So what's all the quiet about!? I'm bored as hell!

Yeahhhhh, its language like this that turns me off from siding or having anything really to do with your opinion. Like no offense but those are garbage takes, its reminds me of an ex-friend who was hardcore right wing anti-woke anti-progression who shat on anything of the sort. Which is funny because we watched Prey and he didn’t pick up on any woke/feminist/minority themes, which he hardcore seeks out and looks for just to fuel his arguments. Yeah I never got any of those vibes from Prey or Romulus that you list off. I also loved Romulus since Fede Alvarez directed it, and his re-sequel-make of Evil Dead is one of my favorite horror films of all time.

Fan service. Its literally invoking the audience to do the Leonardo DiCaprio point-at-the-screen meme. Like I get it, but it doesn’t need to be done, come up with new one liners, make something that people will remember from YOUR film, not immediately think about the far superior original.

I’ve been meaning to watch this again for a few weeks now, but I do remember it being a very entry in the franchise. Pred 2 will always be my favorite and best sequel, but what Predators did with adding in Super Preds and expanding the lore was something the franchise desperately needed at the time.

I’m not getting into this debate but I will say that I liked prey as a movie and it holds the same spot as predators for me.

Nope and I won’t even argue into it, feel free to have your preference as anyone else :D

I’m just gonna say the super preds design is pretty much on par with Feral.
And at that point the big headed dummy looking preds took off.

AvP is not about Preds only, altho it revolved around mainly. It is also another franchise.
I’m ranking the movies overall, not what can be best compared to the Pred OG.
Yes I get the nostalgic jungle fever with it as well and love the acting, right until I see the wannabe primeval savage weirdos with the big heads, obnoxious masks and laugh out loud, from there on the circus is queued and let the copy pasting or boring writing begin.
Ranking Predators over P2… wow… just wow…
Not worth bothering to articulate or talk about anything else.
But thank you for the input.

You must be american, if from everything I just wrote you latch on to the obvious politics and ideological vision stance of the writer and their team.
And I don’t really care what wrong stereotypes you can fixate to me.
Before I have an opinion, I value things on much higher scale. Sometimes the most important context is in what is not being said.
Mind you, all these products are pretty much an equivalent of money laundry.

I’m not surprised that you rate these movies on all the wrong factors, some cultlike fan loyalty that has nothing to do with the end product, entirely emotionally or simply your bar is way too low.

Btw did you guys get subtitles for Prey in the theater?
50% or more of the movie is talking to the 300 IQ cute doggo in mumbo jumbo or french speech?
I never understood what the fuck were they saying, kuz I pirated it.
Or was it some -300IQ decision to make the viewers imagination fill in the blanks depending on the scenario?

But yes, I wanted to leave an adequate reply on the topic, not start an argument.
You do you! :D:D:D:D

Bruh you can’t hop on the somewhat open-minded have your own opinion train & then immediately also shit the bed & have an aneurysm about another opinion within the same few breaths.

Either choose the fair enough I respect your opinion route, or the woah you must be an invertebrate waste of air because you have a different opinion from mine route. This was never an argument or debate in the first place, it was just discussion.

So am I. I only mentioned the amount of similarity between AVP & Predators to the original movie because you said this:

Which I disagree with, because saying it has ‘old school’ vibes etc. Implies it has similar vibes to the original movie.

Idek what you’re talking about atp but seeing as you say that you don’t want to argue over any of this we can just leave it there.

Yes I did not express my thoughts properly, I saw that, but did not bother editing :D

It was meant to paint the alien spaceship traveling hunter clans concept and the actual predator design that was much more subtle and highly based on the Original movies, there is also a reason Choppy and Celtic died and our big hero was Scar.

I’m just being polite, since I don’t really care for your opinions and I knew your egos can’t take criticism
or my harsh words over the “beloved” :D
Truth hurts, as they say.
I do come off aggressive or like the “let me tell you” type I suppose.
I will quietly exclude my presence from the topic.
You guys can continue with the subjective discussion. <3
And yes, they really need to let go of the cliche references and settle for a new soon to be annoying meta, but that’s the least of "Whorywood"s problems id say.

I don’t think any dev is willing to touch Rankin and Bass IPs. For the last decade, so many properties have been made into games, Transformers Gen1, TMNT, Ghostbusters…
They won’t touch the beloved Thundercarts, Silverhawks or the might of Tigersharks!

Remember, it has the power of gion and woke culture. :c
