I can't see how Fred Dekker claims "the formula was contradicted" as being a legitimate comeback for what is PREDATOR equivalent of ALIEN Resurrection.
PREDATORs collect the skulls of "game" as trophies, a point we are horrified to see how ruthless killers they are and its the lore we respect.
The whole gene splicing and spinal fluid was just convoluted B-movie crap, how is that better?
The self parody of "the upgrade PREDATOR is an upgrade" get it? Get it? Didn't work for TERMINATOR "Genesys" won't work for PREDATOR.
I read an interesting article on why THE PREDATOR flopped (other than f**king with the PREDATOR legacy).
- Nothing we haven't scene before- PREDATOR VS PREDATOR and Pred Dogs (PREDATORS 2010), PREDATOR running around a small-town on modern day earth causing chaos (ALIENS VS PREDATOR 2 Requiem- 2007/8)
- Relying on knowledge of previous (and superior) film entries to appreciate in plot references (PREDATOR- PREDATOR 2)
- Suggesting without teasing a more eventful movie or a tie-in to ALIENS (PREDATOR 2- part deux) in sequels THE PREDATOR can't be its own thing and be an event movie first time around.
All we needed was PREDATOR with modern day movie making. The budget and creative teams were there but they dropped the ball.
Quote from: The Shuriken on Jan 06, 2019, 03:55:35 PMThis is what I was thinking. Is it toxic now to just dislike something?
Urgh "toxic" is just a lazy Liberal ad-hominem term used, because they can't be bothered to engage with someone in a (creative) argument based on true or false statements.
Its like quitting a game and then declaring victory because you called time and took your ball home.
Besides "THE PREDATOR" isn't exactly a Liberal friendly movie with all the "toxic masculinity" and Olivia Munn not being some Mary Sue who arm barred and defeated the 10 foot PREDATOR with her feminist strength.
Then the whole "PREDATOR statuary rape/sex offender" thing with one of Shane Black's own casted buddies and Olivia Munn using PREDATOR as a buzzword for evil "toxic masculinity" and "sexual predators".
Can someone fart to change the subject. oh well here's some Robot Chicken instead.
