Saw that Michael Biehn is in it. Does that complete his trifecta of getting killed by a Terminator, Xenomorph, and Yautja after Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen?

"..is the best PREDATOR movie, well, since PREY..."

I will look on it. But still, its animated show...

That trailer doesn't do much for me, really not a fan of that animation style.

I just can't take animated content seriously. It works for comedy like South Park or Simpsons. But for serious content I need real actors.

This is the best thing since the original. Absolutely better than Prey and I liked it.

Serious question, why? When I talk to some of my friends who have similar perspective they say it’s because they can’t suspend disbelief while watching it (paraphrasing)

But then how do you do it for live action? Like that’s obviously Brad Pitt playing a character. Why is harder to do the same with well crafted animated characters and stories?

It’s a shame because animated content has been 10x better than any live action recently because they don’t have as many budget constraints and more creativity.

I don't know, I find it hard to get invested in the characters when they're not "real people". Sure, you can create emotions in animation, but I think a lot of the subtleties get lost. So yeah, I think I can relate to the suspend disbelief argument of your friends.

It's probably also the lack of rules in animation. You can create literally anything on a computer. In live action movies you always know there's at least laws of physics and to me that makes it more relatable.

I think it's a bit similar to live action that uses too much CGI. At some point it just loses its heart and soul.

But at the end of the day I guess it's just preference.
