Dear TV executive guys,
Dean here. Hi. Let me explain something to you. Contra is badass. It always has been, it always will be even when suddenly you could play as a cybernetic dog-wolf soldier for no other reason than it was badass.
We also all know that the time for this movie was years ago, when Arnold and Stallone didn't look like geriatrics. We all know who 'Scorpion" and "Mad Dog" are supposed to be.
But you let that ship sail, didn't you?
So now we have this announcement, years overdue. And I'm still excited, because Predator was so good, and this should basically be a military movie/series with awesome, gruesome aliens everywhere. This should be Predator, only amped up to 11.
But a drama? A DRAMA?
No. Dramas are not badass.
This is wrong and you are wrong.
Quit it.
-Dean
P.S. Nice teaser trailer, jerks.
