"Prey"

So, 20th Century Fox...er...Disney recently and quietly slipped by a "Predator" prequel called "Prey" Now streaming on Hulu and Disney+. I've not seen it but the back and forth of it being taking place 300 years ago and how a little Indian girl can kill a Predator (yah, right...it's not a spoiler here) with just the most basic of weapons. The concept is fantastic. Get back to the basics. Hunter vs. Hunter. Except it's a tiny girl who is, apparently peeved that she isn't taken seriously as a hunter. Now, the gripe from one side is that Hollywood is really stretching reality with a young girl taking down Predator thing. The other side just bashes on the people who can't get past that reality, instead of...you know...defending the case that a tiny girl can defeat a Predator. You know what bugs me? In the trailer it has her cowering in fear and nearly taken out by a bear when she is saved by a Predator. Surely she would've died had the Predator not been there. Later, she kills the Predator. Yup. Eye roll. Good ol' tough gal Pocahontas, Mary Sue's her way onto the leaderboard. I also noticed that anyone who questions the reality of it bases it on how one side doesn't like women leads. That's stupid. Everyone loves Ellen Ripley. Or Sarah Connor. Or any horror movie with a final girl. But even those movies knew modern vs. modern is the answer. You dumbasses who think we don't like women leads are massively retarded dinks who are trying to look like a feminist so ugly women will bang you. Speaking of which, I heard the Predator likes to probe things. You can be...uh huh...The Prey.
