In the series of Predator, from the early confrontation between macho men and monsters, to the fairy battle with aliens, along the way, the entire series has not established a relatively stable world view model. In order to win the attention of the audience, this series has put more and more emphasis on curiosity, more and more emphasis on killing, and lost the character of the original series (or not at all), and gradually reduced to an endless stream of Predator toy models. Long commercials.
Especially the headquarters. . .
I have always felt that the first part of Alien vs. Predator was not as bad as the reputation. At least he showed the completely unknown side of Predator, expanded the connotation of the IP of Predator, and created a pair of people. An established pattern with a pair of Predator front bars.
Unfortunately, this mode from AVP2, to the new Jagged Blood, and then to the headquarters, except for the scene change, the kernel basically did not change much. Moreover, under the proposition of the team fighting, the overall expressiveness of the film is completely incomparable with the previous ones.
Although the film is known as the Predator, a large part of the plot is spent in the boring talk and chatter among the various members of McKenna's squad. Then after black police detectives joined in, the incidence of mouth guns and chatterboxes skyrocketed. The bigger problem is that the nutritional value of these talkers is very low. They lack both the rhetoric and the wisdom of adapting to changes. However, when the interaction between talkers can't go on, the main creator often uses "shut your fuck off". This extremely unimaginative rhetoric ends the conversation. . . Some members of the human team still do not give up their mouths when they are dying. This group is meaningless, and the chaotic plot seriously weakens the film's expressiveness.
The number of Predators in the headquarters is relatively small. But the two Predator have been separated from the original Predator setting:
Ninety-nine percent of the first-generation Predators were affected by the Three-Body Problem (or the Alien Prequel), which is a role similar to the Alien Prequel engineer. In the setting of the film, the Predator came to the earth to tell the Earthlings the plan to rent the colony ball (the Virgin Bitch). First of all: I didn't see any intention of this Predator to communicate with humans. The film has no foreshadowing or timing in this regard. Second, even if this is the case, with the technology and combat power of humans in the film, it is impossible to resist fighting for a living. of the Predator. Therefore, such a setting, whether from a logic or world view point of view, has no meaning.
The second-generation Predator is even more outrageous. In the film, this is the Predator 2.0 version, which is taller than the original, has an exoskeleton, and has stronger jumping and impact capabilities. This is the result of the Jagged Clan's continuous fusion of the excellent DNA of alien creatures. This Predator is truly impeccable. Just according to the consistent settings of the series, will the Jagged Race really do this? Personally, I feel that the Jagged Clan more advocates the bravery of warriors in the face of adversity, and this heroic awareness and fighting skills are produced in countless practical battles (this is why in AVP, the heroine is a woman, but still received a gift Jagged Spear as the reason for the reward), rather than relying on mutation. The appearance of mutant Jagged Blood, like the previous Alien Jagged Blood, is a brutal destruction of the final Easter egg set by the Predator. Personally, I think it is even more nonsense. Jagged Blood has broken through a race and has become similar to aliens through infection and spread. Reproducing organisms. . .
It can be seen that this film is obviously imitating the Alien prequel, exploring the Predator from the perspective of genes and ethics, but unfortunately the main creator has too many skills, and the connotation of this IP is not as rich as the Alien. Destined to fail.
Shut Your Fuck Off. . .
