Yes...because that's what we all want...an absolute carbon copy of the original Predator.
Every Pred should look EXACTLY the same in EVERY movie...EVER!
Sometimes I wish I hadn't posted the pics. It's truly ridiculous the way some people think about these movie creatures.
I can understand being passionate about them, I'm that way about Alien. But this thing is damn good looking and a HUGE improvement over what we've seen in other films.
Yeah, completely ridiculous. You post that on a site DEDICATED to one of the most imaginative and original movie-characters ever. Not only that, but a site dedicated to creating costumes, props, and what-not to totally emulate the creation of one Stan Winston. The Predator is awesome. Now, I have a feeling that you're an Alien fan, and I am in no way trying to say that one is better than the other, but what I am saying is this - everyone here is passionate about the Predator. On a sidenote, I think it's fair to point out that FOX has done it's fair share of ******** on H.R. Gigers incarnation. Not only that, but the artist himself.
Now, let's get right down to it. Rob's been quiet, and he's seen all he can stands because he can't stands no more.
So, why the **** is the "classic, tape-deck, outdated" Predator even in this film? Really, why? I refuse to read the script as it pretty much void at this point. Oh, wait... I have a theory, but first -
Stan Winston Studios managed to create a Predator that was familiar to the first, but completely different. It wasn't five-feet taller, or beefier just to prove a point (on a sidenote, what the **** is up with Robert Rodriguez knocking P2 so hard?). They didn't try to out-do the previous creature, but to add on to it. It seems to me that every Predator movie that's come out in the past is just an attempt to try and trump the original. Why? Does more armor and mass make a meaner creature? No. Because I'm not 10, and I'm not on the playground arguing who's dad has a bigger dick. Which, with what I've seen so far is pretty much all it is. Especially with AVP. That ******* douche Paul "I'm so regal, it's W. S. " Anderson made his Predators bigger and more retarded to try and one-up SWS. Because, bulk means bad-assery, right? No. Wrong. It means a lack of intelligence on his part as he tried to re-create the character to a comic-book folley. And, had it been me - that ******* ******* would've said that his Predators were BETTER than the previous, I'd have dropped his ass right there.
Anyway, onto "Predators." Well, first off - what really bugs me, as I said earlier, is why is the "Classic Tape-deck, Beta-Max" Predator even in this film? Seeing as how Nimrod and Roberts "new" Predators are the way to go, why bring in a copy of the P1? I will tell you why, and if you don't like it, **** off.
It's just another attempt at trying to out-do the original. Really, it seems that, that's all that's important. And this really bugs the **** out of me. So, what we're going to do is bring back the Predator from the first film. Oh, NOESS!!!!! He's not the original, but a copy, because everyone in HIS clan looks the same and wears the same armor. Then, we're gonna say it's a "nod" to Stan Winston's original creation. Ya know, so the "fan-boys" can connect with it and buy tickets. But, to me, it seems more of a **** you, than a tribute.
Hey, yeah, we're bringing your Predator back... but he's a big pussy, and he gets his ass kicked all over the movie and is eventually killed, because he couldn't hang with the new "iPod" Predators - who are apparently taller and more powerful. Again, I redirect you to my stint on being on the playground arguing who's Dad is a bigger badass. I think that's more of a "**** you" than a "nod." But what do I know. Instead of getting creative, it's right to size - bigger is always better. No, sorry. Hey, here's the orignial Predator, but he's not really the orignal Predator, but a member of his clan (because they all look and dress the same, right?) Anyhow, he's in the movie, and there's really no rhyme or reason as to why he is. Other than to give a nod to SWS, which is now defunct. So, he's in there to show that Nimrod's Predators are the new badasses on the block. with their new "crab-faces (whatever.)" They're gonna kick his ass all over because, well, the iPod Predators are just soooo ******* awesome, and No. Here's a neat How about a redesign of the head?
Hey, how about NO. You can ******* keep that design. What the **** happened within the perimeters of the Predator universe that, that design was considered cool or even feasiblel? Oh, right.. they can't all look the same.
Also, what the hell, man? I'm seeing all these posts, and it's like you're all afraid FOX will take the Predator away from you all. "OH, Im gonna assimliate because I want there to be more Predator movies." Ya know, at this point in time, he's better off ******* dead.
*EDIT* - I had an iPod. It lasted a week before I had to return that piece of ****. All of my Cassettes still play very well to this day. Perhaps Nimrod should think his analogies through. Ass.
