This. It sets a good precedence for something that was so fricking obvious since Predator 2. It astounds me that it took us this long to get there.
every movie that isnt a drama or comedy may as well be playing with action figures you frickin moron
fistful of dynamite could have easily just been some autistic italian kid swinging cowboy action figures around going pew pew, but it wasnt, it was a film
we need a predator versus colonial marines too. It would be different from the rest because the humans are nearly equal to the Preds this time, forcing them to use their full arsenal.
Literally just finished the movie and said this to my gf.
It was a good, straight forward movie but I hope it isn't the peak of the new direction they're going in because it didn't have much "wow" factor to it.
I think a 7 Samurai style movie with a band of young wienery predators coming to Earth to wreck havoc and a band of Samurai coming together to stop it would be kino.
reckon there'd be at least one predator that'd love fighting numbers rather than individual skilled ones
how many child soldiers in the congo could a predator take out in 24hrs? would be kino
>predator is defeated >Black folk sell the carcass for bushmeat, resulting in the outbreak of deadly space disease predatorpox, which wipes out Earth's homosexuals
Siege of Stalingrad, predator starts huntig both german and russian soldiers, and two unlikely soldiers have to team up in order to survive. Frick lore about predators liking heat, they can wear a fricking jacket.
The heat can be done if set in North Africa in WW2. Axis and Allies have to team up to beat the predator. You could even get Arnie back as a German general.

The only problem is that predator is an adults franchise and jurassic park is a family franchise. And Jurassic Park is a moderately healthier IP than which wouldn't want to degrade itself by sinking to Predator's level.
Post situations you'd like to see a predator in
for me, it'd be dropping into the WW1 Italian front and fighting the austro-hungarians and italians alike in the mountain peaks, eventually being killed by both sides teaming up
bonus points for predator gets injured by poison gas
In africa, i want the predator to chase these guys, letting them know how it feels to be chased for hours nonstop in harsh climate, basically battle of endurance and willpower.
I agree. That's why I said "franchise". But you know they're going to milk whatever IP they have so they might as well do something entertaining with it. Frickin moron.
Yes, in the movie the Predators kidnap a bunch of spec ops, mercs, terrorists, and criminals to have a fun hunt.
It even has Predator on Predator racism

Need a franchise of movies where Tom just keeps getting captured by an enemy army, fights for that army to the last, then captured by the army that wiped them out.
Repeat until he has been the last everything.
i think i read or heard that the actor was constantly fricked on fire water and difficult to deal with, so instead of an epic melee battle, he was just killed off screen.
Yeah, they were going to film the scene but the actor was uncooperative so they had to scrapt it all and they only left what they have filmed at the time
Out of all the franchises born in the 80s and 90s I’d argue that the Predator franchise has the most potential. Prey is a step in the write direction but they need to do a better job with the execution.
Predator drops in Eastern Ukraine, it goes the the nearest city where it fights the AZOV battalion, slaughters them. Then the LPR/DNR forces show up and they start fighting, manages a few kills before it figures their weakness. Z force shows up about the stall of the battle, starts using White Phosproas to push the predator back and arty. The Predator gets pushed into the AZOV cum bunker basement laymbrith. Z force SSO units show up and theres a 25min long zero dark thirty style scene to end the movie in the Azovstal iron and steel works plant. Where the SSO units fight the Predator and the Azov battalion trapped inside with a 3 way battle.
Would be kino if it had absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine. But a simultaneous three way battle between two opposing forces and a predator in a claustrophobic, enclosed area would be great
I had an idea for a Predator movie like, 20 years ago with some frontiersmen finding their peeps skinned alive and thinking it was the injuns and so the Pred gets to hunt in the middle of a conflict it unwittingly started.
Prey sucked. Main character gets like 20 dudes killed including her brother. Acts like she’s some amazing warrior and it’s not their sacrifice being the reason she’s alive
Just watched it, It's not as shit as AVP but pretty bland. It seemed like some writer had a half finished script about a stong warrior woman not needing no help and the studio just slapped the predator name onto it to stir interest. Basically the movie version of the Current Thing.
She gets one person killed - the French trapper leader. Everyone else willingly chose to fight the predator or died running from it after attempting to fight it. People did indeed sacrifice themselves for her, because she was their tribeswoman or sister, but no one died because of her actions except the Frenchman and the predator.
The Predator never targeted anyone from her tribe.
She just saw his tracks and decided she needed to hunt him for whatever reason. Then all the people from her tribe that died were because they went looking for her.
Post situations you'd like to see a predator in
for me, it'd be dropping into the WW1 Italian front and fighting the austro-hungarians and italians alike in the mountain peaks, eventually being killed by both sides teaming up

>mirroring the IRL modern relationship between the two countries
Aside from your lame script ideas, you have a very childlike understanding of modern US - Vietnam relations.
One set during operation Barbarossa in a isolated village during winter. The Predator kills from both sides until they decide to team up to kill him, but even then they can't stop backstabbing each other and work for the greater good except the protagonist. In the end the protagonist is left alone against the Predator and believes he killed him by crushing him under rubble or by an explosion but is attacked by another human, the predator reveals to still be alive, kills the other human and let the protagonist go since he was the only one he considered honorable.
The protagonist walks away disgusted at how war divided humans so much they couldn't even focus on surviving.
okay so theres a predator ship and then he's > I want to hunt the marvel universe
so he hunts starlord across the galaxy killing everykind of dirty disgusting alien that gets in his way of killing starlord >gotta predator
he just guts rocket and then proceeds to massacre the entire ship
it's filmed like noir action film imagine the predator as agent 47/john wick
Why are the predators getting weaker as every movie comes out? The first one must have been special forces and the Prey one must have been army reserves. I expect the next one lose to a Soccer mom having a bad day at this rate.
Prey was alright but it's a good example of what this "franchise" should be. Just give us different Predators fighting against different historical warriors.
Make it mid-budget and do a Pred vs Samuari. Pred vs Roman Centurions. Pred vs Vikings, etc.
Im feeling generous, so Im gonna throw some studio intern poaching for ideas here a bone. >Yeah 2117 >Young Yautja is finally allowed to go on his first hunt to prove himself >Predator drops on some shitty planet to find prey, which has readings of a small settlement/outpost of humanoids >He finds some evidence of some horrible beast demolishing super advanced humanoids >He tracks it >He keeps stumbling over horribly mutilated bodies >Days pass while he tracks it >Eventually he realizes the tracks lead him to a dead end >He is now being hunted... >The next rest of the film is spent surviving/fighting the thing using his wits/environment to kill a much stronger/faster bioweapon (hint hint)
I think ideas they have by the thousands. The thing is the moment it arrives at some high profile exec/producer, it gets shred to pieces because it can only moves forward if respects a few "metrics' and "directives" that some statistics/screenings/reports shown that they must obey in order to guarantee some sort of audience approval.
Having said that, good idea.
>mall katana
Come on, we can agree that their shitty ore needed to be folded a lot (technique known even by Vikings) to get into a decent state. katana is not different than most cleavers you don't need to be disingenous when dismissing the "nipon strong steel folded 1000 times!" meme
Also real katanas (not mall ones) are brittle, they tend to snap not bend
Make a predator movie on a military base or in a small town. I want to see a fricking slaughter before the prolific hunter with advanced tech from outer space gets killed by a stick with a pointy rock on the end of it.
>If they make too many of these movies the Predator will become the Redditor for jobbing so much
he already has become the redditor. he has done nothing but job time and time again.
The last movie was about predators harvesting autism because they are mad about global warming, and their goal with this predator was to bend gender norms (their stated goal, not mine) and have a strong powerful brave native american woman who don't need no man
It would be cool if they keep spawning these historic Predator movies as a "Prey" franchise.
Reboot the mainline Predator movies and have a modern, continuous story and then have "Prey" as lower budget, disconnected films.
Predator lands on Jeffrey Epsteins island.
goes inside , is horrified by what he sees and tries to flee instead of hunting.
he becomes the hunted by demonic entities and horny bsnsmen wanting to frick an alien.
there are some /k/ommandos on their way talking in memes and helping the pred to get to the core of the island where they fight one of the princes of hell together.
in the end the predator becomes a fullblown pepe enthusiast and helps humanity with getting rid of the israelites and their demon overlords.
an alliance is formed and predators never attack humanity ever again.

Predators raze earth's tech hubs before we invent AI that can make itself smarter in an intensifying feedback loop and destroy all life in the universe.
Because the franchise started out as a parody that tried its hardest to be as over the top as possible. It has DBZ-tier powerlevels and every important character is Goku.
>40k guy uses super mega ultra Black personkiller death gun he casually fires with one hand and kills the predator instantly
I dunno about that one anon
I want a predator series muck like genndy tartakowsky's primal. No dialogue just the hunt. You follow a pred or dfferent preds every episode and their encounters with different civilizations and creatures throughout the galaxy.
The protagonist is consistently out of her depth and doesn't have any outlandish moments meant to prop up her identity. She could be replaced with any other race and still feel the same.
In short, she's a human first and black second, the old colorblind standard.
Because she's a normal person caught up in a fricked up situation and acts like that. She nearly breaks down crying when Scar catches up to her or right after killing the alien. Nowadays strong independent wahmen will never even consider to cry because they are strong and independent.
I re-watched it last year, fully expecting to now hate it, but still ended up liking the protag and the overall movie a lot.
Because the internet explicitly tells you, "Movies made before a certain date good, movies made after that date bad." I guarantee both of you have made such posts within the last 24 hours. Movies never changed, but you are told to view them differently and you do because you are sheep.
No you idiot, I liked the protag because she wasn't some superwoman but an average joe that mainly survived due to pure luck but still did the best she could.
>Movies never changed
That is very explicitly not true. The choices writers make when writing characters has completely changed, reflecting modern perspectives on race and the abolition of colorblindness and tokenism.
the movie is okay at best
everyone's so saturated in shit that they see it as the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but considering it anything more than slightly above average...dear God
This movie makes me think Predator has finally outshone the Alien franchise. Ridley Scott wienered up hard with his direction of Prometheus and Covenent, while Prey seems to have been received pretty decent which for a sci fi slasher, is solidm
Speaking of, where's the sequel to Covenant, the final movie in the Prometheus trilogy? There were 5 years between Prometheus and its sequel, and it's been 5 years since Covenant, yet there hasn't been a word about a new Alien movie.
The studio execs forced Scott to turn his Prometheus sequel into a more typical "Alien" film as well as slash his budget for the movie.
Unless Scott gets full creative control and a decent budget comparable to that of Prometheus, I would rather them let the franchise be kept of ice a bit. Which is sad because David is the most interesting character out of the entire Alien franchise, even more so than the Xenomorph itself.
No clue but honestly I felt Scott did a half assed job in Covenent as he felt fed up with the franchise. It would not surprise me if there was no third act and in a roundabout way, I would consider that a mercy to the franchise.
It wasn't 1/10 garbage but Ridley was phoning it in hard. That said I actually liked Prometheus.
I kind of like this design. Looks more feral, and kind of mutated. Like the Predator version of a Brazilian.

Can't really go by skin color since individuals vary even in the same race. Facial anatomy wise Feral and Berserker are similar but Feral has more slanted eyes and a more rounded forehead with lower lips. They're probably from similar areas on their homeworld.

I meant as in more closely related than both are to the standard Yautja we see. The are seemingly going the route of predators being like humans with being many diverse populations even with different races. Not sure if I like but it's not stupid. Feral and berserker have similar foreheads but feral has a broader brow and higher upper mandible. Both have longer facers than the standard pred.

Probably because you can sell toys as well if they all have the same face, which I guess is also why they introduced the different masks. Which granted, a lot of them look really fricking cool compared to the simple original.

You just reminded me of the fact that the predator took the dropped idea of yautja using other species DNA to upgrade themselves. But instead of it being one outcast group of roid preds it tried saying that the entire race does it.

That just seems too far fetched. Tech is one thing, hell, even strategy and politics. I can see how they'd incorporate those. But DNA of a completely different species just leads to a genetic mess logistically.
Even if it could be done as a story, the way that movie approached it wasn't good.

It was just bizarre to me. I'm open minded to ideas but it seemed anticlimactic to use as a plot point in a predator movie.
And the cast and characters were random and forgettable. None of the other movies had this issue with the protagonists, not even Predators, which had more people in it, because everyone served some kind of purpose and stood out more or less.
I think Shane Black was just going for a glorified sci fi B-movie with a higher budget, but a lot of the decisions fell flat.

The Predator 2018 might've been inspired by Alien in terms of xenos incorporating humans to further their goals in some way. But it was done in the worst way possible.
The Concrete Jungle video game had a human who tried to splice himself with predator DNA or something like that and become one of them. That was done in a superior way.

>Weak head ridge >protruding snout and jaw >wide set eyes
It's unironically a yautja Black person
A sword like that is more well suited for dueling than a long claw (it's attached to the forearm like a claw) so the guy with the katana probably had the advantage. More moves to pull off with a two handed sword.
A single yautja can kill scores of xenos + a Queen so I'm not very sold on that.
But xenos have a superior way of reproducing and culling another population simultaneously.
Honor code or some shit. I'm sure there's some Yauja somewhere that breed Predaliens specifically for hunting.
Yautja hate predaliens because they view them as abominations. Yautja hate miscegenation which is why the “traditional” predators hate the superpredators who probably modify themselves with gene therapy or something, and the predalien is the ultimate union of themselves and their prey.
They also hate meaningless killing which is why they hate the blood libelists or whatever the black-armored ones with the xenomorph hounds are called
You think the new Xenoking will appear in future avp media? Seems way above most stuff yautja hunt.
no because it would be a male in power and they can’t have that lol
The issue with predators, like with other similar sort of weirdly primitivistic space faring aliens is how one explains away their archaic behavior and social structures that still somehow allows them to have extremely advanced technology and space faring.
I mean, the concept of a predator scientist is fricking silly is it not? At least if we assume that the hunting shit is something more than literally a weekend hobby the predators do for fun and entertainment and their regular society is wholly different. The extended universe material has of course, made the hunting central part of their society which again, brings the whole clash between weird primitive tribe/clan shit vs having advanced tech.
Personally, I think that there are two decent ways of getting around this problem, first being the idea that predator culture descends from some sort of decadent or even semi collapsed star faring civilization that socially regressed into bunch of primitive savages while still clinging on to some technological shit, or that the predators stumbled upon technology of more advanced aliens/were uplifted in some way and just use this shit for their hunting that they don't necessarily understand properly. The later of these explanations is imo, weaker, because it doesn't get around explaining how they can make more of advanced tech they don't even understand. The former explanation could get away with them still having retained advanced tech trough safe guarded data banks, artisanship that passes over generations and looting the ruins of their more advanced age for parts and shit etc.
It's only weird from a human perspective. They're aliens, so a hunt can be a perfectly normal custom that, say, a poet or a scientist from Yautja Prime engages in.
That's true, but again, the extended universe shit made it seem like the entire predator society is solely decidated to hunting and tribal behavior which clashes with their access to shit like fricking space ships, that need massive industrial base to build and maintain.
Are there fricking predator engineers designing ships? Predator miners harvesting resources to build the ships? Or robots made by the predators to harvest shit?
It very well could be that predators live in what essentially is post scarcity society and to them the hunts are something they do to keep themselves entertained, but the thing is that the media we've seen of them never really showecased any of the non hunting related aspects of them, and what of their behavior we've seen have never really explained what their civilization as a whole is like.
Once you have a space ship and access to interstellar travel, you're bound to discover other tech on different planets and incorporate some of that into your own.
Considering they had wrist computers and what not, it's not crazy to imagine that there was also some automated industrialization on their planet that led to the production of various equipment and so on.
Aren't the Amengi enslaved to them currently if I'm understanding currently Canon. The Amengi are the ones who they learned the technology from so could they possibly use them to create stuff for them in some compacity?

Yeah, but that's just a starting point. Once you get access to other species you can study and incorporate all kinds of things from their planets.
That being said, I think it's implied that Predators already have pretty much everything they can ever need in terms of equipment and weaponry.
>The issue with predators, like with other similar sort of weirdly primitivistic space faring aliens is how one explains away their archaic behavior and social structures that still somehow allows them to have extremely advanced technology and space faring.
Do you have any ideal how popular hunting is among medical doctors and engineers? These days, more intelligent people hunt than stupid people. Notice how the average normie is entirely against the concept of hunting for sport.

if you take the Wolf predator and the Killer tribe as examples, their race seems to have way more advanced technology than they would let anyone, even their own people, be aware of.
It’s also possible that certain tribes develop technology on their own, or there is a significant portion of their race that is entirely nomadic, and doesn’t have the same technology as other parts.

Need a franchise of movies where Tom just keeps getting captured by an enemy army, fights for that army to the last, then captured by the army that wiped them out.
Repeat until he has been the last everything.
A bruised Tom cruise to be used and abused?
Best indian is forgotten. Billy ain't no b***h.
Why did he just stand there? At least give him a battle scene
i think i read or heard that the actor was constantly fricked on fire water and difficult to deal with, so instead of an epic melee battle, he was just killed off screen.
Yeah, they were going to film the scene but the actor was uncooperative so they had to scrapt it all and they only left what they have filmed at the time
he had a bodyguard on set to keep him from fricking with others
It was better without any scene, you just have to imagine a total badass getting wrecked
there was a comic about it
I tried to get my mom to buy me a knife that big once. b***h said no.
Dont call your mom a b***h, anon. You will regret it later. Call her now and tell her you love her.
reminder he slipped off the log and screamed falling to his death
The brother making a last stand reminded me of him.
He's supposed to, why do you think the French guys cut his chest like that?
Also, the little pouch Naru keeps the orange flower in is the same pouch Billy has in the movie, the one he fondles when spooked.
bastard b***h
don't redeem
Billy was the most based motherfricker of the group. He stood and faced certain death like a man.
Predator didn't need any sequels
Out of all the franchises born in the 80s and 90s I’d argue that the Predator franchise has the most potential. Prey is a step in the write direction but they need to do a better job with the execution.
47 Ronin vs. Predator
Fricking based. Spartans vs a predator would be kino as well
For me, its predator vs wakanda
I don't remember this scene being this bright
Is this a promotional image?
Are we getting predators wife any time soon?
Predator drops in Eastern Ukraine, it goes the the nearest city where it fights the AZOV battalion, slaughters them. Then the LPR/DNR forces show up and they start fighting, manages a few kills before it figures their weakness. Z force shows up about the stall of the battle, starts using White Phosproas to push the predator back and arty. The Predator gets pushed into the AZOV cum bunker basement laymbrith. Z force SSO units show up and theres a 25min long zero dark thirty style scene to end the movie in the Azovstal iron and steel works plant. Where the SSO units fight the Predator and the Azov battalion trapped inside with a 3 way battle.
kino
Would be kino if it had absolutely nothing to do with Ukraine. But a simultaneous three way battle between two opposing forces and a predator in a claustrophobic, enclosed area would be great
I had an idea for a Predator movie like, 20 years ago with some frontiersmen finding their peeps skinned alive and thinking it was the injuns and so the Pred gets to hunt in the middle of a conflict it unwittingly started.
Just the idea of a horror setting in an active warzone is cool. Having a slasher set in a war where the killer targets both sides seems awesome.
Unleash the Chechens!
Now this would be a true kino moment
That would also be the first spin-off where the Predator is clearly the good guy.
>Steven Seagal shows up
Prey sucked. Main character gets like 20 dudes killed including her brother. Acts like she’s some amazing warrior and it’s not their sacrifice being the reason she’s alive
Seen worst.
Just watched it, It's not as shit as AVP but pretty bland. It seemed like some writer had a half finished script about a stong warrior woman not needing no help and the studio just slapped the predator name onto it to stir interest. Basically the movie version of the Current Thing.
She gets one person killed - the French trapper leader. Everyone else willingly chose to fight the predator or died running from it after attempting to fight it. People did indeed sacrifice themselves for her, because she was their tribeswoman or sister, but no one died because of her actions except the Frenchman and the predator.
The Predator never targeted anyone from her tribe.
She just saw his tracks and decided she needed to hunt him for whatever reason. Then all the people from her tribe that died were because they went looking for her.
Wrong.
She left their "territory" chasing the pred, which made their tribe send out a party to bring her back. They all died because of her.
Post situations you'd like to see a predator in
for me, it'd be dropping into the WW1 Italian front and fighting the austro-hungarians and italians alike in the mountain peaks, eventually being killed by both sides teaming up
bonus points for predator gets injured by poison gas
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

Aside from your lame script ideas, you have a very childlike understanding of modern US - Vietnam relations.
Well in real life you replace the predator with an angry chink
Vietnam doesnt respect the US, or US GI's. People dont respect losers.
yeah it sucks how vietnam conquered and occupied america
You know what doesnt suck? Vietnam winning the war.
theyd just send down ben garrison to deal with it, the predator would be done for
Siege of Jerusalem (when the Christians were defending it).
Portland or Chapo (Seattle) during the summer of love
>Both sides teaming up
This is what I wanted from Prey, but they decided to go balls deep with the colonizers are le bad trope.
One set during operation Barbarossa in a isolated village during winter. The Predator kills from both sides until they decide to team up to kill him, but even then they can't stop backstabbing each other and work for the greater good except the protagonist. In the end the protagonist is left alone against the Predator and believes he killed him by crushing him under rubble or by an explosion but is attacked by another human, the predator reveals to still be alive, kills the other human and let the protagonist go since he was the only one he considered honorable.
The protagonist walks away disgusted at how war divided humans so much they couldn't even focus on surviving.
Based, subverting the classic two sides come together is a nice change.
Trench 11 is somewhat similar, set in WW1
okay so theres a predator ship and then he's
> I want to hunt the marvel universe
so he hunts starlord across the galaxy killing everykind of dirty disgusting alien that gets in his way of killing starlord
>gotta predator
he just guts rocket and then proceeds to massacre the entire ship
it's filmed like noir action film imagine the predator as agent 47/john wick
Why are the predators getting weaker as every movie comes out? The first one must have been special forces and the Prey one must have been army reserves. I expect the next one lose to a Soccer mom having a bad day at this rate.
kek they need to have the next movie where the predator wins in the end. have them be a little fearsome.
Im feeling generous, so Im gonna throw some studio intern poaching for ideas here a bone.

Make the entirely movie a silent film, no dialogue at all.
Yup. Also no "teaming up" with the locals. Or no stupid "Befriends space doggo".
pure kino. this must happen.
I think ideas they have by the thousands. The thing is the moment it arrives at some high profile exec/producer, it gets shred to pieces because it can only moves forward if respects a few "metrics' and "directives" that some statistics/screenings/reports shown that they must obey in order to guarantee some sort of audience approval.
Having said that, good idea.
I don't get the "hint hint" part?
She would be hunted by xenomorphs. It's year 2117, pay attention.
You fricked up. Should have wrote a script. That's a legit good idea and the AvP we should have gotten.
Would you watch Karen vs. Predator?
Wasn't the first one killing dudes in the jungle for several years.

Come on, we can agree that their shitty ore needed to be folded a lot (technique known even by Vikings) to get into a decent state. katana is not different than most cleavers you don't need to be disingenous when dismissing the "nipon strong steel folded 1000 times!" meme
Also real katanas (not mall ones) are brittle, they tend to snap not bend
those wrists buckled as much as the blade did
Make a predator movie on a military base or in a small town. I want to see a fricking slaughter before the prolific hunter with advanced tech from outer space gets killed by a stick with a pointy rock on the end of it.
worst idea in the thread. You are not allowed to post anymore.
If they make too many of these movies the Predator will become the Redditor for jobbing so much
>If they make too many of these movies the Predator will become the Redditor for jobbing so much
he already has become the redditor. he has done nothing but job time and time again.
The last movie was about predators harvesting autism because they are mad about global warming, and their goal with this predator was to bend gender norms (their stated goal, not mine) and have a strong powerful brave native american woman who don't need no man
Yeah, they better be worried about overdoing it

Predator wouldn't hunt Rambo because Rambo didn't want to hurt anyone.
It would be cool if they keep spawning these historic Predator movies as a "Prey" franchise.
Reboot the mainline Predator movies and have a modern, continuous story and then have "Prey" as lower budget, disconnected films.

Why is that? New to 40k btw
Because the franchise started out as a parody that tried its hardest to be as over the top as possible. It has DBZ-tier powerlevels and every important character is Goku.

That guy either has an amputated peg or a very big penis.

A Crysis action movie would be fun. Dunno why they never made one.

How was he so powerful?
>black female protagonist
>still an enjoyable movie
How did they do it?
The protagonist is consistently out of her depth and doesn't have any outlandish moments meant to prop up her identity. She could be replaced with any other race and still feel the same.
In short, she's a human first and black second, the old colorblind standard.
Because she's a normal person caught up in a fricked up situation and acts like that. She nearly breaks down crying when Scar catches up to her or right after killing the alien. Nowadays strong independent wahmen will never even consider to cry because they are strong and independent.
Because the movie was released before the internet brainwashed you into hating women and minorities.
I watched it after I was brainwashed, how come I didn't hate it?
Because the internet explicitly tells you, "Movies made before a certain date good, movies made after that date bad." I guarantee both of you have made such posts within the last 24 hours. Movies never changed, but you are told to view them differently and you do because you are sheep.
No you idiot, I liked the protag because she wasn't some superwoman but an average joe that mainly survived due to pure luck but still did the best she could.
>mainly survived due to pure luck
Imagine thinking this is good writing.
It's realistic. Bad writing would've been her fighting a predator hand to hand and winning.
Sounds like someone's lost the plot. Better pay better attention to tomorrow's Cinemaphile brainwashing session.
Oops, my mistake. Disingenuous arguments are part of the brainwashing.
Bot-tier reply.
>Movies never changed
That is very explicitly not true. The choices writers make when writing characters has completely changed, reflecting modern perspectives on race and the abolition of colorblindness and tokenism.
I re-watched it last year, fully expecting to now hate it, but still ended up liking the protag and the overall movie a lot.
ENTER
the movie is okay at best
everyone's so saturated in shit that they see it as the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but considering it anything more than slightly above average...dear God

This movie makes me think Predator has finally outshone the Alien franchise. Ridley Scott wienered up hard with his direction of Prometheus and Covenent, while Prey seems to have been received pretty decent which for a sci fi slasher, is solidm
Speaking of, where's the sequel to Covenant, the final movie in the Prometheus trilogy? There were 5 years between Prometheus and its sequel, and it's been 5 years since Covenant, yet there hasn't been a word about a new Alien movie.
The studio execs forced Scott to turn his Prometheus sequel into a more typical "Alien" film as well as slash his budget for the movie.
Unless Scott gets full creative control and a decent budget comparable to that of Prometheus, I would rather them let the franchise be kept of ice a bit. Which is sad because David is the most interesting character out of the entire Alien franchise, even more so than the Xenomorph itself.
No clue but honestly I felt Scott did a half assed job in Covenent as he felt fed up with the franchise. It would not surprise me if there was no third act and in a roundabout way, I would consider that a mercy to the franchise.
It wasn't 1/10 garbage but Ridley was phoning it in hard. That said I actually liked Prometheus.
jesus christ the pred was a fricking moron
eh
at least they tried
I always wanted a follow up that basically played out like Black Hawk Down with a Predator thrown in.
Anyone here like his design?
He looks black.
honestly I think they tried to make pred look more primitive? or animal? doesnt fit the other yautja, idk.
Dios mio
WORT WORT WORT
even Predators can get down syndrome it seems
Does he own shrimp boat?
It's racist to ask that
come home, yautja man
Ghost was considered a handsome predator due to his large frontal bone.
murtaugh was jelly for sure
I'll give you large frontal bone
I like all of them except bottom left, but maybe it's just bad lighting.
The one you pointed out is a sub species of predator. Probably the same race as the ugly one in prey.
It's not a horrible design by itself, I think I'm just spoiled by the immaculate original.
He's just really ugly.
I kind of like this design. Looks more feral, and kind of mutated. Like the Predator version of a Brazilian.
I liked this one from Predators. Neither are European though I'll tell you that much.
The super predator was called " Mr.Black" before he was named berserker.
Probably due to the mask. Having seen Prey, I think that's the closest to a black predator.
This one might've been indian due to the red skin.
Can't really go by skin color since individuals vary even in the same race. Facial anatomy wise Feral and Berserker are similar but Feral has more slanted eyes and a more rounded forehead with lower lips. They're probably from similar areas on their homeworld.
they're definitely not related
feral is the most different looking one we've seen so far
also didn't seem larger than a regular predator unlike those super predators
I meant as in more closely related than both are to the standard Yautja we see. The are seemingly going the route of predators being like humans with being many diverse populations even with different races. Not sure if I like but it's not stupid. Feral and berserker have similar foreheads but feral has a broader brow and higher upper mandible. Both have longer facers than the standard pred.
>The are seemingly going the route of predators being like humans with being many diverse populations even with different races.
Probably because you can sell toys as well if they all have the same face, which I guess is also why they introduced the different masks. Which granted, a lot of them look really fricking cool compared to the simple original.
The face masks are some of the coolest things predators have going for them.
Say what you want about Predators but it has my favourite masks in the franchise.
Berserker seems to be the result of roids aside from just being a different race. He was larger and always raging.
Feral is probably some tropical predator from Jamaica or whatever.
You just reminded me of the fact that the predator took the dropped idea of yautja using other species DNA to upgrade themselves. But instead of it being one outcast group of roid preds it tried saying that the entire race does it.
That just seems too far fetched. Tech is one thing, hell, even strategy and politics. I can see how they'd incorporate those. But DNA of a completely different species just leads to a genetic mess logistically.
Even if it could be done as a story, the way that movie approached it wasn't good.
What did you think of the autism thing that movie incorporated? The moment that popped up I felt my dislike of prometheus become somber to the fact ridley Scott atleast seems to respect Alien as a franchise.
It was just bizarre to me. I'm open minded to ideas but it seemed anticlimactic to use as a plot point in a predator movie.
And the cast and characters were random and forgettable. None of the other movies had this issue with the protagonists, not even Predators, which had more people in it, because everyone served some kind of purpose and stood out more or less.
I think Shane Black was just going for a glorified sci fi B-movie with a higher budget, but a lot of the decisions fell flat.
The Predator 2018 might've been inspired by Alien in terms of xenos incorporating humans to further their goals in some way. But it was done in the worst way possible.
The Concrete Jungle video game had a human who tried to splice himself with predator DNA or something like that and become one of them. That was done in a superior way.
Looks a lot better in this image. Shows just how much lighting can do.
>Weak head ridge
>protruding snout and jaw
>wide set eyes
It's unironically a yautja Black person
probably
His facial anatomy differs too much from the predators we've seen imo.
A sword like that is more well suited for dueling than a long claw (it's attached to the forearm like a claw) so the guy with the katana probably had the advantage. More moves to pull off with a two handed sword.
Male comanche
Female yautja
Yautja are a Jobber race. Xenomorph with weapons would be horrifying.
A single yautja can kill scores of xenos + a Queen so I'm not very sold on that.
But xenos have a superior way of reproducing and culling another population simultaneously.
Why are yautja so autistic with Predaliens? They are definitely way more dangerous as threats than human based xenos.
Honor code or some shit. I'm sure there's some Yauja somewhere that breed Predaliens specifically for hunting.
You think the new Xenoking will appear in future avp media? Seems way above most stuff yautja hunt.
Yautja hate predaliens because they view them as abominations. Yautja hate miscegenation which is why the “traditional” predators hate the superpredators who probably modify themselves with gene therapy or something, and the predalien is the ultimate union of themselves and their prey.
They also hate meaningless killing which is why they hate the blood libelists or whatever the black-armored ones with the xenomorph hounds are called
no because it would be a male in power and they can’t have that lol
>no because it would be a male in power and they can’t have that lol
It's bad that I can take this seriously.
What purpose does the Alien King fulfill?
the purpose of massive balls
Do whatever the queen asks. This picture but with aliens.
They're supposedly a late stage xeno that's like a xenomorph warlord. Like a queen built to lead praetorians to kill.
The queen aliens have such a cool fricking design
the Predator comics were way more epic than the gay alien comics
>Yautja
Begone, normie
Begone, normie
Frick, I loved playing as a yautja in AvP2, marine second because of the cool autogun and classic aliens rifle.
Most Alien/Predator/AvP comics are terrible, but if you want to read a good one, I can recommend Alien vs. Predator: Eternal. I enjoyed it a lot.
I want a history channel style documentary about Predator tribes. How they look and work.
this show is the closest you'll get to that
That sort of shit is best left to the comics.
I don't want it becoming mainstream and having the comfy hunter movies infected with culture discussions
>pred dad comes home in a suit & tie, sits down on a sofa and turns on the tv
The issue with predators, like with other similar sort of weirdly primitivistic space faring aliens is how one explains away their archaic behavior and social structures that still somehow allows them to have extremely advanced technology and space faring.
I mean, the concept of a predator scientist is fricking silly is it not? At least if we assume that the hunting shit is something more than literally a weekend hobby the predators do for fun and entertainment and their regular society is wholly different. The extended universe material has of course, made the hunting central part of their society which again, brings the whole clash between weird primitive tribe/clan shit vs having advanced tech.
Personally, I think that there are two decent ways of getting around this problem, first being the idea that predator culture descends from some sort of decadent or even semi collapsed star faring civilization that socially regressed into bunch of primitive savages while still clinging on to some technological shit, or that the predators stumbled upon technology of more advanced aliens/were uplifted in some way and just use this shit for their hunting that they don't necessarily understand properly. The later of these explanations is imo, weaker, because it doesn't get around explaining how they can make more of advanced tech they don't even understand. The former explanation could get away with them still having retained advanced tech trough safe guarded data banks, artisanship that passes over generations and looting the ruins of their more advanced age for parts and shit etc.
It's only weird from a human perspective. They're aliens, so a hunt can be a perfectly normal custom that, say, a poet or a scientist from Yautja Prime engages in.
That's true, but again, the extended universe shit made it seem like the entire predator society is solely decidated to hunting and tribal behavior which clashes with their access to shit like fricking space ships, that need massive industrial base to build and maintain.
Are there fricking predator engineers designing ships? Predator miners harvesting resources to build the ships? Or robots made by the predators to harvest shit?
It very well could be that predators live in what essentially is post scarcity society and to them the hunts are something they do to keep themselves entertained, but the thing is that the media we've seen of them never really showecased any of the non hunting related aspects of them, and what of their behavior we've seen have never really explained what their civilization as a whole is like.
Once you have a space ship and access to interstellar travel, you're bound to discover other tech on different planets and incorporate some of that into your own.
Considering they had wrist computers and what not, it's not crazy to imagine that there was also some automated industrialization on their planet that led to the production of various equipment and so on.
Aren't the Amengi enslaved to them currently if I'm understanding currently Canon. The Amengi are the ones who they learned the technology from so could they possibly use them to create stuff for them in some compacity?
Yeah, but that's just a starting point. Once you get access to other species you can study and incorporate all kinds of things from their planets.
That being said, I think it's implied that Predators already have pretty much everything they can ever need in terms of equipment and weaponry.
>The issue with predators, like with other similar sort of weirdly primitivistic space faring aliens is how one explains away their archaic behavior and social structures that still somehow allows them to have extremely advanced technology and space faring.
Do you have any ideal how popular hunting is among medical doctors and engineers? These days, more intelligent people hunt than stupid people. Notice how the average normie is entirely against the concept of hunting for sport.
>didn’t work but it killed everything
Literally every Alien story ever.
>bred by scientists to mogg the aliens while simultaneously being controllable. didn’t work but it killed everything
You're talking about the Rouge. There is now a Canon king xeno that's serves to protect the hive.
that looks radical. How big is he?
It's a he. And to answer your question: he's about as big as a Xeno Queen.
5'9
Pffft I could take him 1v1
Probably one of my favorite new additions to the xeno catalog.
>canon due to a board game and one toy
lol cool I guess
if you take the Wolf predator and the Killer tribe as examples, their race seems to have way more advanced technology than they would let anyone, even their own people, be aware of.
It’s also possible that certain tribes develop technology on their own, or there is a significant portion of their race that is entirely nomadic, and doesn’t have the same technology as other parts.
