The woke predator
How to emasculate the predator ?
WARNING: "spoiler" spoilers below
Cast a 25 yr old non muscular woman as a lead and let her beat the crap out of the predator and make it a movie about female empowerment and bait woke critics into liking it
Really ? that's who you cast as lead ? just because she is Native American doesn't mean she is not a 25 yr old non muscular woman. Update: Folks I know humans can't beat the predator in fist to fist combat...but Arnold was believable as a worthy opponent to the predator....this movie makes Danny Glover from P2 look like arnold schwarzenegger. |

Is this about a specific film? (Unless it’s actually called The Woke Predator, in which case, I’m dropping my shit and sprinting to see it!)
Be warned, though...the main character is a... <wipes sweat from brow, stops teeth from chattering, manages to stop himself from hyperventilating...> Woman. AND a minority! <flees the room and slams the door> |

Re: The woke predator
I haven't seen it yet, but I was intrigued.
I guess if the resolution of the film is that a relatively normal human woman just beats up the Predator, that would be kinda dumb. Only slightly dumber than a muscular man doing it, though. Seems obvious to me that a core part of Predator is that a person can't just beat them in a fist fight, and instead has to outsmart them. Anyway, it seems this is either: a) premature, because you haven't seen the film or b) an unmarked spoiler, in which case, mark it. |

It's called Prey. It just dropped on Hulu.

The quirks of language. |
Re: The woke predator
So instead of seeing a middle aged dude with no shirt on, we get to watch an exciting action film with a beautiful young woman? Sounds good to me!

Re: The woke predator
To be fair, some of the bits of dialogue in the trailer I saw were pretty cringe-worthy. But from what I could tell, the film looked like a bait and switch, ostensibly pitting a predator against a warrior chick, only to have them teaming up together in the end to beat the true evil of the film - Europeans!
Looks terrible. I'll pass. |

Thank you! That’s going right on the priority watch list.

Ohh, the way my attention drifts when I read the word "woke" :rolleyes:

I did too. I was well up for it before I realised it was about aliens. :D
But yes, our imaginary version sounded much better imo. |

This complaint is hilarious to me. You can't beat the Predator with muscles! Arnold outsmarted the Predator.

It's actually very OK. I probably give it a 6+/10.
