Honestly, I'm more concerned for you then anything else. You had to subject yourself to this movie, what, maybe a half a dozen times over the course of making this video? I'm amazed you still have any shred of sanity left to speak of.
The best thing about this movie is imagining Predators using the kids DNA to 'upgrade' themselves. Only to realise that now have no social skills and can be defeated by mildly loud noises. THE NEXT STEP IN HUMAN EVOLUTION!
I´m autistic and laughed at the film because of this! I would not call my short-term memory issues (forgetting names and faces....) and crippling anxiety as "next step in human evolution" either.... I blame Stephen King for starting this stupid trope of "special needs kids have superpowers!"
Stephen king is really a hack yes Carrie, it, and the shining are all decent (never read dark towers but I’ve heard good things) but most of his stuff if really just meh (like the mist, and children of the corn) to g-d fucking awful(tommy knockers, the langiers, maximum overdrive, anything he’s written since 1999).
You know something? This movie made me actually appreciate predators for how they portrayed the predators with the upmost respect and gratitude because this film felt like a mockery
The Predator is a great monster because it's basicly The Hunting the most dangerous game trope. It's an alien who hunts you for sport... But screw it though! Now their really stupid geneticists...
I don't like Predators but I'll watch it over this. I just hate that the girl tells everyone how Arnold defeated the creature and yet no one does it till the end.
I felt like Predators was awesome. It far from a great movie, even a good one in plenty of measures, but it was FUN. It was one of those rare action movies that lacks all pretense about what it is and what it wants to show you. I find it far more refreshing when a movie doesn't try to make some feeble attempt at depth to legitimize itself and is comfortable with what we all know it is. We don't need the writers to pretend they're making any insightful commentary on autism or climate change, and we literally only notice because of their feeble and embarrassing attempts to do so nonetheless. It's like the action movie version of what sooo many comedies do -- try to leverage an emotional layer to characters who failed to earn it or need it 2/3 of the way through as a "rising action" type stage in the movie's plot. Again, the lack of depth is fine until the writers try to add some shitty imitation of it. Compare Ted to Airplane! for a stark example of it occurring in comedies in my view.

7:17 The comics did this so much better. There are Predator 'Clans', and some kill anything or anyone regardless of their code (don't kill the young, old, unarmed), and in some cases, Predators do try and work with Humans to take them down. How cool would've that been?

They actually got that one right. I have sound sensitivities, but gunfire never bothered me (I go to the range a lot). For me, it’s triggered by harsh, blaring noises like fire alarms, but not by loud noises in general. This doesn’t excuse the movie in any way because, as an author, I expect them to do research and find a consistency.
I think it should have been established to make it make sense, some autistic people are only triggered by specific kinds of sounds. I can get close to a subwoofer no problem, but doing the dishes without ear protection seriously hurts my ears. It's not just the volume, it's the pitch too. Maybe have a scene of him going to watch the adults at the shooting range, so you know beforehand "oh, ok, alarms bad, gunfire good"
I feel like this movie is that one kid from school who tries to make everything he does and says sound cool and science like but he just fails horribly
@@xtianosickboy I'm not very good at explaining it but it means I'm like a normal person but I have autistic traits sorry if this is unclear I suggest you look it up
It's because Hollywood producers now understand the VFX process better and know how to hurry the process along. This involves moving studios and their employees miles away from their families for tax evasion and failing to credit said employees in the movies right after driving their companies to bankruptcy
The effects look so bad because the budgets are too high. Sounds paradoxical, but that is the reason. The high budgets mean every production day is more expensive. That means they have to rush a production while a lower budget movie would have enough time.
"What would it have to gain? If this Predator wanted to help humanity, why didn't it try opening up communications, instead of murdering everyone around it? Why did it murder Quinn's friend and go to the effort of stringing him up and collecting his spine?" Look man, some of us only know how to speak in slaughter
Ah. The goons caught a classic case of "nameless baddie disorder" symptoms include disregarding all prior training, neglect of cover, ineffective aim, selecting invulnerable targets, instant knockouts from slight hits, and general disregard for survival and common sense.
And one possibly being a possible pedophile in the making. (the scene where he steals the kids picture) That was one of the most creepy things to witness in this.
When the predator first escapes the base and Olivia Munn chases it, watching her run as fast as the predator is honestly the most hilarious scene in the entire movie
I have ADHD and Asperger's. I think the whole weaponising autism thingy is just mildly amusing. The rest of this trainwreck seems far more frustrating. Haven't watched it and probably never will.
Love how the ships force field is slowly covering the ship when our heroes needs to jump/duck it, but when he triggers the shield to hurt the big guy it's basically instant.
@@saculnnamremmiz I would argue that The Predator is simply not in the right genre for Shane Black. He is a talented writer, but his strengths is not writing horror or action/adventure. He is good at buddy films, with mismatched protagonists working off each other usually to solve a crime. Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and The Nice Guys are Shane Black at his best. But try to put his trademarks into the Predator franchise? It won't work.
About Munn's capture and imprisonment in the barn. She's has one hand handcuffed to a chair, that is in the middle of the loft, and not nailed to the floor. Her legs are also free. Instead of fighting with the handcuff, pick up the chair and jump out? Her plot armor is thick enough to survive the fall.
Reminds me of something my sister likes to say: There's nothing worse than a bad comedy. Everything else can still be funny despite (or rather due to) being bad but since that's the whole point of comedy, a bad comedy isn't even funny.
They should never have had the Predator communicate directly with the humans. Hell, there are a lot of things they never should have done in this movie. But that in particular robs them of their alien mystique. Personally, I liked "Predators", I thought it was a pretty solid film with compelling characters. It took itself seriously, re-emphasized the "humbled badasses" motif of the original film, and it kept the aliens somewhat inscrutable even on their own planet.
@Billy Hill Yeah, Predator 2 didn't work for me. It reminded me of an episode of Miami Vice, with OTT characters, stupidly OTT violence and an unlikeable bunch of main characters. I think Danny Glover was miscast and given a terrible script, and the less said about Gary Busey and Bill Paxton's horribly-written characters, the better. The movie felt cheap, it didn't respect the source material and it wasn't scary. The people making it seemed to have thought if they soaked everything in blood, that would make it frightening, completely missing the slow burn and rising sense of dread that made the original so good.
This was funny as hell. That movie looked like a train crash as soon as the cast was released, but even in my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine it to be this bad.
When me and my dad were watching this we were laughing so hard and were talking about how bad it was and near the end when it said the predator killer we started to think that what if in that box it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and he would walk out and say some cheesy line, that would’ve made that film
That would be hilarious! Here's some armour etc. And some clones of this guy Dutch. Killed a major Hunter. So we cloned him. Can't get any better than this guy!
My older brother has aspergers, as well as two of my friends. My niece has a different variation of autism. My brother jokes about it helping him with some things, but he definitely wouldn't claim to be the next step in evolution.
The fact they use autism as a golden star as though it makes the movie better. Its just like other movies using mental illnesses and sexuality as a cash grab. My little brother has autism and seeing movies use it not to show awareness but as a "look at how diverse and nice we are" along with fetishizing things like anxiety disorder and depression which i have, movie like this make people take seriously things like a joke and as a "oh their so quirky its so cute" people do act like this and its a major problem for many people. Big company's use things that are seen as "weird" or "wrong" as a quick cash grab for people who actually have it can finally have someone to relate to, things like romanticizing and fetishizing things that can ruin lives and even cause death. Im not saying you shouldn't put things like autism and bipolar but its important to not take them lightly: show and stay true to how the people with such problems feel and act, dont treat ot as a cash grab but a true problem many people suffer with, treat things like this with care. Make the main character autistic and have depression, hell i even encourage it to help spread awareness that these things are real problems, make some shock value jokes of you truly want to. Just dont treat the disability or illness itself as a joke. If your going to give a character a mental illness or disability then PLEASE do educate yourself and keep in mind it always differs from people, shed light on large companies using things like this as cash grabs. Just remember that not all movies with a character who has disabilities or illness are automatically bad; theres always someone who does it right. I just hope what im Saying makea sense and my apologies if i repeat, things like this are very personal to me. TLDR: people are exploiting things like sexuality, disabilities and illness just to get a cash grab and arent showing respect or even trying to make it accurate. Some random person on the internet sharing their useless opinion signing off, have a good day.
How about the part towards the end of the film where Quinn gains access to the ship via a door secured by the alien technology, despite the film itself showing the need for Rory and his autism to understand the language/code. Quinn just smacks a few keys and low and behold, open seseme.
Although I agree that using autism as a way to portray “super intelligence” for the sake of the movie is an overused trope, I have to say that the moments of sensory overload aren’t incorrect. As someone on the spectrum, his responses are not surprising. For me, I would hate the speakers at home even on low volume, but would turn my headphones’ volume all the way up. I would hate loud noises coming from next door, but don’t mind the explosion scenes at the cinema. It’s VERY confusing, but I’m letting you know that the way this film portrays sensory overload isn’t really “wrong,” realistically speaking. Everything else, however...
I have commented something similar somewhere else, but to be honest, I'm way more bothered by sound based anti-mosquito wristbands than subwoofers. It's not just the volume, it's the pitch, the regularity, the timber of the sound that matters. It can also depend by the stress level of the person (if you're relaxed you can bear it more easily) and a lot of other factors.
Ghostbusters Franchise....DESTROYED, Jurassic Park Franchise...DESTROYED, Star Wars Franchise....DESTROYED, Terminator Franchise...DESTROYED, Alien Franchise.....DESTROYED, Predator Franchise...DESTROYED!!!! What the heck is going on in Hollywood???!!!!
"Who's Next?" - Goldberg. Just stop making sequels to old films. They shit on those films for being "cheesy" and yet they cant do it better...fucking hell.
To control the future you need to erase the past. Popular culture is a huge part of our formative years and we place great value on it. They know this, hence why all the intense propaganda these past few years. It's all deliberate and is only gonna get far worse. Just tune out. They won't stop. It's about demoralization and creating anxiety and rootlessness in us all.
Honestly, if they wanted to make a decent and subversive Predator movie, they could have just developed one idea from this movie and thrown out the other 99% of it: a Predator gets captured. Gets "studied" in a government lab and then breaks loose, making this hunt about revenge. Simple and doesn't retcon existing entries with convoluted nonsense, and different enough to not just be the same movie with a twist.
15:03 - It was shown, VERY QUICKLY, that the ship explosion set it free and it run away. That's one of the main problems of this movie. They squeezed a hell lot of details in such a short time, that you can easily miss important info.
I was on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver. Takes around three and a half- four hours. I tried watching this film. I made it 20 minutes and couldn’t take anymore. This review was more enjoyable than the 20 minutes I suffered through. Just watching the scenes in this review makes me cringe it’s beyond bad.
It really shouldnt be that hard to make a Predator movie: Predator/s x (intimidation + cool gadgets) + likeable and competent cast + decent story = instant success Edit: I honestly like Predators , it was nowhere near the original , but it stands as a decent movie on its own and actually treats the licence with respect. It and Predator 2 are a guilty pleasure , but leagues above this and the AvP movies
@@Micha-qv5uf AvP 2 is still better than this. Alien: Covenant made me so mad I had to call a friend who had already seen it and rant at him for 90 min and it's still better than this.
"Doggie ex machina" That's not a deus ex machina, that's just a Chekhov's gun. The former comes out of nowhere and resolves the plot, the latter is an element introduced earlier that comes into play later in the plot.
Something a bit funny about that Iron Predator/Predator Hunter suit, is something like that could of existed within the AVP films, especially due to the collecting of Predator tech. Cause then the humans could develop a suit a armor using Predator tech to take on Predators and Xenomorphs. Although for something like this to remotely work, there needs to be better writing than what is currently being offered now.
CWDTrixie first SUPER! Predator assaults humans and takes „genetic samples“, then he takes back his stuff killing unarmed scientists, [drops a spacesuit wich is conveniently shaped for a human being and doesn’t crush it because the predator physiology isn’t the same as a humans] and finally attempts to take a human child to his planet because advanced genetics I guess. There is no connection whatsoever
> Scene 1: *Sees Cynical's face* > Me: "By the Gods he is a true Brit" No hate to ya Cynic. Just WOW experimenting outside of the dog character is something I'd like to see more of.
The trends we're seeing with recent sequels, remakes, and reboots are depressing. The writing is becoming lazier. Meanwhile, shills are going hardcore defending this by saying plotholes and inconsistencies don't matter. Basically, they boil it down to "watch moving pictures, consume merch, shut up."
Did anyone else notice in the scene with Rory walking you see a kid on the left in a red costume that looks eerily similar to the original costume design for the predator in 87''? Aside from the fact that it is completely red from head to toe.
So I think the Space Dog™ changing sides was added in later and took the place of the normal dog. Thats why they show the normal dog chasing after the van; it was supposed to be the Deus Ex Doggina.
I managed to suffer through half of this Predator movie, and now I think that Predators was a fucking masterpiece. At least it was fun, had interesting characters and had respect for the source material.
@@98953812 Your opinion is as valid as anyone else’s! I don’t think it’s as good as the first but imagine if Predators had been the first ever Predator movie - everyone would be raving about its awesomeness.
i didnt actually realise the predator came out in 2018, its another one of 'those' films that just exists it was never actually released it just spawned
Why am I not surprised? Although; it's hilarious how they tried to make this scary. The more I watch the movie the more I die on the inside. Also; the fact that they made a pitbull evil is so dumb. We get it movie; you're stupid. The more this movie plays the more I lose faith in humanity Good lord; is this movie a trollpasta or a fanfic? Because that is what it feels like. Edit: There fixed it. My apologies.
@@Darkcyndermaya Huh. Didn't expect you to take that seriously. Ah well. Though I do get a laugh at how often it's mispelled on YT. I assume it's an auto correct problem.
Brackett: Autism is a psychosis. Also Brackett: Exoskeletons are subdermal. Brackett Again: Autism is advanced evolution. Can ANYONE in Hollywood write a scientist well, PLEASE?!
what i want to know is why they think replacing the predator with a bigger badder predator is a winning strategy people don't generally go to see movies to see there favourite parts destroyed and then switched with an inferior clone yet they have done it twice now and haven't learned
Hi, yeah, autistic person here: while my autism IS an intrinsic part of who I am, it is not some magical fucking gift and I HATE when movies act like it gives us super powers. We’re people deserving empathy, not the “next step in human evolution.” My autism often makes socializing difficult and causes me to struggle with processing and responding to my own emotions. It also causes issues with coordination, spatial reasoning, memory, verbalization, and concentration. And I’m LUCKY-people don’t always realize I’m autistic right away and I can, more or less, communicate with people who aren’t autistic. Again, it’s not a magic gift. Also, MOST autistic people are not incredibly gifted at things like math 🙄.
I love how the ending of this movie implies that no predators have ever been born with cognitive abnormalities. Like.. why the hell would that not have occurred? Probably because a race like the predators would have killed the young displaying it rather than "fetishizing" it Hollywood style, as you said. This whole movie was like a string of individually isolated "Wouldn't it be cool if...?" scenes. Like making a family episode of simply the cutaways. A lot of modern movies suffer from this symptom.
I lmao throughout this entire video. The film itself was already ‘so bad it’s good’ and Cynical’s narration just makes it better. Also, Cynical, you are damn photogenic! You look like a cross between Tom Holland and Michael Fassbender and it rustles my jimmies.

Maybe just maybe Terminator Dark Fate will be good.
Eh I don't think so but we will see.
I've always been baffled that Rory is triggered by the school fire alarm, but loud gunfire all around him is a-ok?
They actually got that one right. I have sound sensitivities, but gunfire never bothered me (I go to the range a lot). For me, it’s triggered by harsh, blaring noises like fire alarms, but not by loud noises in general. This doesn’t excuse the movie in any way because, as an author, I expect them to do research and find a consistency.
Ones a constant sound the others a burst unless full auto
I think it should have been established to make it make sense, some autistic people are only triggered by specific kinds of sounds. I can get close to a subwoofer no problem, but doing the dishes without ear protection seriously hurts my ears. It's not just the volume, it's the pitch too. Maybe have a scene of him going to watch the adults at the shooting range, so you know beforehand "oh, ok, alarms bad, gunfire good"
I feel like this movie is that one kid from school who tries to make everything he does and says sound cool and science like but he just fails horribly
KingYelnif making everything sound science hurts my brain
KingYelnif Basically my middle school writing
I agree
"and science"

@@lucasoheyze4597 I how they depicted that makes me cringe
How can the special effects be WORSE 30+ years later?
Especially the cgi super predator, it looks terrible.
Because they were practical effects.
No one does these anymore. Sitting in front of a computer is way more convenient.
It's because Hollywood producers now understand the VFX process better and know how to hurry the process along. This involves moving studios and their employees miles away from their families for tax evasion and failing to credit said employees in the movies right after driving their companies to bankruptcy
@@bobbobson110 not really, good cgi beats practical effects most of the time, the real reason is because its more cheap.
The effects look so bad because the budgets are too high. Sounds paradoxical, but that is the reason.
The high budgets mean every production day is more expensive. That means they have to rush a production while a lower budget movie would have enough time.
"What would it have to gain? If this Predator wanted to help humanity, why didn't it try opening up communications, instead of murdering everyone around it? Why did it murder Quinn's friend and go to the effort of stringing him up and collecting his spine?"
Look man, some of us only know how to speak in slaughter
Maybe that Predator had autism too and this was the result of it...
Ah. The goons caught a classic case of "nameless baddie disorder" symptoms include disregarding all prior training, neglect of cover, ineffective aim, selecting invulnerable targets, instant knockouts from slight hits, and general disregard for survival and common sense.
And one possibly being a possible pedophile in the making. (the scene where he steals the kids picture) That was one of the most creepy things to witness in this.
When the predator first escapes the base and Olivia Munn chases it, watching her run as fast as the predator is honestly the most hilarious scene in the entire movie
Being on the spectrum and watching this in the cinema.. It was super cringy.. Give me the old movies back
Same feeling
I have ADHD and Asperger's. I think the whole weaponising autism thingy is just mildly amusing.
The rest of this trainwreck seems far more frustrating. Haven't watched it and probably never will.
@@MarcelNL how is it amusing
@@RasEli03 Because it's so incredibly dumb! :-)
But I don't find it to be insulting or anything.
@@MarcelNL ok. I find it more like misinformation for people that don't know what autism is. It's funny how the movie makes it look like a super power
I found a mistake: it starts at the beginning of the movie and goes on through to the end. I call the mistake The Predator.
I remember being excited about the film. Shane black writing with Boyd Holbrook as the lead.
Opening scene plays, knew it was garbage.
Love how the ships force field is slowly covering the ship when our heroes needs to jump/duck it, but when he triggers the shield to hurt the big guy it's basically instant.
Your FBI joke at the end was funnier than anything Shane Black has ever done on purpose.
Counterpoint: The Nice Guys
Counterpoint: Kiss kiss, bang bang. Honestly one of the funniest movies ever...
The guy is a great screenwriter...sometimes .
@@saculnnamremmiz I would argue that The Predator is simply not in the right genre for Shane Black. He is a talented writer, but his strengths is not writing horror or action/adventure. He is good at buddy films, with mismatched protagonists working off each other usually to solve a crime. Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and The Nice Guys are Shane Black at his best. But try to put his trademarks into the Predator franchise? It won't work.
@@outsidelookinginprod Or, at the very least, keep Shane Black in the director's chair and just have someone else write the screenplay.
@@saculnnamremmiz Most of the time. This movie really his only bad screenplay.

@@zbh9268 But Predator isn't a horror movie, or is it?
@@unknownman4966 It's technically Horror/Action like Aliens. But effective as both genres unlike the 2018 film which isn't effective at anything.
@@zbh9268 His horror movie wasn't as realistic as The Predator. It had a competent TSA agent.
About Munn's capture and imprisonment in the barn. She's has one hand handcuffed to a chair, that is in the middle of the loft, and not nailed to the floor. Her legs are also free. Instead of fighting with the handcuff, pick up the chair and jump out? Her plot armor is thick enough to survive the fall.
Reminds me of something my sister likes to say: There's nothing worse than a bad comedy. Everything else can still be funny despite (or rather due to) being bad but since that's the whole point of comedy, a bad comedy isn't even funny.
>while hes screaming
>Traeger shoots him to keep him quiet
Guns are significantly louder than yelling. Just sayin.
They should never have had the Predator communicate directly with the humans. Hell, there are a lot of things they never should have done in this movie. But that in particular robs them of their alien mystique.
Personally, I liked "Predators", I thought it was a pretty solid film with compelling characters. It took itself seriously, re-emphasized the "humbled badasses" motif of the original film, and it kept the aliens somewhat inscrutable even on their own planet.
@Billy Hill Yeah, Predator 2 didn't work for me. It reminded me of an episode of Miami Vice, with OTT characters, stupidly OTT violence and an unlikeable bunch of main characters. I think Danny Glover was miscast and given a terrible script, and the less said about Gary Busey and Bill Paxton's horribly-written characters, the better. The movie felt cheap, it didn't respect the source material and it wasn't scary. The people making it seemed to have thought if they soaked everything in blood, that would make it frightening, completely missing the slow burn and rising sense of dread that made the original so good.
Predators (2010) was a romantic comedy but still manged to forward the world building. Thank you for saving me whatever the runtime was on this film
Truthfully, Predators was at least enjoyable and had a lot of tense moments.
This was funny as hell. That movie looked like a train crash as soon as the cast was released, but even in my wildest dreams I couldn't imagine it to be this bad.
The more you know 🌈😝
The part where he said "that would make it an endoskeleton" made me laugh so hard
Critical Drinker did cover this, aye?
When me and my dad were watching this we were laughing so hard and were talking about how bad it was and near the end when it said the predator killer we started to think that what if in that box it was Arnold Schwarzenegger and he would walk out and say some cheesy line, that would’ve made that film
That would be hilarious! Here's some armour etc. And some clones of this guy Dutch. Killed a major Hunter. So we cloned him. Can't get any better than this guy!
he was actually offered a brief cameo in this film but he turned it down cause he said it added nothing to his characters legacy
That would mean it was a GOOD movie. Could go all 'im back!'.... or some such silliness.
Critical Drinker did cover this, aye?
My older brother has aspergers, as well as two of my friends. My niece has a different variation of autism. My brother jokes about it helping him with some things, but he definitely wouldn't claim to be the next step in evolution.
If someone tells me that to my face (I'm level 1 autistic btw), I just smile and say "No."
The fact they use autism as a golden star as though it makes the movie better. Its just like other movies using mental illnesses and sexuality as a cash grab. My little brother has autism and seeing movies use it not to show awareness but as a "look at how diverse and nice we are" along with fetishizing things like anxiety disorder and depression which i have, movie like this make people take seriously things like a joke and as a "oh their so quirky its so cute" people do act like this and its a major problem for many people. Big company's use things that are seen as "weird" or "wrong" as a quick cash grab for people who actually have it can finally have someone to relate to, things like romanticizing and fetishizing things that can ruin lives and even cause death. Im not saying you shouldn't put things like autism and bipolar but its important to not take them lightly: show and stay true to how the people with such problems feel and act, dont treat ot as a cash grab but a true problem many people suffer with, treat things like this with care. Make the main character autistic and have depression, hell i even encourage it to help spread awareness that these things are real problems, make some shock value jokes of you truly want to. Just dont treat the disability or illness itself as a joke. If your going to give a character a mental illness or disability then PLEASE do educate yourself and keep in mind it always differs from people, shed light on large companies using things like this as cash grabs. Just remember that not all movies with a character who has disabilities or illness are automatically bad; theres always someone who does it right.
I just hope what im Saying makea sense and my apologies if i repeat, things like this are very personal to me.
TLDR: people are exploiting things like sexuality, disabilities and illness just to get a cash grab and arent showing respect or even trying to make it accurate.
Some random person on the internet sharing their useless opinion signing off, have a good day.
Rewatching this and I can't hold it in anymore.
My daughter has autism and I find Hollywood's approach to it both offensive and laughable...
Has anybody ever approached you about playing a young Phil Collins? :D
How about the part towards the end of the film where Quinn gains access to the ship via a door secured by the alien technology, despite the film itself showing the need for Rory and his autism to understand the language/code.
Quinn just smacks a few keys and low and behold, open seseme.

"We've still got half an hour to go." The look of sheer despair...you poor bastard.
Although I agree that using autism as a way to portray “super intelligence” for the sake of the movie is an overused trope, I have to say that the moments of sensory overload aren’t incorrect. As someone on the spectrum, his responses are not surprising.
For me, I would hate the speakers at home even on low volume, but would turn my headphones’ volume all the way up. I would hate loud noises coming from next door, but don’t mind the explosion scenes at the cinema. It’s VERY confusing, but I’m letting you know that the way this film portrays sensory overload isn’t really “wrong,” realistically speaking. Everything else, however...
I have commented something similar somewhere else, but to be honest, I'm way more bothered by sound based anti-mosquito wristbands than subwoofers. It's not just the volume, it's the pitch, the regularity, the timber of the sound that matters. It can also depend by the stress level of the person (if you're relaxed you can bear it more easily) and a lot of other factors.
Predator: great if cheesy
Predator 2: not as good, but underrated
Predators: great, some major problems, but enjoyable
This: god no
AVP films: just no
The first AVP isso much better than this shit.
@Patrick Heneghan I like AVP as well, but AVPR would have been more enjoyable if it wasn't so friggin' dark, among other things.
wait, there are AVP movies?
@@omnical6135 O_O
....Yeah. A fairly good first one and a pretty mediocre sequel.
I would say only the first quarter of the first Predator is cheesy and that it was intentional. Everything after comes off pretty serious.
Ah loud noises

To control the future you need to erase the past. Popular culture is a huge part of our formative years and we place great value on it. They know this, hence why all the intense propaganda these past few years. It's all deliberate and is only gonna get far worse. Just tune out. They won't stop. It's about demoralization and creating anxiety and rootlessness in us all.

Joe Blow you are unfathomably stupid
They were never designed to be franchises. They were turned into them. That's what happened.
I don't really mind seeing you talking but I'm kinda used to seeing your animated character and like its bored expression
Honestly, if they wanted to make a decent and subversive Predator movie, they could have just developed one idea from this movie and thrown out the other 99% of it: a Predator gets captured. Gets "studied" in a government lab and then breaks loose, making this hunt about revenge. Simple and doesn't retcon existing entries with convoluted nonsense, and different enough to not just be the same movie with a twist.
Ohhh, so thats how the Guy behind the Dog with flappy ears looks like.

It really shouldnt be that hard to make a Predator movie:
Predator/s x (intimidation + cool gadgets) + likeable and competent cast + decent story
= instant success
Edit:
I honestly like Predators , it was nowhere near the original , but it stands as a decent movie on its own and actually treats the licence with respect.
It and Predator 2 are a guilty pleasure , but leagues above this and the AvP movies
I'd even argue that the first AvP movie ist still leagues above this. AvP2 not though..

I love the fact that the 4 meter tall terminator predator still has heat vision without the mask.
Something a bit funny about that Iron Predator/Predator Hunter suit, is something like that could of existed within the AVP films, especially due to the collecting of Predator tech. Cause then the humans could develop a suit a armor using Predator tech to take on Predators and Xenomorphs. Although for something like this to remotely work, there needs to be better writing than what is currently being offered now.
CWDTrixie so basically the polar opposite of what the fallout Americans did with the Chinese Stealth Tech?
@@PancakemonsterFO4 More or less I guess. It still sounds better than some Predator just giving the humans an Iron Predator suit....cause reasons.
CWDTrixie first SUPER! Predator assaults humans and takes „genetic samples“, then he takes back his stuff killing unarmed scientists, [drops a spacesuit wich is conveniently shaped for a human being and doesn’t crush it because the predator physiology isn’t the same as a humans] and finally attempts to take a human child to his planet because advanced genetics I guess. There is no connection whatsoever

The trends we're seeing with recent sequels, remakes, and reboots are depressing. The writing is becoming lazier.

Hi, yeah, autistic person here: while my autism IS an intrinsic part of who I am, it is not some magical fucking gift and I HATE when movies act like it gives us super powers. We’re people deserving empathy, not the “next step in human evolution.”
My autism often makes socializing difficult and causes me to struggle with processing and responding to my own emotions. It also causes issues with coordination, spatial reasoning, memory, verbalization, and concentration. And I’m LUCKY-people don’t always realize I’m autistic right away and I can, more or less, communicate with people who aren’t autistic. Again, it’s not a magic gift.
Also, MOST autistic people are not incredibly gifted at things like math 🙄.
I love how the ending of this movie implies that no predators have ever been born with cognitive abnormalities. Like.. why the hell would that not have occurred? Probably because a race like the predators would have killed the young displaying it rather than "fetishizing" it Hollywood style, as you said.
This whole movie was like a string of individually isolated "Wouldn't it be cool if...?" scenes. Like making a family episode of simply the cutaways. A lot of modern movies suffer from this symptom.
I lmao throughout this entire video. The film itself was already ‘so bad it’s good’ and Cynical’s narration just makes it better.
