I rewatched it all recently, still good

Off topic, still grinding ahead with the book. On chapter 29/42 now, a lot of trimming and changes but all for the better

red dwarf does so much fuckin right lmao

thats why im torn, if they handle it right humanity is just a "thing they made in spare time" it would work, then go further, have the engineers being made by something that viewed them as a project, have everything be a copy of a copy, end with david realising he too is a copy & cycle continues

will be fucking hilarious if a writer takes that and AvP and had a story where ancient humans who worshipped predators war with Christians who worship an engineer... not only because it would be a spectacle but because Ridley would blow a gasket
November 17, 2025 at 1:55 PM
im mixed on jesus being an engineer, one one hand it makes sense from an engineer lore point, on the other i feel its bit pretentious and inflates how important humans are. either way, Ridley is getting old and religious

I like prometheus more with later context, but the idea of david creating the first xenomorph is an absolute no for me, they took the space jockey and made it handsome squidward. but same thing as with badlands, we each like different things.

I can forgive a lot for alien and predator, but 2018's attempt was just...bad, I tar it with the same brush as prometheus "just shit on that lore and history why dontcha"

* = i use the term problem loosely, ill absolutely watch predator films of this type but at least make it unique each time
November 17, 2025 at 1:41 PM
thats the problem* its kinda just repeat, diminishes the "ultimate hunter" thing - predators is great but felt like a soft retread, sets up the jungle hunters vs the super predators then gives us a kinda MMA roll in the mud. I want to see the predator win, the films we see are just the losses
November 17, 2025 at 1:41 PM
most things are better than AvPR and the predator, mostly the latter... AvPR at least gave us wolf, The Predator gave us *checks notes* predators harvesting autism and dropping off iron-pred suits... yeah shane black nearly killed the franchise

I'd place it in the top 3 tbh, better than predators imo

then again we're different types of predator fan, i want more of the yautja themselves, always wanted them to take over as the stars - having a "Prey" series follow the more traditional story, the predator films be about the hunters.

i remember the one when thia actually asks if it was a joke. but that felt more natural, not like 7 quips a minute like usual disney
November 17, 2025 at 12:10 PM
I have to say, I honestly loved it. I get why people say its disney-fied but im glad they didnt have Dek cracking jokes

I can't wait to see the full character, I've already made Malum Caedo model and have a limited edition battle sister lurking in my pile of shame just waiting for conversion!

September 18, 2025 at 10:53 PM

Shits gonna hit the fan, hard
September 10, 2025 at 11:28 PM
Im loving it, i thought Id go in being disinterested in the side creatures but theyre stealing the whole thing! Ocellus could hold its own show/movie easily

The Ancients are the true ruling body of the Yautja race, watching from the shadows it is believed they do little more than pass on wisdom to younger hunters. While true they rule through suggestion and guidance but are more than willing to step in when a harsher hand is needed.
