  • It had looked like a match made in heaven. Shane Black, screenwriter extraordinaire, was finally given the reins of the Predator franchise. Then, the film released, and audiences complained of one of the most heinous misuses of autism onscreen in years. I'd stayed away...until now. These are my findings.

    As a 28 year old autistic Trinidadian 🇹🇹 woman I thank you for this video. I’m a huge fan of the Alien and Predator franchises. This movie annoyed me to no end lol because wtf was Shane thinking? 🤣 Thank you for this great review! I hope you have a great holiday!

    Stupid.
    “Movie director only portrays autistic people as being overly autistic, during meltdowns, etc”
    Two minutes later: “and half the time the child actor is portraying the character as not even being autistic, acting too normal”
    Pick a side, you can’t just be offended by everything. I can’t believe i wasted ten minutes of my life watching another pc ramble about how the they refuse to be happy with anything

      I’m autistic and I agree with you. He’s never heard of high functioning or low functioning autism, has he?

    You're being way too sensitive here for sure. There's a whole group of people out there these days scourging the planet. It's people who are overly sensitive and go around demanding people to behave a certain way around them. Also your "no no word" is in the dictionary.
