Well, Kevin Peter Hall was 7’3" and in the suit, he was much taller. I’ll go with say, 8’. I can’t find any actual photos of him in costume next to a tape measure, but I am basing that on BTS pics and video of him in costume, with the biomask off. The head is pretty tall, plus he’s wearing prosthetic feet.
And if not liking the idea of a child defeating a Pred makes me a misogynist, then fuck it, I’ll wear that t-shirt, cuz that’s a shitty idea.
You see the women is gonna kill the predator because it’s writhing on the floor since it got mauled by a bear
Nah, if they go the bear route it would be best if the Pred kills it but loses access to its plasma caster during the fight. Things like that should be used to draw it out and impose limiting factors, not as a straight surrogate for the protagonists own heroism.
That’s what I define as a technical win. Because while technically, the child may land the final blow to the Pred, the bear did all the work. And, to stick with the women’s, we can call that specist-plagirism because not only would she be taking credit for something else’s efforts, but due to the location the story will take place in, it would be a “black” or “brown” bear doing all that damage to the Predator! That’s just not acceptable, so the whole film should be cancelled! 😉
OMG… I was not even aware that they made a version with V2 body! Sweet stuff!
Are we talking about a native american summoning nature spirits to fight the predator now?
I wouldn’t put it past them but just terrible.
I’d like to know your opinion on Japanese cinema, particularly Westerns, where asian actors interpret white american characters… Why is it okay for them in their cinematic industry do it, but not ok in America? Why is it okay in Bollywood for hindi actors to interpret american characters, but not okay for americans to do the same in hollywood? Is it Hollywood any better or more important than other cinemas? Isn’t assuming that, racist in itself?
Japanese society is not a multicultural and multi ethnic one (which is a problem of its own, because it originates in Japanese imperialism, racism, colonialism and xenophobia that are all still very much present). It’s literally an ethnostate. So lack of representation there is a problem, but a different one.
Boo hoo shop put up a Japanese-only sign.
Japan is chill and leftists should go outside more to experience actual racism other than people giving them funny looks.
Even Japanese that aren’t born there will never be considered Japanese. The world is not a utopian marxist melting pot, people segregate themselves into their own communities in america even and america IS the melting pot.
Had a better time in “racist xenophobic imperialist” Japan in a month than I did two days in glorious authoritarian china where they will openly just waste your time for committing the ultimate crime of being both black and american.
But america isn’t either. You go to big cities and sure, there’s people from everywhere around the world, but in the vast majority of cities in the USA that is not the case. More than 70% of the US population is still white, the other big group is not even African American, but latinos, which also happen to have a lot of “white” people among them, although, aside from Argentinians, most latinos are mixed european/african/native-american, regardless of their skin color (example, my older brother is white, I’m brown, my mom is white, my dad is black, my grandad was white, my grandmother was brown, I have cousins in all colors, my wife is white, her mom is brown, and the list goes like that for pretty much everyone else.)
So you actually have no idea about Japanese racism and its impact on small ethnic minorities that live there? Well, that’s not really a surprise, I guess.
Well, good thing that, let’s say, Koreans in Japan don’t encounter racism that literally ruins their lives on a systemic level.

Boo hoo Nazis have boycotted Jewish shops.
Fucking hell.
I love that almost nobody talks about how Ripley was a space trucker, just like any trucker probably could swear up a storm and hold her own in a fist fight from day one
As a person that sees truckers on the regular I agree with this statement
You or I will never be considered japanese. Tough luck. Yes you will 100% be stuck as a foreign language teacher if you want to live there without connections.
People self-segregate and consider others outsiders, of course this is at odds with kumbaya open borders world peace. Not new, go take your russian ass to tour an african ghetto lol. you’ll also never be considered african, me either despite being a “person of color” as you call it.
A shop not accepting outsiders is not equivalent to hitler burning down a jewish bakery. And the rest of the world is not America nor shares western values. Imposing your views on the rest of the world is just as ignorant as the people you complain about.
I really love how is always white people telling minorities “you have to complain, you are being oppressed”… stfu… the one thing I consider the most racist is a white privileged person telling me what the fuck to do.
Sates that savior complex.
People so out of touch they cannot comprehend the thought of being treated as an outsider in an entirely different country and culture.
There are only 3 things that matter to me when it comes to movies anymore. Booty, boobies and body count. You pansy incels, sitting in your moms basement, spending that red pill energy bitching about “wokeness” when you should be in the glorious house of gains turning that childish angst into something useful. Might as well cut that pathetic excuse for a pecker off and give up on any hopes of being a sexual tyrannosaurus. Die mad about it.
I don’t even care about the vast majority of nonsense they want to throw at us today. None of it is any good anyway. Tossing some tits in there only goes so far. And the Predators haven’t really been badass since Wolf croaked.
