Why Prey is the PERFECT Predator Movie | Video Essay

[@danbalares4818]

I believe the director said "It was THIS Predator's first time on Earth", not THE Predators. Correct me if I'm wrong but having a Plasmacaster means you've already passed the Blooding to be a Blooded (adult in human terms). Either you do the hunting ritual here on Earth or in other planets which are hunting grounds. Since Feral doesn't have his Plasmacaster, it means he's under the Blooding hence he was dropped off and they descend when he died.

[@fulcrumvanitas5078]

That's what I was thinking too

[@NoOneImportant233]

@@osmanerdogdu7868 you can actually take the comics for a reference to it, they explain much more on how the first Predator arrived to earth and what was his first arrival like, and this movie in particular played a lot with what was considered canon in the comic's cause they have already explained the backstory of the Predator 2 movie's gun, and for the gun to appear here just changes a lot, and I mean A LOT of things, I'd much more like to think of this movie as a separate timeline from the original franchise, cause comic wise, even the AVP event's are canon to the series as they already have been shown multiple times through them

Taabe's death and the aftereffects hit really hard. By all accounts, he died a noble & heroic death worthy of every title he carried. He got put down but kept fighting, like a warrior. He bought enough time for his sister to get away, like a big brother. He sacrificed himself for a member of his tribe, like a chief. But none of that takes away the pain & guilt Naru feels. For all her drive to be recognized as a warrior; she froze, she hesitated, and ultimately she fled as her brother was carved into a trophy. She blames herself, and she's not entirely wrong for doing so. But *man* does it set us up for a brilliant redemption!

[@thegrimcritic5494]

Another comment in here suggested that this isn’t the first time the Yautja have hunted on Earth, but merely that this is the first hunt for the Predator IN THIS MOVIE, and I think that theory has a lot going for it. When I first watched Prey, I was honestly surprised that so many attacks on it were successful; and not even by humans, but by animals like the wolf and bear which I figured the Predator should have enough experience to dodge and kill with ease. That was when it hit me; this Yautja ISN’T experienced. It’s strong, intuitive, and deadly, yes, but it behaved as if dropped onto Earth with little to no understanding of terrestrial life forms. Regardless if it was dropped onto Earth blind as a means of accepting it as a challenge or if it was done as a mandate by his elders, the outcome remains the same. This film isn’t just about Naru going through her Rite of Passage. It’s about her facing off against a Predator embarking on a Ritual Hunt of its own.

[@leonardobraynen1524]

The absolute best explanation of this movie. Loved this movie and plan on watching again. Not as the original, but best sequels since even tho its a prequel. But it stands alone imo.

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

It's not a theory, the director confirmed it in an interview.

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

That was my take away too...there's a symmetry between the young hunter Yautja out to prove itself with it's first big hunt, and Naru being in a similar situation with her hunt.

It is the perfect mirror image of the main protagonist Naru. Both looking to become warriors in Thier tribe. One succeeded and one failed. Amazing movie

I had never watched any Predator films until recently, but I was curious about this one, I watched the original one to have something to compare it to and what really caught my atention was that in the final showdown Arnold defeats the predator using traps made of stones, ropes and wood, and yet people were complaining about naru defeating it with much less fire power when in the original it was more a battle of strategies than a raw strength encounter

[@KabbalahSherry]

That's because she's a female. 🙄 So people were going to immediately call it "woke propaganda" from the get-go.

I like that the difference between the OG Predator and Prey is also one of the things that was the same: initial confidence. In the OG Predator they were initially confident because they were macho marines and nothing was more dangerous than they were. In Prey the hunters are confident because they KNOW that there are animals more dangerous than they are, but they're used to dealing with them. I thought that was a fun aspect that was simultaneously the same and different.

[@ChrisGuerra31]

I thought the whole cougar part was completely botched. Why did they go in without locating and tracking it first? I wish that whole arc was just removed, and then we wouldn't have to see that horrendous cgi cougar. It didn't even have the white marks on its face. Also, why is Naru hiding in a tree from a cougar, but then for some reason didn't think of avoiding a bear that way. A bear that size can't climb very well or very high. She had a much better chance of survival than trying to run and just hoping there's a hiding spot nearby. I wholeheartedly disagree that she's smart and capable. All of the other braves are written to be careless and skeptical of her warnings. When your role in the tribe is to investigate, anticipate, and eliminate threats, why not listen to someone who reported seeing something threatening? These are people who believed that animals actually had magic powers. I just feel like their culture and beliefs were generalized for the sake of the plot and to make Naru look like the poor eyewitness that nobody else believes.

The fact that the Predator was dropped off by a ship means that there are other Predators still in orbit throughout the duration of these events. They would obviously return once they lost contact with the Predator which would explain how they eventually ended up with the exact pistol from Predator 2. I would be happy with a direct sequel to this movie but it is an event that doesn't actually need to be told. I would rather see the Predator in other older timelines with the Samurai , Spartans or even Vikings. The success of this movie could result in a budget to make anything possible. Prey proves that the once great franchises can be resurrected if placed in the right hands.

I like the different timeline ideas, but this movie made it seem like this was the first time the Predators were on Earth. Which would mean any sequel timeline would have to happen after this encounter.

Humanizing the predator is what got us the shitty "autism is the next step in evolution" predator movie. It was an alien hunter with a parallel goal to Nayu. It was a badass, but it was an alien monster hell bent on claiming as many trophies as possible to prove it's worth as a hunter.

It's even a touch inexperienced at first when fighting off the wild life, much like Nayu was starting off her ritual. It's not the Predator making autism a superpower, but still, it makes you stop and realize, "yeah, this is just what it's race does."

Agree the movie is different and engaging, but the ending was not good at all, few points: 1 - So is establish the Predator is strong and can knockout a bear, but when he smashes the girl to the ground full force, she stands up like nothing happened, even though previously she lost conscience for hours when she fall from the tree. 2 - She wraps the rope axe and then pulls the predator towards so he fell on the muddy waters. That would require her to be really strong opposite of what the movie premise is that is not brute strength but ability that counts. 3- The idea the mask targeting still active after being removed is silly. Worse to imply the Predator does not know how his own weapon works. Or even if you concede is blind by fury that the weapon does not have a feedback/warning about the auto targeting being active? Moreover that he didn't shot in a rush.. it took his time to AIM and shoot. 4 - Then she had to have the best epiphany about how to place the mask to target the Predator head including his position distance and height. Btw the lasers were off when she placed the mask.

so them using primitive weapons to slice and dice the pred like its flesh was made from butter, clearly showing it could be killed with just a few more swings from primitive tools made u think they would kill it some other way? if the cgi department had no forgot the large amounts of blood from its wounds or that he would have picked up on its sound/movement naturally anyways... hell even pred 1 dudes did and billy did early on as well... yet the best hunter... blind, deaf and dumb stands their like a moron after owning the predator... why? so a moronic / inept girl can be the best and smartest fighter thats defeat it... well give her a day so star wars magic can do it thing first. well true it was obvious what was intended from the start, but utterly pointless when the pred was clearly so weak to injury from primitive tools and didnt know how its own tech worked and had the intelligence comparable to ape man millions of years ago and acted much the same... not as pred lore dictates they should act, behave, look or how their tech actually functions, basically they changed how the preds thermal vision works eg its not thermal vision anymore(though they do have several vision modes, including sound a motion, but the movie made it clear its thermal, yet did not apply it as thermal) and also changed how human biology works, so no longer accurate to real work humans or pred lore eg the girl would have been dead in order to reduce her thermal signature to the point it could not be detected anymore... all in order to make the ending happen with a weak girl, with no brains or real fighting ability explained made very evident in her frequent attempts of suicide and being generally dumb as all hell and generally inept at everything... how she was allowed to stay in the tribe or survived child hood being so stupid and suicidal is not explained.

[@pedroportillo1585]

Prey is genius because the Predator and Naru’s stories are parallel to each other. Both are trying to prove something, not just to themselves, but also to their respective tribes. For any of us that follow Predator Lore we know that they are accepted into what is equivalent to a tribe only if they hunt a worthy warrior. The bear fight shows how the Predator, even though he has strength and tech on his side, is out of his element. The bear actually overpowers the Predator and there is even a moment where the bear stands on top of the Predator with the green glowing blood running through its mouth. The only reason the Predator is able to kill the bear is because the bear turns its back and gets cocky. Naru exploits the Predator being out of its element by studying it. It learn it patterns, how it uses its weapon, and how to use her skills as a hunter and gatherer to outsmart the Predator. It’s actually not such a far fetched idea that Naru could kill the Predator this way because that’s how Dutch did it in the original movie. When the Predator takes off all his weapons and fights Dutch, Dutch gets brutalized by the Predator. Only by outsmarting it does the Dutch kill the Predator. Naru does the same thing, but in her own way. But the fact that they are both after same thing shows the them of commonality even with rivals.

The thing most people tend to forget about Predators is that 90% of the time they get killed by melee weapons. Guns literally just piss them off. Naru was clever for using its own tech against it. Love that sequence when it comes barreling into the tree, gets it's wristblade stuck, then cuts off its own arm with the shield! We saw only minutes earlier how sharp that thing is; it can cut through stone without friction! No flesh & bone is gonna stand up to that. And, of course, setting it up for a headshot from its own crossbow bolts. Ugly as this Pred's face was, I love that expression it makes when it turns to see its own mask staring at it.

[@aster1760]

@@christopherberg2689 ehhhhhh sortta. the blooding isnt a special forces training thing, its a rite of passage for a predator thats becoming an adult, the Feral Predator given its gear and visual level of knowledge on the hunt (its obviously not fully in its depth on earth) suggests that the Feral is currently doing his blooding ritual on earth. this would mean hes far FAR less capable than any predator weve really been shown so far and it shows, the Feral shows to be a little over zealous when it comes to jumping in on a fight, and on more than one occasion walks right into a trap a typical blooded Yautja would have already boobytrapped and counter ambushed. it makes more than enough sense a far more experienced hunter could take him down by out smarting him, even though they are VASTLY outmatched in every single physical attribute possible.

Greyback (Elder at the end of Predator 2) fought with Raphael Andolini against the latter's mutinous crew a year before the events in Prey and gifted him a pistol with his name on it. The comic has been slightly retconned with Raphael just a companion of the French settlers while Naru was the one in possession of the pistol at the end of the movie, which means in Prey 2 she and the Comanche might be attacked by Pirates, who take her away on their ship. If they follow the plot of the comic, then it will be Naru not Raphael who teams up with Greyback against the Pirates, and it will also explain how Greyback earned that Pistol he would centuries later hand over to Mike Harrigan for defeating City Hunter. So we might finally get a Predator vs Pirates movie lol. BTW, Aliens vs Predator is still very much canon in the Xenoverse, so the Yautja have been hunting on Earth for at-least several thousands of years.

Prey is a very close 2nd to the OG Predator for me. It's like 1A and 1B. I loved how the French trappers unload their muskets at this predator, to no effect, and then scramble to reload. The predator just stands there like "It's cool, I'll wait." My theory about the pistol is that some predators come back, sh1t goes down, and Naruu gives Greyback the pistol as a trophy for helping *her*. It becomes tradition that the pistol is passed on to a worthy ally.

There's SO many amazing subtle details in this movie. He doesn't just stand there and wait; he thinks they'll continue firing, but at that moment the predator realizes that their weapons can only shoot one bullet at a time.

Wrong. This is a Predator movie with a completely unbelievable lead character. This is due to what I call The Disney Star Wars REY character effect. The other Native American characters might as well have been snapping their fingers, saying "You go Girl" ..."You got this". Sure, it follows a Predator in a different timeline, has some Easter eggs to the big 3 Predator films, however, no matter how bad ass a certain character is, a Predator can kill them. Not in this movie, I mean, the lead character is too perfect in her fighting ability. I mean, she fought 5 or 6 of her tribe's warriors and never even got punched or struck. It is irresponsible and it takes people out of the film if their lead characters are Super People.

[@darrelltoth7527]

Its a perfect movie for this Superhero generation, I like how they seamlessly integrated a predator movie and a superhero movie together but I'm unsure if I discovered all Naru's powers; here are the ones I found - SUPER STRENGTH - (1) pulled a 500 pound predator off his feet with a rope, (2) while the predator was on top of her she pulled herself and the 500 pound predator 2 feet to get her head between the 2 rocks. (3) she was also able to rip his mandible off with ease and stab him with it and cut him to pieces with a rock axe both doing more damage than a point blank gunshot to the head. IMPENETRABLE SKIN - he hit her directly in the face with the razor shield that he cut through a guy’s spine and a tree at the same time with and there was no mark on her. INSTANT HEALING - he lifted her overhead (12 feet high?) and slammed her on the ground and didn't even knock the wind out of her. SUPER REFLEXES - (1) she invented the rock axe Yo-Yo thing that no mortal could possibly use and wielded it expertly right from the start (2) she dipped and dodged the predator’s attacks numerous times with ease even though it one hit killed most everyone else. Maybe INVISIBILITY? He never seemed to be able to see her when she was attacking. Maybe MIND CONTROL? - The predator stared at his own mask pointing a laser at his head for 5 seconds and didn't even try to move.

‘But there’s no way a 125 lb woman can take on a Predator. She’s not physically strong enough to fight one.’ That’s the whole point of the ‘Predator’ series. They stacked the original with the likes of Schwarzenegger, Weathers, Ventura, and Duke to exert pure brute force, and then terrify the audience when this brute force gets slaughtered by the Predator. That’s why the Predator beats the crap out of a bear in this movie. If a character fights a predator with pure strength, that character WILL die! It’s only when a protagonist gets crafty, resourceful, and gutsy with it’s strategy that they defeat the Predator. And Naru the tracker exemplifies those qualities in spades!

[@Callsign-Cobra]

While I think the OG Predator is still the best, I think Prey definitely takes it as the perfect sequel taking what made Predator great and giving it a little twist to keep it familiar but fresh, I didn't think about the characters too much as to me I always saw them as rather one dimensional same as the OG cast just with enough depth to make them interesting. Either way MINOR SPOILERS: The part where Taabe says "If it bleeds, we can kill it" was one of the best parts like I freaked out saying "HE SAID IT, HE SAID THE THING" it was just a massive stroke of nostalgia from the OG one. definitely earned a solid 7-8/10 in my book

[@jacobd1984]

Overall, this was a pretty solid Predator movie, definitely one of the better ones (though admittedly that's not the highest bar to clear). My one real complaint is that Naru's plot armor got excessive in the final fight. I expect some level of plot armor for a protagonist fighting a Predator, but parts of that fight were hard to swallow (for instance, her getting choke-slammed and recovering fast enough to keep going).

[@CargoShorts7]

Finally saw this for the first time after 2 years and found this movie to be pretty good overall, honestly the best one since the first, but I do have a couple minor gripes. I didn't really like the Predator's CGI face when his mask came off. Just looked more "weird" than an already weird looking alien creature lol. I also thought there were some power scaling issues and inconsistencies for the Predator itself too. For example, I feel like seeing the predator go from beating the shit out of a grizzly bear to getting the shit beaten out of him by a teenage girl kinda breaks the power scaling. Or how it walked into the bear trap once, or how a wolf managed to injure it, or when it didn't see the main girl. I don't know, maybe this is a younger, more inexperienced Predator. That would be the only theory that I could see for explaining why he was mega bad ass in some scenes, but then a little more feable and weak in others.

The original Predator and Predators 2010 had you constantly on edge and wondering what would happen next, this movie was 100% predictable, enjoyable, but predictable.

I really enjoyed it, there's something slightly off with the CGI I can't put my finger on but I'm willing to let that go but I do think you saw to much of the Predator un-cloaked in broad daylight, it's like seeing Batman on the beach, it's just not right

[@andyArt5]

Yeah. The practical shots are amazing. It’s beautifully filmed and then the cgi is kinda shitty. I’m not entirely sure how cgi vs practical budgets differ. But a few really good close up models has to be cheaper than a ton of out of focus “monster” looks.

[@my-back-yard]

The bear especially. Lol

[@nota444tm2]

To be fair... Everyone knows what a predator looks like. And in this movie there was not as much hiding spaces like in the original. It was far more open.

[@JINGWA64]

Prey is a movie written by folks after a 5min google search and it shows, the predator does not look accurate to it species, nor is it biologically or technologically accurate, it has flesh weaker then a humans unlike the original predator(species) that only suffered minor flesh wounds to modern military weapons with AP ammo and even in number 2 the shotgun slugs point blank to he chest could only nock it over, failed to penetrate through something they can do very easily through human/animal flesh and bone...telling us the predators flesh is extremely tuff which is why the main character needed the preds weapon to actually kill it and arnie technically didnt kill it either, it killed itself and it took something that would crush a human to pulp to actually turn the fight, yet even then the pred had enough strength to easily push that mass of it body. yet we have stoneage tools, tearing this new predators flesh and going through its body like its paper.... seriously? the only weapons which seem to follow actual logic are the hunters guns, which basically seem incapable of doing much harm... which just makes it seem even more comedic when a primitive weapons slice and dice so easily as this defies all real world logic as well as predator movie logic. clearly not the same species, its flesh is weaker then a humans, why they would even need the predators weapons to kill it, is not known? when its flesh is so weak, so much weaker then a humans, yet vs modern traps weapons it seems far more damage resistant, are hatchets its magical weakness>? perhaps in the next predator movie all the soldiers should be given primitive hatchets? yet somehow despite its flesh being so weak... its strong enough to bench press a bear... clearly logic changes according the scene and bends to the needs of the plot, just like the face mask coming of when its needed, despite already been shown to be basically immune to this happening prior, again logic is broken to force the inevitable end. it becomes a joke by the end of the movie as its clear enough arrows and hatchets would easily have put it down, its not particularly very intelligent, sub-human infact, infact most animals could be considered more intelligent then this predator and its fighting prowess is clearly absent after taking a few injuries / though also takes a back seat when needed as well and basically show the pred is useless and dumb without its technology and very much still dumb with it... infact without technology it wouldnt even have survived the first arc the movie, as its body is far to prone primitive injuries and it lacks basic human intelligence in order to survive on its own strength... again clearly not the same species as the first 2 films... so "prey" is a apt name for the film, as its not a predator film. clearly this predator is not a species capable of space capable technology or even metal forging... one might mistake this alien for a genetically deformed sub-human that stumbled across a predators corpse and took its weapons. ultimately they couldnt figure out how any primitive society could beat the pred, so they turned the movie into a rpg game were the boss predator gets de-buffed so the hero can kill it, who thanks to plot armor wont die the 1001 times they should have died and ironically makes the need to use the pred weapons to kill it utterly pointless by the movies end as the predtaor is clearly "bleeds" the plenty and with ease, basic primitive strategies would have all that was required to kill it... infact if the natives had set a bunch of traps for bears and larger game... they probably would have found the predators corpse in one of them soon enough. so basically they created a brand new predator species for this movie, a much weaker, stupid species that only appears strong in certain scenes to make the main character look all that more superior by the movies end, but in actuality makes the main character and movie look like a total fraud. why did her bro die again? he clearly was a better fighter and was more smarter then the predator, yet decided to stand there and die? because? the pred also was bleeding all over the place... is that hard for the best hunter in the tribe to notice? or did the cgi guys forget that part? hmm i wonder... the main character who if not for some super heavy plot armor would never have survived their child hood, let alone the span of the movie, nor does it make any sense why the tribe would have tolerated someone who basically sucks at everything, doesnt want to learn anything, do anything, but demands to be treated equal to the best hunters in a male dominated society... yet basically doesnt even need to follow their schedule either... were she is clearly a female and again sucks at hunting and doesnt want to learn either or follow the rules for male or female... the logic is profound in this one... no primitive tribe would have tolerated her, specially a smaller tribe were ever member counts even more to pull their weight... u can just imagine what would have "really" happened to her growing up if she was like this... that assuming she didt kill herself first, as she clearly has a death wish. very very unrealistic in all aspects and fails to apply the predator correctly, this is a movie for casuals and those desperate for anything above 0/10. which it is above 0/10, probably a 3 or a 4/10 at most, which compared to most movies these days is actually pretty good... perhaps why so many people like this movie then, specially those desperate for a predator film that isnt so bad you wish u could unseen it, like the last one... at this point im sure 2 hours of dog *** would be better on screen, then the last film, so prey really has the bar set ultra low for it making it very easy to get praise when it doesnt actually have to even try very hard, just be better then the last film basically, which it does achieve, it is clearly better then the last film... but as a pred film and even standalone film... it still suks to the point i actually regret having seen it, im not so desperate to overlook how bad it is. not only cant the main character hunt for crap, they have equally less brain cells to match, yet the movie would somehow make u believe they are somehow smart... when they basically cant do anything to show intelligence almost the entire way through and keep trying to kill themselves like its their life mission... no wonder the predator needed such a severe intelligence/body nerf, the main character is always trying to commit suicide, it mandatory in order to keep the main character even alive past the first 10 minutes.

[@JINGWA64]

she cant even figure out bringing a barking dog on a hunt is a bad idea for hunting when its always barking, again somehow tolerated by her tribe... though this dog will magically disappear when needed (i honestly think they forgot about it till the next scene or just arent sure how to make the scene work with a barking dog) and return like wise, the main character really has no brains and that is made abundantly clear in the first arc... to the degree the tribe dont care if she basically does nothing to help tribe, because she is simply that useless, though again makes sense how she would tolerated as such. the only thing she is good at is giving people some medicine, though again giving people medicine which does all the work for you, doesnt require intelligence or skill, as such she basically depends on this medicine as a go to for basically everything, yet its somehow meant to make her appear capable or intelligent, but under review simply provides more evidence of her lack intelligence or capability and dependence on others or other things for her to survive, even the lion hunt made no sense, the skilled hunter simply clueless and the scared girl in a clearly unrealistic physical motion done with cgi motion edits impales the mountain lion and then gets magically saved by her bro... yea okay... yet this clumsy scardy cat will soon become a elite fighter/hunter dont u worry, because thats what the plot dictates, not common sense. ontop that using the medicine to reduce body temperature = dont work, arnies mud worked as it acted as a insulating barrier, but did not make him invisible, which is why he needed to blend in physically as well, he couldnt just stand there or the pred would still see him and could also detect his motion/sound,, as we know the preds visor can also detect even ur heart beat as well, they are not dependent on thermal to hunt or see either or the visor, which is why things started to go south very quickly for arnie, when the pred realized he had reduced his thermal signature again predators arent stupid and rather make humans look dumb, but even animals can be dangerous, hence the reason for the human hunt. reality is after awhile the mud effect would also wear of and as for the flower/medicine in prey reducing body temp = total bs, in order to reduce the body temp low enough to not register her on the visor = your dead and if not dead, unable to move as ur entire metabolic system would have been shutdown = u would be unconscious/dieing anyways, so using this flower and yet still running around at full steam and suffering no ill effects other then "im magically invisible" is total bs from real logic and predator logic, the writer/director had obviously no clue hgow the pred tech works or how thermal cameras work which its based of "real world thermal camera technology", basically they injected pure harry potter magic to make this work, when the pred would have not only been able to see were she is thermally it would have also heard her, detected her motion and outline as she made no effort to hide herself... it would also have killed her soon as it detected her, as the predator had already marked her as prey as well... so again we can tell a 5min google search was done to make this work. it also attempts to make her seem capable with her hatchet she likes to throw around, but because its so bs... they basically skip showing the entire process and skip to her just having become a skilled hunter just like that and over the span of what appears to be just a few hours... i could be wrong, but its clearly been edited/cut... because if they showed it... it would have looked total bs with distinct star wars vibes...(still got them anyways) but regardless still ends up looking total bs by the movies end and a total fraud in victory. so when people who otherwise had common sense for previous films, start praising this one... specially allot the prominent channels, makes me wonder if people got sponsored to be less critical of the film... though as smaller channels/critics many are the same... i guess folks are just stupid or desperate for a fix is all and i only touched on the problems with this movie, the list is actually rather long.

Not buying it. Someone else pointed out that in the end of the original movie Dutch is flying in a helo looking broken, defeated, and racked with survivor's guilt after killing Predator. He was a fierce soldier who is now completely traumatized. Naru on the other hand grins after being named War Chief like she didn't just lose her brother and half of the tribe's best warriors.

It needed to go to streaming because the paycheck to do so gave the studio its money back and more. This is strictly after the failed The Predator. On top of that, it is rated R which limits its audience in theaters, so they would’ve been losing some bags of cash. All of this is under the umbrella of of the Disney/Fox merger as this film was in development hell since 2016. It wasn’t the studio doing dirty…it was the studio making sure this was successful no matter what.

Saw it yesterday, it was pretty entertaining and actually a very cool concept for a predator film! What bothers me with "Prey" and all other modern mainstream films and media that is pushing "The message" is that all the male characters always have to be written poorly. They always act stupid, recless, sexist, toxic etc. they always have to be portrayed as assholes and the female lead is always being portrayed as overly good and heroic without any human flaws at all. Its just bad writing and it doesnt resonate with most of the audience, since both the female and male characters are portrayed as caricatures rather than actual human beings.

[@CNERail]

The male characters werent portrayed as that though, sure some of them were all of those things, but it was the hunters, the young lads, who realistically would have acted that way, in real life, especially back then. Her brother wasn't written as a stereotype, and admitted at the end he dragged her back to camp because he wanted to protect her, that's great no? We've got to remember that we're talking about a time where females were absolutely not expected to be hunters, and would have been met with hostility. It would have been more unrealistic if they were all nice and accepting to her.

[@katyfive1]

they literally weren't tho - and like, you're watching a film about humans over 200 years ago....those guys WERE sexist, toxic etc....they owned slaves lmao. can't really uh, get around that. and Naru in this film has flaws, so not sure where you're going with that.

Skipping the dog part, the light female character somehow pulls the giga chad 200+ kg predator into the mud pond with ease, which is my biggest issue here. Then he stands perfectly where his helmet aims just to get shot, which is possible but lucky af

[@adrianmargean3402]

2018 The Predator was an abbomination that should never be discussed. Prey is now the seccond worst in my opinion. Predator 1 and 2 are classics that should not be compared to the load of feminist propaganda bullshit that is being thrown in our faces with this sub par movie. There are litterally too many issues to list but I can tell you the ones that bother me the most: 1. Main character is selfish and detached from the tribe, doesn't care that all the men in her tribe die because she saw a footprint in the jungle and she wants to kill whatever made it. There is no real reason establised, the predator hasn't made his presence known, hasn't killed anyone from the tribe, litterally minding his own business. In fact, a creature like that could posibly be associated with some mithological creature from the native american folkclore by the tribes people and left to its own devices. 2. Predator kills grizzly with one punch and procedes to lift it above his head, kills two dozen french men with ease, kills all the men in her tribe with ease....teenage girl proceeds to kick the living shit out of predator, cut its arm off, outrun it, outsmart it, ultimatly kills it because she understands its own tech better than the predator itself. 3. The predator is portrayed nothing like in the original movies, it's not acting like a hunter, it's just bassically a chad. Running head first into any and all confrontations. It does't care about keeping a low profile or how many people know about his existance. 4. She returns triumphant to the village and is embraced as a hero, even though her actions got every man in the village killed and the message is supposed to be "YAY! girl power! Female empowerment" all that jazz. There are litterally tons of things that annoyed me about the movie, the worst is this agenda that has to be pushed in each and every movie that comes out about how men are stupid and weak and women just can do everything better and kick alien ass. Arnold and his bunch of trained killer with modern weapons were getting fucked up but a teenage girl is jumping from a tree on its back with a hatchet and proceeds to fight him for 5 min.

I loved this movie, it was done really, really well. I only have a few problems with the technology of this predator, more specifically 2. This predator was able to walk in water without the camouflage spazzing out, if this is set way in the past it wouldn’t make sense that the camo would get worse in the future. Secondly how was the predator able to see through the blood? Wouldn’t the blood coat the visor and blur it because it’s also warm? It doesn’t really make too much sense to me but that’s about it. Other than the little flaws it’s a phenomenal movie that will be one of my favorite predator movies out there.

thats all? guess ur not a pred fan and probably never watched pred 1 and 2 then... predators have extremely tough skin/flesh... eg those primitive weapons cant slice and dice pred flesh... also predators are more intelligent then pre-historic ape man... and have better reflex's, so in hand to hand combat, unless they are giving their prey a chance to fight back = u dead. u know a 5 year old shouldnt be smarter then a predator, but in this case a retarded human child could probably still easily outsmart this predator in any competition of intelligence, infact im not sure which would win a ape or this predator in terms of intellect, even most animals learn faster then this guy and we already know predators are extremely fast learners... because their intelligent and more so then humans based of all the evidence, they make humans look dumb infact and their whole society revolves around the hunt. the only way arnie got the drop on the pred was fluke and because the pred was not aware arnie had discovered "partially" how its "one" vision works. the pred can see "detail" in thermal vision, hence it doesnt trip over jumping around thermal neutral environments... it can see the objects... only reason it didnt see arnie in the mud, was the same reason you might have had to look twice... he was blended in physically, not just thermally and since pred didnt realize, it had no reason to take a second look, naturally anyone would assume arnie would be running for his life if they hadnt known otherwise... or it would have noticed his outline. same arnie in the trees, it didnt know yet and arnie was motionless and did his best to "physically" blend in = the pred didnt see any movement, didnt hear any movement initially to alert it, though when arnie moved its clear the pred noticed something, but still didnt suspect arnie had thermal camouflage, when wildlife was abundant...and had its focus on the fire pit were it assumed arnie was waiting, that would have made its vision partially impaired as well. which is why it backfired, once the pred realized he couldnt see him thermally, so he started to shoot all over the place to force his movement in order to find him, were again arnie won out luck and its still not certain he had won as the pred committed suicide per their protocol, just like pred2 were the pred was very much capable fighting, but the situation made it unclear to the pred what injuries it might incur, so it activated the protocol. pred 2 they also thought they had the pred blind, but the instant the pred heard a sound, it realized something was a miss and unlike pred 1 who had been attacked and had to react immediately, this pred had the luxury of time to analyze its situation and started to scan its different vision modes, until it found them, but obviously it could have still tracked them the same was as in pred 1 if it needed. while PREY... yea this pred is dumb... really dumb and doesnt even follow the proper hunting code or hunting logic and instead they twist it and make the magic flower to try make it make some sense... yet for any pred fan = slap in the face... this is a movie made by people who dont know predator and probably never watched the first 2 movies and only read about them in a 5min google search. the list if issue with the pred are lengthy, also in regards to its mask, but enough typing for today.

There was no hunting, no tracking and watching its prey, sizing up the biggest challenge. It’s invisibility was just there because “that’s what Predators do” They should have done away with the cloaking all together

I think Feral Predator was meant to be a Young Blood. It was HIS first time on the planet maybe even his species first time. He was taking out animals one after another, climbing the food chain until he got to Humans. But he still killed people who attacked him because that’s what any sane person would do. Yautja may be hunters and honorable species, but they’re still people, Feral was young, overconfident, and generally less skilled then the rest of his kin which we have seen. He underestimated the protagonist, like many Yautja tend to do, and he died because of it. And he was hunting, not the way we’re used to, but he was hunting and tracking. Not all Yautja use their Biomasks to replicate voices and lure traps. He seemed to be like the Berserker Predator, preferring to use close quarters combat over his weapons. He literally punched a bear to death after all.

its almost as if they have individual styles and characteristics and are not the exact same thing each time

@@InitialPC A good point. Alongside that, Predators honor code allows mass murder like the Feral Predator was doing, when it’s self defense.

I was looking into why this video had so many dislikes and bro, you guys need to chill. "Having a woman in the lead role bad, pred became dumb, feminists ruined it." Was good movie. I wouldn't say perfect, but it wasn't held back from that bar by the lead role. You lot know it's BS, so take that BS and go do something worthwhile with your lives instead.
