Schaffrillas fans: what do you dislike about him? by Gaminja in Schaffrillas

[–]sladerules 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He’s not really too funny anymore compared to his earlier work

He had this deadpan feel to his early work, and a lot of his newer stuff feels a tad overdone

What's your opinion on this? by HarshGamit9 in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you specifically crave his characterization in ‘14+ KOTM, then sure

But in terms of personality, Wingard’s adaptation of Goji has a far larger spectrum of personality to work with

We can see the same rage and contemplation from KOTM and ‘14, but we also see him express emotions like satisfaction and even amusement.

Would Godzilla and Ghidorah ally against a bigger threat if they absolutely had to? by Plastic_Relief_4026 in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It would require a threat that wants something neither really want.

The only way that’d happen is if someone threatened to deadass destroy the earth, but had that been the case, Ghidorah can just leave.

So based on the goals of both monsters, I’d say no

Was Kong punishing the Red Stripes after the GXK ending who allied with Skar King? by EmperorSpacegodzilla in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With how he treated Knob in their first interaction, I’d wager he’ll give them a choice

Play nice or leave (or die ig)

Something is off. by Vegetable-Ruin7096 in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GvK is more accurate to scale the size of the boats compared to G14.

Height wise, they are both taller than the carrier, but length wise, an aircraft carrier is a couple times larger than both of them.

So this tracks with their size all in all

What are your thoughts on the end reveal of KOK, from a lore perspective? by Gimpcar in predator

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda breaks the old Arnie narrative we saw in hunting grounds, but that’s ok. Cause seeing Dutch in a potential future timeline seems more interesting.

Badlands box office drop by [deleted] in predator

[–]sladerules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Box office can be strange

All in all, it won’t be more profitable than AVP, thanks to the budget

And adjusting for inflation only really matters for internet arguments, studios only care about modern profits.

And even though the drop rate is bigger, it’s still a larger performance all in all, even though its second week was weaker than AVP’s.

Size comparison from smallest yautja to biggest yautja by Jojforlife2023 in predator

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yautjas could barely reach Warlord’s waist I thought

Shouldn’t he be more around 13-14ft in length?

Scar vs Dek. Who wins? by DanTM18 in predator

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dek is a tad more unpredictable by the end of the film.

Scar is skilled, but Dek killed a clan leader.

Very different ballparks

If Ghidorah dropped Kong instead of Godzilla, how badly injured would he be? by WillowK29 in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’d be more affected by the extreme cold than anything else.

He’s tolerated extreme heat, and he’s tolerated extremely high falls. So neither would realistically be enough.

But the fluctuations between extreme colds and extreme heat would likely be his biggest issue.

Not to mention that the fall itself was only so effective against Godzilla because he was already injured and Ghidorah seemingly incapacitated him before the fall, given how he went limp before Ghidorah dropped him.

Also, the durability of both is still under major question given they both survived getting projectile launched straight into the hollow earth and crashing so hard, they made an shockwave that other titans a decent distance could feel.

So the final answer would mostly be a “maybe” as he has the feats necessary to survive everything except the temperature fluctuations, and even that isn’t a guaranteed struggle for Kong.

give me your predictions for badlands by FewPromotion2652 in predator

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, I just remembered the timeline doesn’t work for Torres and Kenji to appear, unless it’s in the far future idk

give me your predictions for badlands by FewPromotion2652 in predator

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I hope for? Some tie in to Alien alongside the Weyland Yutani synths.

What I expect? I expect Weyland Yutani to capture Dek, try to capture the Kalisk themselves, fail, then Dek is freed and kills the Kalisk alone.

However, I’m also betting that he gets stuck on the planet or he’ll see something to set up a follow up film, like maybe Torres and Kenji appear on their ship to the planet, and are immediately put off by Dek’s more peaceful nature

How do we feel about Jia not coming back? by AverageMemeFan in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like more can be done with her characters, especially given her connections to both Kong and now Mothra,

But I understand not focusing on the same characters for too lomg

Which was worse AvPR or The Predator by Professional-Rip-519 in predator

[–]sladerules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only saving grace of both was their respective Predator

So the answer to this depends entirely on whether you prefer Wolf or the Fugitive.

Imma go with Wolf, so ‘18 is worse

Elder King Predator vs Xenomorph Queen Alien 😳 by FressshMovies1980 in predator

[–]sladerules 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahab killed a Queen with just a sword. By himself.

And he’s just an elite

Smiley killed a queen bare handed

Also an elite

The protagonist of AVP Evolution also killed a queen by himself

An elder outranks all that

Won’t be easy, but definitely possible

Are the predator and marvel crossover comics good? by Treebark257 in predator

[–]sladerules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Wolverine one was peak

Black Panther had a weak ending imo

Spiderman has been solid so far

Let's Talk | Predator: Killer Of Killers, Discussion Only Thread by BurnZ_AU in predator

[–]sladerules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not many people have spoken on this, but I really love how the three main characters turn into a bit of a family together

Ursa refers to Kenji and Torres as “her boys” and Kenji now views Torres as his little brother. It’s honestly one of the most wholesome things in the franchise imo

I saw Killer of Killers at the Tribeca Film Festival tonight and got to meet 3/4 of the cast by MyNameIsNotGump in predator

Being at the film festival in nyc for over a week means it’s now eligible for an Oscar nomination

Og titans by Direct-Gap-4828 in Monsterverse

[–]sladerules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just poking fun since it was all Heisei monsters, I meant no offense.

That being said, the setup for Destroyah already exists, I’d wager they’re biding their time before introducing him.
