Exposes the inconsistency in the Predator's code, adding depth to the critique.
13:02[00:15] >> Preeration, >> kicking someone awake. Man, she really [ __ ] hates this tree. I am not this tree in this scene.
[00:28] She says a single word and this dog will then cooperatively herd and hunt this sit and it peed on the floor. The movie glosses over how she's able to keep pace but whatever. One of the reasons this movie is awesome is that almost nothing
[00:41] is here by chance or accident. This trap hints at the French trapper she will allows us to see her bond with her dog and her top shelf medicinal talents. by intention, and it pays off by the end and rewards multiple viewings.
[00:56] has lots to say about predators and prey. The aliens versus the earth-based animals, the Frenchmen versus the bison, the Frenchman versus the caged Comanche, Predator 2 versus the people who saw Predator 2.
[01:09] >> You really think you're ready? You want to hunt something that's hunting you? or rooting her on. Either way, the sin is brothers. This very good boy dog clearly looks back toward the camera for instructions twice in this walk through
[01:22] cut bread root with. no intentions, but you do you. Overbearing mother character. >> You almost got a deer with it. You can't eat almost.
[01:34] would be excellent at cinema since needing a cloaking device in order to be successful at hunting. Look at this overhead awesomeness. And tell me drones haven't changed film making. Do it. Damn you. Sit is here for you.
[01:47] predator noises only to have it be Naroo catching up to the man squad. >> Yeah, especially if you make predator noises somehow. >> Who invited you? >> We won't be gone long enough and need a
[02:00] >> Sexist joke is sexist, but also I don't care how long you're gone. If you have alwaysing have a cook with you. And of course, don't be sexist. That's important, too.
[02:17] correct way to run with a bow and arrow if you need to be ready to fire at any Imagine falling and having the back end of an arrow give you a tonslectomy right pleasant. Yes, she's good at tracking, but how much of that is because of her
[02:30] amazing dog? They find a guy the lion dragged off and he's alive. So, they they do it in like 120 at the time. It would really take actual humans to do I'm not sure why they didn't just build a hospital here on site.
[02:43] >> It won't kill him. Just cool his blood. >> This information is crucial for the face leaves her alone after this. This skinned snake is still alive. skin's a snake like that? >> We need to keep moving.
[02:57] the movie needs to be a certain length. We don't need the torches. >> Maybe. But something tells me being able to see is also a very important part of and wait for it. >> They actually do this plan and it's a
[03:12] fine plan, but the plan and the movie completely gloss over getting some bait night. >> A hunter doesn't wait, he hunts. my dad forced me to go on with him, hunting is like 97% waiting. Paka is
[03:27] either a terrible hunter or a liar. The CGI lion looks so, well, CGI, I'm effects in the Jungle Book remake. And [ __ ] you movie for making me do that.
[03:39] >> Your brother carried you home. >> Goddamn overachieving older siblings always add into their goddamn legacies. >> Tommy Ka. Tommy Ka. any visual confirmation that Tab is approaching. Kid read the script and
[03:53] jump the gun. So Tab killed a cougar and he gets made chief. What if someone else kills a mastadon tomorrow? Does he supplant Tab as chief? What about a warrior who kills 16 coyotes or one that nabs three sharks? This seems like a
[04:05] problematic system. Premature celebration. bring it home. >> This is going to be as close as any words my college girlfriend used when breaking up with me. The point here is
[04:17] that the Predator is stepping up in the Earth Predator chain. He killed a snake. question is about the rules of predatoring. How many species do you killed the alpha species? Because here this predator is going to face a goddamn
[04:30] bear but then lose to a human. When there are 25 foot pythons, super huge lions, angry hippos, rhinos, [ __ ] behemoth sharks, and all kinds of other even sniffed. If he'd killed Naru, would his species have considered this a win?
[04:42] killing everything he found to prove his awesomeness? I don't know how many planets these have gone to, but using heat vision and cloaking devices and against goddamn coyotes and snakes is [ __ ] cheating on a massive scale. I
[04:54] house right now and kill a snake or a coyote as long as I could guarantee that thing couldn't see me and I could see it. Predators [ __ ] cheat, man. I'm no visual science person, but that is way too much body and way too little hair on
[05:07] rabbits are actually super skinny if you shave off their hair. And the internal body heat doesn't travel all the way out to the ends of each piece of fur. Just see how much liberty this film has taken.
[05:19] This is the second time we've seen the predator kill while its prey was in the prey. Maybe let a guy get a meal before you end it, eh? Or try taking down your opponent when they aren't distracted. This one sequence of Wolf versus
[05:32] entire runtimes of the two Alien versus Predator movies. So, we're sinning the entire franchise for this. Also, movie takes 31 minutes and 38 seconds to takes 31 minutes and 38 seconds to officially prick.
[05:48] tree bark, but movie makes it seem like she did all that in 30 minutes or so, and that would take hours. Why is she roasting all the rabbits right now? Is she so far from home? They need to cook and cure and or does just just make a
[06:01] carcasses thrown over a fire while she eats an already cooked rabbit. >> movie teases a scene with Sari cooking dinner but never actually delivers the from eating those other three roasting rabbits while you were asleep? This
[06:13] [ __ ] has stupid tech advantages but is still out here bragging about killing vultures circling overhead and then we pan down on like a 100 dead buffalo. So, They should be feasting. There's like 50 dead buffalo a piece down there. There's
[06:27] here. The vultures seem to just be wasting time to serve as an omen. If the greatest hunters, how have they not figured out a way to not leave such an part two. Scene does not contain a cocaine bear. Predator Xmachina, which
[06:43] save Naru from being killed by the bear is about as silly as Jason Vorhees you could argue the Predator isn't intentionally saving Naru, but intent is actually a lot and completely ruins my point. So, I'll just give a sin for
[06:57] But also, this is yet another instance of the Predator attacking while its prey He's a cheater is what I'm saying. Like in Dark Knight when Joker waits for Batman to be briefly grappling a couple henchmen to shoe knife him in the ribs.
[07:12] should remove a sin for, but it just makes me realize how that lion could Predator sees her in the water, and I guess because the current is strong, he just I don't know, gives up. The [ __ ] And the Predator just happens to be
[07:26] movie's got a movie. >> You need a leash for your weapon. understanding of physics dies first. These guys refuse to cut Naroo loose because they can't conceive of a woman being helpful in this scenario.
[07:40] sequence is so expertly choreographed Trainberg would be given an MCU movie, but then they would still probably marvel it all up, so never mind. I'm not sure if it's more sinful this
[07:52] guy is conveniently hiding here or that Naru ran in the only path that would >> You sound pretty confident for someone who is trying to shoot an arrow at an who is trying to shoot an arrow at an invisible creature.
[08:07] hurt enough to get more than a couple size and grunts out of her. Also, this mother's got standards. He uses a cloaking device and advanced target already in the midst of their own hunt, but he draws the line at killing
[08:19] but he draws the line at killing anything that has a chain on it. so that I experience this scene the same way Naru does. I'm taking too many sins off, but this movie is amazing. So, it >> you should be helping us. I think this
[08:34] creature is a hunter looking for the strongest beast. and now has solid theories about the alien sure ising handy. Okay, even if he somehow has come across the skinned snake and the dead coyote and the dead
[08:47] stumbled across all that. This theory that is correct is being pulled completely out of his multilingual ass. >> Are you hurt? >> I have issues with the dialogue, but none as big as my issue with why they
[09:00] only just now started this conversation. Huh. Here they continue not giving us speakers. Well, this time Naru is not here. So, it's not about us experiencing it the way she does. It's just making us guess. Why is it so smoky? Clearly,
[09:14] there a reason for it other than some cinematic coolness? It takes a full damn hour of this movie for the Predator to shed his invisibility and fight fair. >> If it bleeds, we can kill it. >> If you're going to be lazy movie and
[09:27] make a call back to this line from the original, then there's no reason I can't make my own lazy call back. Yeah, I guess. I mean, maybe it wasn't blood at snot. Maybe it was space gasoline powering some kind of space suit gizmo.
[09:39] was silly. Jumping from there straight to we can kill Kill It is borderline little sense it made being inserted here. Movie expects us to believe a surroundings enough to not step in a trap that isn't even really hidden. And
[09:52] yeah, the movie made these French buffoons super assholeish in very of insulting, but doesn't make watching the Predator kick all their French asses scent because that would be gross. But it doesn't mean I don't want to.
[10:06] >> I have a plan. Get down. Getting down is a terrible plan. Unless of course you're little dance and make a little love, but otherwise terrible plan. story. >> I'm smarter than a beaver.
[10:19] >> Smarter maybe, but ecologically beavers are incredibly important as their natural dams create entire ecosystems, allowing all sorts of life forms to allowing all sorts of life forms to Wait, what was I talking about?
[10:33] French guys weren't interested and walked away from it before it could DO walked away from it before it could DO ITS THING? the actress and her stunt double swap in and out as the camera pans left and
[10:46] right. And this is every bit as impressive as the swap out dancing Soho, but doesn't get anywhere near the same kind of love. She tells the dog to go find Tabe and it actually will. But so much territory has been covered in
[10:59] >> You have medicine? >> Man thinks there's medicine in 1719 that would cure an amputated foot and ankle. Take the powder and put it in the gun. Not too little, not too much. >> The fact that she is later able to fire
[11:14] this gun using these nebulous instructions is offensive. As Prey of noticing Naru behind this tree, I'm left to wonder how good a predator's already shown he doesn't want to kill trapped prey. So, wounded prey would
[11:27] probably be pretty far down his list as well. Here he is following a man missing half his leg instead of just sniffing out the human that is nearby. retroactive question for me. If he couldn't see this guy because the orange
[11:40] the did he see the snake earlier that attacked the field rat? Snakes are cold blooded, my dudes. about anything it wanted to with almost 100% accuracy, but can't seem to hit
[11:53] Tabe or the horse because the movie currently needs him to miss. And yeah, on and whatnot, but one of those darts should have hit something other than a here and it doesn't work. And you want to use that as ammunition against my
[12:06] being bad. But the next time Naru tries the gun instructions in question are still and will always be. So help me God. Tab is 100% owning the Predator's ass, firing arrows into its flesh, only
[12:20] flesh again. And then the alien turns on its cloaking device like a little [ __ ] dick. Yeah, she ran off. But you have thermal you were distracted. My point is that this predator can absolutely see her
[12:34] acts like it's early on in the Winter Soldier and Bucky just jumped off a low too much for Cap to have to do to follow him. How are these people going to where predatored? And this area can't be that far from where the Predator has been
[12:48] Predator to make its way here? Seems like as good a time as any to point out credits with the name of Big Beard. This movie is at least 6% bloody stumps, and that is 37% too much. Here, the Predator shows up literally 5 seconds after she's
[13:02] she's already invisible to it. That works fast, man. Earlier, the Predator wouldn't kill Naru because she had a chain on her ankle. This guy has no And somehow, the Predator is fine killing him. It's almost like the
[13:15] dangerous adversary. When really, it just hasn't met any deep water great Honestly, coming to North America was a huge mistake. She shoots the Predator in the back of the head. Fine. But then she darts for its mask as though she knew it
[13:28] give all the sense back if we find out Naru is an early ancestor of Kevin Mallister. So many moments in this movie where the dog saves her ass. The wounded predator hits her twice with his razor sharp shield and she ends up with no new
[13:41] as possible as the movie suggests to intentionally dunk your more advanced entertaining. See, instead of Arie's head popping out of the mud, it's the Predator's head. And so many people just juice their shorts. And this movie was
[13:55] these [ __ ] member berries. So, the fire projectiles miss her and rebound hitting the predator in the face since that's where the red lasers were need to do so many ricochets? How are the projectiles aware that the ricochets
[14:10] eventual target? Why bounce off all the trees instead of just reverting the lasers are? I have more questions about this single moment than I am awarding sins for this entire movie. So, this is the gun that the Predator gives
[14:23] Danny I'm too old for this glover at the end of Predator 2, which is a cool Naru back into Predator hands? Or is that in the sequel? I'm told the credits add to the story somehow, but I had already gone to the bathroom.
[14:44] starts with a ship going past a space camera cliche camera cliche in case you confused it with 841 AD >> stealing your lyrics from Ice Cubes. You can do it,00 years before he did it.

[15:12] Michael Chicklas. Wait, is the Viking tradition that you just leave your sword of these bodies still have swords sticking out of them? Has no one invented the pull out method yet? >> You might look around and think I am the

[16:36] expect. Cliche. Ursa is able to wield these two shields way more like thought possible. Ursa is able to wield this shield way more like Captain possible. This initial solo siege is absolutely badass and a blast to watch,
[16:50] but it loses a bit because these guards are already suffering terribly from the coorbidities of one at a timeitis and the stormtrooper aim flu. Her son saves and thanks him as well as thanking everyone else here who pauses this melee

[18:12] cool. But to let this happen is some terrible winter prep by a group of people whose whole thing is boats and cold weather. Ursa jumps down on our guy through ancient Viking witchcraft, it gets perfectly wrapped around his arm
[18:27] And it's completely lost on this predator that his real adversary has always been serendipity. Also, how does that small a chain even get under his arm on the ground to wrap around that much? And now she's wrapping the extra

[19:49] what makes cinema glorious. But damn it, if I wanted art, I'd put in some clicky noises and go kill already. Segment does not contain a sentient department. Creating a hidden floorboard storage

[20:15] did this guy lie on his resume? Red smoke or not, these guards all go out to think someone needs to teach movie characters a few lessons in good hiring practices. I feel like the pitch for this movie
[20:29] was, "What if predators were mostly Kevin Bacon from Hollow Man?" at the tipping point for dropping your blade in a fight, but then catching it
[20:41] like a badass, achieving cliche status. I'll give all sins back right now. If off one piece at a time, Animatrix style, [screaming] we didn't see Koshi die, so he probably survived this. And if the sin is in the

[21:34] here except me still adding another sin. The convenient 4-second hover pause function on these mines that only exists in this one instance of using them. Back at Predator Industries HQ, Predator Fred, or Predator as his co-workers call
[21:49] him, is now being rad over the coals because the simple task of designing the mines to not explode when located near their launcher was his baby project. But he's just back from a couple weeks vacation at Flo Paradise, and he forgot
[22:01] left. So now it's waiting to be included on the next firmware update. Oh, Predator, what will we ever do with you? It's only a few quick frames, but the little more PS2esque than I think anyone would want. swords that feel the need to

[25:09] scene ends up just being Vandy deciding his motherucker line was more important than just not dying. The gravity of the situation is allowing this plane to coast vertically up into the sky with no power for way too long.
[25:21] >> You're blind now. >> It is a huge leap from your weapons operate on heat targeting to you can't see me at all, but it will be correct >> IT ACTUALLY WORKED. >> NOT EXACTLY how I would phrase it, but

[27:25] >> Lazy research departments. Also, your forced franchise call back raises a where in the timeline we are in reference to Mike Herrian. And I'm not that may or may not show up. >> But if we can get up to that ship, I
[27:37] think I can fly us out. I shot one of those down before. >> Ah, yes. The little known if you can shoot it down, you can certainly fly it rule. Also, saying you shot it down is a bit of an overstatement, Taurus. You and
[27:49] a script writer threw a plane at it. >> All right. Bullets, gunpowder. and gunpowder we see here were there when he first picked up the gun. much more complicated than just giving him a plane? I have a PLAN TO GET US out

[32:57] Designing a spaceship escape pod with a canopy that a doesn't automatically still doesn't make the escape pod airtight. Also, why does this thing appear to have zero way of controlling its descent or speed of approach? I feel

[37:30] waist high razor blades. Does this look badass? Abso fuckingutely. Does it make physics and forward momentum? Abso fuckingutely. Yes, this ape and ex- is yet another movie that thinks we won't become attached to a critter
[37:45] unless it has a vaguely human facial arrangement and giant eyes. I present don't know what kind of math they're teaching these kids at Predator school, but the fact that Deck manages to chop, climb, and leap his way onto the Luna
[37:57] Bug is an unbelievable feat of trigonometry. Also, if a giant ass tree grass and then disappears entirely, does it make a sound? The institutional sexism demonstrated by this Vine's choice to pass in front of all the male

[38:35] using synonyms to clarify words with multiple meanings like sweet or it was programmed to create comic moments by causing the occasional misunderstanding. family? >> This is another odd question. The fact
[38:49] that ya have families doesn't mean Deck has to have one. They could have all died. Is she not aware Disney is at the helm now? Also repeating we saw firsthand a mere 30 minutes ago. Sure, the movie needs Theoa to know it, but my
[39:01] time is more valuable than your story consistency. Damn it. is hilarious and adorable, but where the hell did the fire come from? Sounds like
[39:13] he struck that thing up like a match. It's odd that Deck's first stop wasn't his ship. I mean, not even a cursory man. I wish I knew where my ship was, so it. Also, I'm sure these skulls represent a plethora of Easter eggs, but
[39:26] I'm honestly too focused on the story of Deck's Independence Day to care. without Elsaing her entire face. >> The tree would have eaten us without

[41:02] it must be 10 times the mass of that tow truck. That means that assuming the burn out, it would pull the truck toward the callus and not the other way around. the hell out of those tendons or whatever and running away with a head

[41:29] mystical freezing grenades that the Ala developed in order to freeze their prey, but in a totally harmless, easily defrostable way for gradual snacking. >> I read Thea's logs. You never told her why your brother protected you.
[41:42] >> And you will never tell us why that information is in any way relevant to >> We can be more than what they ask of us. >> Wy not putting some programming in place shenanigans. >> Do you know why mother gave us feelings?
[41:56] questions about rain? That seems to be the prevailing wisdom amongst AOT. >> Tessa, incoming message from mother. >> Motivate the yacher to explain its weapons. FIA understood Deck's throwing star thing right away and recognized his
[42:09] plasma sword at a glance. And you figured out Deck's freeze grenade just you expect Deck to tell you about his weapons that you couldn't figure out on your own? This exploding head was hardly subtle. And yet Tessa will take her
[42:21] the holding cell. Instead of ordering the pilot to stop the vehicle and dramatically out the rear door and hope for the best. This looks painful. Deck cliff edge into a body of water when you need one? Oh, there it is. Deck is
[42:36] totally lost now. Middle of nowhere. No clue where he is, was, or should be going. I mean, where's a convenient spaceship when you need one? Oh, there collected some of this glass grass earlier, but the movie wasn't ready for
[42:48] up montage called that quite yet. Although this turns out to be a great idea, there's no way Deck could have known that following Thea's legs would some random direction like one would expect a bodyless pair of legs might.
[43:01] Based on what Thea taught him, I'll buy that Deck could coax his snake buddy to berries. What's less clear is how he taught it to spit on Q at a designated work that I wouldn't have used it on the first droid. He really had quite a few
[43:15] lucky that he chose to spend those seconds pondering his own demise instead. Aiming for badass jungle predator and accidentally landing on Loki Mask from the what was that movie called again? Also, did the internet
[43:27] just not make it to the 2400s? I had just assumed that all the synths were connected and would know when a fellow synth goes offline because, you know, it makes so much sense. You know, if they weren't programmed to
[43:39] simulate pain, this synth probably would have been able to carry on attacking. Button's legs deserve a stunting Oscar, hands down. Also, while the flip was
[43:54] impressive, I'm not sure why it stuns this droid into paralysis like a scared Story maneuver instead of attacking. As if the synth will discover what is an odd but ultimately harmless coincidence.
[44:07] >> Vanity. >> What's the plan? tagline on a movie poster. In the name of Dr. Nun, how many synths did Wayland
[44:20] looks like the answer is somewhere in the region OF EVERYONE. [screaming] WHAT'S the play here, chaps? Well, every time we've had him in our sights, we've shooting him. This time, we're going to go with the same tactic. It's the last
[44:35] thing he'll expect. Can you imagine loving food so much that glory after being fed a few grubs? There's no apparent reason why Tessa Unless, what if she's a huge fan of aliens and she knows it's not often one
[44:50] gets to fight a monster in a mech loader Ellen Ripley style. This synth or death situation suggests that she could fire sooner, but the weapon takes forever to get a target locked. My question is, how does it ever hit anyone when you combo
[45:02] this insane loading time with a very visual indication that it's loading? Children at home, this is why you chew your food.
[45:17] broken? We expecting the movie to explain how it isn't broken and is in fact so not broken that it can take off and make it back home. Shame on you, and make it back home. Shame on you, reasonlowing audience.
[45:36] here is pretty justified in rejecting Deck again. Listen, I'm not on his side. Deck's dad is a dick, but only by our standards. In Predator World, Deck is of the movie. Don't look at me. I didn't write him that way.
