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. :')
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.
