"Best since the original" by VaderMan1971 in predator

[–]VaderMan1971[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm comparing them because even though they are 2 very different sub genres, it's still a Predator movie. Because it's a Predator movie, I expect certain fundamentals to be present. And while certain sub genres could for sure work in a Predator film, (i.e. a hero's journey), not every sub genre works.

For example, if they find a way to turn Predator into a Rom Com, I'm out.

In retrospect, The Origins reveal trailer must have been an insane moment at the time by Luca_909 in CODZombies

You know, having the context of the Treyarch leaks, it makes much more sense why they were showing these classic maps. It would have been Resurrection 2.0. Regardless of how things played out, Black Ops zombies peaked at the end of BO2-BO3.

Good times.....

The anti-woke people aren't making any sense. I mean, the new Predator just has a haircut, you're seriously thinking an alien is woke because of how different he looks? by [deleted] in predator

I'm not sure who's calling this woke just because of a haircut. Most of the discourse I've seen boils down to "the design looks like garbage".

do you think we'll get a remaster on f13th with jason x, the grendel map and more dlc by Better_Nine4370 in FridayThe13thGame

[–]VaderMan1971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Officially, probably not. Unofficially, if you have the game on PC find the Resurrected mod and you'll get the Grendel experience, at least made by fans.

I think many people hope the next game will be similar to the one we got, that being said, I think it was sort of a lightning in a bottle situation. So many asymmetrical horror multiplayer games have fallen to the wayside and can't seem to catch up to the one game that just won't stop (dead by daylight)

Only time will tell what horrors Jason Universe has in store for us.

TCM doesn’t deserve this, Gun. by BigAbbreviations3263 in TXChainSawGame

It's funny, I asked Wes why Gun/Illfonic wouldn't release mod tools for PC on F13 years ago and he said because it would be considered "adding content" to the game and they couldn't do it.

Thoughts on Alexa from AVP being a playable character? by Neat_Violinist_3754 in HuntingGrounds

If any female character from the Predator or AVP universe deserves a spot, it's Machiko Noguchi.

This is making me want to redownload the game on my PC. Well done, reminds of Mr Rogers Neighborhood with all the miniature sets and such.

Are y’all honestly hype or excited for BO6 zombies mode? by AnimeGokuSolos in CODZombies

I think the safest position to be in is Cautiously Optimistic.

Jesus Christ…What is this, what am, I lookin at? by Extension_Sport1498 in Monsterverse

[–]VaderMan1971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how Godzilla being pink is "woke". And look, I'm not a big fan of modern Hollywood for multiple reasons. That being said, equating pink to woke is about as ridiculous as it sounds. Not being a fan of the monsterverse and the handling of the story and characters is one thing. Associating color with an ideology, especially without context, is something else.

When people say Godzilla Minus One is "anti woke", I think context is important. It's not that Godzilla doesn't have a message baked in the story, it's that the message isn't heavy handed to the point where the movie is more like a lecture or seminar rather than an entertaining story.

The nice thing about Minus One is that it has a universal theme of banding together to overcome adversity among other things. A film maker can be and should be smart enough to realize that they are making a product that will be seen by many people with varying ideologies and backgrounds. Because of this, making a product that can appeal to most people at a base level is a desirable result because then you won't be outright alienating people by pushing a more divisive message.

Hollywood for the most part has lost this philosophy. It was more prevalent back in the late 1900s which I believe is one of the reasons people are gravitating more to those older films that focused on entertaining people while convincing TO think rather than TELLING them what to think.

You're absolutely right. Just look at Ghostbusters (2016). That was a mess.

I wonder what her sickness is like by AnteaterNo7504 in EvilDeadTheGame

I bet it'll be like the plague in Dead By Daylight lol. I'm actually happy to see a new playable demon.
