@PierceArner2 жыл бұрын
@@beppo2814 Not necessarily. Given this film's love of the source material, there are a lot of details to consider that have far more interesting possibilities. The comics had the origin of the pistol coming from a story about a pirate crew stranded on an island where the Predator hunted them. The crew mutinied against the captain, so he fought them off being aided by the predator, but was shot in the back before the two of them turned on one another. The pistol was a gift to that predator, who was the same Elder who gives it to Harrigan in _Predator 2._ While _Prey_ established a different origin for the pistol here, it's entirely possible that it's given to one of the Predators as a gift in lieu of a direct trophy, in the same way it's done later on in _Predator 2._ That seems even more likely with the tease of multiple ships arriving in the credit sequence, given what the other films have shown about them, but also in how _Prey_ established the tension between the French & Comanche, despite both being humans. While the regular Predators are fairly often shown to be amenable towards temporary cooperation with humans against a mutual threat like in _AvP_ or _The Predator_ not all of them are. _Predators_ made it clear that the larger Super Predators hunt the regular Predators, and even the crucified Predator in that film is used in a very similar way to how the French used Naru & her brother in _Prey._ The Feral Predator in _Prey_ is physiologically different from either type we've seen before but seems significantly more like the Super Predators. Given the type of hunters that they are, it seems like they'd be the type to send down the Feral to hunt on more primitive worlds, and only come down en masse if there was something capable of killing the Feral. That's precisely what looks to be happening at the end of the film. Given that the motif and theme of _Prey_ is centered around "hunting something hunting you" and the end of the film having Naru move the tribe to higher and more defensible ground, it seems focused on expanding the circumstances they're faced with. Since she received the pistol by temporarily trusting the French translator, and also needed the Predators' own technology to win, she's in a prime position to act as a way to understand the same dynamic in the Predator castes. Just like the Frenchman explaining the pistol, she needs a Predator to be able to understand how to use their weaponry, especially after moments like the spear collapsing shut preventing her from attacking with it means she can't rely on it without that. There's no way for them to hold out against hunters equipped to kill other Predators, and looking to hunt something capable of killing one. The Predators in _AvP_ were also established as working with tribal humans to build the ancient temples, so there's also precedent to follow for that as well. Assuming that the Comanche do strike an alliance with a Predator against that larger threat, her giving up the pistol as a sign of trust seems like a natural one to establish that bond or as a show of respect in a way that would add appropriate weight and context to that gesture in _Predator 2._ It would also follow the same elements of alliance and threat of invasion that _The Predator_ was going for, but within a far more contained incident, where that particular predator being an Elder could be the whole reason that a heavier focus never got directed back towards Earth until much later.

On the story of masculinity throughout the films issue it also gets to masculinity in Taabe, where the traditional bad ass form of masculinity can be openly loving and supportive without suffering any sort of social bullying. He doesn't have to be hard and unemotional. He can love his mom and his sister without any sort of mask or "aw no don't be like that" "you'll never be able to do it" when in front of his boys sort of behavior. That's progress, too, IMO.

This movie did something the other predator films didn't, hearing her war cry at the end there tears me up every time I see the scene because I felt the sacrifices she had to make to get that victory.

If you've worked hard at something in your life against all odds when it felt hopeless and then you finally get to that moment where it pays off, then you can relate to her in that moment. I wouldn't say it's better than predator 1 only because that movie was the introduction to predator and it's hard to top the feeling you get seeing that for the first time.

this was such a breath of fresh air for the franchise. there are different classes and subclasses of the Predator species (Yautja). this is a Feral Predator. they preferred the fight more than anything, minimum tech, and weapons. Predators also evolve depending on their prey, and where theyve hunted. so since this is the 1800th century its safe to say theyve been to earth before this. thats why in Predator (1987) we get a hunter Predator with a evolved tech and weaponary. this Predator could also be a subclass called young bloods, untested, fairly new to the whole hunt. lastly when Tabai bests the predator and it cloaks what he yells in the dubbed version is, "Cheater.." so glad yall reacted to this!!!

This and the first Predator are my favorites. My fiance is Native American and she really appreciated how the Native American characters were presented. It was also just a good movie in general.

This was the best Predator movie ever. No cap. The overall concept, the score, the cinematography, the acting, and the fight scenes, were all so original, that I don't think any other Predator movie can touch it. Lots of callbacks to the previous Predator movies as well. And the best part is they made the fiercest warrior a female. I think that was a gutsy and much-needed twist to the Predator series. And the doggo lived !!!!!!

The woman's tomahawk on a rope is a variation of the medieval Okinawan weapon: the kusarigama, a kama (or small scythe originally used for farming) with a length of chain attached to the base of the handle. The other end of the chain ended in a weighted ball. It was used to either entangle the sword blade or arms of an attacker. The kama would then be used to attack. Another variation would be to throw the kama (like the woman does) while holding the chain... not looking to impale the opponent, but to possibly cut/slice them from a distance.

I came to the conclusion that whoever dislikes this movie can't be my friend. :P I was around 9 when my dad bought our first VCR as a present to me and my brother, and Predator was one of the first movies I ever rented, back in the summer of 1990. Predators was ok as was Predator 2 but as Aaron Ramsey would say "Finally some good fªcking Predator."

This movie is the Rouge One of the Predator franchise. Only way for me to describe how it's the best movie clearly but like predator 1, empire strikes back has that nostalgic aspect that makes it the best. I mean it's empire, but Rouge One is clearly the better film to me. That's how I feel with this film. I love it more then predator 1, but the first one is so iconic and nostalgic, I have a hard time saying it's better then the original haha Idk if that makes sense but it does to me 🤣

Watching predators fight humans in ancient parts of history is waaaay more fascinating than just watching them fight dudes with guns. After Predator 1987 with Arnie, they didn't need to do Predator vs dudes with guns. They should do a follow up with a Predator against Knights, Samurais, or have one be a gladiatorial champion in the Roman Collesium, that would be awesome. So instead of sending gladiators to fight a lion or a tiger, the beast could be a predator. Would be an awesome film.

I loved it, I loved that it brought up Easter eggs from previous predator movies. Like the gun the guy gave her and showed her, which is the same guy that was given to Danny Glovers character in predator 2 when he defeated that one and the other came in to get his body. Then the predator gave him that same guy as a reward for defeating his comrade.

You guys are great! This is my first time finding you, I love Prey so much I'm watching almost any reactor that pops up. This film is AS good as the first film, and BETTER as far as character-driven drama, vs. the first one being Arnold-80s-action-sci-fi. Personally they could have replaced the Predator with any other supernatural or extra-terrestrial creature for Naru to fight and the story would've been just as good - it's like they took the idea of making a Predator sequel, but someone really fucking cared about telling a good story, and doing it right. And this film is historic: the first ever to be available entirely in the Comanche language. I've watched it four times so far, always in Comanche - I recommend it; it is actually more immersive that seeing them speaking modern American English. The entire cast came back and dubbed all their lines in Comanche for it. On top of all that, the film addresses both gender roles (that shot of her walking the opposite way as every other woman in her tribe) and colonialism (it wasn't the Predator who killed all those buffalo, but Europeans), while never feeling preachy, and delivering on powerful action and powerful drama. My favorite film of 2022 and the last few years. It SUCKS it didn't get a theatrical release! I want to see it with an audience on a big screen. With how well it's doing I'm holding out hope that 20th will give it a limited release. Thanks guys for your take, I'm going to subscribe to your Patreon so I can see your full length reaction of this.

The working fan theory is that Feral (this predator) is a member of Grey back's (the elder from Predator 2) clan. He has subspecies on his ship in predator 2. (That yautja'e name is Scout)and the gun that french man gave to Naru is the same one from the end of Predator 2 that Greyback gave to Harrigan. You take all that plus the fact that the end credits shows more Yautja ships coming back and you can infer it was probably Greyback coming to collect Feral's body and Naru probably exchanged the gun with him or some other similar situation which would lead to him having it to give to Harrigan
