In Predator 1987 Dutch should have made love not enemies and fucked the Yautja. Yaoi-tja if you will.

Pre-2000s movie protagonists if they were made today (in my opinion):

Patrick Bateman would be a cryptobro

Ferris Bueller would be a YouTuber/podcaster

Sarah Connor (as of Terminator 1) would be a Swiftie (I can’t really justify this one, I just got the vibe lol) / The Terminator would be played by Dwayne Johnson

Marty McFly would either be played by Tom Holland or Timothee Chalamet

Claire Standish would be a beauty guru on YouTube / Allison Reynolds would be the cool girl who either everyone has a crush on or wants to be

Kevin McCallister would be a Fortnite player

Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar would be YouTubers (specifically either Smosh or Rhett & Link)

Annie Wilkes would be terminally online and have a Twitter, Reddit, DeviantArt, and Tumblr account

John McClane would be played by David Harbour

Alan “Dutch” Schaefer would be an Iraq War and Afghanistan veteran. Also, Predator takes place somewhere in the Middle East.

John Rambo would also be an Iraq War veteran and there’d be some sort of police brutality protest subplot in the movie (at least some form of commentary that references BLM)

Either Johnny Castle gets cancelled or Frances "Baby" Houseman is aged up to be in her mid-20s

Bill and Ted would be prank YouTubers or the guys from Dude Perfect

(Feel free to add to the list)

Knowing that Anna was fairly aware of the Predator’s existence as a generational boogeyman really changes how you see her actions throughout the film. As does her knowing English (I need to rewatch the movie from Anna’s developing perspective), and knowing that the Predator relied on chameleon camouflage rather than the jungle just ‘coming alive’. Given her obviously communist leanings, it’s clear Anna was understandably trying to get the others killed by the Predator so she could escape.

But when she decides that her own life might be at stake as well, she relents; Though I wonder if Anna also changed her mind on the protagonists and became more sympathetic after learning about them more. Maybe she even had a desire to avenge all of the men of her village that the Predator killed? It might explain why she doesn’t just ditch Dutch and Poncho once he explains that Anna is safe because she’s unarmed and thus ‘no sport’. Or maybe she was too busy panicking at the moment to think clearly and remind herself; Oh yeah I guess I have no reason to help these guys anymore. I don’t need them, if anything they’re liabilities! Maybe Anna thought she needed at least one of them to vouch for her to the chopper team.

It’s telling that while Anna and the women in her village knew of the Predator for generations, it’s Dutch who puts together pretty quickly what its motives are. Obviously he has the benefit of actually being its quarry, but I guess it lends more credence to my interpretation of the Predator as a dark reflection to the guys; Dutch knows firsthand how men like the Yautja think. Men like that may have been part of his reason for leaving the military, and/or he can get into its prideful head; He clearly has an appreciation for good sport himself, given his introductory arm wrestling with Dillon.

I wish there was discourse about the Right™ Way to watch the Alien movies, to the same degree as how Star Wars fans all have their own opinions on the correct order to watch the movies.

Like, release order or in-universe chronological? Do you include the AVP movies? What about Predator??

My best estimation of the timeline is:

> Prometheus (2012) (opening sequence only)

> Prey (2022)

> Predator (1987)

> Predator 2 (1990)

> Alien vs Predator (2004)

> Alien vs Predator: Requiem (2007)

> Predators (2010) (this one may be contentious as there are a few contradictory statements floating around. It's generally accepted to take place in the year of release.)

> The Predator (2018)

> Prometheus (2012) (the rest of the movie)

> Alien: Covenant (2017)

> Alien (1979)

> Aliens (1986)

> Alien³ (1992)

> Alien: Resurrection (1997)

But let's be real, that makes for a pretty crappy watch order.
