I stopped watching 45 minutes into the first episode. I knew I probably wasn’t going to finish the show pretty early on when the main character in the future storyline went to go watch zombies with her heavy coveralls on but her sleeves rolled up, and then proceeded to cut her arm on something and pull all the zombies.…

Watched this last night and really enjoyed it.

**SPOILERS**

I’m Britain, it’s on Disney+.

Predators was surprisingly good.

From Predator 2 we know they had been coming to earth for a long time and the whole point is they are big game hunters. So they are not slaughtering every human they see, they are hunting the “Alpha” humans.

Predator 2 has a lot of good stuff in it and its a fine Predator movie. The first one is better. But Predator 2 is better then any other Predator movie afterwards.

I really wish this had a theatrical release. But hey, I’m not going to complain that I can just wake up tomorrow and watch it at home. And since it isn’t Warner Bros releasing the film, I can be pretty sure they won’t cancel the release some time this afternoon.

Seriously. Darth Vader was presented as a scary, relentless, ruthless, unstoppable engine of malice, while Obi-Wan was pretty much pissing himself in fear. A hell of a sequence. And then the whole flaming glass Force drag torture moment really reinforced the darkness between the former friends/master & Padawan...

Indeed.  God bless ‘em for that.  And, though this is a Disney+ show, it’s been surprisingly brutal and violent.  Probably as far as we’ll ever see the franchise go.  Certainly on the small screen.  

One thing I’ve definitely liked about the Disney era is that they make sure Darth Vader is the scariest, most brutal motherfucker in the room every time he shows up.

When he dragged Obi-Wan through the fire using the Force, I was like “JESUS!!!”

Fair point, he obviously optioned many of these a long time ago (Firestarter a good example). I’m old enough to remember the Lawnmower Man movie coming out and wondering how the hell they were going to turn that tiny little weird-ass story into a movie.  Easy - ditch everything but the title!

Don’t think of it as 'dropped a mountain on herself.' Think of it as ‘being crushed by the weight of it all.’ More poetic.

Also gotta note that not every actor has good chemistry with THEMSELVES. (Not everyone can be Tatiana Maslany.) So major shoutout to Oscar Isaac for making the best relationship in the show be between Marc and Steven.

I’d still put WV up against this (the slow tearing away of the facade by the two leads is just exquisite and REALLY made me feel like I was watching an interesting comics run put on screen) but I couldn’t fight you too hard on this.

Agreed on the ambition part. Not everything worked, but they swung for the fences with bonkers ideas and didn’t once let the audience wonder how ludicrous it was that Egyptian gods are also real and canon in the MCU. NBD. We have Eternals (also, credit for at least trying something different), Asgardians, aliens, etc.…

I cannot imagine that Moon Knight isn’t going to show up in Werewolf by Night in some capacity.

It sounds like you might be happier being somewhere else that caters to your wishes. Like a Burger King.

I’ve mentioned this in the comments of the previous episodes, but man I cannot praise enough the work done by Isaac and Hawke in this show. Like those were without a doubt the strongest acting performances in a MCU show so far and are pretty high there for MCU in general. I can see the WandaVision argument, but I feel…

So angry...
