You are talking in circles. It only does not see her as a threat because of plot armor. She could just as easily throw a spear or shoot this Predator like anyone else. She is literally just as dangerous as anyone other person in the film and proves it by fighting the Predator hand to hand. It has seen her hunting animals with weapons earlier in the film. She is dressed like the other redskins the Predator has seen and fought. She moves like a hunter. And she literally ends up killing it.

The Predator movies use this stupid idea all of the time. Like having them walk past Weyland in AvP because he has a weak heart, so he is not a threat, yet seconds later he is throwing flames on one of them and could easily have killed them if he had explosives. They just had the Predator ignore Weyland so they could have their stupid "cool" moment of Weyland being a badass and saying "don't turn your back on me!".

I can understand the Predators sparing the woman in AvP because the one Predator marked her as a hunter so they respect that. Or the small child in Predator 2 "want some candy?". Or the xeno in Alien 3 spared Ripley because it knows she is pregnant with a queen so it does not want to harm her. But the Predators sparing potentially dangerous foes, in the middle of combat, makes no sense. You can almost excuse it in the first film because Anna never really shows any threat level and is tied up and clearly in distress. But Naru from Prey shows to the Predator she is a hunter and uses weapons and the environment immediately upon it first seeing her. It just spares her because of magic plot armor. If anything the Predator should have killed her right during the bear encounter.

I mean in our world hunters (at least, decent ones, but there are douchebags in everything) typically try to spare females to avoid devastating a population and leaving nothing to hunt next time. So you could have something interesting with the Yautja doing something similar with humanity ("leave the females alone unless they come after you") though I am torn on whether the movies should be explicit with this rule or just hint at it.

The series always seems best when we just get hints about the creatures, but not much concrete.

Crying? They picked out some obvious bad faith reviews worth mocking while also pointing out that the main character was a bit too Mary Sue.

Like I’m sorry they didn’t spend the entire reviewer mocking and shitting all over it, but some of you really are taking a review that was essentially “eh, it was alright…” way too personally.

They literally said multiple times that ones complaining like those reviews was an extremely small minority.

I'm fine with them mocking some reviews, but I do agree the bit went on just a liiiiiiiitle too long. The could have cut a minute or 30 seconds out of it and if anything it would have improved the video.

Same thing with the Plinkett Last Jedi video - it went on way too long talking about other people talking about the subject.

If we send that to him, you think Rich would lead a BotW spotlight episode on this?

It doesn't seem substantial enough for a full episode. If by some miracle they actually do it, I think only 1/3 of the video will be about the tape while the rest will be a retrospective on their careers as film-makers and youtubers from the very beginnings to where they are now. The last 5 minutes will be them in complete silence looking dead inside as they realize they wasted their lives.
 
According to the actor Obscure Sighs was the director and the cinematographer of The Jar! They composed the music on the fly after shooting was complete, apparently in one night. Best thing about the film, other than it's over.

YouTube is turning up some decent trash today. This one even comes with authentic VHS tracking errors:


The sequel to Low Blow, Blood Street is a flim where the cast and crew seem to either tire or bore of scenes to the point where they just drop them and move on. The result is almost a martial arts film, almost a private detective mystery film, and almost something about a drugs war film. Doesn't matter, 80's playboy tits and the struggle to focus on what is supposed to be happening means it rattles along like Leo Fong's car: just entertaining enough to keep going to the credits.

RLM encountered it in one of their rare forbidden age restricted BOTWs where I think it drew with Faust?

No, it leaves aside the bunny, and any other thing that it doesn't feel is a threat to itself. The movie goes out of its way to portray it to you, and in order to make sure the retards in the audience get it, they have the main character twice go 'IT DOESN'T SEE ME AS A THREAT'

When I don my Sega VR and strap on the Power Glove, I'm a threat to everyone!

2008? Might it have had a VHS release? If so, someone should buy one, strip off the labels, and send it in!

Laughter Yoga is the kind of trash they have on there and the Wheel.

This was already a thing like 5 years ago. Jay even addressed it on an episode of Pre Rec he was on once and was basically like "It was a paying gig, what's the big deal?" They won't put it on the wheel if they get it.

Are you guys also aware of "RedLetterWeddings"



Back in 2013, it lead to them being nominated for "Best Milwaukee Wedding" even though it was ancient history by then.

I honestly don't give a fuck whether this movie is woke or not. I'm just tired of having "stronk wahmen" pushed down my throat and being called Hitler if I don't want to get on my knees and suck them off.

There's been so many of these types of movies that I'm just not going to watch them any more. Predator 2 memberberries don't help.

Do something original and not shit, and maybe I'll watch.

This game is as endearing as it is creepy.
You just know Lazta is going to use this game to plan his attack against Redlettermedia for revealing he actually was trolled into driving up there for a job application.

RLM thought they were safe. Little did they know the Gamer's Atlas pointed the Gamer every Gamer should know right at them.

It's finally time for the #LatzaSweep. /tv/ was right all along. And don't worry, John DeLancie is VERY interested.

I went to download this to kill sometime before work and a few of the comments were chiding the dev for "unsolicited political opinions" in their RLM game (you know, where the belong). Don't really care what stripe the dev is, red or blue, but holy shit why can't people just shut the fuck up about politics? Don't really have time to autistically check every single description so I didn't see it.

...wait what? What political opinions are in the game? I saw not an ounce of politics in the video, unless it was in those description sidebars.

Comments where you download the game, not on the RLM video. Either the boys didn't see them or they cut them out. Again, I don't know what they're talking about, I'm just saying what the comments said.

I went through it to read (I think) all of the descriptions and it's not too terribly specific, just the usual shots thrown at people liberals are unable to even mention in passing without some seething remark. Any mention of police or religious figures in tapes are chided, Surviving Edged Weapons is an example where it does the bog standard cliche "other profession are more dangerous than cops" thing. The most cringe is the 3d printed tape holder saying "some guy/gal/nb sent this in".

Basically just the minimum level of being unable to keep your smug self-righteousness out of your writing. No Communist Manifestos or rants about Trump... nothing to get mad over.
