I used to think this. Then I watched The Summit of the Gods. A French movie set in Japan. There is a degree of separation where who cares.

Why don't they make the Predator movie we really want where they hunt down billionaire capitalists?

Judging from the trailer there's gonna be at least one scene where you get to watch the predator tear apart some white colonials, that'll be fun.

Definitely seems like they show things from the last two minutes or so of the movie. And that cameo probably would've been a nice surprise in the theater. Which makes me think the movie sucks? Why else would they have to ruin their own movie like that?

unless you're going to go full Apocalypto having everyone put on thier best cartoon accent is much, much worse. the actors are mostly from various NA native groups, those are their voices. what's your alternative here?

edit: really surprised the actors are doing the comanche dub though, since most of them aren't comanche speakers (the lead is sioux and comanche isn't even a siouan language). Apocalypto had the advantage of various Mayan languages still having millions of native speakers.

To find a way to do it in the native voice of whatever tribe they're representing. As posted, they're doing it in the Comanche language for a dub, it would have been awesome seeing that on screen vs a dub over english language.

I certainly am not suggesting people put on a "cartoon accent."

edit: and like I said... it looks good. It's just the perfect English just threw me off. I'm not like... clamoring for it to not have been made.

ah, the dub is probably the only option there. there are maybe a couple of hundred native comanche speakers alive on the earth and they're mostly old people. getting the actors to all learn it well enough to deliver their lines in it on set is going to be difficult at best

The billionaire initially escapes the Predator by throwing his security at it but then learns what's going on and decides to play the game by putting named characters in its path. We root for these characters and the ones that survive at the end set up the Predator and billionaire, who deserve each other, to die together / kill each other.

Given the whole "Predator gate crashes a different action movie" premise from 1 and 2 that they are trying to invoke in Prey, it would be interesting if they made a Predator movie that started with a Most Dangerous Game/Hard Target scenario only for the Predator to take down all the rich rear end in a top hat "hunters" and the working class "prey" to take down the Predator.

You could absolutely do a movie where the Predators are the good guys, just not one that involves the kind that do the sport hunting.

Predator vs The Thing. Now there's a movie that isn't some boring "how about a movie where the aliens kill people I don't like, no I'm not a reactionary I promise" poo poo.

like have the Pred drop onto Megacity and it starts huntin chooms in a tower, then the Judges show up and they completely clown on the Predator, and now we're rooting for the confused alien who is being systematically hunted down by a squad of Dredds

the way the show has been going i'm extremely surprised they haven't at least done it as a halloween "dream" episode or something. i can only assume they're just keeping it in the bag until the right script and budget come together, because the people making that show would definitely know it exists

It's amazing how people don't watch movies.

Dutch's team in the first one was explicitly a rescue team that was very angry that they were tricked into going on the mission they went on. And the second one the predator didn't seem to have any problems killing police or gang members and killed Gary busey and his team of CIA guys, a group of white criminals on the subway train as well as Bill Paxton.

Exactly. The first one is the boomer fantasy. The second one is the libertarian fantasy (see, the subway scene where everybody is packing).

He's got a few good videos, but also a lot of terrible ones. His Robin Hood/King Arthur one is worth watching, and his Matrix sequel restructure is a fun thought experiment even if I don't fully agree with him.

e: and his comedy bits are awful. Do yourself a favor and skip them. Sometimes they just go on and on.
