hamradio Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) The rogue predator came here to help man fight his race that is getting out of control. Can't understand why the producer took a confusing, stupid direction that doesn't make sense. The rogue predator attacked and killed just about everyone he came across. After waking up in the lab, he was intelligent enough to know no harm was done to him and was still alive. This alternative "helping the humans" scene that was snubbed would had made for a much better movie. He is using human weapons along what little he didn't left behind so they can be backed engineered.

Sgt_Markoff Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Oh--let me make haste to clarify that my remark doesn't reflect on your posting about the movie. Just that the flick itself, the concepts in it, the storyline...I never understood it. I read your post 5-6 times and I admire your enthusiasm for the film, but its still over my head. Good luck to your alternate version nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so here we have yet ANOTHER case of the dreaded superfluous letter 'u', EH?! And so I ask, is there REALLY any good reason the word "rogue" CAN'T just be spelled "ROGE"???

It's the way someone decided that the Greek word should be spelled using our alphabet. There are hundreds of words that have silent letters in them.

The French still do (the French word for tire (n) is "pneu", and they pronounce it "puh-NUH". So I guess the Romans did too. Those silent initial p's and k's in English were pronounced up until a few centuries ago. And Predator should have been a screwball comedy, anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NipkowDisc Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I've hated these predator movies since the first one. they pit American fighting men against an overwhelmingly unstoppable alien monster who can beat the sheet outta humans. I hate that. how about something more titillating like predator meets Ginormica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
