Yeah 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
Powerlevels man, don't even think about them
the cellophane "S")
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.
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.
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.
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.
Literally nothing wrong with that scene.
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.
That's what I said
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
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.
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.
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.
And it is pretty creative, in the fact that it took it to the city, related it to voodoo superstition, etc etc.
Than Supes? No way.
That and time traveling by reversing the rotation of the earth
Oh yeah, 450G, damn, that's ****ing crazy, one would pass out at like 7/8 G, and these guys ****ing fight in 450G
Yeah, gravity training was awesome.
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.
Yet you never managed to tell me how the Pred being in the city is any different AT ALL from being in the jungle.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.
It's absurd and ridiculous. But nothing wrong with it.There is plenty wrong with a Predator in someone's bathroom...in some building
You missed it, it's alright, you're not willing to give it a chance, no big deal.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.
Then you are wrong, again.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.
It does, it really does.None of that makes him a better character
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.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 So I asked what as so over the top about P1's character dynamic compared to P2? 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.
You do know cartels and guerrillas exist in real life right?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.
That's not the next logical step, that's the fanfic way of thinkingThe reason AVP sucks has nothing to do with us knowing more about the Predator civilization. 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.
It is, in fact.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.
You haven't seen much then.Yeah, Vegeta is more interesting than Superman. His evolution as a character is more interesting than anything I've seen from Superman.
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? 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?
It's absurd and ridiculous.
You missed it, it's alright, you're not willing to give it a chance, no big deal.
Then you are wrong, again.
It does, it really does.
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?
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.
That's not the next logical step, that's the fanfic way of thinking
And they don't need to explore those options, leave that **** to us, you're really used to being spoon fed aren't you?
You haven't seen much then.
But it isn't wrong, and you failed to prove otherwise. And no I saw P1 first.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.
I give up.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.
Jesus.And that's why it's wrong, thank you
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.Give me a meaningful moment with the two of them...go ahead.
You have, twice, and I've pointed out both times.Haven't been wrong yet though...my whole point is that P1 is significantly superior to P2, which it is.
Okay, different AND better.Makes him different than Dutch, but not better. Big difference.
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.But that's what we were talking about, the crew, which is what P1 is mostly about, a group of soldiers in a jungle. There are plenty of subtle moments in P1, and yet not only are the characters more memorable, they are better too, unlike 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.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?
And the guerrillas didThey didn't seem very skilled at all.
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.Oh, you have no problems imagining things...you have proved that 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 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
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.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.
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.
[emoji38]I give up.
[emoji38]Jesus.
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.

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?[emoji38]
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[emoji38]take this one, we're just not seeing eye to eye on this one.
This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object.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.
