Or the F&F could follow this franchise, and F&F11 could be they are in 1775 and Dominic Turetto has the fastest horse drawn carriage. "I want a 30 second horse!"

If the Rock doesn't visit the set and give Vin Diesel permanent brain damage in the meantime. It might be possible to make this movie.

Meh. Best Predator since the 1st, but probably a once and done for me. Worth a watch, but ill forget it exists within a week.

Have watched it 4 times now as there is NOTHING on TV I haven't seen and noticed every time how they finally got the stealth tech right.
It distorts when hit and can't combat debris like in the wind storm or blood soaking.
Very close to what they been working on many years with mirroring, light redirection and so on.

yeah, Predators are "hunters", and who the hell knows what exact standard they consider fair for hunting. Our standards are hard to define. baiting, sniping, flashlights, etc. versus fishing.. nets, etc..

sniping from their space ship, is apparently not fair. They have the tech. Giant bombs is not fair. (but ok to use to prevent their tech/bodys being taken) and even that its not clear which it is. is the self destruction to prevent themselves from being taken as a trophy? or just to keep the tech out of others hands? the later movies, showing predators honoring humans, would suggest its more about keeping the tech out of human hands.

Avp did show them change weapons when dealing with xenomorphs, showing they do handicap themselves to their target.

Thought it was the 2nd best movie I have seen this year after Top Gun. Surprised they dropped it direct to streaming. It is close in tone and feeling to the original movie and the best predator movie since the original.

Wonder if it is considered cultural appropriation to have the main actress who is Sioux playing a Commanche?

I read more into it, apparently since Fox was all over the place with licensing, if this got a theatrical run it would have had to go onto HBO Max. I remember watching the Bobs Burgers movie and wondering how it ended up there since Disney owns it now and apparently its for a lot of film.

Even as far back as the first Predator, he refused to attack someone who was unarmed

Could a Predator beat a prequel era Jedi Knight? Not Anakin, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Mace Windu level but just your average rank and file Jedi.

Maybe I missed some shit but didn't the predator only use weapons depending on what he was fighting? Like guns and arrows he would use his higher end weapons?

Sounds about right. He used blades and his hands when fighting the animals. Use arrows on the natives. When the French trappers used traps on him he started using traps on them. Using weapons to be on par with what he is fighting.

in every instance he's overmatched them by centuries

rattle snake, lemme use dual 2ft long wolverine claws

injun arrows, lemme use auto targeting fire and forget javelin slugs

fur trap, lemme use superheated melto net

I mean ya, it’s never fair. But neither is hunting in most cases. But there is a big difference between flying around in a helicopter blasting deer with a minigun vs some dude using an AR-15 vs a deer
