Not to mention that the original Alien has a trans-character that they never really mention the fact that she's trans during the movie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. But I don’t hear anyone complain about developing non traditional characters. I think people get annoyed when it’s changed for diversity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those same people would think it's ridiculous that a woman would be able to take down an Alien while all the other men died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,653 Posted August 8, 2022 It’s like this: The kids shows my daughter watches have casts that are very diverse, some all minority. No issue. But if they did a remake of Punky Brewster with a black lead/cast that would annoy me. Because I hate pandering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't like how they remade Annie, but I grew up with the red haired little girl. I also don't care for remakes like Footloose, I haven't seen that one either.

Cdub100 3,381 Posted August 8, 2022 Haven't seen it but let me guess. Girl is super good at everything she does Men try and keep her down Predator kills everyone but her because she gets away She's the super bestes at stuff and kills the predator all by herself. Bonus: since it takes place in the 1800s they have to have evil white men doing evil things. Am I close? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,642 Posted August 9, 2022 Just read there already prepping a prequel sequel to The prequel. Apparently, long before that, an alien ship crashed in the Arctic, but due to global warming, the spaceship was freed and the creatures warmed back to life - to start their overdue hunt. The working title is Thaws and Preyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you enjoy it---I'm a big fan of the series and I'm thrilled someone made a great Predator movie again so we might get more good ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,710 Posted August 11, 2022 Watched yesterday, enjoyed it. It's solid and didn't seem woke, it's worth a watch. Hopefully Hollywood gets back to simply making solid movies. Nobody wants to be preached to by immoral hypocrites. We just want to be entertained for 2 hours. Predator 2 is unwatchable but, the one with Adrian Brody was pretty decent. This reminded me of that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PIK 95 2 Posted August 11, 2022 I really enjoyed it. Being 200-300 years earlier than the other movies, the Predators probably didn't have all the technological advances yet either. And the tribe were amazing hunters also. It all worked for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was surprisingly good. Liked the characters, get a ton of Predator on screen, some really suspenseful scenes and a lot of fun. My only complaint would be a little dodgy CGI but it didn’t ruin the film. It was violent but the tone was so fun and cartoonish I didn’t worry about it. My kid loved it and wants to watch the original tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,067 Posted September 4, 2022 Just watched it. Not bad at all. Nice cinematography and production value. Did anyone else think main Injun gal looked a bit like Aubrey Plaza? Also best character was the dog. He kicked ass. Who's a good boy? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
