Someone who is legitimately curious if we watched the same movie..

You're crying about the final showdown as if every single Predator movie ever made didn't involve an obviously outmatched human managing to beat a Pred in a 1v1 situation.

This time it's a problem because.. *checks notes*.. she's a girl. OK then!

That's a disingenuous statement, or you're part that of ilk who acts with a sense of superiority.


Ellen Ripley & Sarah Conner I had no problem with both hardened by their experience with their history which gave them knowledge and had help not pushing an agenda doing so with weaponry that could take it down.

How is this chick any different?

She was hardened by her experience and used the knowledge she gained to beat the Predator with its own weaponry.

In case you didn't notice, she forced it to chop its own arm off with its shield, was going to spear it with its own combistick, and ultimately killed it with a shot from its own caster.

I had my doubts, but this was good as ****. Main character was far from a Mary Sue.

The dog was awesome.

The orange plant was a plot device. Its effects were established early on in the movie. Twice in fact.

Just let it go.

I enjoyed the movie.

If this is tripping your "woke-detector", your signal to noise ratio is too low.

Based on his response, I don't think he realized that the orange flower makes you invisible to the Pred. I'm guessing the version he was watching made her into Sue Storm? Not sure, but yeah, you may have been watching a different movie.

The media center should be renamed the "bitching about wokeness center"

Action scenes were ****ing epic. Seeing the Predator destroy a bear was badass

ThaVirus 08-07-2022 04:30 PM
The bear fight was definitely my favorite kill but it was closely followed by the net kill and when he hawked down the pretty boy in the open field and just slaughtered him in an explosion of blood.

Wokeness has become such a part of cinema that it's difficult to separate the two nowadays. And Hollywood no longer even tries to hide it most of the time. We're not just talking about artists sneaking in castle turrets shaped like dildos anymore.

Pretty badass predator movie. Really enjoyed it. Ill probably watch it in the Comanche dub again

listopencil 08-08-2022 06:33 AM
Watched it, enjoyed it. Of course there was some cheesy unbelievable stuff in there but that goes with the territory. The entire franchise is a a bunch of mindless fun movies, and this one was lighter on the mindless and heavier on the fun. I don't know how else they could have squeaked out yet another sequel that would have been in any way interesting at all.

These days the studios are not making movies for middle aged white men. They are no longer the target audience. It's a business.
