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.

[@user-kd4oo3xq3l]

The 2010 Predators is actually a favorite of mine

[@rel8edgamerz445]

My favorite one it was great

[@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

[@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.

[@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😂

[@rotazd]

@@CheeksMcGillicutty nah, your low standards tops the cringe.

[@CheeksMcGillicutty]

@@rotazd You're definitely right about that. They got low the moment I read your response. So did my iq.

[@rotazd]

Lol you really taking it personal, sorry I hurty your feelings. "Chefs kiss" dear oh dear lol

[@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.

[@lefthandedguitars7181]

That's a cool idea, like predator versus Batman

[@OGRio-de4gn]

Riiight

[@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.

[@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.

[@elizae2528]

I LOVE 1987, 1990's and 2004 Predator!

[@martymar9311]

Thanks for this info 👽

[@brianhays1797]

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

[@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

[@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

[@RS8XB]

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

[@alexromero2632]

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

[@bigdaddy911kev]

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

[@mattmmilli8287]

AVP is a terrible guilty pleasure kinda movie ^^

[@SolarDNA]

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

[@godfrey-kunn6525]

3rd baby! Whose y'alls favourite predator?

[@craigwoodward8455]

Y-OW-TCHA..... not Ya-u-tcha... its been driving me insane. XD

[@asandersonsrc]

Sounds great

[@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

[@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.

[@andreww1225]

Hope they try making a Wild West version

[@adamg4754]

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

[@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.

[@BruceVial]

Oscar winner to predators, nice

[@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

[@user-xe2fr9fb5m]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is probably the only foreigner that plays Americans without using an American voice(little fact)

[@bardyx16omega11]

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

[@hamboneandfamily]

[@luffyjoyboy5022]

This is my life. The predators want to recruit me to make themselves stronger 😭.

[@Andersj13]

It’s pounced “Yowcha” I believe.

[@leeroy8936]

What about the 1990s predator and alien vs predator videogames?

[@MOB_JD]

It's actually pronounced "yowt-jah" but great work nonetheless!

[@Fenris77]

13:18 Skilled "Fighters" is a nice word for a bunch of rather skilled "KILLERS" considering one of them is not exactly a fighter but "something" else...

[@michael-gb3rn]

personally i don't mind the movie prey but the thing about the pistol i refuse to accept ill stick to the old story.

[@edwardteach3080]

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

[@mohammedalbaker8963]

Yauothcha?????

[@agfw73]

Yeah, I though it was pronounced Yowcha

[@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?

[@user-hu3zr4ks7x]

Bro said Ya uhhh cha

[@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

[@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.

[@bijoylaha7245]

No limites

The xenomorphs or whatever they’re called fill me with dread. The predators on the other hand always felt like iffy Doctor Who aliens to me. They’ve got comical faces that make them look like they’ve got a hair lip, plus the dreadlocks are really a poor design choice imo. Only seen the first two films and thought they were so so. Not a patch on the first two Alien films.

1987 predator and Prey are the only good ones, the rest are just fillers…

FALSE. The better name is "Alienator". Predalien is a garbage name and pathetic.

[@fuckgoogle8661]

Predator vs musashi, and predator vs, Spartans are definitely on my list. But I also want a predator square off w/ snake plisken from the John carpenter escape films and a terminator. Also the predator vs the thing could be a lot of fun. Especially if it’s a team of predators. Also can predators ever hunt Kiaju (Japanese giant monsters like Godzilla). And if we’re going crazy what about a predator movie about hunting down the baddest of the bad, Freddy, Jason, Micheal. Chucky wouldn’t stand a chance.
