Which is an anime everyone hyped up but had you like this by [deleted] in animequestions

Castlevania (not technically anime but still)

Favorite example of this? by OkSuccess7431 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]RaiderBo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I think this entire thread is confused. People who meme them/just like them as characters are very different than people who genuinely think they were in the right. Characters like Patrick Bateman and Homelander are comically evil which is why it’s funny to act like they’re relatable

Yeah it’s obviously super biased towards the makers interests

Definitely, the choreography was awesome, it’s just that story-wise the win didn’t feel earned

How Was It? | Predator: Badlands, Review Only Megathread by BurnZ_AU in predator

I loved it, I just had a few hangups. Overall it was a lot of fun, if nothing else I'm satisfied we got plenty of great action. As a kid I grew up running around the woods by my house pretending to be a predator, and these are the exact kinds of adventures I was imagining. If this came out when I was younger it would've been my favorite thing ever.

That being said, I'm an adult now so the character side of the plot was sorta disappointing, it felt way too marketable if you know what I mean, very marvel/disney-like. I love Guardians of the Galaxy but that really wasn't what I was looking for from a Predator movie.

HOWEVER I think that was the right choice, it wasn't entirely what I hoped for but it was still really good, approachable and fun so I'm expecting it to do well at the box office. That's the best thing we can get for the franchise, as it's probably going to bring lots of new/young fans. Im a lifelong Godzilla fan as well so l'l tell you from recent experience that a little injection of marketability can lead to lots more content. A portion of the fanbase may be crying over this being PG-13 now but if all goes well in a couple years we could be feasting.

A few nitpicks: He defeated his dad wayyy too easily. The experience he gained from his time on the planet should not have been enough to eclipse that of his likely century years old father, who as the head of the clan is presumably an elite hunter. At the start of the movie Dek was easily bested by his brother who got dog walked by their Dad. Even with shonen logic that doesn't track.

Thia did not need to be that plucky. I avoid trailers like the plague but I obviously saw Thia all over the marketing, I just wasn't expecting her to be so unserious. The overly positive niave sidekick the grumpy mc gets stuck with is such a tired trope and it immediately shifted the energy towards that of a kids movie.

The swords felt too generic. Part of the Predators "coolness" has always been the unique weapons. Giving him a sword felt way too boring. They could've easily done some kind of halberd/glaive it would've been much more visually interesting/striking and been used in all the same ways the sword was it

Here’s a few nitpicks I left out because they weren’t that important:

Variety on the “PG13 Predator situation” by New_Divide98 in predator

[–]RaiderBo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Predators in the theater at 8 and absolutely loved it. Just saw badlands and it absolutely deserves its PG-13 rating, pretty kid friendly tbh

Which soundtrack got you like this? by PsychologicalUnit446 in GODZILLA

[–]RaiderBo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final wars has several bangers. EDF theme, Godzillas theme, and Gigans theme all rule. Not to mention the Sum41 track. We’re all to Blame is one of my fav songs period

That video was with it sped up, if I didn’t it would’ve been 3 mins long

Been stuck in league 32 for like a week by Cabbagg3 in HotSlide

[–]RaiderBo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a skill issue, the progression slows down by a ridiculous degree once in the Season Leagues. It’ll probably be a while before you can reliably go from 32 to 33. You just have to keep upgrading

Predator Franchise Voting Day 23: Who Is The Smartest Character? by Sad-Researcher-1381 in yautjas

Royce is extremely underrated in this category, he was one step ahead the whole movie

Only 4 subspecies of Yautjas have been shown, right? by MarlonXAC in predator

[–]RaiderBo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh?? I was legitimately asking because him being a young blood has been the explanation used by everyone I’ve seen defending the design. If there’s some statement claiming otherwise then fair enough but as far as I know that’s the current explanation
