History Recap / TheNostalgiaCriticS10E11

** The scene where Scar tinkers with his wrist device with red holograms has the Critic sarcastically exclaim that the Predators are so evil they found a way to combine the UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy console and the Power Glove accessory, two much-maligned Creator/{{Nintendo}} devices.

** This is what the Critic thinks of director Creator/PaulWSAnderson, given that his filmography ranges from the passable ''Film/DeathRace'' to the much-maligned ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' movies, and that he has little luck with R-rated movies (for example, ''Film/MortalKombat'' did not have the violence which defined the video games, while even ''Film/EventHorizon'' had theirs toned down so much the Critic considers it PG-13 in all but name).

* AbsenteeActor: Malcolm doesn't appear in the review, and is replaced by Jim for the underlying sketches.

* ShoutOut: The scene where Alexa runs through an whale skeleton while being chased by the Alien Queen has the Critic scream that she needs to [[Disney/TheLionKing go through the elephant graveyard]], showing a clip of Simba and Nala doing the same.

'''Tagline:''' "Let's look back at one of the biggest crossovers that led to the most underwhelming of responses."

* CommonKnowledge: One of the questions from the intellect sides is how Xenomorphs could merge their dna with predators to create Predalien, acting as if this had never been seen before. This actually is an alien ability dating back to the third alien movie, where a Face-Hugger impregnating a dog resulted in the Runner variant.

* RedShirt: The Critic identifies most of the cast as expendable and we even get a actual red shirt when it shows a "Predator cam".

* ShoutOut: The scene where Alexa runs through an Alien skeleton while being chased by the Alien Queen has the Critic scream that she needs to [[Disney/TheLionKing go through the elephant graveyard]], showing a clip of Simba and Nala doing the same.

* NotWorthKilling: The Critic's interpretation of the Predators' action; he believes it makes perfect sense for them to use an Alien Queen to infect humans and then hunt the resulting Aliens because the ''human'' characters are so stupid and weak they wouldn't be any fun killing off.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The jocks and intellects in the Critic's head have a lot of valid points regarding the film, and at certain points they even agree that this film is average, as well as that ''Film/AlienVsPredatorRequiem'' is bad.

-->"I'm the Nostalgia Critic and... ''[[Film/AlienVsPredatorRequiem Requiem]]'' [[TakeThat sucks]].

** At the end of the film, the Critic concludes that, whether the audience is a jock or intellect, both sides could agree that they don't like ''Film/AlienVsPredatorRequiem''.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The opening sketch features the personifications of the Critic's action- and intellect-oriented sides, both played by Doug, Tamara and Jim, debating as to what to make of this film.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The Critic's InUniverse opinion on director Creator/PaulWSAnderson, given that his filmography ranges from the passable ''Film/DeathRace'' to the much-maligned ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil'' movies, and that he has little luck with R-rated movies (for example, ''Film/MortalKombat'' did not have the violence which defined the video games, while even ''Film/EventHorizon'' had theirs toned down so much the Critic considers it PG-13 in all but name).
