[@DarthKilaj85]

The reason this movie was so good is they kept it historically accurate for the time as well as used real Native American actors and directing assistant for this movie.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oh absolutely! It was genuinely so refreshing and joyful to see actual Native Americans be a part of a story that is told about them and their ways. Their knowledge and culture always has been so rich and we are all the more lucky to see it represented with diligence and thoughtfulness. It was honestly amazing to see!

[@DarthKilaj85]

@@OfficialMediaKnights yes and even though many don't agree I think this one is the best predator movie we have had

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yeah, I mean opinions will always vary across the board, which is natural, but the way this movie encapsulated the looming threat of the Predator but added a completely different feel with its cinematography, lighting and score, is what really sets it apart!

[@francisreagan]

I loved the movie!!

[@ginawhisnant9966]

The bison were killed and skinned for their hides by the French trappers. It was set in the very late 1600's or early 1700's. The dog's part was increased from the original plan due to its personality. The dog was legit a rescue. You should watch 2010's Predators with Adrian Brody.

[@calvinheslop2585]

Apparently that dog is the same breed as the ones that this tribe actually used at the time.

[@zacharyjoy8724]

I’m especially looking forward to their reaction to the Duel Scene in Predators. One of the best moments in the franchise.

[@john79taxidriver20]

it is later 1700's damn! as seen on the gun he gave her same gun predator elder gave glover end of part 2!!

[@juliaboskamp9666]

Yeah Coco (name of the dog) was also adopted because of this movie, by a loving family.

[@degov5]

The fact that this went straight to streaming and not theaters was one of the biggest mistakes. Experiencing the cinematography and sound design on the big screen would have been incredible. Hopefully the whoever is in chargge of the next Alien project can do the franchise justice as well

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

While watching it all I could think of is: I NEED TO SEE THIS IN IMAX. The cinematography and sound was so so beautiful and crisp. Why the hell wouldn’t they release this in theaters!? Huuuge mistake. Would’ve been a summer blockbuster. But hey, with its success maybe the sequels will have a chance 😃

[@vesuvius115]

Sadly, if we're honest. The 2018 movie ruined it's chances of theaters. If they spent extra money on theaters and marketing, theres a chance they may of not got it back due to the backlash of the last film, HOWEVER, if there is a sequel, it'll be in theaters and lets HOPE it is good.

[@beans8130]

@@OfficialMediaKnights there is a pre existing contract before Disney acquired fox that would’ve meant, had prey gone to theatres it would’ve meant it had to go to HBO’s streaming. So that’s why it didn’t realise in theatres.

[@AT-sd9qq]

I bet if they find a way to do a limited release like next month on the big screen it would make a killing.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Dude! If they released it IMAX I’d be there in a heartbeat 😍

Amber Midthunder does such a good job in this film

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

She is awesome as Naru. We loved her!

[@gustonzimasheen]

If you haven't seen it already, check out the American superhero television series "Legion" (2017). Amber is great in that too, and most likely the reason she was considered for "Prey". @@OfficialMediaKnights

[@corbelius6]

She needs a place next to Sigourney Weaver as the best Badass Women leads.

[@akyhne]

Also her friend, who helped her. It was his first movie. You couldn't tell!

[@beans8130]

The scene where they’re chained up as bait in the ash forest. The cloak deactivates/malfunctions because of all the ash, that’s why you see him smelling it. Such a great scene

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oooohhh yeah, that was a subtle but amazing moment! This movie did such a great job at giving us subtle clues on the Predators and the way their hunting ways and morals were shown so sick! Thanks for commenting!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We just saw it and thank you so much for the recommendation! What an artist, the creature designs are spectacular!

[@WizzRacing]

No it doesn't.. He realized they burn the forest around the area down. So he had no place to hide in the trees.. As he could still cloak. But it was useless when they could see him moving with it on.. As he still used the trees to avoid his 3 mines... Still not sure how they knew the Predator was there. And what he was up too. As he still killing Wolves, Snakes and Bears and Indians. Before got to the French party. It's as if they seen his ship dropping him off. And they knew what it was...

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

They probably saw the ship in the sky like Naru and for some reason we don’t know yet they knew what it was. Perhaps they’ve already encountered one? I guess we’ll have to wait and see 😃

[@marcoadan1]

I like to talk about the subtle nuances I notice after watching a movie multiple times. I keep watching the ending and I think the actor who played Naru's mother did a great job for an extremely short amount of screentime. When Naru comes back you can see relief in her face even though she's reminded of the son she lost. She has her daughter back. But then you see pride. Her daughter didn't just come back alive, she came back as War Chief. But then she realizes what that means...War Chief is always at the front of the line, first in battle, taking danger and death head on. Also, I love how the Chief just kinda shoves her forward after giving her the spear. Kinda like, "You wanted it, you got it." Very good film.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yeeesss!! The mother was phenomenal, she added such an interesting wisdom to Motherhood, to let your child go off and pursue what they want, instead of doing what they do best. It's to let the bird leave the nest, and hope they come back as unscathed as possible but also learning to let go and let them experience life, and everything that comes with it! Thanks so much for the comment, we appreciate you!

[@marcoadan1]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Yeah...mothers be like that. Even now me being 41 years old, there are times when she holds me up. Here's just a short history...I Love nature. Camping, hiking, fishing etc. It's my Zen. Dad was a paraplegic. Wheelchair. Couldn't take his sons camping, so mom did. And I always make sure to tell her, besides life, it's the greatest gift she's ever given me. We don't have the best relationship, we bicker and raise our voices, but I still make sure to ask her if she'd like to tag along on my camping trips. She usually does. I bought her her own tent, of course🙄.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

What a story! Wow... thank you so much for sharing. Your mother sounds like an incredible woman. And you're right, sometimes we cross each other's boundaries or even hurt each other's feelings, but we're there for each other. The separate tent was probably a good idea though 😂😂😂

[@Huhta84]

Interesting that you guys caught on to the armor of the Predator. They visit different planets with their up-to-date weaponry and technology to hunt. As they fail or win, their collected data is used to develop new tech to better their odds of survival for their next hunt on the planets they've been to. That is why you see different armors, equipment and weapon loadouts in every single movie that features the Predators.

[@potterj09]

They characterize this predator as a highly talented yet somewhat aggression-driven one. Maybe a young adult. The one from the original movie was seasoned, calculated and experienced.

[@hillyknight]

The one in this film is called a feral predator, not sure if he's young or old but thats the type of predator that he was 😁

[@SolidSnake240]

​​@@hillyknight Yea I remember the director (I think) talking about how this Yautjua is from a different part of their homeworld. A part not as advanced and less civilized to a degree.

[@Don-fw3nv]

Snake showed it could be sensed, wolf showed that it could harmed, bear proved it could be toppled, europeans proved it could be outsmarted

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

And a Native showed it could be Killed 👏 fantastic movie structure

[@assignmentguide3865]

I was like ermmm how just how and you also predicted the peratator in the mud…

[@antoniokelnurlaz9367]

actually it isnt the first time he guessed endings or plots

[@tehdipstick]

Not all reptiles have thermal sensory organs, but rattle snakes are pit vipers, which do have thermal pits, yes. I really liked the story-telling that they were doing with the Predator in this movie. This is obviously one of the first, if not *the* first visit to Earth by the Predators, so they haven't determined that humans make for the best, most challenging prey yet. He works his way up by studying the animals, watching the rattler kill the rat, then the wolf going after the hare before deciding to test them as opponents. He does the same with the bear attacking Naru later, before going after the Comanche hunters/warriors after realizing they have weapons. I also love that the movie showed how the Predators have also progressed in terms of technology, like having a weapon with the triangular laser pointer, but instead of it being a plasma cannon it's a predecessor that fires flechette darts.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It was an amazing structure to not only understand the predators behavior but also to build tension throughout the film. Genius!! Absolutely loved what they did and how they used body temperature against the predator. One of my favorite films this summer. Thank you for your insight! We appreciate it.

[@everforward5561]

I think this predator had access to all of that, it just chose to go the low-tech route for the added challenge.

[@tehdipstick]

@@everforward5561 Nope, the director has stated in interviews that the Predator's weaponry is less technologically advanced because it's 300 years in the past. Their technology has evolved over that time as well.

[@nitrokid]

@@tehdipstick But if we're talking in a non-meta way, they already have warp capable starships, and even seemingly a bit more advanced cloaking tech than the 1987 Jungle Hunter. Why wouldn't they have plasma caster or at least something closer to that developed already? 😂

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Maybe we’ll get a proto caster in the next film?

[@SPAMsammiches]

Loved watching your reactions (just for context, I am a 48 y.o. Marine veteran and Predator '87 is one of my very fave movies!). I LOVED this movie! The vitriol this has been getting from some just baffles me, especially when people try to claim she has no arc and is a flat character. I don't agree with that at all and thought she had some great development. In the beginning she was so inexperienced that her confidence was really unearned, but by the end she had really developed into a predator herself. That so many miss that her arc was in her transition from prey to predator just baffles me. I mean, the movie goes out of its way to show us that she is no match for these things she is fighting (cat, bear, young men, etc). I mean they show us the bear will kill her, and then this crazy alien monster thing kills the bear... with it's bare hands, mind you... and then presses it up over it's head and bathes in it's blood... I mean... seriously??? I have also seen claims of "plot armor." Well no kidding. If she died halfway through, the movie wouldn't be about her. She survives these scrapes by being just a little faster... or smarter... or observant, and all come together to teach her how to win. Anyway, don't mean to ramble. Was great watching your reactions. THX for the great video! :)

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

No rambling at all! Loved your insightful comment. We started this channel for this precise reason, to talk all about the films we love and meaningful comments like this warms our heart. First of all, thank you for your service. I’m pretty sure a Marine would be an awesome match vs the predator haha. That’s exactly how we saw it too! Her arc is right there and it’s a great one. She is not a perfect hunter. She is insecure in the beginning. Not minding her surroundings etc But through this movies we get to see her learn from past mistakes, come out of tight situations and eventually outsmart the predator himself. And becomes a huntress by the end of the film and it is implied she is in fact the most respected one in the tribe. SO WHAT DO THEY MEAN NO ARC!? Cmon, people will bash to bash. If it didn’t go the way they were expecting it’s a bad film. I thought it was absolutely fantastic and executed in such a polished way, predator fans should be proud! Thank you for your comment and for the support! 😃

[@SPAMsammiches]

@@OfficialMediaKnights also, what arc does anyone in the '87 original have, and it's near universally beloved! I think we both know the beef people have with the movie has nothing to do with a lack of "arc"... I guess maybe Blain learned that he did have time to duck?

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Yeah it’s kinda lame that people can’t just sit and enjoy a film for what it is and they get entangled in these other things that the film is clearly trying to maneuver with respect. At the end of the day I enjoyed it and I’m happy to hear so many people like us enjoyed it all around the globe so yeah! Gimme that sequel!! 😂 and also yeah rip to Blain

[@tupac1971ever]

She does hold her own in fighting the guy tho.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Oh for sure, she used what she learned and made it work for her own hunting style!

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Dane DiLegro(The Feral Predator) said "He`s not like the other Predators we`ve seen.He`s a little more temperamental,rough around the edges, somewhat more flexible with the Predator honor code.He`s younger maybe.Less experienced.He makes a number of mistakes throughout the film but he also learns and is extremely brutal,maybe the most brutal Predator so far as well as the first chronologically to hunt on Earth and he enjoys fighting and killing as much as if not more than the hunt itself."

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We thought the same thing while watching! It was clear this guy had less experience and his vibe while he was hunting gave off “one of the young ones” vibe haha still probably one of my favorite predator portrayals ever though!

[@AspieMediaBobby]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Yep,of course no one will ever replace Kevin Peter Hall(R.I.P.) as the classic Jungle and City Hunters in the first two films but Ian Whyte(Scar,Celtic,Chopper,Ancient Predator,Berserker,the Super Predators,Upgraded Predators,Assassin Predator,Hybrid Predator,Fugitive Predator,Crucified Predator and Wolf) and Dane DiLegro(Feral) do justice to his legacy!Also, all three are/were nice dudes IRL!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Ian Whyte is truly incredible (as are the others obviously!!) his presence as The Last Engineer in Prometheus was INSANE!! We were lucky enough to witness these actors bless us with some incredible performances and adore the legacy they all left behind!

[@sanjaysanj5603]

i think honestly wolf was the most brutal predator shown, all his kills and skills displayed, no other predator shown fighting in the films can match his prowess and brutality.

[@kpednault]

I love love love the Yautja's bone mask in this one! I also love that he didn't use many weapons, he wanted to hunt with his bare hands

[@jezlawrence720]

I love the way when she's fighting the guys at the french camp she keeps taking knives and putting them in people before grabbing them again later to stab someone else, was great choreography.

[@btnhstillfire]

As a photographer my favorite shot in this whole movie is when the little floating bombs go off and the camera pans doen to show Naru walking away from it. That is so fuckin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Ohhh dude that shot was sick for sure!! Also loved the shot just before that when the predator is in the middle of the clearing and slowly turns visible and begins the slaughter - so awesome!

[@ZzzPS]

Thank you guys for your reaction. I’m also enjoyed “Prey” so much. This movie feels just like original predator, but still different.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely!! They found an amazing balance between respect to the OG and creating something new. They definitely poured a lot of love and respect into this one and it shows! Thanks so much for commenting, we're so happy you enjoyed our reaction!

[@ZzzPS]

I agree. Thank you👌🏽

[@BumpyBaluga]

great reaction...there are subclasses of Predators: warriors, hunters, ancients, young bloods, bad bloods, and ferals, which is the predator we have. they preferred minimum tech and weapons. but also Predators adapt their hunting based on experience. i think thats why this Predator doesnt have a plasma cannon but like a rail gun. their tech was based on their prey. the predator also may be a youngblood, not really tested or a badblood, predators who used stuff to enhance themselves.. thinking we will get a sequel based on the credits. new sub!!! also what Tabaii screams when he fights the Predator and it cloaks can roughly be translated as, "Cheater."

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you so much for the insight! Reading your comment was so much fun. What an interesting lore man! I am hoping we are getting a sequel to this because this was absolutely fantastic. Thank you for your support, it means a lot 👊😄

[@adriel88_]

The predator always been an OP cheater just look how the jungle hunter shot Blaine from the back just cuz he had that big ass gun what a bitch move from predator

[@Watcherandlearner5]

They also get better gear the more dangerous the prey is also young bloods are beginners

[@lukasbauer8783]

For hunters with some degree of a sense of honor it would make sense to adjust the level of tech used at least somewhat to their current prey, so that they don't have too large an advantage. Bigger challenge, more meaningful victory.

[@WizzRacing]

Her brother calls the Predator Cheater.. As he cloaked on him to avoid being killed by him.. She was so close to the Predator. Some of her hair was cut off. When he killed that dude.. And the French Soldiers were smart. They burned the trees down. So he had no place to hide...Just didn't work out for them. The grizzly Bear fight. That bear worked his ass over good. Then starts walking away...As the Predators cloak was useless.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

I like how in many of the predator films the cloak doesn’t seem to be perfect by any means and malfunctions every now and then. Perhaps hinting that this technology is fairly recent for them.

[@WizzRacing]

@@OfficialMediaKnights It malfunctions when they are hit by something. Then it works again as it realigns to the environment surrounding them. So if an arrow hits him. It has to make adjustments now that the arrow being stuck of him. Is part of him... It's their weak point. Why they avoid fire. It's the one thing that will kill them...

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

So interesting! Hopefully we get some more lore like this in the next film. I’m actually really curious about their weaponry and how it originated etc

[@mrbard1]

I loved the balance of cinematography, story telling and Native American representation. And all of it within a Predator movie is just beyond words. Supreme movie. 9.6/10.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Absolutely, this film was so well-crafted and nuanced, the way the Native Americans were portrayed was so delicate and truthful - we got to see how advanced they were before the colonizers arrived. Prey truly was such a wonderful surprise and is definitely and easily on our Top 10 Fave movies of the year thus far!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Comanches bro, Comanches

[@nitrokid]

The Yautja (Predator race) call their hunting ritual, The Path. This is what they are born to do. To constantly prove themselves in a dangerous hunt. The law is to hunt the prey that kills, and to match the quarry, weapon for weapon, hence the spear and bolt gun in this film (although some say the Yautja haven't develop their energy weapons at this point of time). And yes, in the books, they do hunt Xenomorphs, which they dubbed "Kainde Amedha" which translates to Hard Meat (the Predators called us Soft Meat, btw 😂). They also referring the Xenos as "serpents". Usually they prove themselves by using spears, scatterguns, or even their bare hands when hunting Xenomorphs.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

WOW! Hunting a Xeno with bare hands is probably the most badass thing a predator can do!! So interesting man. I would not be mad at giving the Predator Vs Alien story another try in today's age. I think if they take it seriously it could be a blast to watch that showdown again 😀

[@nitrokid]

@@OfficialMediaKnights I like the AVP series. Requiem is a pure sci-fi horror while the first AVP (2004) is an action/sci-fi. If one of you haven't seen them then maybe it'll be fun to watch it 🙂 Yeah I definitely need more AVP movies, and I need the main Predator NOT to die so he can appear again in the next movie 😂

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Haha for real! They really should do a few films like that. One from the Predators perspective, one from the Alien perspective. In each film the “protagonist” wins against their respective rivals. So they move on, building tension between the main Alien and the main predator. Ughhh that would be an amazing watch haha. I watched the films when they first came out and haven’t seen them again. I’m not sure if Denise has but we could definitely give them a go in the channel 😃. Thank you so much for commenting we both love talking movies with people so learning new things about films and lore we didn’t know Is very much appreciated

[@netflixandchinchilla]

Finally someone who gets it. There are too many people blasting this movie for being some kind of 'woke' propaganda where all they wanted to do was shove gender neutrality in our faces and I personally did not see any of that. Other than one moment in the movie there was never really anyone who doubted her capability to be a warrior. The tribe just didn't think she was ready, and she wasn't. Which is why the Predator didn't think she was a threat; not because she was a woman. The potential and drive was always there but she had to learn along the way.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Exactly! I didn’t see any “wokeness” to it. Back in the day everybody was happy with characters like Ripley. Now any female character that is badass people think they’re trying to pander us with that message but it’s not true. This movie was well crafted but some people just want to nitpick. Thank you so much for commenting😄

[@berndneumann1418]

I found "PREY" much better than the other parts. There was something about this film that the others didn't have. The other parts didn't have "NARU". NARU was so smart.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

This movie is probably one of the best in the franchise and I say one of because I don’t want to say THE best just yet. But I was super impressed and super happy with what they did 😃

[@GeenoGab]

My two favorite parts of the movie are where the bear gave the Predator a good fight before it fell, and second is the very last scene where the tribe finally recognizes her as a warrior. The scene would be meaningless without everything else that transpired in the movie. Really amazing film, an 8.5/10 for me.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

I don't think it was a result of the mud, I think it was just because the Feral Predator didn't notice his helmet targeting him until the last second, since the bolts were shown to follow the laser's when the Feral Predator shot at the dog earlier in the movie. This may very reason could also be why Yautja started using plasma-casters, so they could avoid killing themselves by accident (This is my own little theory so I don't really know if it's true.

Late to the party, but this movie explains Billy in the first predator. The theory is he was from the same tribe and grew up hearing stories about this, so kind of knew what he was up against in the first movie. Also, the pistol she was given was the one from the end of Predator 2.

[@gennavandella]

The predators came back for the body at the end. You'll see the art drawings of the ships arriving. The elders always there to watch the battle. They bring back any evidence and reward the winner with a trophy 🏆. So the winner was the girl so she got a old western gun. These are just teenage predators so they make a lot of mistakes in battle. This one didn't even know how all his weapon's worked. He even went into the open to retrieve his arrows. Which means this one didn't pay much attention to his training. They also wear amour to blend in the environment and prey they're hunting. This one was given arrows instead of a plasma blaster because that's what the prey used at that era of time. These predators which species is called yautja can live for over a thousand years. Some don't make it that far because they're always hunting. Elders are worship and don't hunt much because of old age. It doesn't mean they can't cuz they're still in their prime. They're also the ones that originally created the xenomorphs. In predator concrete jungle PS2 game in a intro cut scene. The elders dropped the young predator on a planet with original xenomorphs. You'll see their true insect form. The predators that engineered them to mixed with other species which was the smaller version of facehugger. The yautja species has been around for millions of years. So our spieces are literally babies in technology. They have advanced technology that they never showed to human beings. They only use technology that blends in to that world and not too overpowered. If the weapons are too powerful that's a unfair advantage for them. That's why they're still vulnerable in when wearing armour. They need to know they still can die if they messed up.

[@Marcustheseer]

i love the movie but honestly the last fight is very very biased for her to win,if the predator can hold its own against a bear fairly easely and lift it up in the air above its head with ease then she has no chance of escaping his grasp or even budging herself between those rocks her head would have been cut of,also when she pulls him into the quick sand there is no way she can pull his weight so easely,and 3rd that predator knows his equipment better then her the moment he got the red dots on his face he would have ducked so the shot missed,this fight was so hard in favor of her.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

You’re absolutely right from a logical stand point haha we do have to suspend disbelief a little. For the last one though I don’t think the predator had enough time to react to his own shot. A lot of the times in movies they “stretch” the time and make it almost double for the audience to catch on. So the reaction is stronger. But in real time it probably wasn’t as long for the predator to react. He saw it but it was too late.

[@Victorio667553]

The way you predicted the Predator head trophy right from the start was kind of hilarious xD

[@robonaught]

I was glad they didn't kill the dog. The part when the French person goes to kill it I was all "Dude why? What are you gonna even accomplish by killing the dog?" The only thing I didn't like is that it completely retcons how the Elder Predator from Predator 2 got the pistol that he then gives to Mike Harrigan. Anybody who has read the Predator 1718 comic will know exactly what I am talking out.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

C'mon,it did'nt surpass the original,it's impossible to do that... Never can that "mix" of elements be achieved again. 1st of all = the cast , who are these ppl,never heard of any of these actors! 2nd,the music, Silvestri's score was so good it was beating sales as a separate soundtrack! 3.It was tje franchises birth,makers did'nt have material to work with! 4.CGI did'nt exist back then,but the film still managed to look awesome with full practical fx. 35 yrs ago... 5.Here the makers could'nt reprise the surprising element,we all know what the Predator looks like,1st film had the "reveal"... I could go on,but it's gonna become too long. Peace

Speaking of the score. Some of it reminded me of the score from the 1992 Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis. I wonder if that was intentional because the time frame is around the same and both films are about Native Americans

[@thedogman7846]

The field of skinned bison was not the predators work. It was symbolic for europeans arriving in north america and hunting down bisons in the thousands for their skins

21:50 Actually the Feral Predator didnt turn off the cloaking by choice, unlike its distant cousins where its cloaking can be disrupted by water, this one is disrupted by the ashes surrounding the area, which is why the french trapper pick the place to get an upper hand, but it still wasnt enough...

Since you guys mentioned wanting to see the Predators fighting the Xenomorphs from Alien, you absolutely have to watch AVP (Alien Versus Predator). You'll love it, and it gives a lot of background to the Predators.

[@shredheadterminal]

Oh please, this is dumbest movie in the franchise. The predator in is so lame, doesn't even know how his own equipment works and stands around getting shot by everyone like its nothing. Also the rope tomahawk was just dumb. In fact, even the animals are dumb in this movie, the bear nearly kills the predator and then just walks away, like wtf?

[@nero_x6456]

The foreshadowing you guys had about her bringing the head to the village is crazy

[@TheLucasbuck]

Great reaction to a great movie. Good insight as well on how to create a badass female lead without the pandering so prevalent in recent Hollywood fare. Thanks.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thanks so much for the comment! We honestly loved this film. We both care deeply about representation in film and shows, but we have also seen how so many films just use it for pandering/cash grabs with superlazy writing instead of genuinely putting in effort to writing great characters. This movie avoided all of that and delivered us some great culture, spectacle and action. What a thrill!

[@Shigeru0508]

My only complain is that the animals are way too agressive. Especially the wolf would usually just run away confronted with a scary invisible thing it never smelled before and kicked him out of nowhere.

Just in case it was not mentioned yet, the bison were not killed by the predator, they were killed by the white men. Neither the predator nor the Comanches would slaughter so pointlessly.

The scene when the French man approached Sari with a knife, I can’t really translate the exact full meaning of it but what he said is that he’s not exactly opposed to the idea of eating a dog because it’s much better than what beavers taste like so correct me if I’m wrong.

[@anthonyramirez9003]

The scene with the skinned cows. Those were buffalo, and it wasn't the predator who did it. It was the French. The predator only goes after other predators to establish dominance. It doesn't go after weaker species, and would not just wasted animals like that wholesale.

[@nitrokid]

The Yautja only kill prey that kills. The snake, wolf, bear, even Naru's dog who the Feral recognizes as hunting dog, a warrior's companion. But from what I read from the novels, Yautjas sometimes kill weaker animals too, but only for sustenance, since they are carnivores.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for your insightful comment! You’re awesome dude 😃 Which novels do you recommend reading to expand our lore knowledge?

[@nitrokid]

@@OfficialMediaKnights There are a lot of Predator novels but I haven't read much of them. The ones I read were the Aliens vs Predator trilogy 🙂 They explain the Yautja culture quite a bit since the book tells the story from Predator POV too.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

I’ll definitely give them a read! I’m very interested in the lore of the predator since they’re one of my favorite creatures in film history.

[@Lemon_Force]

@@nitrokid "Naru's dog who the Feral recognizes as hunting dog, a warrior's companion" I doubt it was that deep. Its more likely that, within the few seconds it sees the dog charging at it, the predator thinks its another wolf similar to the one that it had just killed yesterday.

[@marvelstarwarsgeek1511]

Great reaction as always .👍👍👍 I truly love this movie , in fact this was the best film of 2022 for me , I went into this after seeing the previous entry The Predator and was expecting it to be another lacklustre average entry in the Predator franchise imagine my surprise when it was truly amazing . It is so great in every aspect , the Directing by Dan Trachtenberg ( 10 Cloverfield Lane ) was fantastic , the action scenes are sooo great I love the scene where the Predator slaughters the French fur trappers so brutal .The story and character are great , the Cinematography was amazing the truly great shots of the landscape are so beautiful , the acting is fantastic Amber Midthunder is great as Naru and Dakota Beavers is just as great as Taabe ( Hard to belive this is his first movie ) I love the way the Predator looks slightly different to the others and that the weapons are a bit more primitive using arrows not Plasma Cannons , and as for the soundtrack by Sarah Schachner it is one of my favourites so atmospheric and exciting in the right places , if I had any slight criticism it is that Native Americans in 1700 would not have used modern terms like bleed out , and that the other guys in the tribe apart from Taabe were the cliched male chauvinists but these are very minor criticisms so all in all a truly great film which was way better than I thought it would be .
