I wanted to say Freddy, because 24 hours without sleep would be easy-peasy. ...then I realized Im not a teenageer anymore and would probably take a nap anyways.
post
This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote
"Unarmed and/or "innocent" beings may be hunted if they:
Are the specific objective of a hunt."
Sorry Op, you're still screwed.
Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.
The Tyrannosaurus rex from Jurassic Park because first of all, I'm actually pretty sure I'd be fine so long as I can get in my car and drive away at a reasonable pace. Secondly, just think of the absolutely incredible collateral damage. Even if I get killed, it would be one of the most talked-about and confusing incidents in American history for the rest of time.
Freddy Kruger, as long as I have prep time. Get a good night sleep the night before? Staying awake for 24 hours is pretty trivial. I can get up at 6 one morning and stay up til 6 the next morning. I'm willing to screw my sleep cycle up for a few days in exchange for 3 billion dollars.
Just meth, honestly.
Freddy Kruger vs Chev Chelios.
What did you spend your billions on?
More meth obviously
You do not understand how addiction works. I... Kinda understand kinda don't.
But sometimes, sometimes drugs really are the solution, and if you cant get your hands on modafinil, I think 'survive freddy kreuger for 24 hours' is one of those times.
The us air force kits in vietnam, for crashed pilots? They followed a similar logic.
Nosferatu. Because I live in the arctic and it's summer.
Username checks out.
In related news, I'd choose Gordon Gekko since his financial misdeeds can't affect me within a day when I'm out plundering England for tie dye 😉
hope no one tells the vampires about sun tan lotion
The first Blade movie actually had the antagonist go out in the sun by using copious amounts of sun screen.
Trust me. As a partial ginger, it doesn't work well enough.
Obviously Freddy Krueger. Just stay awake 24 hours. The really difficulty is when you can't stay awake and you accidentally fall asleep. But I think staying awake 24 hours is pretty easy.
I'm going with Jaws, and staying home.
Sadako. Her curse takes 7 days to take effect, assuming it's gone once 24 hours are up. Else, Jaws can't get you if you're nowhere close to the sea.
Else, Jaws can't get you if you're nowhere close to the sea
Until they release a Jaws/Sharknado crossover.
Bruce isn't the villain in Jaws; the mayor is.
It says 24 hours of being chased by the villain. That means the timer won't start until they start chasing you.
Jaws is a spy movie henchman, not a horror movie villain.
So theres a lot in the books that never comes up in the film. She can impregnate you and make you give birth to a clone of her.
No, the pregnancy is accelerated, but I think it takes longr than a day, but it might be faster in some circumstances. Even if you get 3 billion dollars, it doesnt really matter if you're going to die giving birth to a hermaphroditic hybrid of homosapian and smallpox days later.
As far as mpreg goes; we dont know. Do you want to take that risk?
Prompt says you're being chased but nothing about the quality of the chase. I like the image of the predator being obligated to chase them but feeling kind of ashamed of it so they don't really want to get the kill.
Hunted: '*puff, wheeze* Just... gotta... get to the top... of the hill.' Predator: *walks calmly up to just behind the hunted and makes a predator noise, then sits to wait for them to scramble the rest of the way up while the predator plays space-solitaire*
The predator does not kill children or pregnant women. Predator 2 showed that. A kid with a toy UZI spotted the predator with his light bending and as a precaution the predator armed his shoulder cannon, but upon sensing it was not a real gun he disarmed it.
Also the subway showed he found a fetus developing in a woman and immediately released her.
I am neither of those things.
No, but you would be an unarmed helpless guy. Not sporting enough for a predator. Or at least you will fake being helpless! There is no honor in slaughter.
According to another post here, you need to antagonise Sadako first...
I'd go with Hopper from A Bug's Life. I'm sure he's a huge threat to Dave Foley and Julia Louse-Dreyfus, but I ain't worried about no grasshopper, even one voiced by Kevin Spacey.
Absolutely a Yautja (Predator). Pretty sure short middle-aged pudgy women who'd curl into a sad ball on the floor when threatened would be the most dishonorable kills ever. He might even be forced to off himself in shame for that lol
But if they're chasing you for 24 hrs then you may have pissed it off. It wouldn't be for a trophy at that point but just because it doesn't like you, so it's probably going to be more painful.
Specifically chasing for 24 hours... So, any of the antagonists that require planning, or are infirmed ... Or both?
John Kramer, the jigsaw killer. Bitch has terminal brain cancer and is in a wheelchair most of the time. I don't think he could come up with a jigsaw plan, kidnap and execute it in that much time.
I was also going to say the SAW guy, but for different reasons:
John only targets people who he knows, who morally disgust him, or people who have personally made his own life considerably worse, or slighted him in some way.
...
If the scenario is... I have to survive 24 hours without being targetted by one of his kidnapping and torture plots...
Well, I do not have any deep, hidden secrets, I do not deny any part of my past to anyone willing to ask about it, I do not pretend to be something I am not. I have of course made mistakes, but they've never ruined any one's life, and I freely admit and take responsibility for them.
Frankly, given my considerably traumatic life thus far, and my current status of... being crippled, doing not much beyond PT and lemmyposting all day, untill I finish recovery... and given that I have actually made friends out of actual, diagnosed sociopaths before...
I really do not think I would be the kind of person John would have any problem with.
...
If the scenario was just poof, both of us appear in a room and are both there for 24 hrs... we just... talk? Trauma bond over our fucked up lives?
John has, more than once, recruited into his schemes people who... pass his tests, whom he does not find morally abhorent.
I don't have to agree with him on every single issue, I mostly just have to not be a hypocrite, and not intentionally try to offend or harm him.
...
Oh right, given that I have actually been held captive by a fentanyl addled mad man, for a week, and managed to talk my way into letting me leave... and then stumble over to a nearby firestation and tell them to call the police...
If I have actually survived a week of a very similar situation, I think I can survive just 24 hrs with a fictional character, who has a much, much more consistent, albeit still fucked up worldview.
I mean yeah, he is not perfectly consistent nor 'reasonable', and... some nonsense plot inconsistencies/holes begin to crop up as the entire series keeps going.
That being said: I'm not saying I'm 100% guaranteed to be safe.
I'm saying I think I have pretty good odds, and thus so would a lot of other people who are self-aware and contemplativr enough to not be massive moral hypocrites, or in denial of or hiding some horrible secret in their past.
absolutely insane life story, congrats on being alive tho!
The thing from "It Follows" goes at a walking pace, I could hop in the car and drive a few hours out of town to spend the day at a nice park.
Until a car accident and they put you on pain killers and don’t allow you to drive. You gonna end up Stranger Things’d in that hospital bed.
Tucker and Dale. I let them catch up and we have fun fishing, drinking, and joking for 23 hours and 55 minutes.
Tucker and Dale aren't the villains. Chad is.
They’re both the villains and the victims. Chad was also both villain and victim. All of the students killing themselves in absurd ways, both villains and victims. That was the main joke, from what I understood.
You'd probably still die somehow
That thing from “It Follows”. I would just jump inside my car and go for a road trip. I am more than able to drive for 24 hours. It can follow these nuts!
Imagine being out hunting and you walk right near an old injured wild pig and it just sits there staring at you.
Be funny if the Predator pats the guy on the head before leaving.
I mean it would be easy to choose somebody like Professor Moriarty. Assuming they didn’t gain instant knowledge of how to navigate the 21st century and/or you didn’t have to spend the 24 hours in their time/universe.
Professor Moriarty would also likely be disinterested in actually coming after you. He only targeted Holmes because Holmes kept uncovering his criminal plans. He began to see Holmes as a roadblock, and was continuously frustrated by Holmes’ investigative abilities. As long as you weren’t in Moriarty’s way and didn’t have anything to offer him, he likely wouldn’t care about you. After all, his public image was that of a respected scholar. You’d be a little fish in a very big pond, and Moriarty was smart enough to recognize that going after you would net him nothing in return.
Moriarty was told that if you die in the next 24 hours he gets $3 billion.
Fine. Hop in a car, and get on the nearest highway. Every time you come to a fork, roll a die to see which direction you go. 24 hours is a long time to drive, but not impossible. And assuming a truly random path, he’d have no hope of predicting where you were going to try and head you off. Hell, stop over and rent a new car whenever you’re running low on gas, just to make things even more confusing; You’re about to win $3B, so what is a few hundred dollars in rental car fees?
Millennials would take this challenge & use it to die in the first minute.
Free euthanasia? Where do I sign up?
Edit: yes I'll take the upgraded life insurance.
Free and potentially spectacular
In that case, I'll take the nemesis from resident evil.
Chucky just to prove to yall how easy it would be to defeat that doll. Shit, with $3b I'd pay Messi to kick him in a furnace on PPV and probably come out with even more money just off subs alone
Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.
If you go by the early versions he is limited by his physical doll-form. He can't fly, teleport, drive, etc. and he's not really that strong, or fast.
If you knew about him and that he was coming after you, it shouldn't be that difficult.
Seriously he could maybe cover 5 miles in 24 hours.
It follows. Go for a little roadtrip, ez 3 billions.
The Refregirator (yeah, it's a thing: https://www.imdb.com/fr/title/tt0102767/), It's a haunted / gate of hell fridge attacking a couple who just moved in a shitty appartment. Even if you unplug it, it still tries to eat you or send his minions (toaster, blender...) so I'll surely die horribly but I'm all for fighting against electric appliances.
All good until the printer comes after you. Printers are haunted normally, so I imagine under this scenario they'd be even more malevolent...
Surviving the predator? You mean being part of a minecraft youtuber's discord before your 18th birthday?
