[@Luke.S2099]

I would love to see a Predator movie like this, where it actually focuses on the Yautja, and not the human characters.

[@jayjazzed]

Never thought of that...good call that would be awesome 😎

[@privaterose5021]

@Harvey Dustin They do? I thought subtitles were normal. That or maybe I'm just weird and enjoy foreign films.

[@kyndjal3118]

@Harvey Dustin you don't need though. body language+a good narrator could do wonders for a predator-only film

[@RakaiThwei]

The first Predator that showed me that even Yautja could be heroes. He is the IDEAL Predator. Strength, Speed, Stamina, and Skill... He was like the Captain America of Predators. To me, he is what every Predator should be like...

[@RakaiThwei]

Read the actual story he was featured in. He helped save Prosperity Wells from both the Xenomorph and the renegade members of his clan. He died doing something heroic.

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

Indeed he did. Dachande was a true warrior...even a hero.

[@RakaiThwei]

@Jimmy De'Souza He didn't even know that humans were living on Ryushi. He also didn't even know that they were similar to one another until he and Noguchi met one another. Hell, his mind didn't start changing until Meriem Revna saved his life. So, the Xenomorph infestation wasn't even entirely intentional. That captured Queen made sure a Royal egg survive to start a new hive. No way he knew about humans living on Ryushi or the captive Queen screwing things up.

[@RakaiThwei]

@Jimmy De'Souza You're comparing puppies to Xenomorphs? You're talking about a relatively innocent and harmless animal such as a puppy, to an alien life on that is so hostile, that it's willing to kill anything and everything that isn't similar to itself. Oh yes, because Xenomorphs are so harmless. Get out of here.

[@thesentinel5523]

I hope NECA makes a figure of him.

[@BOTCHED]

I will say this for the rest of my life, if only they'd adapt this comic/novel into a real AvP movie. It would be glorious. Dachande deserves the big screen treatment.

[@AlienTheory]

Maybe someday

[@ministryofwrath]

agreed, or a game where you play his flashbacks and as him in the events of avp, and then you can play as machiko after he's gone. it would be a perfect AVP game story.

[@seand.g423]

It would be less than an absolute disgrace in this age. You all know this to be true.

[@ministryofwrath]

@@joshrobbinsditto3055 predator was a cringe worthy mistake of trying to emulate avengers in the predator universe. Aliens and predator should stay in tune with the comics and the movies, it's what the fans want. they need to stop trying to sell what is to the masses. Disney owns fox now, if they want predators to be a avenger type thing, they should just add predators to the next avenger movie. At this point... I'd be ok with it, it can't be worse than predator.

[@Jurchin7]

I don’t think there’s a director alive that could capture that comic book effectively. The original AVP series is what got me into comics when I was a kid and I’m perfectly fine keeping that deep in nostalgia rather then my favorite AVP story being butchered by a garbage director.

[@farrdawgjoker7087]

I love these long form stories that get deeper into the Predator culture. The Xenomorphs being dropped off on planets like kids on a playdate then the pic near the end looked like a dad driving with the kids in a minivan with over the shoulder straps like a car seat. Lol

[@lukewestwest]

“Move well or die. There was no room for error in the hunt.” & “They would learn Just as he had learned, They were not the Gods gift to the universe. He would see to it, Or he would see them dead. Either way was the path.” I have listened to this at least 40/50 times, and still come back for this knowledge. For me this is the best example of Yautja Honor and Discipline.

[@levithomas2700]

Listening to the yautja language, it sounds like the Navajo language. Very curious to know where the inspiration for the language came from.

[@scrappydoo7887]

Yes, I only really have films like windtalkers as reference but the phonetics and intonations seem to be very similar

[@AvpCentral]

One of the most badass hunters

Your voice is so lovely and eloquent, I listen to it far into the night. It helps that you also are narrating something I absolutely love in the artistic aspect. Please never stop, you are amazing!

[@Protonoto1]

Looking forward to the next one.

[@superzilla784]

This would actually make a good Predator movie. it doesn't even need dialog. it would just a Predator on tour around the galaxy, hunting dangerous monsters, teaching young bloods how to survive, and himself also surviving on very dangerous worlds only experienced hunters are allowed. I'd watch that

[@kingofnothing2260]

I love their culture. Honor before self

Any more and there will be too few, too soon. Please keep up the good work! I will be delving deeper into your channel to find a monetary means of supporting your craft come pay day. You can't run on breadcrumbs.

[@BjornThorvald]

This needs to be the focus of the next inevitable Predator movie. The universe is only what it is because of the Yautja, it only makes sense to show this on the big screen.

[@AurelionTheStoic]

This episode humanized the yaujta species. This makes them seen not as brutal hunters and killers but as an empathetic species. Almost human. I love it, your narration skills make this video just bliss.

[@xivliai975]

Excellent story and use of the comics. The only guff I have is that it was actually Top-knot whom he was fighting in those scenes. They were fighting for the right to lead a hunt. But hell only old schoolers would know that detail Good Job bro!!!

[@bre1408]

ArgonianAccount top knot is not introduced into the stories until after this series. And michiko has to fight shorty for honor and right to hunt

[@antonycoupe4225]

I seem to remember they changed the story from the graphic novel in the book. He definitely fought topknot in the graphic novel for the rite to Ryushi. He fought Tichinde in the book. ( Ended up killing him too after Tichinde went rouge!)

I have read dozens and dozens of PREDATOR comics, this is the first time I could read this many sentences in their language! Do we know if the YAUTJA phrases are inspired by human languages or dialects.

[@elliepredator_fan1111]

Yes I think so. There was another comment saying it sounded similar to the Navajo language to him. In my opinion it does sound native but maybe not Navajo. The only Navajo word I know is Bilagaama, which means white people 😆
