You Black folk still don't get the concept of a movie, we are supposed to root for the protagonist (only pred protags are in the AVPs), also they are the dead predators WE KNOW so far, its possible they have visited earth countless times and only a few have resulted in failure.
it kind of gets tired after a while when "the most powerful guy" or whatever the frick gets defeated by the protagonist in every movie. it's like watching some superhero villain shoot a beam of light in the air every movie only for the hero team to turn it off with no challenge.
Make the Predator the protagonist by making all the humans evil. Pred in 1940's Europe hunting Nazis during the war, boom, done, script practically writes itself.
he didn't really have rotten luck, he just got chest-stabbed at the end (which he probably could've recovered from considering the same thing happened to the weeny brother) and then got a nuke dropped on him. he would've been fine if the nuke didn't hit
It's been a while since I have seen avp2. I quite liked it despite the negativity that typically surround the film. The predator was pretty badass and died a warrior's death.
Wolf performed better than most Yautja for a very specific reason. Not just his skill or superior strength, but because he wasn't on a hunt, he wasn't bound by it's rules. A man might hunt a deer with a bow, it doesn't mean that's mankind's best weapon. We don't hunt with nukes.

I'm amazed you could see anything in that fricking movie. I re-watched it a few days ago just randomly and it was so fricking dark I couldn't make out a single thing. "This is too dark" is a huge meme in most cases, but it was actually very hard to tell what was happening.
Also, the filmmakers just forgot that Alien blood is acid.There are constant ayy blood bursts, but nothing ever melts. Super distracting.
Wolf in AVP2 was a Yautja Elite and was sent in on a non-hunt basis, his job was to eliminate evidence of aliens and Yautja in their game preserve covertly. The predalien actually caught his interest as a veteran hunter and he began going after it, only dying to a nuke.
>the demon who makes trophies of men
He's part of the local folklore and until the movie had never even been seen. Also, a good rule of thumb is, fewer/,ore simple weapons=greater skill. Predators are like Dark Souls players who brag about naked SL1 playthroughs, they handicap themselves to prove they're better.
They hunt for sport and kill for pleasure. While Glory and Honor is the main reason they do it, they also get a kick out of it as well. Haven't you noticed how they toy around with their prey? It's fun for them. And i suspect some of them are sadistic as well, but once again it's depends on the individual offcourse
in the very latest movie, the predator gets into a melee against a grizzly bear, those things can break a bulls back with single swipe, they're definitely suicidal
I dont have to. I live in montana and have a ranch with 1200 head. Your a homosexual. Unironically go outside sometime.

They are thrill seekers, the more dangerous the prey is, the better. They are addicted to violence and action. They need it, they crave it. Their entire culture is build around hunting, fighting, and killing. Nothing else matters to them but some good old ultraviolence
rite of passage, I like how he gets more and more wienery/angry through the film and in the end he doesn't even remember that he lost the helmet/guidance system
honestly great movie imo, the first one is unbeteable, but Prey is up there with Predator 2 and miles better than whatever bullshit with Adrien Brody o autism shenanigans they were going for.
If they want a challenge they should be targeting world leaders since those are the most well-protected humans. I want a Predator film where the pred assassinates JFK or something.
Predators hunt on planets where prey is more or less on a level of Predator. Basically, we are seeing the absolute jobbers/shitters Predators.
The chad ones are hunting dangerous alien species and shit like Engineers.
Nah the old comics were fricking moronic, Xenos having a homeworld was 100% worse than being crafted from an unknown bioweapon, they basically made them into red vs black ants and they even had animals in the planet more dangerous than the FRICKING XENO. Frickign joke, I rather have the new comic series, Prometheus Engineers, Predators, Colonial Marines, Xenomorphs and other black goo creatures fighting each other.

Some of the comics are cool. AVP's original heroine, Machiko, got a happy endin with Ellis (from another AVP/ Aliens story).
I also like the Company / Marines' use of their berserker cyborgs.
>Since the other thread got archived, this is my take on Engineers and Predators in ancient Mesopotamia
Lets say Gilgamesh-like demigods are genetically enhanced by the Engineers, worshipped as gods and used to maintain Human-Engineer relations. Predators don't like this, they don't want Engineers to control earth and be under their influence, they invade, all out war happens between factions, pro-Engineer Sumerians prefer to be guided by powerful extraterrestrials, technology at the cost of human sacrifice/experimentation, pro-Predator Sumerians prefer to be independent but let Predators roam once in a while. A Gilgamesh man gives birth to a powerful Xeno and wreaks havoc in the battlefield.
Next Predator film should have a hunter in Mexico hunting down cartel members and cops, but the joke is that he gets away with it completely till the end despite his increasingly gruesome murders because absolutely no one’s phased by his kills
Have Danny Trejo in it and I'm down, also Predators seem to have something going on with Aztecs, since they have pyramid like structures, maybe the cartels found an artifact while stealing shit from a Mexican museum and they accidentally trigger some device that makes Predators angry or aware of humans doing shit.
Have a Predator fight Freddy Krueger instead. Imagine the Predator has to bait teens into sleeping in order to drag Freddy into the real world. K I N O
Yes, it was a manhood ritual. The latest one was the same, only Yautja who lack skill, need extensive weapons. Also Feral was a fricking runt, look at this shit. Arnold is probably bigger than he was.
The Predators are like those fat american hunters who go on a trip hunting to South Africa. Embarrasing if they with their top technology get killed by a bunch of primitives
Funny ass frick. Thats the equivalent of talking shit in online games cuz youre getting smoked. I bet you even have to type in Black person to activate it.
Interesting question, then: at what point does a Predator decide his hunt is successful and leave? Is there like a cap or something on species before they finally go 'ah well, I'm at the catch limit, time to leave?' How many guys did the one in Predator 2 need to kill before he finally met his cap and left? Dude killed like what- a couple dozen people at least?
Probably when they're convinced they've hunted the most deadly prey in the area.
Aka, if they manage to kill the thing that gives them the most trouble to hunt.
Trophies are cool and all, but imagine a trophy that has a good story to go with it.
>at what point does a Predator decide his hunt is successful and leave?
he gets hurt badly enough that he has to stop or he runs out of interesting things to kill
they pick a good hunting spot and comb and poke and prod around till they identify the apex predator and then they lock on them and isolate it, by killing any and all other threats and challenge it and if they kill it they take the main trophy and frick off
the aliens are not the predators, their game is
>Mating is considered pleasurable, but might be violent. One of Dachande's mates once tossed him across a room during the heat of their mating, although that was an accident. She was known to howl in ecstasy during the act, and it is noted that there is apparently a breeding season for mating. Additionally, at least some females are known to have milk glands, confirming their mammal-like nature. The children are referred to as "suckers".[18]
They actively hunt in every war and conflict in history, and only fail on extremely rare occasions, which is why their existence isn't common knowledge.
We need an adaptation of Concrete Jungle so that we can end the cycle. He jobs so hard that he's exiled for like 100 years on a death planet by his clan, survives, and has to redeem himself by going back to earth and destroying all of the Predator tech that he left behind in the first pace. A Predator movie with a Predator protagonist and its redemption would make the franchise as a whole feel a lot less foolish in my opinion.
Will we ever get a movie about the White saviour Hish ancestor of the Yautja race? Defeating the bugmen and saving his enslaved people was a great honor.
Predators are complete b***hes when you think about it. They like to larp as badass warriors but the ones we see are the equivalent of trophy hunters that pay huge money to shoot on a preserve or a game ranch. The ones in predator 2 let murtaugh go because they got a good laugh at seeing that young shitter get killed and they still got paod ass hunting guides.

Unrelated, but I love this scene. It shows that the Predator is comfortable enough to have identified human society and know where to find what he needs in an average home, and is the first time a predator is ever shown with a real self-preserving instinct. In this scene, the Predator feels vulnerable, without feeling like prey. Predator 2 is a mediocre movie that does a poor job replacing the sweat of the jungle with industrial grime, it needed more of this.
I found it dumb fun. Gave us a lot of world building predator lore.
If it had less yelling and shitty dialogue it'd be better off. Also what lore? The reveal they'd been doing it for years was cool but that's only thing I can think of
I always thought Predators were basically meant to be a slight parody of big game trophy "hunters". Similar to how a lot of those trophy "hunters" will use cars, giant blunderbuss tier weapons, blinds, GPS navigation, etc and then claim their trophy as if they're god tier. However, once you throw a hunter like that in a real hunting environment with just the clothes on their back and a rifle, then they're fricked, just like the Predator once he's out of gadgets and his armour is gone.
there are ones who don't die at the ending of pred 2. which they retconned since the flintlock they give donald glover is the same one the NA chick gets in Prey
>the flintlock they give donald glover is the same one the NA chick gets in Prey
Not really, if you compare both weapons they're similar and have the same inscription, but the wooden parts in Prey have different engravings, the trigger is also different and located in a different possition, etc. I think they might have been done by the same smith but not the same weapon per se
>which they retconned since the flintlock they give donald glover is the same one the NA chick gets in Prey
so they gave glover a flintlock for winning, but it's the same one from prey does that mean they didn't give her anything for winning they just killed her?
My assumption on watching was the Predators come back and take the gun as their trophy.
A friend of mine argues Predators respect victors and wouldn't just come back and ice Naru, so they might have obtained the gun through some act of mutual respect? But as a movie guy I never feel like there's anything that says Preds act that way.
>so they might have obtained the gun through some act of mutual respect?
Or maybe Naru died of old age and preds came later know that tribe has decent fighters worth hunting and one of them had the gun, her son or grandson I dunno
Anons the predators of most movies and other media are the young inexperienced ones on their first hunt, as they see humans and Xenos as the perfect "prey" killable but clever
not a chance they kill off a strong wahman, she'll fight the final boss pred to a standstill and they'll trade weapons as a sign of respect or something
Predators have always been chill towards humans that manage to kill one of them, probably something similar happened here, we don't know the specifics since that's the last image we get
It inflicts 90+% casualties, then loses to the hero after getting over confident and toying with them. That's damn dangerous by any metric. Skewed even more by the fact that it's not a soldier, it's an extreme sports enthusiast.
They should do a predator movie in 1950s USSR where the predator stalks and kills a bunch of GRU, almost loses to the last guy, and then flies off into the sunset. No women. Only slavs.
all horror movies are actually about deconstructing and attacking enlightenment values, predator may not be the scariest of horror but it fulfills the criteria, as it is against a strong nationalistic courage
Predator is basically a deconstruction of the 80s action hero drama and even most of Arnold’s work. The entire op they were sent in the jungle for was a sham and the Predator itself basically wrecks everything they throw at it and Arnold only wins by luck in the end.
I mean it starts out initially like a lot of action thrillers from the 80s but turns it all on it’s head in the second act by becoming a slasher horror film.
Earth is probably on the top ten most visited planets by Yautja since its one of the only places a less advanced prey race has ever turned the tables on them.
The predators symbolize spiritual evil, the Comanches were extremely evil in the following history, this movie symbolizes their contact with the most vile demonic entities which will guide their path.
So the essence, that only Predator 2 captialized on is that you have a bunch of classic action movie heroes/strong guys be in a context where they are preyed upon by a horror creature much more powerful than them, rendering them useless.
It's a horror movie with that unique element.
For that I'd say watching Predator 2 and Predators will sufice, Predator 1 is comedically bad
Only if you are a mentally ill boomer from that era who grew on bad movies.
It's bad and any smart person from any age, back then or now thinks so.
Enjoy your bad goyslop, it was made to launder money anyway.
So what do predators do outside of hunting? What’s their economy look like, do they have predators doing none hunting shit like agriculture, engineering, R&D for new technologies.
Actually she's fighting a pred known as "shorty", who is a joke among predators and is constantly bullied but found in the human female a way to vent his anger by bulling her. Is way shorter than other preds and has mental and physical defects and the girl still has a hard time beating him and only because kung fu martial arts bullshit he manages to throw him out of the ring instead of giving him a proper beating
Maybe all the predators we’ve seen are just really extreme autists and most of the species is actually pretty chill and civilized
Honestly the most likely thing would be the gazorpazorps in Rick and Morty where the women live in societal bubbles and the men are savage warriors, completely separated and specialize in their own roles.
I like to imagine that they have a society of enlightened rational empathetic thinkers, and the Hunts are to know what it feels like to take a life and see the intelligence fade from a sentient's eyes, and to never forget that feeling and never forget that they need protection
they come to earth for recreational hunting, and if you're from a species with interstellar travel and laser blasters you probably have to be kind of a noob ass b***h to find hunting dumb frick humans who can barely reach their moon a challenge
>hops off a stump before attacking >backflips off a tree to dodge >slides through his legs to slash >doesn't do the mid-combat knife drop from one hand into the other hand
This could've been le stronk wamin kino but instead if settled for being trash.
Next Predator film should have a hunter in Mexico hunting down cartel members and cops, but the joke is that he gets away with it completely till the end despite his increasingly gruesome murders because absolutely no one’s phased by his kills
Current time, we are following a forest fighter team dealing with a huge fire.
Predator stalks them.
The team uses their flir camera to eventually spot what's after them.
Cue epic shots of fighting in the fire because the raging fires make his aim systems wonky. Surprise attacks from the firefighters through walls of fire etc.
Well the first one took out 6 elite special forces (arguably more because supposedly they sent a team before that didn't return) and countless south American guerrilla with him though. I think is not that bad
yeah, they have been altearing the lore and dragging it through the mud already. For example Preds were space homies who revelled against their space yt slavers now
No, they just show the times they lose on film, Jungle Hunter had been visiting that same jungle for decades and was never even seen, they thought he was a demon.
The sexy latina from Predator mentioned that her village had found skinned bodies in the past and all of the old women had b***h fits about it. And only 3 have died by human hands on Earth (4 if you count that one from avp 2 but I don't count nukes and he was dead to the predalien anyway even without the nuke)
what is the point of these movies?
humans are better/smarter hunters than predators? bodycount would suggest otherwise.
what are "predators" meant to represent? it can't be aliens or 'the other' because they do the exact same shit as the humans, they hunt.
hunting for sport is bad?
what is the message supposed to be?
Ultimately, it's a box office spectacle so there's not exactly any specific profound message trying to be pushed. People wanted to make a cool movie about an alien hunter vs badass commandos, and other people enjoyed the result.
You could say it's a movie about cunning and willpower overcoming the strength of technology, a real John Henry type of story, but they don't really drive that theme home as if it was the main intention.
ok makes sense but then again it doesn't fit with the lore of predators serially coming to earth to hunt under supervision/for fun/for coming of age ritual.
wouldn't they have seen all the moves humans can do before?
He knows how moronic dem laws are and despite the woman having a parasite that she can kill whenever she wants he will get charged with double homicide if he tried. So he prefered to spare her rather than dealing with that shit
It's so funny I watched Dutch vs Jungle Hunter and Naru vs Feral back to back and it is amazing, Dutch (a 250lb 6'3" tall special forces operative with 20 years of experience) tackles with no effect, punches to no effect and other shit against Jungle hunter who doesn't even flinch or move an inch, Dutch is completely outclassed physically and ragdolled around
Meanwhile Naru (100lb 5' tall teenage girl) stabs the monster 9 times, dodges around him doing parkour, cuts his arm by hooking the shield plates mid deploy and moving it towards it, jumps on his back, chokes him and throws it into a bog and only receives a single scratch in her shoulder
Not only that, but in the original, the Predator is clearly toying with Dutch as he knocks him around
But in this abomination, the 100lb girl is tanking kill shots that should liquefy her internal organs, and shaking it off like some other girl slapped her
Its hilariously bad
>the 100lb girl is tanking kill shots
It landed literally one hit on her, and tossed her around some. After it has been shot several times with bullets and arrows, got hit with bear traps, impaled through the shoulder by it's own spear, then was shot in the back of the head point blank. There are plenty of problems with the movie, but that's not one of them.
>Do they only send the shitty yautjas?
To Earth? Yeah, seems like that's the whole point. >Predator 2
Clearly an early hunt, has to be chaperoned by a bunch of older predators who watch him die to one dude who took his weapon from him >AvP
Explicitly state that it's an initiation for young predators >AvP2
Implied to be a way more experienced predator but also is fighting the predalien >Predators
Revealed that the predators we're used to actually are the shitty ones >Prey
Clearly hasn't been to Earth before or done much hunting of anything since he kills a damn snake and takes it as a trophy like it means anything
The only one where a predator is sent who we seemingly are supposed to think is a competent one is the original movie.
Yes, it was a manhood ritual. The latest one was the same, only Yautja who lack skill, need extensive weapons. Also Feral was a fricking runt, look at this shit. Arnold is probably bigger than he was.
The end animation shows it's Naru seeing the new Predator ships arrive but I only just noticed it also makes it look like someone else has the gun instead of her?
Not totally sure what that would mean.
Just before the credits roll, she does hand off the gun to someone else so the camera can have a shot of it zoomed in on the nameplate and reveal the reference.
there are non-shitty yautjas, but if you make a movie about them it's just a bunch of people getting slaughtered
Yes, exactly. That's literally what we fricking want.
Nobody cares what autistic mutts want though.
>Movie from the prespective of a predator
>Who directs?
you type like a gay
That's the whole point of the predator you colossal homosexual. It's an action slasher picture.
Would be infinitely better than Predators jobbing in every film. I want the Predators of the AvP games.

Anon, being a contrarian homosexual will not imply you have good taste
>its possible they have visited earth countless times and only a few have resulted in failure.
it's confirmed by glowies in the 2nd movie
Here is your answer OP
And the first movie. "The demon who makes trophies of men." It's part of the local folklore.
Make the Predator the protagonist by making all the humans evil. Pred in 1940's Europe hunting Nazis during the war, boom, done, script practically writes itself.
They will just find them to be good allies.
Concentration camps will be huge parks where they let the israelites loose for young predators to practice.
>Make the Predator the protagonist by making all the humans evi

The avp 2 predator was strictly tcob but had rotten luck at the hospital.
he didn't really have rotten luck, he just got chest-stabbed at the end (which he probably could've recovered from considering the same thing happened to the weeny brother) and then got a nuke dropped on him. he would've been fine if the nuke didn't hit

Also, the filmmakers just forgot that Alien blood is acid.There are constant ayy blood bursts, but nothing ever melts. Super distracting.
No, it's easy, you're just deficient. Requiem had plenty of problems, but lighting was not one of them.

Maybe they don't really mind dying in battle so they purposefully go to the hardest planets they can
unironically yes. the ones we see are young ones on their rite of passage.
That was true for AvP, Predator 2, and Prey. Jungle Hunter and Wolf were veterans.
Wolf yes. Not sure about Jungle Hunter.

He was a child, for Yautja he was most likely in his late teens.
Part of the hunt, is choosing prey that poses a danger to them. Because better prey earns them more pussy.
If they want a challenge they should be targeting world leaders since those are the most well-protected humans. I want a Predator film where the pred assassinates JFK or something.

Is it so hard for morons to conceive that no matter how skilled you are, you can still fail?
No, there were extremely experienced and skilled hunters in three of the movies.
The one in Predator 2 was a young one as his clan was on site to monitor his hunt, rewarding the human who killed him for an honorable duel and death.
He was soloing basically an entire hive plus some human dipshits

You have zero idea what you're talking about. You're like someone who only watches Marvel movies then tries to argue with comic readers.
How do you feel about a society, that insists you always have a salty runback if you bite off something bigger than you can chew?
In real-life we insist on hunting down and killing any animal that has eaten human flesh. We're just as salty.

>I bet you even have to type in Black person to activate it.
Fricking hell. Made me laugh more than it should have.
Seeing the timer counting down in alien numbers was kino as frick
Just finished watching Predator 1 and 2 because they were on youtube. FRICKING KINO. Prey made them justice btw
Prey is as good as Predator 2, but Predators (2010) is the second best movie, with the most dangerous human the Yautja have ever faced.
what are some kino alien and or predator comics?
Aliens: Labyrinth tales the xeno back to its horror roots, and it is good.
The first Aliens vs. Predator series is also decent, and it features a good guy predator who switches sides to help the protagonist.
hunter
Why are people assuming this? They are just some bored aliens hunting for fun.
poster doesn't have any knowledge of predator lore
Interesting question, then: at what point does a Predator decide his hunt is successful and leave? Is there like a cap or something on species before they finally go 'ah well, I'm at the catch limit, time to leave?' How many guys did the one in Predator 2 need to kill before he finally met his cap and left? Dude killed like what- a couple dozen people at least?
Probably when they're convinced they've hunted the most deadly prey in the area.
Aka, if they manage to kill the thing that gives them the most trouble to hunt.
Trophies are cool and all, but imagine a trophy that has a good story to go with it.
>at what point does a Predator decide his hunt is successful and leave?
he gets hurt badly enough that he has to stop or he runs out of interesting things to kill
they pick a good hunting spot and comb and poke and prod around till they identify the apex predator and then they lock on them and isolate it, by killing any and all other threats and challenge it and if they kill it they take the main trophy and frick off
the aliens are not the predators, their game is
>black bucks about to get broken
Either when they get the best and most difficult kill, or when they decide that there’s nothing worth killing, get bored, and leave.
If they return from a hunt with no trophy they are sentenced to death. They have to find something badass to kill or its their ass on the line.
I mean leave to the next or a better hunting ground to get a trophy, not go home.
Sounds like gay comics fanfic shit.
Does it? Why do you think the guy in Predator 1 blew himself up. They are kinda like space samurais. Death before dishonor and all that.
Because he was made a b***h by Arnold and wouldn’t survive due to the wounds anyway?
I think you fot it right anon its when you hit your tag limit. Thats why they get to wipe a good amount of humans out since tags for humans are low.
Apparently the really strong Predators only fight xenomorphs.
But there were some video games where the pred wins
no but humans simply do not make movies about every other instance where they don't die
Does Predator race lay eggs?
No. They have female predators. Read here but have ad blocker on
https://aliens.fandom.com/wiki/Yautja#Reproduction
>Mating is considered pleasurable, but might be violent. One of Dachande's mates once tossed him across a room during the heat of their mating, although that was an accident. She was known to howl in ecstasy during the act, and it is noted that there is apparently a breeding season for mating. Additionally, at least some females are known to have milk glands, confirming their mammal-like nature. The children are referred to as "suckers".[18]
>C'ntlip is a fiery Yautja brew that fogs mind and body with pleasure.[18]
c**t-lip?
C'ntlip. Yeah. Never read whatever comic/novelization it's in, but I can't believe that name is an accident.
Imagine fricking that mouth vegana
What do predator milkies look like?
veiny prob
slim torpedoes with nice long nips to accommodate the mandibles
Futa penises.
They're like hyenas.
You know blue milk in Star Wars? Now it's green.
That is fanmade trash. Unconfirmed and not a part of the canon.
Excerpt from the novels, actually.
it's from the one good AVP book
Literally has a source in there you FRICKING moron.
They actively hunt in every war and conflict in history, and only fail on extremely rare occasions, which is why their existence isn't common knowledge.
Humans are the real Predators
>Yautja
okay, real talk- how the frick is this pronounced?
"Yowt-juh"? "Yah-oot-chah"?
>Yah-oot-chah
yeah, like that
Yeowch-a?
it's not pronounced it's reddit shit
Yeowcha?
It's ch ch ch ch ma ma ma ma
Yowt-jah
Why cant they just make one of these frickin Predator sequels right? It's one guy in a suit killing people, frick
Watch the prequel then that's literally all it's about you stupid b***h stop whining
Imagine the ones that become sex slaves for humans.
just have to defang one
You just have to frick one long enough until you mindbreak him into becoming your willing alien sex slave. Then you won't have to defang him.
What the frick are you talking about man
I'm talking about rape. I like rape.
ah the Mike Tyson school of love
>"I'll frick you 'till you love me, homosexual!"
There's great wisdom in his words.
What's super lame is in Predator 2 when it starts running away from fricking Danny Glover.
We need an adaptation of Concrete Jungle so that we can end the cycle. He jobs so hard that he's exiled for like 100 years on a death planet by his clan, survives, and has to redeem himself by going back to earth and destroying all of the Predator tech that he left behind in the first pace. A Predator movie with a Predator protagonist and its redemption would make the franchise as a whole feel a lot less foolish in my opinion.
Will we ever get a movie about the White saviour Hish ancestor of the Yautja race? Defeating the bugmen and saving his enslaved people was a great honor.
"Elite hunters"
every one of these things is a cowardly b***h, and sore losers too.
they're like rich kids hunting cows with RPGs
They are OVER RATED
they struggle to kill ONE alien
Handful of Marines and one chick killed a whole planet full
The PREDATOR IS WEAK
t.
A Predator is no match for a determined coomer.
enough with the fortune cookies
Made me laugh
Predators are complete b***hes when you think about it. They like to larp as badass warriors but the ones we see are the equivalent of trophy hunters that pay huge money to shoot on a preserve or a game ranch. The ones in predator 2 let murtaugh go because they got a good laugh at seeing that young shitter get killed and they still got paod ass hunting guides.
And then they still tried to incinerate him with their spaceship exhaust after he walked away. Passive aggressive b***h move.
i would like to see a movie where a predator is captured by high tech aliens, and has to fight his way free and back to his weapons and home
That would be a cool plot for a movie.
>Pay no attention to those yautjas, we purposely sent them to Earth... as a joke.
What happens to crippled preds
The guy who lose a leg or an arm while hunting but manage to go back
they can regrow limbs
bullshit
it's in predator 2
Fricking when
here
Predators know alchemy
Black person, do you know what cauterization is
What? That's just it cauterizing the wound.
Lmfao no fricking way this was his growing the limb back, I always saw it as him cauterizing the thing so no more blood/trail
What the frick are you smoking?
Unrelated, but I love this scene. It shows that the Predator is comfortable enough to have identified human society and know where to find what he needs in an average home, and is the first time a predator is ever shown with a real self-preserving instinct. In this scene, the Predator feels vulnerable, without feeling like prey. Predator 2 is a mediocre movie that does a poor job replacing the sweat of the jungle with industrial grime, it needed more of this.
when he loses his fricking arm maybe
How convenient.
they hunt again
they hunt till they die
this, I imagine. & with their tech they can probably whip up some pretty b***hin prosthetics.
Aren’t they just all baby yautja in all the movies?
No. The 3 in AvP are fresh rookies though.
when will they adapt what really matters?
is this some mandela effect shit there's at least 2 of us who remember him regrowing the limb
there's no mandingo effect, 2 of you are idiots
t. cern
No you're stupid. How do you think Danny Glover matched city hunter in melee combat? The predator was fighting him with one arm on the ship.
Everyone can agree the second movie is garbage right?
I found it dumb fun. Gave us a lot of world building predator lore.
you shut your prostitute mouth
If it had less yelling and shitty dialogue it'd be better off. Also what lore? The reveal they'd been doing it for years was cool but that's only thing I can think of
This. While not the gem the first one is, Predator 2 mogs everything that came after it.
Alien vs predator to me wins over in the "dumb fun" category but ig that's mostly for the crossover aspect
Predator 2 is a great movie
wrong
I swear to god they grow limbs. I watched it in one of the movies. Maybe it was AvP.
Found the clip of the Predator growing his arm
Yeah he always had a p weird interest in gohan
Predators are jobbers.
They were sacrificing themselves
when do Predators call it quits? like we’ve seen movies of the Preds killing a bunch but not knowing when to be done and then eventually dying
we need a Predator movie where they frick shit up and then leave, successful. Maybe they should do it in Russia or at a MAGA convention
I always thought Predators were basically meant to be a slight parody of big game trophy "hunters". Similar to how a lot of those trophy "hunters" will use cars, giant blunderbuss tier weapons, blinds, GPS navigation, etc and then claim their trophy as if they're god tier. However, once you throw a hunter like that in a real hunting environment with just the clothes on their back and a rifle, then they're fricked, just like the Predator once he's out of gadgets and his armour is gone.
there'll never be a predator movie where all the humans just die. fricking moronic misanthropes
there are ones who don't die at the ending of pred 2. which they retconned since the flintlock they give donald glover is the same one the NA chick gets in Prey
That predator in front looks handsome. I want to put my dick in his mouth pussy.
>the flintlock they give donald glover is the same one the NA chick gets in Prey
Not really, if you compare both weapons they're similar and have the same inscription, but the wooden parts in Prey have different engravings, the trigger is also different and located in a different possition, etc. I think they might have been done by the same smith but not the same weapon per se
>which they retconned since the flintlock they give donald glover is the same one the NA chick gets in Prey
so they gave glover a flintlock for winning, but it's the same one from prey does that mean they didn't give her anything for winning they just killed her?
My assumption on watching was the Predators come back and take the gun as their trophy.
A friend of mine argues Predators respect victors and wouldn't just come back and ice Naru, so they might have obtained the gun through some act of mutual respect? But as a movie guy I never feel like there's anything that says Preds act that way.
>so they might have obtained the gun through some act of mutual respect?
Or maybe Naru died of old age and preds came later know that tribe has decent fighters worth hunting and one of them had the gun, her son or grandson I dunno
Nah, they show up during the credits sequence, no reason to believe the pistol handoff happens any other time. Occam's Razor and all that.
Anons the predators of most movies and other media are the young inexperienced ones on their first hunt, as they see humans and Xenos as the perfect "prey" killable but clever
>remembers the old lore
More like no lore. You want talk all that bullshit go back to Cinemaphile and stay go.
Suck my dick zoomer
Gladly
Present it.
It was RLM or another comedian but I'll never get over the idea we're seeing the "weekend warrior"/glamping Yaujta.
How do the Preds get the pistol at the end of Prey to then give to Danny Glover?
retconned
Looks like someone switched off instead of watching the credits
Hint: things don't end well for Naru
not a chance they kill off a strong wahman, she'll fight the final boss pred to a standstill and they'll trade weapons as a sign of respect or something
>they'll trade weapons as a sign of respect or something
going with this. probably not her fighting off other preds though
Just like they approached Mike Harrigan and killed him right?
Predators have always been chill towards humans that manage to kill one of them, probably something similar happened here, we don't know the specifics since that's the last image we get
It inflicts 90+% casualties, then loses to the hero after getting over confident and toying with them. That's damn dangerous by any metric. Skewed even more by the fact that it's not a soldier, it's an extreme sports enthusiast.
They should do a predator movie in 1950s USSR where the predator stalks and kills a bunch of GRU, almost loses to the last guy, and then flies off into the sunset. No women. Only slavs.
>Only slavs.
Based. The only time the predator should win is after genociding slavs in the snow.
They have purposely trained those Yautjas wrong. As a joke.
The predator movies are documentaries on how not to hunt.
These movies are training videos in the predator world of what not to do.
all horror movies are actually about deconstructing and attacking enlightenment values, predator may not be the scariest of horror but it fulfills the criteria, as it is against a strong nationalistic courage
Predator is basically a deconstruction of the 80s action hero drama and even most of Arnold’s work. The entire op they were sent in the jungle for was a sham and the Predator itself basically wrecks everything they throw at it and Arnold only wins by luck in the end.
>Predator is basically a deconstruction
I mean it starts out initially like a lot of action thrillers from the 80s but turns it all on it’s head in the second act by becoming a slasher horror film.
It really was though. It was a 80's red blooded machoman shooting movie turned into a slasher Sci-fi.
>all these predators dying on this one single planet
when will the higher-ups of their race glass earth?
>get rid of the planet with the best prey
Earth is probably on the top ten most visited planets by Yautja since its one of the only places a less advanced prey race has ever turned the tables on them.
>Six hunters die on Earth
>"better put them all down"
This is like if human beings stopped driving cars because Dilbert McAccounting got hit by a bus on the way to work
The predators symbolize spiritual evil, the Comanches were extremely evil in the following history, this movie symbolizes their contact with the most vile demonic entities which will guide their path.
Anyone ever watch this before?
>>
I usually avoid fan films because they are cringe and bad.
I have never seen predators or the predator, should i give them a watch?
So the essence, that only Predator 2 captialized on is that you have a bunch of classic action movie heroes/strong guys be in a context where they are preyed upon by a horror creature much more powerful than them, rendering them useless.
It's a horror movie with that unique element.
For that I'd say watching Predator 2 and Predators will sufice, Predator 1 is comedically bad
Are you moronic? Predator 1 is the best one.
Only if you are a mentally ill boomer from that era who grew on bad movies.
It's bad and any smart person from any age, back then or now thinks so.
Enjoy your bad goyslop, it was made to launder money anyway.
Predators is a maybe, some people like it some don't
The Predator is legitimately really bad, there's really no reason to go there
So what do predators do outside of hunting? What’s their economy look like, do they have predators doing none hunting shit like agriculture, engineering, R&D for new technologies.
>predator college professor in a tweed jacket
They wrestle Asian women
IS THAT A HECKIN' 90 POUND WOMAN FIGHTING A STRONGER MAN?
THAT'S IT I'M VOTING FOR TRUMP AGAIN
I'm currently fapping to that comic.
I'm fapping to this.
That's a girl...right?
The vegana mouth is close enough so it's not gay.
considering the link, probably not
I am in awe of that foreskin simulation, that's seriously impressive stuff. Especially for what I assume is SFM.
Actually she's fighting a pred known as "shorty", who is a joke among predators and is constantly bullied but found in the human female a way to vent his anger by bulling her. Is way shorter than other preds and has mental and physical defects and the girl still has a hard time beating him and only because kung fu martial arts bullshit he manages to throw him out of the ring instead of giving him a proper beating
Maybe all the predators we’ve seen are just really extreme autists and most of the species is actually pretty chill and civilized
Honestly the most likely thing would be the gazorpazorps in Rick and Morty where the women live in societal bubbles and the men are savage warriors, completely separated and specialize in their own roles.
I like to imagine that they have a society of enlightened rational empathetic thinkers, and the Hunts are to know what it feels like to take a life and see the intelligence fade from a sentient's eyes, and to never forget that feeling and never forget that they need protection
they come to earth for recreational hunting, and if you're from a species with interstellar travel and laser blasters you probably have to be kind of a noob ass b***h to find hunting dumb frick humans who can barely reach their moon a challenge
And then some of them just want to get fricked by humans. The Sexual Predators.
if they are such elite hunters why are they using the cloaking shit? what a fricking pussy
Human hunters do the exact shame shit against deer
Hunters also wear bright orange
Thats just so they don't shoot eachother dumbass. If they're alone they'll wear as much camo as possible
>he doesn't know about the orange furred garloid
Fricking hunterlets
Why does Critical Drinker fear the Prey?
Why don't we have a predator main character yet?
>hops off a stump before attacking
>backflips off a tree to dodge
>slides through his legs to slash
>doesn't do the mid-combat knife drop from one hand into the other hand
This could've been le stronk wamin kino but instead if settled for being trash.
Next Predator film should have a hunter in Mexico hunting down cartel members and cops, but the joke is that he gets away with it completely till the end despite his increasingly gruesome murders because absolutely no one’s phased by his kills
Like Predator 2 but literally everyone chalks it up to cartels being cartels
Alien vs predators
Imagine:
Current time, we are following a forest fighter team dealing with a huge fire.
Predator stalks them.
The team uses their flir camera to eventually spot what's after them.
Cue epic shots of fighting in the fire because the raging fires make his aim systems wonky. Surprise attacks from the firefighters through walls of fire etc.
>nooo why can't we have an incel power fantasy movie
Incel beating a predator by cooming in its eyes or using stinkiness to beat a predator
?
Well the first one took out 6 elite special forces (arguably more because supposedly they sent a team before that didn't return) and countless south American guerrilla with him though. I think is not that bad
>Do they only send the shitty yautjas?
Unironically yes. The elite Yautja are too cool to hunt something puny like humans. We only get the rookies.
Nah human is just THAT good
Preds are basically the Chuds of our galaxy and we all know Chuds are never the physical specimens they envisage themselves
meds, now
are these "chuds" in the room us?
*with
Reminder that mickey mouse now owns predator and alien franchise, reminder mickey mouse ruins everything it touches.
They just made the first good Predator movie in over 30 years
12 years.
yeah, they have been altearing the lore and dragging it through the mud already. For example Preds were space homies who revelled against their space yt slavers now
Preds were slavs who rose up against bugmen slavers by following a white predator.
Pretty based.
>muh lore
Comic books are for morons.
No, they just show the times they lose on film, Jungle Hunter had been visiting that same jungle for decades and was never even seen, they thought he was a demon.
The sexy latina from Predator mentioned that her village had found skinned bodies in the past and all of the old women had b***h fits about it. And only 3 have died by human hands on Earth (4 if you count that one from avp 2 but I don't count nukes and he was dead to the predalien anyway even without the nuke)
3 on Earth, 3 more in space.
Space Black folk don't count
they're not sending their best

This, the canon Disney name is Hish, chuds. Learn it
The Hish were Yautja ancestors, dipshit.
>Die in every movie
>He fell for the franchiseisraelite meme
There's only one Predator movie, the one with SchwarzeBlack person
what is the point of these movies?
humans are better/smarter hunters than predators? bodycount would suggest otherwise.
what are "predators" meant to represent? it can't be aliens or 'the other' because they do the exact same shit as the humans, they hunt.
hunting for sport is bad?
what is the message supposed to be?
The message is don't frick with erf
Ultimately, it's a box office spectacle so there's not exactly any specific profound message trying to be pushed. People wanted to make a cool movie about an alien hunter vs badass commandos, and other people enjoyed the result.
You could say it's a movie about cunning and willpower overcoming the strength of technology, a real John Henry type of story, but they don't really drive that theme home as if it was the main intention.
ok makes sense but then again it doesn't fit with the lore of predators serially coming to earth to hunt under supervision/for fun/for coming of age ritual.
wouldn't they have seen all the moves humans can do before?
Horror movies with a non supernatural enemy.
>Doesn't kill a woman who is pregnant
Is the predator pro-life?
He knows how moronic dem laws are and despite the woman having a parasite that she can kill whenever she wants he will get charged with double homicide if he tried. So he prefered to spare her rather than dealing with that shit
>100lb girl takes beating from a monster who can kill bears with his bare hands
>Not only lives, but completely embarrasses the monster
It's so funny I watched Dutch vs Jungle Hunter and Naru vs Feral back to back and it is amazing, Dutch (a 250lb 6'3" tall special forces operative with 20 years of experience) tackles with no effect, punches to no effect and other shit against Jungle hunter who doesn't even flinch or move an inch, Dutch is completely outclassed physically and ragdolled around
Meanwhile Naru (100lb 5' tall teenage girl) stabs the monster 9 times, dodges around him doing parkour, cuts his arm by hooking the shield plates mid deploy and moving it towards it, jumps on his back, chokes him and throws it into a bog and only receives a single scratch in her shoulder
Not only that, but in the original, the Predator is clearly toying with Dutch as he knocks him around
But in this abomination, the 100lb girl is tanking kill shots that should liquefy her internal organs, and shaking it off like some other girl slapped her
Its hilariously bad
>the 100lb girl is tanking kill shots
It landed literally one hit on her, and tossed her around some. After it has been shot several times with bullets and arrows, got hit with bear traps, impaled through the shoulder by it's own spear, then was shot in the back of the head point blank. There are plenty of problems with the movie, but that's not one of them.
It hit her with a shield that slices trees in half and cuts through stone.
She got a scratch from it.
The shield wasn't edged all the way around, just where it closes, like a giant scissors.
>It landed literally one hit on her
When did this started? was Black Widow? because in Prey she also uses the headlock with her legs into a spin throw
>Do they only send the shitty yautjas?
To Earth? Yeah, seems like that's the whole point.
>Predator 2
Clearly an early hunt, has to be chaperoned by a bunch of older predators who watch him die to one dude who took his weapon from him
>AvP
Explicitly state that it's an initiation for young predators
>AvP2
Implied to be a way more experienced predator but also is fighting the predalien
>Predators
Revealed that the predators we're used to actually are the shitty ones
>Prey
Clearly hasn't been to Earth before or done much hunting of anything since he kills a damn snake and takes it as a trophy like it means anything
The only one where a predator is sent who we seemingly are supposed to think is a competent one is the original movie.
>Revealed that the predators we're used to actually are the shitty ones
Judging by theyre performance the ones in Predators and Prey are obviously the moronic downie Black person varients.
Isn't the Prey predator one of the smaller ones?
It's practically a midget.
The end animation shows it's Naru seeing the new Predator ships arrive but I only just noticed it also makes it look like someone else has the gun instead of her?
Not totally sure what that would mean.
Just before the credits roll, she does hand off the gun to someone else so the camera can have a shot of it zoomed in on the nameplate and reveal the reference.
how did the lion carry the commanche away?
the delusional/dishonest shilling regarding this garbagefest is astounding
Is this some important feminist moment or something?
