Super Predator: is immune to bullets Main Characters: so anyway i started blasting

Actually Predator (1987) movie is a time travel movie - Predator traveled back in time to skin Shane Black and hang him upside down to a tree for making The Predator (2018).

Actually, Child Protective Services being completely incompetent is the most realistic aspect of this film

Yautja in Predator : let’s hunt soldiers in the jungle Yautja in Predator 2 : let’s hunt cops and civilians in the city Yautja in Predators : let’s abduct people and put them on a big hunting ground on an alien planet for us to hunt Yautja in The Predator : *lets weaponize human disabilities*

I like how somebody disliked this video before anyone has had time to watch it.

Plot Twist: They were all playing an enhanced version of GMod and they just spawned in all the vehicles.

When they said that Autism was the next stage of human evolution, I was hitting my head in the theater. Someone was paid a lot of money to write that.

This possum seriously animated his avatar to sniff and cough to match him doing it instead of editing it out and doing a retake. Freaking kudos.

The idea that the Predators wanted to use autism to evolve themselves makes about as much sense as Usain Bolt breaking both of his legs because he thinks that when they're fully healed, he'll be able to run faster.

I had a friend who saw this in theaters, when I asked how was it the first thing he told me was 'The Predator wants to weaponize Autism.' At first, I thought he was fucking with me but when I actually saw it myself I never realized how serious he was.

Man, I wish aspergers gave me super powers, all I got was crippling anxiety as a result of being completely inept in my understanding of any social situation. I also tend to completely dismiss my obligations, such as schoolwork, to seek out something more interesting to occupy my mind. Seriously, I find myself staring at a wall so often because whatever the class is doing is so boring that my brain can find literally everything else more interesting. Autism is not the same for everyone it effects those who have it differently, I see myself as an ordinary person who just so happens to be socially inept and is easily distracted, I'm not special I'm just a bit different.

My son is "on the spectrum" and I absolutely 100% agree that the way movies tend to portray atypically developing children is actually usually insulting and inaccurate.

This movie is disgraceful by assuming predators would give a shit about using our DNA. We're inferior in virtually every way

My ability to breathe was rejected when I heard "The predators want autism" thank you possum.

The Predator doesn't spare anyone who is unarmed. It spares anyone that isn't a threat. The first Predator kept hunting Dutch when he had no weapon. It's like once they mark you as an aggressor, you're getting it whether you're armed or not.

The most realistic character was the mom threatening to harm their child.

"I censored the gore because I spent way to much time on this video for it to be demonetized." Video: *Gets demonetized* *Distant crying*

"This movie had TWO writers, and none of them caught this." Lol, that's modern movie magic for ya.

The fact that the lil predator want to help humans but still went on a huge as fuck rampage makes me question the predator lore even more than I've already done.

That futuristic armor at the end is in my opinion the worst thing they could have done in term of Predator's world building. The predator is supposed to be a furtive shadow , a genius in stealth and hunting tactics and that in particular is what makes him threatening , his futuristic gear is just here to help. But here they were like "nah ykw lets just give him a ridiculous shit ton of guns and an Iron Man armor 🤤"

I always thought Shane Black took revenge on the franchise for having him killed first in the real Predator (1987).

I have autism as well as the kid in the movie and yes, it is so inaccurate. Sometimes he’s low on the spectrum, meaning he can listen to loud sounds and look people in the eye, but then he’ll be high on the spectrum, be unable to do the things I listed and have no emotions. (Like how he doesn’t react to people dying) And if autism can make people multilingual with alien languages, then why can’t I speak Irish, my native language for the life of me?

That Key and Peele bit fuckin killed me lol. It was just too accurate. Cuz when you brought him up I was thinking "they can be funny sometimes I guess, but they really drag it out too long to the point it just isn't" then you directly addressed that right after lmao

One thing I have seen or heard mentioned is if that tranquilizer gun was strong enough to take down a predator then shooting herself in the foot would have absolutely killed her. I always remember that line from Jurassic park 2

Obligatory "I have Asperger's", and I can tell you that I in fact have a terrible memory, except for things that don't matter at all, like I perfectly remember every exploit in Skyrim, but you tell me to take out the trash and I will stand in front of the bin wondering why I got up

Actually this video is NOT an hour. It's only 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Clickbait.

"I feel like there is a loose plot thread that im forgetting... Oh yeah... Fuck it." Sums the movie up perfectly

You know my brother has been in a wheelchair for most of his life and it’s been hard. Although he was little when the injury happened it still messed with me. So one day I showed him this movie because we like the predator. He got up from his wheelchair and turned it off and he’s been walking ever since

"This movie had 2 writers" has to be the best quote from the video

“This movie had two writers” But then again, one of them was Shane Black.

As a Marine I gotta say the way the "squad" talks to each other is probably the most realistic part of this movie.

The fact that the predator is trying to splice Asperger's DNA into their own instantly puts this plot into the S Tier for me. It's so unbelievably stupid that it's actually amazing. How did this movie get made???

Amazing how Shane Black murdered an entire franchise with ONE movie.

In the first movie, the predator was hunting people for sport. Here, a predator crashes on a planet, probably fleeing for his life, but still manages to not only hunt people, but also hang them from trees. Yeah, good idea. I'm already being hunted by fellow predators, let's also piss of these humans for no reason.

Saying that autism is the next stage of human evolution is like saying Paralympians are the meta humans because they can potentially swap their arms for guns, legs for wheels, etc.

I honestly think "The Predator" should be the object of a mandatory masterclass in every film school on HOW TO NOT WRITE AND DIRECT a movie. There is not a single convincing or redeeming element throughout the entire film.

The movie calls the Big Predator the "Ultimate Predator". To think they couldn't call it the Apex Predator. Again, this movie had TWO writers!

This is the short summary on IMDB: "When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe's most lethal hunters' return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled scientist can prevent the end of the human race." Sounds like a different movie to me...

The plot has so many holes you could think it was Swiss Cheese

I legit can't stop watching this, it's a million times more entertaining than the actual movie. 😂

My father suffered from a terminal illness in the last 13 years of his life. He always shared what he loved with me since I was young, and one of his most cherished things was the Predator Franchise, he had passed away in early 2016. I’m glad he didn’t live to see this atrocity.

The fact that alien dogs were made to look like predators was the best example of these writer's stupidity.

The humor in this movie feels like some edgy schlock that should kept be in 2000's Newgrounds Flash animations 37:59 39:26 52:14 I'm also genuinely at a loss for words on how such horrendous and offensively bad writing could be accepted and made into a multi-million dollar movie, but I think 2018 was all about filmmakers being r*tarded since money can still be made either way. Jesus Christ.

As person with asperger's syndrome I want to apologize to everyone because of the depiction you see here, most of us can't decypher alien letters or have eidetic memory. Sorry for the disappointment. I was bursting out laughing towards the end when I realized that the predator wanted the kid's autism, but after few minutes of reflecting, I understood they probably wanted that decyphering ability, and they had probably no idea, what being autistic really means. They only saw the good side of it but not the inconveniences? o.o Whatever, if predators would really exist, I'd 100% be for them taking autism, it would make them so socially awkward that they'd rather not leave their home planet.

one of my biggest pet peeves is when people criticize people who point out flaws in movies by saying "It's just a movie". those people are the exact reason why movies get worse and worse. defending bad writing will never help improve quality

Only two writers? Usually these days scripts like this would get passed around like children on the Lolita Express

Did you know that this movie had two writers?

Always a fun time when a quip made by a character in a movie is a better plot than the movie you are watching. Observe: A young, sickly-by-their-standard Predator, is sick of being the support for hunts, and wants to get revenge for bullying by his peers. So, he manages to get himself on a ship with some Preds who are on their way to start a hunt of some "big game"; dangerous creatures known as "humans". As they arrive in orbit above Earth, he manages to sabatoge the ship, sending it crashing to the surface as he jumps in the escape pod and peaces out to the planet below more safely. His plan is to lead some of these humans he has heard so much about to the wreck, and give them access to the Pred tech, and level the playing field, if not give the humans the capacity to fend them off for good. Little does he know, but the other Preds managed to get off a message telling their leaders about his betrayal, and now, a Hunter is on his way. A Hunter would be a far bigger, more vicious, and less mercifull version of a Pred, and used to hunt down fellow Preds and even more dangerous threats. The Rogue Pred manages to lead a troop of American soldiers to the wreck, only to pick up the Hunter's vessel on approach. Now, he AND the soldiers have to survive against the Hunter by working together; a tense alliance, given intell fed to the soldiers as command begins to realize what they are up against. Eventually, in a violent hunt, both the Rogue, and the Hunter are killed, and most of the soldier team is wiped out, the last remaining soldier(s) evacuating with only a few "artifacts" from the encounter. Ending scene is a group of "Bulls", the elite, successful Preds of many hunts, preparing for a mission to Earth to reccover the missing weapons and armour. ((Set up for a sequel and nifty little twist on the concept of the human team being the hunted, now a team of Preds would be the ones on a mission and being hunted as they try to reccover the missing tech)) This is workshopable, and editable, but I feel its a more solid and action packed scenario, please lead feedback if the fancy strikes you :)

As a former prison guard I can confirm that prisoners are NOT chained to the seats on transport. The way transport restraints work is your wrists are cuffed to a chain that goes around your waist, effectively cuffing your hands to your sides. Your ankles are also restrained. I have had to react to an inmate slipping his restraints and choking another inmate that was a gang drop out.

6:22 Wait what... "Spent 1.5 hours cleaning the house. If you mess it up I will cut you. xoxo mom"

I love how this vid is EXACTLY one second from an hour

"I ain't got time to bleed." that one line in Predator One makes the first one 80s Gold.

Every second I wanted it to end but it just kept going and getting worse and worse. The Predators were literally trying to give themselves Autism. . .

I never get tired of people tearing this movie a new one.

"This movie had 2 writers" I can feel the frustration whenever you say that. I can feel the frustration whenever you say anything in this video

Turns out the predators all want to be faking disorders on TikTok for clout.

My brother has very severe Tourettes Syndrome. The way he rolled his eyes at this movie’s portrayal said it all. He’s not opposed to using it in a humorous way, it’s just such a dumb misfire.

"He kills people so you can be a mailman" let me guess this movie was sponsored by the us army aka our tax dollars

Yep loosing our social abilities while gaining a plethora of sensory issues to a point of breakdowns or becoming nonfunctional seems like beneficial adoptions for evolution to cling to.

Ah yes, the safe, tactical way to wrestle control of a shotgun from someone wielding it: Grab the barrel from the front, and then yank at it while holding it with the muzzle pointed _directly at your own chest_ the entire time. 10/10 disarming technique.

I’m on the spectrum, and I always find it hilarious how movies portray my condition. My memory isn’t magic, I’m not a god at puzzles, and I don’t start tapping my ears when a fire alarm goes off. Do I enjoy the alarm? No, it hurts, but I’m not standing around. And GOD do I wish that I could speak alien languages.

"The fkn Predators want aspergers syndrome" Thanks, I haven't laughed like that in a while.

I just found this channel. I absolutely love this guy. Such a poorly done movie

When the predator escapes from the lab, it shows him running full speed across the roof while doctor woman matches his speed along the ground. They should have shown him burning her in a foot race but whatever.

This movie isn’t canon, change my mind.

I love the “This movie had two writers.” Would love to do a break down of how stupid this movie is as a 13 year army vet with a son with Aspersers.

I'm confused over the pics of the predator being blurred out in black and white in that file folder 📁 ??? Colour cameras were invented in 1907 And I'm sure by the time Arnie went to the jungle , they had them .

I always appreciated the predator gear on display in the secret government lab like to show off during a tour "yes this is our government lab and in the display case we have alien tech n if ull go down the hall we have mre government secrets on display jst wait til we get to the kennedy exhibit!"

"So he takes his shot, then runs faster than an Alabama girl runs from her brothers." Quinn blacks out and rolls down a hill like my mom on a Saturday night." - Possum Reviews, 2019.

ME SQUISH SQUISH POSSUM WANT NOOW!!

I know this vid is three years old, but... the Mandarin becomes a better twist every year.

A backstory does not make a chracter. The actions of the chracter within the story is what makes a chracter. While the Backstory can give context to some of the character's choices it is not required. The orginal Predator and The Thing are proof you don't need chracter with a backstory to make them engaging. If you "chracters" are just walking backstories that don't do anything of note in the film then your character is pointless.

"This movie had two writers" How can five words be so funny?

I have Asperger's, and if the Yautja came here to hunt after me simply because I'm a great warrior by default, I'd be honoured, but I also know I'd be f*cked... But, yeah, the movie's bad.

dude I have Aspergers and I am definitely not the next step in the “chain” of evolution

I 100% had no idea bad black guy died. Had to go back and even pausing it was still hard to realize. I was at the end of the movie asking myself "where the fuck is bad black guy?" That was definitely an insert shot they made after they simply forgot about him.

As someone with Asperger’s syndrome, this movie butchered it.

You said they should be worried about entering the ship, as it may have bacteria in it, but you forgot to notice that Dr woman pulled the pin from the grenade with her mouth. The same grenade covered in the alien dog's saliva, since it came from its mouth and possibly deeper from its throat or stomach.

this movie still has a much more accurate representation of Tourette's syndrome than ticsandroses

My friend watched the film on release and told me that it was so stupid, that he thought it was a parody. I asked why and he said that the predators hunt human DNA because of climate change and that they tried weaponizing Aspergers syndrome. I thought he was joking so I watched the movie myself and apologized to him.

As somebody who has Asperger, im very concerned about the missinformation about this Syndrome in this Movie... Like... We are nowhere near as capable as that kid nor THAT Sensitive towards loud noices because of the Syndrome. In fact, if i had to give a very very short and not exactly accurated explanation about how i feel to have Asperger, it would be like: "Congrats! You were born just a little bit smarter than the average person... But you have half of their comunication skill and social interaction."

im about 40 min in and want to add that the original creator of the predator also stated that predators see themselves as the dominant race and that humans are inferior. you can also see that in the extensions of comics and books.

Me and my mom watched the original one.I loved the slow build up to the predator, the actors playing perfect roles and the best final fight.The new one made Jaws 3d look good.

I just stumbled upon your channel today and have been binge watchiing your reviews. A++ reviews all round, when first heard your voice and candor I thought this was going to be goofy af but I was very wrong. It was actually a well thought out, articulated critique pointing out all the serious flaws that bad writing has plagued so many franchises we held dear to our hearts as fans. Kudos to you sir and keep up the great work! 😂😂😂

I want a predator movie from the predators perspective, see him talking to his kind in his language, have a plot where we see him hunt. see him hunt humans then be divided as to if we should root for the main character the predator who we now know to have a personality or our own kind.

As someone on the spectrum, I was incredibly annoyed with the blatant misrepresentation of what aspergers actually is. It was insulting.

Normally on a federal prison transport, inmates have handcuffs and leg irons, that are connected to a belly chain that acts as a belt, and then they are connected to another inmate with a chain. The only thing you could do in a situation like that is headbutting, but because of the way the chains are connected, all a guard has to do is push you over and you're done.

Speaking of a predator my evil stepfather just got out of jail 3 months early while i was watching this, god so help me if he tries to come after me.

Fun fact: This movie has actually 2 writers

a small note for those who care the mum is played by the model for Miranda lawson from mass effect in case anyone was saying 'where have i seen her from' Also i do love the little moments where you go into logical points like the hologram not working in daylight never even thought to consider it

Seeing this movie i couldn't help but feel not only is it checking off action movie cliches but also is peppered with studio interference. Remember when 20th Century Fox was the money grubbing studio before Sony out dumbed them?

When I saw the video, I thought, who doesn't like Predator? Then I confirmed you meant the 4th one and immediately thought, yeah, that was kaka.

As a Predator fan who just so happens to be on the spectrum (big coincidence I know), I hated this movie especially it's heavy handed message. It's trying to be a comedy so badly it's unfunny like modern Comedy Central. Your review is actually funnier than this entire movie.

To be fair "Brother, it's a bus, it moves" Is a line I actually kinda like

I thought you were talking about the original when I read the title then realized I’m dumb and immediately agreed with your opinion once I realized you were talking about The Pre-Predator…4, what’s so hard about titles why can’t they just put the number

This is such a refreshing movie review channel.

You know its bad when he doesn't even take a drink before starting the review

Everyone is missing an important part that I have just now noticed. (The benefits of seeing it in theaters. You don't notice all the scheisse) The dead predator that bad black guy examined still had his head, even though we just saw the big one not only kill the small one, but also cave in his face and rip off his head. To repeat, this movie has two writers

Tourettes guy did have some genuinely funn AF quotes, despite them being totally unrealistic. I still use "fuck me in the face with an aardvark." When im pissed off at work, sometimes. Thomas Jane was so above his role in this.
