When I watched this (granted, it was A WHILE ago) it never occurred to me to read it as an anti-imperialist missive. Thank you so much for this new perspective.

Glad you liked it! Yea, it's such a unique narrative that the message gets kind of lost.

I watched Predator and it’s sequels for the first time this year. Spot on analysis of these two.

As a side note, that handshake between Weathers and Arnold in the first couple minutes was so ridiculous, I took a picture. 🤣

Thanks Chevanne! And it's by far one of the most over-the-top moments in the film, and that's saying somethin!
