  1. That isn't an example of Autism. Autistic people would be smart enough to actually have a back-up plan.

  2.  @RS-kt6bo  Everyone in prior Predator films had a level of combat experience which is why they were hunted by the Predator to begin with. Dutch and his team were crack mercenaries while Dillion was CIA-SAD which means he was came from a Tier One Special Forces unit. Harrigan and his fellow detectives were in the LAPD during a time where the city was notorious for extremely high crime rates. Everyone in Predators were experienced killers in some capacity. The Predator's main character was a Ranger Sniper. This girl isn't even a proper hunter so the Predator wouldn't bother with her.

  3.  @matthewzablocki5310  Because we are familar with the formula by this point.
    6
  4. Dutch and his team were mercenaries, but the protagonist from The Predator was Army Special Forces being a Ranger Sniper.
    5
  5.  @thesupremegentleman1444  Not really we see in Predator that there are stories about the Predator among the locals of Val Verde who describe as a demon that comes during the hot season to hunt the warriors.
    4
  6.  @NostalgicGamerRickOShay  I think North Africa, CBI, or the Pacific would work better as The Eastern Front was more characterized by being extremely cold when Predators typically hunt in areas where it extremely hot like the Sahara Desert.
    4
  7. Well back in Predator we saw Arrows didn't really hurt them and Dutch was using explosive arrows. Also the trap didn't even work as the Jungle Hunter saw through the trap and was crushed under the counter-weight
    4
  8.  @darksiders18  They already did that idea in AvP but at least there it was because the Plasma Casters were supposed to be given to them when they reached the Pyramid but the humans took them. That is really a case of lazy writing as we see in all the movies including the first one that there are multiple low-tech ways to make the Plasma caster not work such as caking yourself in mud to hide your heat signature. Arnie beat the Jungle Hunter with the most advanced weapon being used was just slapping a 40mm grenade launcher round on a stick as an explosive arrow.

  9.  @billybatson7852  Not likely they didn't take ten years to make more vision than Infrared. They had that for a long since they hunt Xenomorphs too which don't show in Infrared at all. The Jungle Hunter just didn't use anything but thermal imaging because he didn't realize Dutch was hiding his heat signature unlike the City Hunter who recognized what the government goons were doing in the slaughterhouse.
    3
  10. Sounds cool actually. I think another good pitch would be a Western-themed Predator where you have bunch of stagecoach passengers trapped in the Mojave when the coach breaks down.
    3
  11.  @KitsyKitsune-Vtuber  Russian and German wouldn't work as well as the Eastern Front was mostly during the winter or muddy. Predators are long established as being attracted to conflict areas but also extreme heat. So having them go to North Africa in WWII would make more sense.
    3
  12. No he didn't the Jungle Hunter saw through the trap and was taken out using the counterweight.
    3
  13. And don't forget this is with a hunter-gatherer society.
    3
  14. Well basically every Predator movie has been trying to put Dutch from the first movie back in it (Keyes from Predator 2 was meant to be Dutch, Predators was originally pitched as having Dutch and the other characters being put in a type of Gladiator tournament on the Predator homeworld and when they rejected for budget reasons, they planned an ending where Dutch was shown leading his Predator Clan after the Mr. Black was killed, and one of the ideas before using the Predator killer suit in The Predator was to have Dutch in the pod other ideas included Newt from Aliens.)
    3
  15. There were two black characters and don't forget that one of the characters is a latina.
    2
  16. It skins unworthy prey
    2
  17.  @isaiasanchez1987  That doesn't even make sense. Cold Water wouldn't dampen your temperature. Humans are warm-blooded meaning we have built-in processes in our body to our body temperature at an optimum level regardless of the external temperature. The mud trick words because he was so heavily caked in the stuff, it hid his heat signature.
    2
  18.  @SIR1U5  You think there are no tribes that don't hunt for trophies? I have some beachfront property in Kansas for you.
    2
  19.  @SIR1U5  Well that is hardly true. There going to be trophy hunters in that tribe. Why else would you go after a bear? A deer would provide the needed meet without the danger.
    2
  20.  @tekajikuyalkrul5111  Bullets are actually effective. The Predator bled from either a 5.56 or 7.62 NATO round from the scene where everyone was demolishing the treeline hence the line "If it bleeds we can kill it!" The Jungle Hunter is then seen treating a bullet wound in the next scene. Predator 2 we see the City Hunter get knocked out from 9 shotgun blasts to the chest. In Predators we see the Tracker Predator bleed from Nikolai shooting 7.62 Tokarav TT-33 at him. The Predator has the Ultimate Predator die from a couple of .45 rounds to the face after the ship crashed. Bullets were just fine you just need something like Ol' Painless.
    2
  21.  @SuperPeterok  Getting to die gloriously during a hunt makes every movie a win for them.
    2
  22.  @SuperPeterok  We had that in AvP
    2
  23. No that was a good game.
    2
  24. Except if you watched Predator you would know they hunted humans since at least 1715.
    2
  25.  @All-Fur-Coat_No-Trousers  Not hardened steel. There is a comic that made it clear the Flintlock came from a Pirate who weren't known for wearing armor. That said cutlasses are pretty decent,.
    2
  26. Even in Predator the explosive arrows didn't really hurt it and other films show them being immune to some low caliber rounds like 9mm. You need at minimum a 7.63 Tokerav or .45 ACP to get it to bleed but no Predator has been killed with just a gun as they are gluttons for punishment.
    2
  27. Except there isn't one singular Predator. They are a species of hunters and each movie had a different Predator.
    2
  28. No Thanos didn't use the Power Stone.
    2
  29. Don't think comsume product.
    2
  30. Except this placement isn't accurate tribes like hers would be hunter-gathers or traders and the hunters were all men.
    2
  31. Nor from what I heard from other natives in this comment section.
    2
  32.  @delfordbobjr8633  Look at the other comments. There are natives who are calling this crap.
    2
  33.  @delfordbobjr8633  Because they specifically identify themselves as such.
    2
  34. I heard they ripped-off a fan film.
    2
  35. No it isn't. Historically accurate would be bad guys on both sides.
    2
  36. Not in the first movie as it wasn't set in Colombia but Val Verde. In the second it only went after Colombians because they were even better armed than the entire LAPD.
    2
  37. I am more interesting in the idea they proposed of a Predator movie set during WWII. Having it set in North Africa would be a perfect premise.
    2
  38.  @ctrlaltdebug  If it knew Dutch's tech level it wouldn't instant kill plasma when we don't have that technology yet.
    2
  39. No it does it doesn't really the time period to have a woman taking on a Predator and winning. When on of these things can throw around Arnold like a ragdoll, she has no chance.
    2
  40.  @PeacepiperF20  The Austim thing which only applied to the clan the Ultimate Predator was from was actually them trying to hunt individuals with good genes so they can add their genetic trait to their own genome and become better hunters.
    2
  41. That wasn't what the movie did. The Fact there was Fugitive Predator indicated the Ultimate Predator was not the rule but the exception likely another case of a tribe of outcast in their society like the Super Predators from Predators who were exiled to the planet they made into a game preserve in that movie. The original climax actually had the Loonies teaming up with more traditional Predators aginst the Ultimate Predator. Also It was Autism not Aspergers but that plot point was still stupid as hell.
    2
  42. Well if a Predator can thrown Dutch like a ragdoll and swing a Xenomorph from the tail it is could life a bear above its head.
    2
  43.  @freecat1278  Tobacco was introduced by the English.
    2
  44.  A Common Man  Only because of a counter-weight it saw the trap coming from a mile away
    2
  45. Predators called.
    2
  46. If she is not pregnant and armed she is fair game.
    1
  47.  @frankvonfrauner  I am sure this is set pre-colonial time so they shouldn't speak English at all.
    1
  48. I know one two but that woman is muscular, has her own futuristic weapons, and is called Commander Shepard.
    1
  49. It wouldn't The Predator wouldn't slaughter the whole tribe just the armed warriors.
    1
  50.  @non-binaryjesus  They don't bind to the user.
    1
  51. They have Armor in the movies but it is typically kept to a minimum because they are incredibly durable.
    1
  52.  @thelunchlady8276  There seems to multiple species based on clans having different ideas. In Predators it was hinted that the Super Predators actually engaged in gene-splicing to improve themselves with the director later stating they were exiled for this taboo practice before they turn the planet in the film in a their private hunting grounds. The Predator expanded on this further with the Ultimate Predator.
    1
  53. Seeing Sly do that in the kinda play fighting you see with a father and son playing together wouldn't be a bad idea.
    1
  54. No Muskets were better. You don't need to be mounted on a horse they made whole new tactics just to take down horses with muskets.
    1
  55. No Dutch had explosive arrows and only because of clever use of a counterweight.
    1
  56.  @rynolascavio3381  Explosive arrows are well beyond what the Comache could do.
    1
  57. Well I mean if don't know about gunpowder she has no chance of surviving the explosion as she wouldn't know anything about bombs.
    1
  58.  @HaCheckmate  Not females but pregnant females and if you are pregnant you can't kill them even self-defense as seen in Predator 2 and Predator Concrete Jungle. It is the child that makes a pregnant woman off-limits.
    1
  59.  @michdich8996  Nothing says honor like shooting a dude with a mini gun when back is turned,
    1
  60.  @isaiasanchez1987  That still doesn't seem like it would work well to hid your body temperature. It would only work short term while Mud lasts a bit longer.
    1
  61.  @isaiasanchez1987  His vision isn't based on US rays it is thermal imaging infared.
    1
  62.  @SIR1U5  The trailer implies she is hunting the bear. It was just minding its own business and didn’t act aggressive towards her at all.
    1
  63. Except not really. That they branded her because she killed a Xenomorph. The other predators in the movie were male.
    1
  64. Predators live for centuries. They have been hunting on Earth since 1715 at the minimum. We know that Predators don't play fair either as they use plasma weapons when our weapons are hit or miss if they will even hurt it.
    1
  65. Except the Power Stone didn't mean he was able to. Thanos was long established as being a major threat at Marvel and he was able to put up a good fight in Endgame with none of the stones even breaking Captain America's shield. The movie also clearly shows the stones glowing when he activates one which he didn't do when fighting Hulk.
    1
  66.  @Reijen  Explosive arrows didn't even really hurt it and that is beyond what this tribe could have access to as they haven't traded with the Europeans to get gunpowder yet.
    1
  67.  @Reijen  Probably nonesense as I don't think flint arrow heads would realistically hurt one.
    1
  68. That isn't like for like. Plasma caster isn't the same as an MP5
    1
  69.  @walterpeck5214  Only a very very fringe group. Battlefield V was woke garbage we can all agree (particularly with the Nordlys and Trailleur war stories) but The Last Tiger was still praised for the characters despite it having you plays as the Germans against the Americans because like Das Boot, it reminded people not everyone in the Wehrmacht was a Nazi.
    1
  70.  @walterpeck5214  Depends on the games. Most of the games that do it tend to be games that are trying to market towards Germany where due to their past it is illegal for the Swastika to be used in anything unless it has artistic or educational purpose and that didn't include video games until a recent landmark case in 2018 which prior to had games classified as children's toys.
    1
  71.  @SuperPeterok  Except that movie did have them win.
    1
  72.  @SuperPeterok  The Final Girl is oldest trope in horror films if that is a problem for you pick another genre.
    1
  73. Well Heat doesn't have to be equatorial. The second movie was about them hitting LA during a really bad heat wave and a major three way gang war.
    1
  74. Shane Black didn't direct Predator he was only an actor in it playing Hawkins. John MicTerran who also directed the original Die Hard directed Predator.
    1
  75. Except we Predator willing to hunt armed women. Predators one of the protagonists was a female IDF sniper. It was only because that cop was pregnant she was spared as it is very heavily implied The City Hunter killed the old lady with the revolver.
    1
  76. Shoot it can work just aim for the eye. Or bring more than one arrow like maybe 50 arrows would put it down?
    1
  77.  @delfordbobjr8633  You clearly haven't as they aren't hard to find.
    1
  78. Except that is not true at all. Predator gives a good idea of how long they hunted on Earth by having Micheal Harrigan getting a flintlock which has the year 1715 engraved on it. Even before gunpowder was discovered, we have driving species many times our size into extinction.
    1
  79.  @nhanon67as  They brought disease and engaged in plenty of conflicts between tribes the details of which are pretty gruesome.
    1
  80.  @SugerRushStBenard  We see what female Predators look in Predator Hunting Grounds and they have boobs. None of the Predators in the films have them.
    1
  81.  @TheFirelordist  Fire works damn well to hide you as seen in Predators they would probably figure it is notices fire after a few attacks.
    1
  82. The Jungle Hunter was shown throwing Dutch around like a ragdoll.
    1
  83.  @billybatson7852  The movie made it clear Dutch was out of his league. He didn't beat the Jungle Hunter to death he needed to use a counterweight to crush the Jungle Hunter.
    1
  84.  @RS-kt6bo  Except he explicitly violates the culture of the Yautja.
    1
  85.  @BSM-vw6cf  They don’t attack opponents that are busy fighting someone else.
    1
  86. The actually incription at Roanoke was CRO. That said I think it would be cool if we had Predator movie about the Tunguska Event.
    1
  87. No they are not.
    1
  88. It would still use cloaking and atomic bombs. It still used those when Dutch was just using explosive arrows.
    1
  89.  @ctrlaltdebug  No it would. The Jungle Hunter used the plasma caster against Dutch when he used a bow so this one wouldn't drop down to a bow too.
    1
  90.  @stephentyree9296  Yep and in general the Plasma Caster is OP compared to human weapons as we see the Predators shrug off most handgun rounds and it seems you need either a very powerful round like 7.63 Tokerav or a rifle to begin thinking of hurting it. I remember the Subway scene in Predator 2 Bill Paxton unloaded a 9mm pistol into the City Hunter and it didn't even bleed.
    1
  91. No that had decent characters and some cool kills.
    1
  92. And the Ewoks needed a hijacked AT-ST to win.
    1
  93.  @randybobandy9828  If you have a pack of dogs it is smart. One dog isn't.
    1
  94. The Ewoks needed a captured AT-ST to win though.
    1
  95.  @onefadedgunner3281  Correct. And he broke Captain America's shield no stones required.
    1
  96. You have no idea what that word means.
    1
  97. She only got it because Bond was retired. They aren't just going to not use that number.
    1
  98. But it takes a lot to put the thing down. Dutch never killed The Jungle Hunter in the first movie as it died in a last-ditch suicide bombing attack to kill Dutch. The City Hunter took multiple rounds and got its arm cut off before it was finally killed with one of its own weapons. AvP had them going up against Xenomorphs which got all the kills. Requiem had Wolf die from a freaking nuke. Predators required not one but two characters to take their own lives to take out two of the Predators and The Predator had the Ultimate Predator took an extreme amount of punishment being shot, stabbed, blown up, set on fire, thrown from a great height, lost an arm to his forcefield, a massive explosion from a ship crash, blown up by his own wrist rocket, and shot multiple times in the face before finally dying.
    1
  99. They are fine with hunting armed women who aren't pregnant.
    1
  100. Predators don't care about fair challenge. They use plasma weapons against people with guns that can't hurt it it uses drones and hunting dogs against people armed with shivs, it uses a self-destruct as a last ditch attempt to kill prey.
    1
  101. Which this isn't the formula is predictable.
    1
  102.  @BaalWorship  They are following a formula they used in other movies that are woke. And this movie is following all the bad tropes to a T. It isn't subverting it by having her fail to kill the bear. Because we know she will magically become good enough to kill a Predator.
    1
  103.  @BaalWorship  Except it wasn't he was magically good enough it was established he was a pilot.
    1
  104.  @BaalWorship  You are deliberately using a strawman argument here.
    1
  105.  @BaalWorship  Except you were not. This formula isn't going to a heroes journey as she will not have a character arc to go with it.
    1
  106.  @BaalWorship  When you are a movie buff you know how certain movies will go.
    1
  107.  @BaalWorship  We already got enough from the trailer to the writers don't know the lore.
    1
  108.  @BaalWorship  You fail to realize Predators live for centuries and the lore issues and obvious plot holes (how do they know about the laser sight when we haven’t even invented the lightbulb?) and the lore issues are from what has been long established as their culture such as how they don’t kill opponents that are already in a fight which it did with the bear in the trailer quite clearly. The technology level is off as they already have plasma caster space travel and cloaking but still have primitive looking gear that doesn’t match what ancient Predator gear we saw elsewhere.
    1
  109.  @BaalWorship  Predators lore is about the stuff we already from stand-alone stuff.
    1
  110.  @BaalWorship  Which complies ignores the established lore. And makes no sense. How can he be feral if has their advanced tech?
    1
  111.  @BaalWorship  Yeah I am the poser for critiquing what they give me to view. How about you stop making excuses.
    1
  112.  @BaalWorship  You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means. Mostly because I am critiquing the trailer.
    1
  113.  @BaalWorship  Critiquing a trailer is all this was about man don’t try to pretend this is something it is not. You are losing the argument.
    1
  114.  @BaalWorship  My own asumptions are informed by the trailer they put out.
    1
  115.  @BaalWorship  I could ask you the same thing. I have knowledge of the franchise to back me up at least.
    1
  116.  @BaalWorship  You act like someone can't critique a trailer which you can and I did.
    1
  117.  @BaalWorship  None of these arguments are flawed in the slightest bad advertising can make or break a movie by itself. I know far more about movies than certainly do so that arguments isn't flawed and you act like critiquing a trailer and using it judge the movie when they release a trailer to allow to judge a movie is wrong somehow.
    1
  118.  @BaalWorship  It is not a bad argument because as I mentioned marketing is important. You don't want to have a bad trailer which this was.
    1
  119.  @BaalWorship  You are just ignoring my point about marketing?
    1
  120.  @BaalWorship  Judging something based on marketing isn't what posers do it is common sense. They release this material to be judged.
    1
  121.  @BaalWorship  You are acting awfully pretentious the failed to make the movie look and 9 times out 10 a movie with bad marketing isn't that good.
    1
  122.  @BaalWorship  And I am to say it is not.
    1
  123.  @BaalWorship  I can’t because calling something bad is called having an opinion and that isn’t wrong.
    1
  124.  @BaalWorship  Reviews are not always an indication of quality. John Carpenter’s The Thing was torn to shreds when first released.
    1
  125.  @BaalWorship  There is no such thing as an objectively good movie.
    1
  126. Well the original movie had Candyman not do anything wrong either. He was killed by a Lynch Mob for having a consensual relationship with a white woman at a time that was still taboo. My issue they the fact they took the razor apples urban legend as a real thing.
    1
  127. There is suspension of disbelief and then there is suspending insanity. This is the later.
    1
  128.  @charliecane3621  Except it is woke it is anacronistic to have a female hunter like this.
    1
  129. You really use the term beta unironically? That is a beta move as is your strawman argument.
    1
  130. No it wasn't That movie had characters that were good.
    1
  131. Nah Plasma Caster would be more appropiate if you get ranged weapons they get ranged weapons after all we see regular bullets vs Plasma Caster is not the most fair way to fight as the Plasma Caster is a one hit but not all rounds actually hurt the Predator. It seems that you need at minimum a round that has the energy of a 7.63 Tokerav or a .45 to even think of hurting them let alone kill one.
    1
  132. That wouldn't work for the Predators in the lore. Dutch used a bow in Predator and it wasn't until they decided to go hand to hand that the Jungle Hunter discarded his weapons.
    1
  133.  @charliegone1652  And even then the trap didn't work as intended. The Predator saw through the trap and Dutch had to use the counterwieght to win. Plus Dutch had explosive arrows.
    1
  134.  @42billybob  From what we see from the visor, the process isn't really willing and I am sure the Fugitive was the one we saw on the operating table He was probably from a rival clan and captured to be used as a test subject for the procedure so they didn't end up wasting the life of one of their if it killed him. And as I said the original climax was going to be similar to Predators with classic Predators helping our heroes against the new Predator though the trialers make it seem they were going to be more successful than than in Predators.
    1
  135.  @notundermywatch3163  No it had some good horror moments. And the comedy helped us get to know the characters which is important for any horror film.
    1
  136.  @notundermywatch3163  Yes because nothing is as dark as Shane Black telling Billy bad jokes or Arnhold doing a knock-knock joke before blasting a dude out of a building with a 40 mike mike.
    1
  137.  @notundermywatch3163  Except the jokes wouldn't used wouldn't fly in a PG-13 movie they are the same type of jokes used in the first movie and weren't done when the cast was aware of the Predator yet. Hell Arnold's jokes weren't with the commandos and it was Hawkin's Shane Black's character who made all the jokes with the group.
    1
  138. Royce wasn't an Army Ranger he was a mercenary. The Army Ranger was in The Predator. You also left Lawerence Fishbourne as a member of 1st Air Cavalry and RUF Death Squad man.
    1
  139. He didn't use it. The stones glow when used and that stone never glowed during the fight.
    1
  140. Predator 2 was actually got it wasn't set in New York but in LA. There also wasn't too much lore just some additional bits about their code of honor and gadgets. And we had Danny Glover and Bill Paxton who were good substitutes for Arnold. And Alien Vs Predator Requiem did the Alien Infestation thing you don't need it be three hours.
    1
  141. Not really. Only when they were named Custer who couldn't use tactics to save his life.
    1
  142. I really hate how primitive the technology looks in the trailer. The Predators live for centuries and we see they more less had the same tech used in Predator since the 1930s so it wouldn't that much less advanced during this time.
    1
  143. There can be a lot worse than that Alien Covenant for example.
    1
  144. Bears are like furry tanks. The issue is him basically kill stealing that isn't their MO in the franchise.
    1
  145. Really? They were okay to use it against people with only smalls arms that barely hurt it or even a dude who was armed with only a shiv.
    1
  146. Dutch had explovsive arrows made from the 40mm rounds for his M203 though.
    1
  147. It is hard to it subtly in this time period.
    1
  148.  @biokido575  I thought domesticated dogs came from Europe or Asia.
    1
  149.  @turbokid8719  Not likely Horses were Old World animals.
    1
  150. Not really it takes a lot to kill one of these things.
