I mean, other than Feral kind of being an idiot at the end and the whole retcon of the flintlock pistol, I don’t know what else is THAT bad…

waiting to see the brother voorhees reply

Well there are a few things:

  • The human characters are pretty much all either poorly acted, poorly written, extremely forgettable, or all of the above except for Taabé

  • Feral’s feats are the most absurdly inconsistent of any Predator in the entire franchise

  • The movie is literally just carried by the action sequences with Feral, and they decide to character assassinate him for the end of the movie both from an intellectual standpoint (he turns braindead) and from a physical standpoint (he magically becomes weak asf)

  • The Protagonist is the least engaging & least relatable of any Protagonist in the entire franchise

  • The throwback quotes to the first Predator movie were not executed well

I can elaborate further on any of these points.

These Reddit dumbasses really love chasing the clout don’t they.

I mean…I can agree with these points, I can. I overlooked a lot of these just due to Prey being, honestly, the best in the franchise since Predator 2, MAYBE Predators. Certainly not the AVPs or The Predator. But if I dig down and critically analyze the film, then yes I can sympathize with your points. I do need to watch it again, but from what I remember yeah, Feral is incredibly inconsistent; he wrestles a fucking grizzly bear and slaughters colonials and indians alike, but against Naru its like he short circuits. Yeah I get Yautjas are cocky and tend to get themselves killed, no way in any logical sense could Naru physically at the very least stand up to him.

And yeah those throwback quotes were atrocious. If we could stop trying to connect franchise entries with repeat one-liners, that would be nice. Watched Alien Romulus the other week, loved it, but that “get away from her you bitch” throwback took me out and I literally cringed.

Predators wasn’t that bad just a bit slow at a start that’s all!

For me, Prey is nowhere near the level of Predator, Predator 2 & Predators. It’s on par with AVP & AVPR, and better than the 2018 movie. Predators 2010 is almost undeniably the best sequel for me.

Exactly. Feral could wrestle & ragdoll a Grizzly Bear, aswell as effortlessly overpower & manhandle several grown men at once. He also reacted faster than a rattlesnake could strike & skewered it on his Wristblades.

Then, magically as soon as he has to fight Naru, he literally stands still & watches her climb onto his back, wrap a rope around his neck, and drag him into a mud pit. He also conveniently cuts his own arm off with his shield, and then mere seconds later he hits Naru in the face with that shield & she has literally zero visible wounds to speak of. This fight scene is quite literally the most unwatchable in the franchise for me.

Idk why they bother to do this all the time. Literally all it does is remind me how much better the other movies are💀

Both the “If it bleeds, we can kill it” & “Get away from her you… bitch” lines from Taabé & Andy were executed so poorly it was as if they were literally embarrassed to say the lines. The mere fact that you can compare the delivery of both lines to the original ones from Arnold Schwarzenegger & Sigourney Weaver makes them even worse.

Like I said above, I think Predators 2010 is pretty undeniably the best sequel for me.

Honestly you guys make too much effort to dispatch bunch of cashgrab flops with talentless and uninspired teams.

Anyway, factually if we have to scale the pred movies:
Predator 1>Predator2>AvP/Predators (although the super preds are hot garbage, so are all the OG throwbacks/copy paste and bad Pred actors, shit special effects and costumes, AvP also held some old school vibes and had a more cannon plot/vibe to AvP franchise, while lettings us see more into the Predverse, depending on the specific subject they are both interchangeable)> anything else after that is barely a Predator movie and keeps breaking the predverse with their nonsense and garbage movie teams.
I actually enjoy The Predators for the comedy and the few cool actors, outside of being another disaster of course.

1st and second movies are absolute masterpieces with practical effects and no CGI, in almost any way to look at them. They sure will look moronic in certain parts, if we look at them realistically with common sense writing.
First movie was directed by McTiernan.
Second movie was directed by Hopkins, which again is a pretty strong argument even by itself!
AvP is a really good movie, but at that point the shitty CGI/cool slowmo kicks in the indusrty and new blood is doing costumes and practical effects (although they were pretty good on most parts), the monster actors were somewhat on point still, let’s not talk about the fight scenes, plus the somewhat failed writing/scenography, so from that point on it’s a snowball of disaster on so many levels.
But AvP although not very liked for some reason have amazing things going for it. The Predators was an awesome breath of fresh air, trying to go back to the roots, along with few nice casted actors and an awesome fundamental plot. Of course not on par with expectations and taking too much liberty.
Not going to bother touching on the rest of movies, it gets worse with every release.

To summarize the latest shit:

Prey - Disney, a hot head feminist minority teenager from few hundred years ago, shown to be an incompetent outsider for not taking its socially expected gender role, proceeds to then show em all and kill some shizos designed (while stomping on almost every possible fundamental/concept of the Predverse/OG movies) egocentric “primeval” looking alien that destroys everything on its path.

Romulus - Disney, nonsense get rich quick teen sci fi horror drama movie plot with hard copy paste of the OG franchise.

Can’t wait to see the new gen z/alpha garbo. :D

Pretty much agree.

Shit take tbh.

AVP doesn’t feel anything like the first two Predator movies. It definitely doesn’t feel more like the original movie than Predators 2010 does either.

Predator > Predators > Predator 2 > AVP

AVP is simply not on the level of those 3 movies. It has good action sequences & fight scenes, and it added a lot to the lore, but besides that, it really wasn’t anything particularly special.
