It's competently executed, focusing mostly on action, self-sacrifice and heroics, but I couldn't help but notice that there are three main characters: two non-white male characters and one white female granny. And the white female granny survives, where other white male characters didn't. They portray her as the ultimate bad-arse. Also, in one of the other stories we had one white male character sacrifice himself in order to save the non-white male character.
Racial coding and skin color is important according to the DEI ideologues. In fact, it may be the most important thing in the whole world according to DEI ideologues. Therefore, while definitely entertaining, this is still a racialized anti-white product of DEI fascists and should be thrown on the bonfire. :')
I have no idea why you people keep watching this shit. You're on a forum literally dedicated to discussing media that's been converged by satanic faggot pedos and somehow remain surprised that new goyslop still sucks
Modeler34 vibes
I'd say it's worse than you described. The granny can cut huge, burly men in half with one swing of a one-handed weapon. It's absolute retardation.
Almost nothing about the movie was competent, though.
I'm not going to go through all the details of everything wrong with it, but the middle-aged granny being this super bad-arse was one of the most off-putting things straight away. She's taking down hordes of men on her own, which instantly took me out of the film.
The Predator they fought with the emitter was taking out everybody with one hit, but somehow couldn't land a direct hit on the granny. She also somehow was able to tank a direct blast from that emitter with only one of her shields breaking even though the thing was leveling entire buildings.
Worse yet, is that since this was the middle ages they used iron anchors back then, which typically weighed hundreds of kilograms. Granny was able to lift it and toss it at the Predator who got wrapped up and was stuck underwater. Somehow the Predator couldn't lift the anchor but granny could?!?! Absolutely ridiculous.
The second story was probably the most decent. The third one was absolute Loony Toons horse shyte. Torres making jokes during the dogfight was dumb, plus somehow the Predator had no clue how his hook-shot worked, smacking his own ship with the engine. The writers also had no clue that flooded engines are flammable, not explosive. Engine should have shattered on the ship's hull, and the Predator should have gone about his business.
Lastly, Torres figuring out the Predator tech by just closing his eyes for a few seconds was outright asinine. He understood Predator tech better than the Predators.
Absolutely atrocious film heavily pushing DEI + feminist nonsense.
You're right. There are a lot of shortcomings. The granny should have died from hypothermia after falling into a frozen lake. Not once, but twice. Her role was obviously written for a forty-year-old Viking leader and instead they turned her into fifty-something granny.
The Japanese story had one guy slicing up dozens of samurai, just so that he could scratch his brother's cheek in return after 30+ years.
And the WWII one had the white senior commander turn an active combat situation into a 'teachable moment', while he already had lost his entire squad.
Yeah, even the Japanese story with the two brothers had me rolling my eyes multiple times and that was the best of the tales, which kind of says a lot about the film. It would have been better had they lowered the bodycount WAY lower for the ninja brother and focused more on his stealth and evasiveness until he encounters his brother. Would have also made more sense if the Predator lost some of his gear fighting the other soldiers to make it more believable when the two brothers face him on their own, and maybe he's at a disadvantage.
You're also right the first story was obviously made for middle-aged badasrse Viking male. Had he fought with his group and maybe died underwater with the Predator by having one of the wrecks collapse on them, it could have been a decent tale.
The third one was just ridiculous -- if anyone should have survived it should have been Michael Biehn's character, and it should have been a skin-of-his-teeth encounter where he ends up ejecting and losing the plane, and NOT defeating the Predator, he just survives the encounter even as an ace veteran. Would have helped save face for the Predator but also showcase how even the best warriors at the time couldn't beat Predators.
I stopped watching popular movies almost four decades ago. They're all subversive weapons of mass propaganda. Hollywood is a societal cancer factory by design. Devon Stack of Black Pilled has done some fantastic exposes on this.
It's a rough realization that this stuff has pretty much always been propaganda.
High Noon as subversive anti-western.
The one that really hurts is Raiders of the Lost Ark, because it's so beautifully shot. But it's small hat tribe revenge wank.
Someone once pointed out that Hollywood only makes movies from the Old Testament, never the New Testament, and now it's hard to not see. Even Prince of Egypt has a line about how God's motivation against pharaoh is "slavery bad." Not God's sovereignty, not releasing God's son Israel, but literally "no empire should be built on the back of slaves." Can I get a chapter and verse there, Moses?
Thanks for the heads up. I'm not watching that shit.
Steal all of your media. Put it on a cheap media server.
If you find something new that is based, buy it and share everywhere about why you like it.
Almost all tv and film media is owned by the same half dozen companies. Those companies all own shares of each other. One small group behind all of this shit. Stop giving them shekels.
I miss when I didn't notice these things
A granny? Come on lol
What's worse is the amount of normies who defend this goyslop.
The illogical nonsense in this film was through the roof; pure rubbish.
Yet normies are all over normie review boards and videos clamouring about how great this film is; when presented with the stuff that makes no sense, they just respond with "It's fiction, it's not supposed to make sense".
Really paints a grim picture for the average intelligence.
I think mostly people were willing to give it a pass, because it's been a while since they've seen such an animated movie with such hardcore violence, in addition to being part of the Predator franchise.
That's such a poor argument. If there aren't limitations or realisms or rules, even in fiction, then the story can't be compelling.
Exactly!
It's what made the first four Alien films compelling (even if Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection have their problems), and it's what made the first two Predator films fairly believable.
I recently rewatched Predator 2 and Alien: Resurrection, and none of the humans had super abilities; none of them were doing things only superhumans could pull off. Despite their flaws, one thing that at least can be said even for those films, is that the action direction and characterisations were at least consistent and believable.
The realism is what keeps you grounded in the suspension of disbelief. But once everyone starts doing wacky stuff like in Killer of Killers, there's nothing compelling about it because we can always expect some deus ex machina to save the day.
I also didn't care for the cryogenic freezing plotline. What's the point of freezing people from different eras. I don't know if it's lore breaking from what we've seen before, but it feels close
Reminds me of Fallout 3's Mothership Zeta. Freeze a bunch of people, put them on a space ship and... Oh wait, they're Yautja. That would be like us humans freezing a deer, and thawing it out to hunt later for us humans.
They had to bring them together, despite not being of the same era, in order to have their little ending. How the Predators found those specific humans is another question for the ages.
What I want to know is why the hell is there an emerging trend of animated features done at 15 FPS. It's fucking weird and shitty.
It is indeed weird and shitty.
