this was really lame. both the plot and visuals.
i can't wait for the cultural shift when we can finally acknowledge that stuff like this sucks assgonna be hilarious to watch the copin' & seethen'
>>221170688The only one seething here is you when you made this post
>"Lets take an alien horror movie about a race of beings who stalk their prey and brutally murder them like game animals, even going so far as showing grisly spine rips and skull trophies and pair it with a quirk chungus half android and a baby monster, it'll be like a 'found family movie!"
>>221170688i like the idea but the execution sucked. the concept of little fagboy grows into a badass to avenge his brother and violently take over the clan from his father is solid, but we didnt need the girlboss and the star wars alien sidekick, plus the whole thing was painfully pg13
>>221171319trying to turn the predator into some sort of samurai race was always retarded when they spend all their time brutally hunting down unaware primitives
>>221170688why did the android miss her bottom half?
>>221172644I blame corporate/suits/focus testing. They are always the ones pushing forced shit like that, like the shitty human characters in every Transformers and Godzilla movie.
>>221170688I thought it got better as the movie went on>>221172672In the og movie the Predator is obviously more of a ninja, looks like a power ranger character. It was originally supposed to be played by Van Damme and be a short agile killer.The thing that actually bothered me the most is how they portray Predator society as a bunch of macho meatheads obsessed with who is the biggest and strongest. Because i cant see how a society like that could be so technologically advanced
>>221172896They watched the original films whilst browsing their phones, so they missed the crucial plot-details where the Pred spares anyone who isn't armed or a threat. Even the Rodriguez film built a twist around that very idea, with a seemingly normal dude from a leafy LA suburb way out of his depth being matched with terrorists, assassins, mercs and gansters from all over Earth. Decades of world-building straight down the crapper.
Is this the one that drinks all them big drinks?
>>221172672>trying to turn the predator into some sort of samurai race was always retarded when they spend all their time brutally hunting down unaware primitivesyup, people mistook pride and ego in the first movie as honor and respect
>>221172682
>the predator is prey to no one>friend to no one>predator to everyone >this is the opening line>proceed to show predators being preyed on>then conclude the movie with the power of friendshipIts a deliberately subversive film
>>221170688You didn't like the part where the predator took his helmet off and started raping faster than Eminem?
>>221172682this movie made me find my future wifeI WANT THAT ASSSS
>>221174885better than it being a girl predator like everyone cried about when trailers first released
I watched the entire movie thanks to that webm of Elle popping up into the frame.Idk, she's just so charismatic as an actor (as well as smoking hot). Thought it was pretty comfy, unironically better than watching sweaty dudes for, 5 other predator movies?
>>221170688What would happen if the moment all the ANDROIDS aiming their GUNS at the sitting down back to them PREDATOR just started opening fire?
>>221175833I loved the movie.I know OP hated it, but I found it alright.I ended up actually liking this predator having to think a bit more and accepting help.Like the way Elle Fanning robot said to use her as a tool since shes alive. Then he rationalized it as "yeah, that works". That was gold to me.Like its kinda stupid to think a predator isn't part of a tribe. Yeah, it kinda sounds like they hunt alone, but after the hunt they are part of a tribe.We just followed a runt that started to make his own tribe. Elle Fanning personality was cute af. I am a fan of hers now.
if this movie was made in the 80s/90s and not Disney i could see an entire plot of Dek hunting the dangerous alien and in a twist making it his pet hunting dog. >but he did that in this movieyeah but its not badass and dark and horror. The alien becomes his "family" and friend lol.A predator with the most giant hunting hound alien would be cool.
Will Dek eventually have sexual with his new android friend?
I am not watching Predator Romulus.
>>221170688https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDDHHrt6l4wBadlands is to Predator what Saturday Morning Watchmen is to Watchmen
Dan Trachtenberg fans are smoking rock. They were also hyping up killer of killers, and I watched it, and it's literally just a ninety minute cartoon with pretty much no plot.Genuinely find it confusing that they defend this stuff vehemently
>>221175954>I have no standards>I am a disney baby>I have a fetish for this shit
>>221170688Yeah it was dogshit
>>221172644>the concept of little fagboy grows into a badass to avenge his brother and violently take over the clan from his father is solidno it fucking isn't you star wars obsessed faggot. PREDATORS ARE ALIENS, they're not some proud warrior race with emotional depth and interiority. they're the blurry screen effect that makes humans blow up
reminder predators ARE NOT honourable.when they lose they activate a miniature nuke and laugh at you for being a faggotthey hunt people with invisibility cloaking and tracking plasma guns
>>221177858They are huge bastards going to a safari. What they do is for fun and sport, for the challenge. Honor has nothing to do with it
>>221177794THIS. I'm fucking tired of having no-fun faggots trying to inject shit that doesn't belong into characters designed to be cool and larger than life.
predator if he human (also he scalps you and calls you a spear chukka)
>>221172682hank hill ahh
they named him Dih.
>>221170688>this was really lame. both the plot and visuals.i thought it was pretty good. I liked the unique action and sounds. Thought it was well done.
To be fair, only the first one was objectively good; with the next best sequel and the plural being merely entertaining in the context of how bad the other films have been.
>>221170708People really love this. And its getting a second movie.
>>221178058yep 1st is classic, second is ok in the sense it was interesting moving the setting from the jungle to the concrete jungle
>>221175954It was a fun sci-fi movie that ignored modern politick and had a fun, beautiful and charismatic co-lead (elle) against a mostly silent protagonist.People are just stuck in this quasi-5th-gear of hatred towards anything that comes out without actual critical thinking to what they're watching. I'm sure the majority of peoples' who hated this movies' catalogue of favorites fall into that exact mould of "Fun speculative sci-fi that ignores modern drama with charismatic leads".
>>221177785look we have a retard among us lmao
>>221178118it didnt ignore politik >>221174885Its a subversive film
>>221178052>unique action and soundsYou were raised by capeshit, disney baby.
>>221178144>furiously typed the disney baby defending Badlands
why was a big deal made about him being a manlet.Being a manlet pred would be advantageous and it didnt stop him being a good fighter at all, he wrecked the invincible alien and even his retarded father Its such a dumb thing they added to the Predator lore
>>221177794>AliensNigga to them, we are aliens.you telling me this other species of intelligence that can travel the fucking stars cannot develop emotional depth? your retarded>How do I know you are retarded?>because when you read "your", you're first instinct was to reply fast as you can like gigantic mega faggot with "you're", because it is the only thing midwits do to try and prove they are smarter than everyone else.>Watch him try and do again with the word "you're" that I purposely wrote wrong yet again to prove my point. Watch him reply with "your"
>>221178170>hurrrr durrrrr dinsey babyyyyy>DISNEY HURT MY VAGINA!!!! REEEEE!!!! > WHY WOULD DISNEY DO THIS!!!! TO ME!!!!!
>>221178181Nta but Predators are to us what we are to a wolf or fox or leopard.We don't have emotional depth to a tiger. we shoot the tiger.
>>221178217the movie we saw Predator to Predatorit wasn't hunting us in the moviedid you even watch the movie?
>>221178181predators were created to be antagonists in a mishmash/ ripoff of alien and commando that was a star vehicle for arnie. i have no idea how the fuck you go from that to star wars fights with whedonquips and sophomoric melodrama
>>221178144>>221178191hi director of sloplands! (i'm not going to look up or remember your name)
>>221178178liberals thing being short (5' 9" and below) makes you subhuman because they're w*men/ care about what w*men think
>>221178250Because no one is going to go see that film again for the 4th time.it's called expanding the universe and taking a gamble on if it will succeed or notIt's like complaining that arnold was a good terminator in T2 when you are so stuck on Arnold being a killer terminator in T1>but the star wars!!!!! THE STAR WARS DISNEY!!! WHY YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO MAKE ANTI HEROS!!! WHY MY ARNOLD BE HERO NOW!!!! REEEEEE!!!!!!
we should have got terminator vs predator. remember theres a theory that arnie in P1 was used as the basis of the terminator in the futureWhat we really need is the alien vs predator vs terminator, blade runner kino verse
>>221178302you seen that video on instagram? terminator vs predator. it is FIRE
>>221178280>Because no one is going to go see that film again for the 4th time.bitch i have seen 50 ripoffs of aliens and i will go and see 50 more. the problem is that from predator 2 onwards they've all been shit>it's called expanding the universe and taking a gamble on if it will succeed or notthe actual recipe for this is evolving the concept, like what aliens did to alien. you don't decide to make a movie about a little alien who's rejected by his tribe of aliens for not having acidic enough blood and give him a lightsaber>It's like complaining that arnold was a good terminator in T2 when you are so stuck on Arnold being a killer terminator in T1T2 succeeded despite good terminator, not because of it.>effects>action>T-1000 (the actual star of the movie)>edward furlong>linda hamiltonthe T1 sucked ass and didn't even need to be in the movie
>>221178030he smol Dih
>>221178320>50 rip offsAnd yet you want more, ridiculous argument>Evolving the conceptcheck, that was his film>T2 succeededThank you for proving my point.This movie succeeded and we will get more now.
>>221178352>check, that was his filmthis is not to predator what aliens was to alien lmao>And yet you want more, ridiculous argument>Thank you for proving my point.maybe read more than 4 words of each sentence lmao
>>221178363>This was better film>don't need too, you dumb
>>221170688I don't understand why people loved Prey but hated this. Prey was literally just a soft remake of the first film but with shitty Hulu streaming aesthetics, it's not good despite the cool premise. Badlands is Disney-fied, sure, but at least it actually attempts to deepen the mythology and do something different with the character. Do people just want them to remake Predator forever? That's how you end up with bullshit like Alien: Romulus (which is a much worse movie than Badlands).
>>221178992prey was so shit ass because the entire thing was>he underestimated me because i was a girl!
There isn't enough testosterone in Hollywood to make a good Predator movie.
>>221178191>He said while having a vaginal meltdown
>>221178992They are both awful
>>221172682>why did the android miss her bottom half?Because i hid it under my bed. It's mine now. I call it loretta.
>>221172896>he thing that actually bothered me the most is how they portray Predator society as a bunch of macho meatheads obsessed with who is the biggest and strongest. Because i cant see how a society like that could be so technologically advanced>"I'll take 'What are Klingons for 500 Alex"Just admit you are gay
>>221174885Just like MotU
Funny how the predator comics all keep the character and vibe of the first movie yet all the films made him some lame pg13 slopArguably the only good sequel was predator 2018 because he was vicious and pissed, but it was still netflix-core in terms of the directing
>>221177858>reminder predators ARE NOT honourable.Untrue. A predator believes it is able to do anything to win and capture it's prey, because that is the only thing that has status in their society. Stealth? Advanced weaponry? Even a mini nuke to conceal its failure and bring dishonor to it's clan? Sure. No problem. We do see in the second movie though, if a prey manages to defeat one, respect is given with them just collecting the dead one Harrigan dispatched and giving the gun, then fucking off. That's where their honor begins and ends though. You either kill, or be killed, there is no in between.
>>221178280>it's called expanding the universe and taking a gamble on if it will succeed or notNo its called "I have an idea for a sci fi movie but unsure if it will sell on it's own BUTTT if i attach a famous franchise name to it, that should increase the odds of people paying for it, irregardless of the fact that's it only threadbare linked to the other in the series"So lame
