MORE WOKENESS!

No, but that’s exactly what we are going to get. Everything after Terminator 2 has sucked, with Salvation being somewhat okay. Everything after Aliens (Alien 2 duh) has sucked. Aliens 3 has aged fairly decently though and is far more watchable than anything that came after it. Robocop has been a joke since after Robocop 2.

As for Predator, the franchise has only produced one good film (including the crossovers) since Predator 2 and the fanbase is divided on that one—Predators. The only reason it’s even decent, is because of how much homage it pays to the original. With Hollywood including a very obvious agenda in this film, akin to the nonsense in Battlefield 5, we already know what to expect. The last movie was a dumpster fire I wouldn’t use as toilet paper. This one isn’t going to be much better.

That’s neat that he can say, yeah look how you can compare these things. But 100% factually the pitch for the film was just alien with an S. They set out to make a , what if there was more than 1. Get all the facts before making statements as to not look ignorant to your point

#104

You’re not throwing logic, my lad. You are trying to explain to me that a young Comanche woman can’t defeat a Space Alien Hunter, because something-something crocodiles.
This isn’t facts, that’s just you being a boring pseudo-intellectual nerd, tbh.

I’ll check it out!

Also America by all means “won” the Vietnam war lol something like a 20 to 1 kill rate.

They are literally there though, that’s the thing. Like, I’m sorry, but the fact that you all seem to be unwilling to look at movies as products of their time and at the underlying narratives within those movies makes it hard to talk about really simple things.

#108

Well, I am, in fact. But you’re picking and choosing what you want to hear. And now you’re attempting to shape me as, for lack of a better word, the bad guy. The next thing you’ll say is something along the lines of “People like you” or “I bet you do this, that, and the other thing…”.

Such a great achievement. “Soviets won Afganistan, because half a million civilian causlties.”

This person thinks they are really smart, just regurgitating what they saw in some interview or read online. No sense trying to reason at this point. Was fun attempting to use logic on this forum again tho lol

Ok, so then tell what narrative Full Metal Jacket had. Or Brothers in Arms. Or Saving Private Ryan

#112

Ah comparing 2 things that are only similar on an extreme surface level to attempt a point. Noice. Back at it again with logical fallacies lol

#113

You remind me of every film analysis of Donnie Darko, attempting to explain supernatural occurrences and thread it to some theme of existential crisis when the director said it’s a just a movie. It is not there my friend, we are all discussing OUR opinions.

#114

No, you’re not bad. You’re just a boring nerd who thinks that his weird analogies about crocodiles can justify his point, which is essentially “women bad, no fight space Tarzan”.

#115

I think his analogy holds some water. We are basically evolved primates and Yautja are essentially humanoid lizards.

I’ve had good interactions with him in the past, shame he doesn’t like any dissenting opinions. Oh well, we tried lol

#117

Oh well. How dare fans of a franchise not like where it’s going and voice there thoughts

#118

So when a director says that Aliens is a Vietnam movie he’s saying something else, but when director says that movie is just a movie he’s saying exactly that. Okay.

#119

Y’know what, I had a decent bit typed up here, but I can see we’re all talking to a wall. Regardless of how this argument turned out, I hope you have a good rest of your day

Dude we haven’t liked where many of these franchises have gone since the second films wrapped. It’s the curse of all these movies. It’s very rare that the sequels don’t suck elephant donger.

These are literally the same. A superpower invades a sovereign nation amids the cold war, commits endless war crimes and then withdraws because of its inability to win a guerilla war.
