What a garbage post/article... "White men bad", as the usual narrative is from the rabid woke-ists.
But she's definetly not mid at all, and a good actress to boot.
A movie I sure as fuck won’t be paying to see.
Happy Gilmore
Waterboy
Wedding Singer
(Little Nicky)
That part was beyond stupid... And you're probably right in your "analysis", however cringe it might seem.
Why they didn't go with something like the original origin is beyond me... Simple, yet effective.
I'm anti-woke, and fucking hate they have to cram diversity in everything, for the sake of it, trumping all logic and better options. It's annoying af, and a cancer on entertainment mediums, such as movies, shows and games atm.
However, this isn't that.

Don't fucking read anymore if you wanne be spoiled!
Anyways, this actually doesn't enforce the whole "wahman stronk, men weak/incompetent" trope, because she ISN'T the strongest, nor most skillful, hunter. It's shown again, and again, that she's somewhat outclassed in prowess and physical abilities by Taabe, and some of her survival is actually only because "men" interfere, or plain old luck.
However, what she does have, is being smart, tactical, have a wider range of skillsets, adaptability. Which makes sense too, due to her upbringing, and having to fight many times harder for "her right to be what she wants to be". She doesn't take the Predator out, by being the strongest, bravest and skillful warrior. She does it by learning from what she's seen, from the many observations she's made from the confrontations she's seen the Predator in, and sets a trap in the end.
So no truly forced wokeness of any note in this movie.
The movie itself is a 6-6,5/10 and definetly worth a watch - easily, and solidly, the third best movie in the Predator franchise (and the only one I'll allow to be canon in my head along 1 and 2) - there's some glaringly stupid and "cringey" stuff at times, but nothing you can't handle.
Think it's more about the screenwriters - just look at what they've made.
Except in this case, you're wrong, and he's right.
Your head.
Please gently remove it from thy buttocks.
I truly LOATHE forced teenage drama - they invalidate any kind of quality a show can have. Jesus fucking christ.
I mean, get the FUCK over yourself, you halfbreed fuckwits.
I found it extremely enjoyable. Sure, it's stupid, through and through, but this kind of movie requires you to shut half your higher brainfunctions off, and just enjoy it for what it is. I was laughing so many times.
Your mistake is not realizing this movie is just taking the piss - it's not even taking itself seriously by any measure.
Come to Daddy was also enjoyable. So, can recommend both to anyone wondering! ;)
