FROM STORM WARNINGS TO SCI-FI WOES: Why Predator Badlands Misses The Mark
Manage episode 518551334 series 3554634
Storm warnings set the tone as we vent about gridlock, power cuts, and the one-highway reality, then dive into why Predator: Badlands leaves normies cold while pleasing deep-lore fans. We argue for keeping the monster mysterious and push back on universe-building that forgets fear.
• Typhoon prep, power advisories, and rough audio
• Four-hour VA trip, funeral processions, single-highway choke points
• Fanboys vs normies: who these films are for
• What made Predator and Predator 2 work
• Predators and Prey as better pivots than jokes and lore dumps
• Why mystery beats over-explained backstory
• Lore-heavy storytelling and box office disconnect
• A plea to make separate lanes for general audiences and deep fans
