Bensin, what you're doing now is trolling. You've made it clear how much you hate this movie. Now instead of ******** on US and this thread, how about you make your comments a little more constructive instead of coming across as a hater? You've made your point on the movie and how your feelings were hurt when you read what happens to the "Classic" Predator...now move on or refrain from your insulting repetitive one-liners.
Rob, I don't feel like a prisoner lapping up my rations. I disagree with the people who think Mr. Black is a horrible Predator.
He's ******* bad ass. the previous two attempts (AVP and AVPR) were partially insulting or entirely insulting for anyone who was a fan of P1 and P2. In AVP they tried to do battle with Aliens. That went badly. They were piss poor half ass attempts at "renewing" the Predator line. It was either too dark, story sucked, or the designs weren't appreciated by the majority.
In PREDATORS, they are going with Pred VS Human VS Berserker Preds. Humans VS Predators is a pretty one sided battle. How many humans does it take to kill a Predator? A whackload of them because the Predator is larger, stronger and has more impressive weapons. So a movie with Pred vs whatever type of humans means they will need a bunch of humans in order to kill it. A Predator vs another Predator is something I'm willing to pay to see. Now add to that Predators with no code of honor who only want to hunt for sport without the additional baggage of morals. That cartoon parody of how Predator should have ended (with the humans throwing their weapons down and the Pred couldn't attack them) is funny, but remember that the Predator is traditionally obligated by that code that won't allow him to kill unarmed people.
Now look at the Bad Blood Predators? For those of you who never read the Dark Horse Bad Blood comics, let me show you:
The Bad Blood is what PREDATORS is all about. The fact of the matter is that some of you feel as though the beloved P1 is being shat and pissed on and thrown into the gutter to rot and die. I'm sorry you put the original "Classic" Predator on such a high pedestal that there can be no other. If this one gets his backbone ripped out by a Berserker, then thats too bad, but you know hes gonna put up one helluva fight.
I don't know, maybe there is something about seeing an iconic character like the P1 recreated on the screen and possibly dying that scares some people. Maybe to some of you, its like the P1 is dying all over again, and the emotions are too much handle lol - I don't bloody care - we get to see some Predators on the big screen again! It's just a character!
Don't get me wrong, I love the P1 too. He's still my favorite one to draw and paint. But this movie brings about a whole new turn of events. One that will be ******* epic. We've joked around for years about how cool a movie with Predators fighting each other would be awesome on the big screen. Then we recalled the Bad Blood comics. We said "**** wouldn't that be cool??!" Now we have a chance to see it on the big screen and some of you are getting your panties in a knot because the design of Mr Black is too dramatic??? There just is no pleasing some people...
I say go into it with an open mind and enjoy it for what it is: a movie. 12 more days...I can't wait!
