Too much to say about PREDATOR 2, but mainly:

1) It's the only sequel to understand the real formula is "An *insert genre* movie, and then The Predator shows up"
2) Like the unfairly maligned ROBOCOP 2, much of the IP's lore we enjoy comes from the sequel, not the original https://twitter.com/FANGORIA/status/1330179442610671620

More PREDATOR 2 thoughts consolidated in a thread:

-Danny Glover is a Large Man (taller than Schwarzenegger). People who say he was a downgrade are blind. There is one true equalizer across the galaxy: Big Nigga Hits
Predator fucked around and found out https://twitter.com/VyceVictus/status/1316483631536394240?s=20

-I dont understand Horror/Action fans who say PREDATOR 2 is bad action/horror. It's over the top in ways genre nerds claim to enjoy "ironically". Its like when people say Milius' CONAN isn't a badass like the books; youre missing the forest for the trees https://twitter.com/VyceVictus/status/1258642694290710530?s=20

-Its easy to dismiss PREDATOR 2 for its racism, the fake Jamaicans & coked out Mexicans do it no favors, but this also dismisses the nuance/importance of the heroes. Its like people who decry BAD BOYS without accepting the importance Will & Martin becoming Black action superstars

(Sorry, made a mistake it should be “Columbian Cartel”, not Mexican gangs. Heh, Now who’s racist)
