No idea. I've never had a parental option turned on on my account because I don't have kids, maybe that has something to do with it 

What?

K, I'm not the best at explaining online

I think there was an option when we first logged in that asked what level of parental lock we wanted, and set it to never filter anything.

I could be wrong

No, Disney actually noted that any content shown will not be beyond PG-13. And that the more R-Rated content will go to Hulu.

So it is interesting that for accounts outside the USA (Canada is Domestic or I would use that term), it appears to be a different strategy.

Honestly, that is so odd

They are making the US basically have to pay for content you are entitled to

Now, perhaps I'm jumping the gun. I think you guys have a LOT more content than I do. Unless I'm not wrong thinking the content I have is fairly sparse

[Bosco685]

Oh wow. Now that you brought that up I went to check the Disney+ ratings FAQ

Content Ratings on Disney+

So how are you getting Aliens and Predator and Deadpool content? That's wild!

Guess you were right the first time, the rating is different by region

The first Predator just had so much going for it.  From a plot perspective, it's very minimalist and just a different take on hunting "the most dangerous game".  Add in all these big, meathead special forces guys being taken down one by one and it just works.  The scene where Dillon is killed in phenomenal from a technical aspect.  No other scene in the film is framed or shot that way.  It really drove home the fact that Dillon realized (too late) that they weren't up against a human.  I've even developed more of an appreciation for Predator 2 over the years for adding to the lore and mystique.  Danny Glover may have been slightly miscast, but it kinda makes sense when watching it.  Predators was a valiant attempt to go back to the roots after the AvP films.  The Predator was a mess, at least for me.  I did not like it.  This isn't a franchise that requires much tinkering.  It relies on some interesting characters and locations.  It's not an indie art house film.  Keeping it simple is apparently too hard to comprehend.  

Right?  It's just "the hunters become the hunted".  Take the baddest arse guys on the planet and flip the -script on them.  No subplots, no romantic interest, no secret conspiracy, nothing.  Just 100% testosterone and bullets.  It's a perfect action movie.

It was also built for the Era

The 80s formula was to have these HeMen running around saving the world. Predator was designed to knock this off its mantle.

Prey Star Amber Midthunder "Proud & Excited" for New Predator Movie

Quote

he next entry in the Predator franchise, a prequel titled Prey. Set in the 1700s and focusing on a young Native American warrior that must face the trophy-hunting alien beast, the new film comes from 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg but also stars Native American actress Amber Midthunder (Roswell, New Mexico, Longmire). The first photo of Midthunder in the film teased her battle with the Predator in the upcoming movie and in a new social media post she's opened up about how proud she is of the film and its representation of Native Americans on the big screen.

 

"I'm beyond words feeling proud, humbled, and excited to finally be able to share this news and have been given this opportunity," Midthunder wrote on Instagram. "It is time we see ourselves represented fully in mainstream entertainment. As strong and human, by our own people. I can't wait for you all to see what we made this summer. Ʉra ako & pilamaye." Her post came with the teaser image of her from the film as well as the official title card that was revealed by 20th Century Studios.

That’s why holly weird keeps messing it up. They don’t want to have Men kick anymore they want a fairly take showing that women kick lmao.

I really don't care what era the Predators are in, or who they are hunting.

I just like me some Predators.

Having grown up in and around people who hunt - I've seen good ones and bad ones.
I wish some of that was maybe portrayed a bit with the Predators.
Because even hunters with superior tactical advantage and firepower can do stupid things & overestimate themselves and can take things for granted.

I wonder if the Predators have to 'pull tags' to get to hunt on Earth or other worlds.
Some guys wait forever to get to hunt in more game-rich areas.

I can see the Predators saying, "Oh yeah - Earth is a fun place to hunt. Good game there. Just pay attention. Once in awhile you get a nasty surprise."

There was a Predators story of the creature throughout the ages. For me, it was really good. So I'd like to see that play out on the big screen.

I believe that's it! Or at least one of the stories.

Predator: The Bloody Sands of Time

Quote

A strange carnage in the Nicaraguan jungle for which an US soldier is blamed responsible leads his defender, Central Intelligence Agency operative Griggs Irving, to recall similar incidents registered in South Vietnam in 1968 and in France during World War I.

The other was Predator: 1718 which covers the ancient pistol that shows up in the movie Predator 2

Quote

Predator: 1718 is a comic book short story that was first published by Dark Horse Comics in the special anniversary anthology series A Decade of Dark Horse # 1 in July 1996. It was written by Henry Gilroy, and illustrated and colored by Igor Kordev.

 

If you have read my columns before, you know I am a big fan of buddy cop flicks / teamwork in comics. This too indeed has that element, albeit set in a time long ago. Dropping anchor at an island in Guinea in 1718, Captain Raphael Adolini, leader of a small band of pirates, is suddenly faced with mutiny over a stolen case of gold which was destined for a church. Adolini wanted the gold returned, much to the anger of his crew, who turned against him.

Loved that scene in Predator 2.

I didn't know they did a story on that, pretty cool. Do you know where it was published? Going to guess somewhere in DHP

I haven't paid much attention to most things published after 2000, but I'm slowly starting to pick up bits and pieces. I'll keep an eye out

Disney is free now to create its next princess.
