempt.
Billy wanted to go out on his own terms, fighting hand to hand instead of getting sniped from afar. He cut himself to make sure the enemy had the scent of his blood. He and Arnie had figured out the predator only shoots people armed with guns, which is why he kicks the gun out of the woman's hands later on.
>>217359708You proved him right with this post.
>>217356729>>217357021That's the point. Dude is a badass, brave, testosterone driven motherfucker and the predator made him scream like a bitch. You wouldn't understand if you're a zoomer who's used to modern "predator" having it's ass handed to it by little girls.
>>217359893Honor and all that jazz are great when it comes to fiction, but in real life, some may say it's better to be a living coward than a dead hero.
>On July 23, 2008, Landham appeared on the political radio show The Weekly Filibuster, where he was asked, in relation to past comments of his quoted in the Louisville Courier-Journal, if he was calling for the genocide of Arab people. He replied, "I call for outright bombing them back into the sand until they surrender and if they don't surrender, then you continue the war. Because if you don't, you will never have peace in the United States. Now do you want peace in the United States or do you want to live to some utopian ideals that are impossible in a world?" He further called for Arabs to be banned from entering the United States, and referred to that ethnic group as "camel dung-shovelers", and when questioned on this, suggested using the epithets "rag-heads" and "camel jockeys".[4][15] Holy fucking based. Go back to your own planet!
>>217356729What does it feel like to be a zoomer who has no idea what it was like when being wise to the Indian way meant this and not calling grandma's scamming for itunes gift cards?
>>217356729>They hated him because he told the truth.This scene was always retarded, he threw away his life to go 1v1 with an invisible alien killing machine with advanced technology while holding a big knife.
>>217364427Just go watch your backpack waifu predator movie and accept you will never understand
>>217364507>backpack waifu predator movieIt wasn't as bad as people were making it out to be and I had zero expectations of it being good.OG Predator will always be #1 but that scene was still retarded.
>>217364741Billy knew he was going to his death. He just wanted to go out on his own terms.
He's subverting himself in the wake of the Alpha Predator, as he willfully creates a vaginal slit and menstruates
