Yeah :lol if they can fight perfectly at 100G, I have no problem believing current Goku could benchpress the earth.

Powerlevels man, don't even think about them :lol
 
100G? Goku and Vegeta mastered that. Vegeta hasn't gravity train since the Buu era and he went up to 450G and could fight pretty normally and that was even before turning SS. I really wish they'd bring gravity training back.
 
That is the single most ridiculous moment of any Superman movie. People can bring up Superman III and IV, and those are legitimately bad movies, but cellophane S has to be the silliest and dumbest way to fight supervillains.

I only acknowledge the first two, for obvious reasons. :lol

It's so embarrassing.

 


That and time traveling by reversing the rotation of the earth :lol

100G? Goku and Vegeta mastered that. Vegeta hasn't gravity train since the Buu era and he went up to 450G and could fight pretty normally and that was even before turning SS. I really wish they'd bring gravity training back.

Oh yeah, 450G, damn, that's ****ing crazy, one would pass out at like 7/8 G, and these guys ****ing fight in 450G :lol

Yeah, gravity training was awesome.
 
Yeah, it's not like the first time the predator saw Harrigan he saw him recklessly driving to save to cops and then proceeding to kill a bunch of Colombians.

And it IS about the challenge, what do you think hunting for sport is? There's obviously an element of challenge.

Big deal...and for the Predator to be in a city is just plain retarded to begin with. Yeah, invisible fighter who can kill people whenever he wants is looking for a challenge, right...he's there to hunt the most "worthy" human he can find, but not because they're a challenge. Still, Glover wasn't even the most worthy character in his own film. Busey was a better trophy.


So you're denying LA was crazy violent and in such a city he was the top cop? Then you are factually wrong. Whether you think Glover pulls it off or not, the movie clearly establishes Harrigan as the equivalent of Dutch in the city, if a little more reckless.

Please, the equivalent of Dutch? GTF out of here....he's not even the equivalent Dillon :lol


Literally nothing wrong with that scene.

There is plenty wrong with a Predator in someone's bathroom...in some building :lol


Well, if you missed it you missed it, no point in trying to convince you when you're hell bent on not seeing it. You can clearly see when Jerry and Leona start developing a relationship and stuff like that.

They're working together...and not once are they given a meaningful character moment of them together....she goes from grabbing him to...nothing happens ...to subway death. There's nothing to miss.


That's what I said :lol

And I believe you were telling the truth, unlike some of the other posts saying that the cast of P2 is just as good. That's so absurd, I don't believe you believe it.


You're reaching that point again where you start to ignore stuff I've already been through..
-obsessive compulsive
-reckless
-anger problems
-affraid of heights
-authority issues

None of that makes him a better character :dunno Some of those traits are so generic, no wonder why he's not a memorable character at all. :lol




No, you asked, what's so over the top in P1, I ask you again, do you really not see over the top? I'm not saying P2 is any less over the top, but it's baffling that you're asking me this.

Actually, that was your initial point, that P2's character dynamic was so subtle and not over the top that it's the reason it's not as memorable as P1, but I guess you changed your mind again :lol So I asked what was so over the top about P1's character dynamic compared to P2? :dunno The only difference between the two casts, is that one is memorable and quotable, and the P2 is forgettable...seriously, ask anyone about P2'S cast...there's nothing they can say about them.




I don't work for the CIA, I just see that **** in the news all the time. There's countless guerrilla groups in the southern states, it's an open secret that the CIA most likely started some of those groups though, but you can see they're all poor, illiterate indigenous people with weapons that barely work, and it's also WIDELY known cartels hire ex-military as operators, lieutenants, and to train their troops, all cartels, Mexicans and Colombians alike, I am not assuming anything, I KNOW what Cartels and guerrillas do, not because it's some inside knowledge, I've read about it, and I see it constantly on the news, you don't seem to know what either cartels and guerrillas are at all. You seem to think Cartels are just cholos running around and Guerrillas are these well oiled organizations, it's the other way around, YOU are assuming things because you don't seem to know what these groups are.

I'm only accepting what the films offers, you are the one bringing real world knowledge into a fictional LA city while watching some thugs shoot some guns. There's was nothing about their skills in the film that suggests they have any training or that they are elite in any way....even Glover don't mention anything. At least in P1 we're looking at people in uniforms and an organized group.


Who the hell wants to know more about Predators? Leave that **** in mistery, that's one of the reasons AvP sucks. Btw, it does give you just enough for you to draw your own conclusions, that's exactly what it should've done, nothing more.

The reason AVP sucks has nothing to do with us knowing more about the Predator civilization. :lol I think most people and Predator fans want to know more about their history, culture, and civilization...that's the next logical step, not gives up a mediocre sequel with a similar looking predator in a new setting, making it a less effective copy of the first film.

And it is pretty creative, in the fact that it took it to the city, related it to voodoo superstition, etc etc.

The only thing interesting about P2 is when Glover goes in the ship and we see the Alien skull among the other trophies and we learn that they have been around for a long time, but instead of exploring all those options, we get a monster in a city instead of the jungle...yeah, very creative. :lol



Than Supes? No way.

Yeah, Vegeta is more interesting than Superman. His evolution as a character is more interesting than anything I've seen from Superman.
 
100G? Goku and Vegeta mastered that. Vegeta hasn't gravity train since the Buu era and he went up to 450G and could fight pretty normally and that was even before turning SS. I really wish they'd bring gravity training back.

There's new training in DBS that you might like...that's a big part of the new series, Gogu and Vegeta training in this other world.
 
Big deal...and for the Predator to be in a city is just plain retarded to begin with. Yeah, invisible fighter who can kill people whenever he wants is looking for a challenge, right...he's there to hunt the most "worthy" human he can find, but not because they're a challenge. Still, Glover wasn't even the most worthy character in his own film. Busey was a batter trophy.
Yet you never managed to tell me how the Pred being in the city is any different AT ALL from being in the jungle.

Busey was a better trophy? What are you trying to do? :lol you can't be serious, you must know this is a very easy argument to prove wrong so you must be trolling. Why do you always end up trolling? Can't you disscuss nice?

There is plenty wrong with a Predator in someone's bathroom...in some building :lol
It's absurd and ridiculous. But nothing wrong with it.

They're working together...and not once are they given a meaningful character moment of them together....she goes from grabbing him to...nothing happens ...to subway death. There's nothing to miss.
You missed it, it's alright, you're not willing to give it a chance, no big deal.

And I believe you were telling the truth, unlike some of the other posts saying that the cast of P2 is just as good. That's so absurd, I don't believe you believe it.
Then you are wrong, again.

None of that makes him a better character :dunno
It does, it really does.

Actually, that was your initial point, that P2's character dynamic was so subtle and not over the top that it's the reason it's not as memorable as P1, but I guess you changed your mind again :lol So I asked what as so over the top about P1's character dynamic compared to P2? :dunno The only difference between the two casts, is that one is memorable and quotable, and the P2 is forgettable...seriously, ask anyone about P2'S cast...there's nothing they can say about them.
That wasn't my initial point at all, dude, you always twist arguments with your misunderstandings, I said it was subtle and that's why YOU MISSED IT.

When did I change my mind for the 1st time?

No, you asked what was so over the top about P1, read it again, if you're asking NOW about what's so over the top about P1's crew, nothing, but that's nowhere near what I was talking about.

You can get all sorts of quotes from P2, why do you keep using the fact that you don't remember stuff as an argument?

I'm only accepting what the films offer, you are the one bringing real world knowledge into a fictional LA city while watching some thugs shoot some guns. There's was nothing about their skills in the film that suggests they have any training or that they are elite in any way....even Glover don't mention anything. At least in P1 we're looking at people in uniforms and an organized group.
You do know cartels and guerrillas exist in real life right?

The fact that they're a Cartel, which means they're run INTERNATIONAL operations.... Yeah, not organized at all.

The reason AVP sucks has nothing to do with us knowing more about the Predator civilization. :lol I think most people and Predator fans want to know more about their history, culture, and civilization...that's the next logical step, not gives up a mediocre sequel with a similar looking predator in a new setting, making it a less effective copy of the first film.
That's not the next logical step, that's the fanfic way of thinking :lol

The only thing interesting about P2 is when Glover goes in the ship and we see the Alien skull among the other trophies and we learn that they have been around for a long time, but instead of exploring all those options, we get a monster in a city instead of the jungle...yeah, very creative. :lol
It is, in fact.

And they don't need to explore those options, leave that **** to us, you're really used to being spoon fed aren't you? :lol

Yeah, Vegeta is more interesting than Superman. His evolution as a character is more interesting than anything I've seen from Superman.
You haven't seen much then.
 
Yet you never managed to tell me how the Pred being in the city is any different AT ALL from being in the jungle.

Busey was a better trophy? What are you trying to do? :lol you can't be serious, you must know this is a very easy argument to prove wrong so you must be trolling. Why do you always end up trolling? Can't you disscuss nice?

If I have to explain why a Predator in a city is just plain wrong, then...you either saw P2 before you ever saw P1, or you just don't get it.

Busey not only knew about the Predator before Glover, he was hunting him, he went toe to toe with him and even after getting burned, he kept fighting and coming back. That's P1 worthy right there...keep your "super" ...average cop.


It's absurd and ridiculous.

And that's why it's wrong, thank you :)


You missed it, it's alright, you're not willing to give it a chance, no big deal.

Give me a meaningful moment with the two of them...go ahead.

Then you are wrong, again.

Haven't been wrong yet though...my whole point is that P1 is significantly superior to P2, which it is.


It does, it really does.

Makes him different than Dutch, but not better. Big difference.


That wasn't my initial point at all, dude, you always twist arguments with your misunderstandings, I said it was subtle and that's why YOU MISSED IT.

When did I change my mind for the 1st time?

No, you asked what was so over the top about P1, read it again, if you're asking NOW about what's so over the top about P1's crew, nothing, but that's nowhere near what I was talking about.

But that's what we were talking about, the crew, which is what P1 is mostly about, a group of soldiers in a jungle. :dunno There are plenty of subtle moments in P1, and yet not only are the characters more memorable, they are better too, unlike P2.

You can get all sorts of quotes from P2, why do you keep using the fact that you don't remember stuff as an argument?

The fact there's nothing quotable about the film...it has less to do with my lack of memory and more to do with mediocre writing. How often do you see people quoting P2?


You do know cartels and guerrillas exist in real life right?

The fact that they're a Cartel, which means they're run INTERNATIONAL operations.... Yeah, not organized at all.

They didn't seem very skilled at all.


That's not the next logical step, that's the fanfic way of thinking :lol
And they don't need to explore those options, leave that **** to us, you're really used to being spoon fed aren't you? :lol

Oh, you have no problems imagining things...you have proved that :lol Spoon fed? You want the same formula over and over again. It has nothing to do with being spoon fed, and more to do with exploring a whole different world, race, and history, but you just want a less effective carbon copy of the first film in a city :lol Boring...which is why the film is forgettable and no one gives a **** about it. What's your ideal Predator 3? Let me use my imagination and guess....Alien in a new city chasing new guy who has a fear of female private parts...so it will pay off when the Predator takes off his mask and he can re use the "your're one ugly" line from P1 because the writers couldn't come up with something new and original :lol

You haven't seen much then.

I've seen enough, but one of the advantages DBZ has over Superman, is that there's mostly one consistent canon, whereas Superman, it's all over the place, which has some benefits too, but that lack of consistency makes him less interesting overall, because there are many different versions of the character, and they end up being different characters. So for example, Superman from Red Son can be interesting, but that's not really Superman...or the version from All Star is interesting, but again, it's just a different version.
 
Pixels: 4/10
I would be the perfect target audience since I have fond memories of practically living in arcades and endlessly playing Donkey Kong, but the nostalgia factor barely made a difference for me. The movie just was not funny. Peter Dinklage was probably the best thing in the movie. There were pauses where they obviously assumed people would be laughing. But because it wasn’t funny, it was just very strange pauses in the scenes. Not like I had high hopes for the movie or anything, but I really didn’t expect it to be that bland. I actually like a handful of Sandler movies like Big Daddy and Zohan, but this one was just so blah.
 
If I have to explain why a Predator in a city is just plain wrong, then...you either saw P2 before you ever saw P1, or you just don't get it.
But it isn't wrong, and you failed to prove otherwise. And no I saw P1 first.

You don't like the city, that's all well and good, but there's nothing inherently wrong about that setting for the predator.

Busey not only knew about the Predator before Glover, he was hunting him, he went toe to toe with him and even after getting burned, he kept fighting and coming back. That's P1 worthy right there...keep your "super" ...average cop.
:lol I give up.

And that's why it's wrong, thank you :)
:lol Jesus.

Give me a meaningful moment with the two of them...go ahead.
I can, but I'm not gonna spoon feed you any longer, like I said if you missed it, it's ok, no big deal.

Haven't been wrong yet though...my whole point is that P1 is significantly superior to P2, which it is.
You have, twice, and I've pointed out both times.

Makes him different than Dutch, but not better. Big difference.
Okay, different AND better.

But that's what we were talking about, the crew, which is what P1 is mostly about, a group of soldiers in a jungle. :dunno There are plenty of subtle moments in P1, and yet not only are the characters more memorable, they are better too, unlike P2.
But it wasn't, I said the interactions between the P2 crew was more subdued and it didn't need to be over the top because the movie had plenty over the top already, then you literally asked what's so over the top about P1, not about the crew, if you meant about the P1 crew, I already gave you my answer.

The fact there's nothing quotable about the film...it has less to do with my lack of memory and more to do with mediocre writing. How often do you see people quoting P2?
What's mediocre about it? Does good writing = quotable? I remember a couple of bad one liners that are equally quotable but I won't bag on P1 for it.

And there are plenty quotes. But at this point you just won't see eye to eye.

They didn't seem very skilled at all.
And the guerrillas did :lol

Oh, you have no problems imagining things...you have proved that :lol Spoon fed? You want the same formula over and over again.

If by the "imagining" things you mean the guerrilla and cartels again, I thought it was pretty clear that I'm going by what is very widely known, and you were going by what you didn't know, that is imagining.

Carbon copy? And you have no problem with Predators? Predators is a carbon copy, Predator 2 may use the same formula but it at least mixed things up.

Why are you getting so sassy? :lol :1-1:

So for example, Superman from Red Son can be interesting, but that's not really Superman...or the version from All Star is interesting, but again, it's just a different version.
Fair enough, but why would you want to go by the lowest common denominator when talking about a 75 year spanning character? You take the defining the highest one, the one it's praised for.

DBZ may be more consistent, but Goku is still pretty 2Dimensional when compared to Superman, as well as the vast majority of the rest of the DB characters.

Red Son Superman is pretty much Superman character-wise, and All-Star is Silver Age condensed into one book.

Look man, no offense but I give up :lol take this one, we're just not seeing eye to eye on this one.
 
But it isn't wrong, and you failed to prove otherwise. And no I saw P1 first.

All the prove I need is the film itself....Predator works best in a Jungle environment, not in a building :lol


:lol I give up.

Wise decision :lol



He won't help you...he also hates P2. :lol


I can, but I'm not gonna spoon feed you any longer, like I said if you missed it, it's ok, no big deal.

I can spoon feed you some P1 scenes. Give me at least ONE scene with Jerry and the chick. You can't.


You have, twice, and I've pointed out both times.

Nah, your argument is flawed to begin with.


Okay, different AND better.

Don't forget...forgettable.

My point is that P1 is about the crew...you know, soldiers in a jungle. And their acting isn't really over the top at all, with plenty of subtle moments, yet they are more memorable.


What's mediocre about it? Does good writing = quotable? I remember a couple of bad one liners that are equally quotable but I won't bag on P1 for it.

And there are plenty quotes. But at this point you just won't see eye to eye.

What's mediocre? It's not an original sequel, and most great films have quotable dialogue and timeless moments.


And the guerrillas did :lol

They were resting :lol We never saw them in action, so no way to know.


If by the "imagining" things you mean the guerrilla and cartels again, I thought it was pretty clear that I'm going by what is very widely known, and you were going by what you didn't know, that is imagining.

You are still assuming things about thugs that we know nothing about from a fictional world, using real world knowledge. I can give you the guerilla thing in P1 maybe, because that could be in any jungle in Central America and it's not necessarily a fictional world like the L.A. from P2.

Carbon copy? And you have no problem with Predators? Predators is a carbon copy, Predator 2 may use the same formula but it at least mixed things up.

I told you I didn't like the Predators cast, but at least they went back to basics to a jungle, plus putting different humans with different backgrounds, including serial killers, yakuza guys, prisoners...etc...on an alien planet for the sole purpose of hunting, is more interesting than some Predator in a city killing cops. It's not the most original film, but it was a safe film to restart the franchise after all the bad sequels and AVP films. P2 was just an odd sequel, when they could have expanded that universe and explore other aspects of that universe, but instead we got a fictional L.A. with a Predator fighting cops.

Why are you getting so sassy? :lol :1-1:

I'm not...yet :lol

I agree about Goku and most characters. I was only talking about Vegeta.
