    Predator: Badlands is both the natural evolution of the Predator franchise and also could end the franchise in a studio executives eyes. How do you make a normal “Predator” movie after it? Or even a “Prey” style film. I love it cause you can only go weirder, pitch wise.

    I was thinking earlier that you could do a tremendous Predator movie where the protagonists are a Viet Cong patrol and the Predator to some degree represents their experience of US military’s combination of arrogance, superior firepower and technology, and ability to inflict terror.

    When the first movie established that the Predator won't attack anyone who's unarmed, I'm not sure why the rest of the franchise doesn't involve everyone just putting their weapons on the floor and slowly backing away apologetically.

    Man of Steel was the first time I remember being shocked by not liking a movie in theaters. Batman v. Superman I expected to dislike. Hellboy (2019) was the first time I felt tempted to walk out of a movie. The Predator was so bad I bought a bottle of vodka and drank half of it on an empty stomach

    Literally, yes. The whole reason Predator works is that it takes a team of crack badass commandos from an 80s action movie, has them act out an 80s action movie for the 30 minutes, and then the Predator shows up and all of a sudden it's a slasher movie, but the commandos DON'T KNOW THAT.

    One thing I really liked about Prey is that, while the Comanche body count is high, they hold their own much better against the Predator than Arnold’s unit in the first film. Naru is smart enough to see its weaknesses, but Taabe and the others are fast, clever, and used to fighting bigger opponents.

    Look, I'm just saying, Prey worked so well because it took the Predator franchise out of its comfort area by going back in time. Carrie should do the same thing with the next film, which should be about Carrie Nation in Kansas City.

    I appreciate that, more than just being a set of three stories, “Predator: Killer of Killers” understands the appeal of the franchise is crashing the Predator into different *types* of movie. The film feels like it’s smashing the Predator into Eggers, Kurosawa and Spielberg.

    If you sync up the Predator movie w/ Sepultura’s Arise — it’s about 22 mins into the film, as they’re creeping through the jungle, when this “Altered State” intro starts; and just as they start blasting that guerrilla camp, the song really kicks off — works like a charm 🤓 #Metalsky #Predator #Arnie
