The Entire Predator Story Finally Explained (2024 Update)

The timeline of the "Predator" universe is messier than the remains of a Yautja hunt. So strap in, because we're going through the whole convoluted story, from the golden age of piracy to the Badlands of the future.

What would you like to see next from the "Predator" universe?

[@bigdaddy911kev]

A movie from the Predators pov. Just like the Transformers franchise we don't care about the humans anymore. Just focus on the Predator homeworld.

[@kuveshgovender3115]

Predators getting involved in a war..maybe WW2 or Vietnam would be cool. Theres a fan film floating around with a similar story that plays a lot of homage to the original movie

[@StevenChan-26Bleezy-Incendiary]

The honor code they live by & Next time make a video without all the annoying rave music in the background.

[@malinchoneska8554]

Ancient China or Japan with Samurai and ninjas

[@Djcash]

I would like to see one where a young yoauscha has to prove himself on their planets as the ultimate trophy hunter and rising up the ranks. Also to see what environment they live in and how their clans thrive in their homeland.

[@davidnoguera1470]

The 1987 Swartzeneger is the best of them all

I saw the first one in theaters and still love it. They took the greatest monster design of the old universal films (the creature from the black lagoon) and does an amazing modern update of the creature design. It’s the first and a classic. That being said the second is just a good. Just different.

[@Gor85]

It's awesome 😀

[@recodatruth8860]

That's purely an opinion

[@user-kd4oo3xq3l]

The 2010 Predators is actually a favorite of mine

[@rel8edgamerz445]

My favorite one it was great

[@djfirestormx]

its the most underrated. but its good because it stays the most cannon. sometimes these "new ideas" stuff just complicats fluidity more. just continue the stories FFS. The Predator is a good start for blending with Predators, and Prey is a good start for Predator history and showing the different Clans and hybrids. They should be making both back to back.

[@alexshank1414]

As agent Peter Keyes said in Predator 2 about past Yautja encounters “Iwo Jima, Cambodia, Beirut. Drawn by heat and conflict.” Those are some potential future films the Predator series could head.

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Prey was soooooo much better than I thought it would be. 2nd best movie of the franchise by far! The original will always be #1

[@CheeksMcGillicutty]

The Kurosawa style samurai fight scene from Predators though..... chefs kiss

[@rotazd]

Lol, that was a dumb cringe scene. Pred moves like a fat wrestler and the convenience of the whole scene taking place in a field of grass when the movie takes place in an alien jungle.

[@CheeksMcGillicutty]

​@rotazd nothing will be more cringe than your reply😂

[@czaetc.8743]

I wanna see Predator in feudal Japan, Predator VS Vikings, Predator/Jurassic World, Predator VS Barbie, Predator teams up with The Expendables, Predator goes to Hell and John Wick 5: The Predator next.

[@Lordzilla]

No

[@redleg1971]

There are a few different eras that I would love to see a Predator movie set. First, around 1600 in feudal Japan taking on samurai and ninjas. Second, in Scandinavia around the year 900 taking on Vikings. Third, during World War II in either Europe during the Battle of the Bulge, or in the Pacific during the invasion of Iwo Jima.

[@OGRio-de4gn]

Riiight

[@JamesDeanStudiesLanguage]

Through Ancient Greece in their. Predator versus a Spartan.

[@Lordzilla]

Bulge 🤨

[@user-be5wl4wy7d]

Eastern front stalingrad

[@keishidojo64]

I feel most of those would be a rough rehash of PREY. Samurai/Ninja: swords and such vs tech, Vikings: axes, swords and shields vs tech, now WWII would be guns, but that would be like 1 & 2.

[@lucaskobain]

We can argue on which movies or comics are canon, but hopefully there is no discussion on the coexistence of the Alien and Predator franchises in the same universe. I think they fit rather nicely. And Prey was awesome, certainly the second best since 1987's.

[@mattmmilli8287]

AVP is a terrible guilty pleasure kinda movie ^^

[@starscreamthecruel8026]

Nice to have the pieces of the story in order finally

[@leoparman7933]

also aliens vs predator multiplayer LAN GAMES!! those days were fun!!!!

[@martymar9311]

Thanks for this info 👽

[@Gor85]

So we have Predator,Predator 2,Predator 2018,Predator.And they are distinctive. In behaviour,skills,personality.Like people living in different towns or cities.Or village and city. You are right it's convulded😀But it's understandable.Very interesting timeline. I think pirate story is cannon. It's not bad we get more prequels and sequels.Could be good. Great video

[@elizae2528]

I LOVE 1987, 1990's and 2004 Predator!

[@BarnStangz]

Can't wait to see more out of the franchise. There is honestly a LOT more that they can do. I'd personally like to know more about their home world. And sort of like the Alien films, true fans would always like to know more about the history of things.

[@alexromero2632]

They should make a movie that takes place on the predator planet, and explore there culture and traditions more.

[@brokensystembrokentrust5047]

Prey and Predator (2018) are NOT Canon!

[@RS8XB]

10:20 Don't forget Outland with Sean Connery in this universe. Con-AM

[@cwr8618]

AVP was friggen awesome. Loved that one

[@Graves-81_69]

I’m not a fan of what was done with the Raefeal Adolini character in Prey. I don’t understand why they included that subplot when the comic book story is way better in every way

[@Lordzilla]

True

[@gilbertgottfried1549]

"Predators" is set in universe in 2024. "Predator: Hunting Grounds" is set in 2025 and features a character from "predators" returning to earth one year after they disappeared in "Predators"

[@BruceVial]

Oscar winner to predators, nice

[@asandersonsrc]

Sounds great

[@naryanr]

When a timeline jumps all over the place like that, it means there isn't a timeline. At least not one that the creators care about. Then fans just scramble to messily fill in all the gaping holes and BS. Not worth even thinking about honestly.

[@bigdaddy911kev]

Don't forget about the action figures if you want to see all of the variant types and styles of Predators and Aliens.

[@garrymclaughlan6433]

The predator was the biggest black eye on the franchise.

[@davidlmartin2080]

the comics are all really good and varied

[@SolarDNA]

Do a video on how Alien, Predator, Blade Runner, Soldier (1998) and Total Recall take place all in the same shared continuity.

[@andreww1225]

Hope they try making a Wild West version

[@sladeoriginal]

I like the AVP. Screw cannon, its an amazing concept. Run with it.

[@csababarath2784]

And then consider this: Predators are hunting Xenomorphs. They have a Xeno skull in P2. While in the Alien Prometheus and Covenant it is made clear that the Xenos were made far in the future by David 8. There should be a time travel done by the Yautja, bringing back the Xenos into past for hunting purposes. Also there may be some admiration for the Humankind being able to create something which is able to create something like Xenomorph. So them are following us due to this with curiosity..... There is a lot of material in these two franchises.

[@adamg4754]

Even though some of the movies are not the best i still like them all as a Predator Fan 💯

[@Simonds007]

I wish the Predator and Alien franchise would adapt the stories in Dark Horse comics. Those were amazing.

[@BeeferSutherland]

Wanna do things that never been done before?...OK......How about a movie where the Predator actually wins at the end.....That'd be cool to see.

[@Fettman89]

The thumbnail picture looks like an action figure lol, I can only assume that's from the beloved entry and fan favorite, The Predator? lol

[@bardyx16omega11]

A feudal japan or viking era predator film would be nice tbh

[@ehyojono]

After the events of LA in 1997. That is when the cannon stops. Like the Alien series the first two films stick and after they stunk. Prey is the only exception in a following film in its series.

[@Mr.0ne]

They should do the Predator 3 Sparks story

[@mohammedalbaker8963]

Yauothcha?????

[@agfw73]

Yeah, I though it was pronounced Yowcha

[@Lordzilla]

people just don't know how to say it

[@BMDowell]

I always consider AvP to be a different separate universe to the canon series. It helps make up for all the glaring continuity issues. Prey however I think was the worst in the series. Completely unbelievable and its predator was designed by someone who apparently never watched the original movies. I also can't fathom why they haven't been able to make the predator's face look as good as the first. It was the only one that DIDN'T look like it was made of latex.

[@215ILLicit]

How about a movie with just Predators that defend thier colony over run with Xenomorphs? Minimal dialogue just killing. It’s been done successfully before.

[@roll-tee7319]

Predator vs riddick that’s the film I want to see

[@jameschastain1229]

[@fukyuyuetoob7663]

Predator 2, T -Rex Skull was on the ship.

[@RS8XB]

12:30 the end of the movie was wrapped up so fast/terribly it doomed any future film in this timeline. It was horrible and the CGI made the wolves from The Day After Tomorrow look real.

[@brianhays1797]

Alien vs Predator the first comic was the best. Broken Tusk was awesome!

[@Andersj13]

It’s pounced “Yowcha” I believe.

[@JayyJay92]

You got this all wrong the predator in 2018 is a renegade predator I believe and the one on from 2010 is also a predator who doesn’t follow the code. And kills anything . This is straight up false info.

[@Jason-ew1cb]

I think predator fell victim to its own cool design. The first film was great bc theres more suspense in what's unseen than what's seen. Ppl wanted more of that cool ass monster (myself included lol) but that created the same franchise issues that occurred in Jaws or hellraiser

[@edwardteach3080]

Super twist. Predators started out as humans that played with genetic mutations to survive space travel.

[@billriddle9215]

Pretty lame.

[@derekberry6122]

You guys only touched upon one important thing, that the yautjas were slaves. If you actually look into the action figures bios, Yautja prime was the one who led an uprising over their overlords and even took one of the overlords heads and made a mask out of it. If you look at them mask / head it was a concept of the first predator that was going to be played by John Claude Van Damme. Since then many of the yautja people genetically engineered themselves to become better hunters. But I believe that some of the yautja were actually trying to keep their race pure and natural in honor of the yautja prime. This might have been the catalyst for the blood feud between different tribes. The different breeds of the yautja seen in films were stated in the productions. The berserker predators in the movie predators ware stated to be like from a desert type climate. If we look at each of the printer species the smaller ones might have been for jungle type atmosphere, while the larger ones are from more open spaced regions. It is kind of hard to tell if any of the yautja species can understand any of the earth languages. I would think that I would like to see a movie where at least one of them could speak a language fluidly. Even sign languages could be a plus. In regards of the movie The predator, it was supposed to have more predators in the film. If you look at neca's release of the figures, they were supposed to be two emissary predators wearing Earth military armor with some of that technology. It was also supposed to be multiple hybrid predators that both the emissary predators and the crazy escapees was supposed to be mowing down. Maybe they were planning to have some of the yautja be able to speak English or have a device that could translate for them. A lot of the materials in the comic books of redcon but at least they actually able to give us a glimpse of the cultures of the yautja species. In a couple of them that even featured females yautja well one of them looks more male but is larger than males. What do you think that they should do for a next installment of the predator franchise? With marvel and 20th century Fox being owned by Disney, they are able to do crossovers now. Where they have already done a wolverine versus predator comic book line. Do you think they will continue with that, where they could have the avengers fight off several predators or even have the predators hunting the skrulls or Kree? What if a symbiote bonds with a yautja and starts hunting other characters?

[@Lordzilla]

That's the planets name you got everything wrong it was the Alpha predator not prime Predator you watching too much transformers

[@kingginger3335]

I'm pretty sure you're pronouncing Yautja wrong. I've always heard it pronounced as Yowt-ja.
