Re: The Last Airbender

Because I couldn't possibly mean it in terms of movie age and only would have meant it in terms of in story continuity timelines.

Because it's totally possible to judge one movie which takes place and the 80s and another that takes place in the far distant future by the same timeline.

I mean really?

Man using Predator tech as weaponry has been a theme in their movies for as long as man using Aliens as weaponry has been a theme in those movies.

Re: The Last Airbender

I think I am going to end this debate. Every time you say a statement it changes slightly...kind of hard to debate something that is not static.

This is pretty much what I got out of it as well, in every Predator movie, humans have always been hunting the Predators as much as Predators have been hunting us.

First hunting Predators as much as they have been hunting us.

Wanting to use Predator tech as weapons has been an underlying theme of their movies for as long as humans trying to use Aliens as weapons has been a theme in theirs.

Then wanting to use Predator tech as long as trying to use Aliens as weapons.

Humans have been hunting Predators for their tech as long as they've been hunting Aliens for their...well...Alien-ness.

Then hunting predator for their tech as long as Aliens for being Aliens.

Man using Predator tech as weaponry has been a theme in their movies for as long as man using Aliens as weaponry has been a theme in those movies.

Now using Predator tech as long as using Aliens as weapons(which conflicts with the second statement)

Re: The Last Airbender

....i don't really see how it's all of that hard a concept to understand.

In the Predator movie series, man, as a species, wants to use the strengths of the Predators as a potential weapon.

In the Alien movie series, man, as a species, wants to use the strength of the Aliens as a potential weapon.

In both movie franchises, man, as a species has wanted to use the strengths of the monsters in their respective films as some sort of weapon. In both movies, as an underlying theme, they both went with the "these things may be killers, but man is the real monster" subtext.

Re: The Last Airbender

Actually, I never gathered that message from the Predator movies. I never got the impression there was some clandestine group out to control their weapons. In the second flick, I rather got the impression of a clandestine group tracking them throughout history in the hops of trapping and studying them.

If there was any message to be gathered, it was the "hunter becoming the hunted," thereby holding a mirror up to our own violent, avaricious tendencies. Man's inhumanity was only made apparent through the introduction of a bigger monster.
