I was watching Predator when my wife came home from work.
She’s confused and burst out laughing because the first thing she sees is Dutch yelling from the tree top.
“Why is Arnold Schwarzenegger holding a torch while covered in mud and doing Tarzan yell?!? That’s amazing!”
I’m actually pretty jealous because that’s an amazingly bad ass, ridiculous, and insane thing to see for the first time with zero context.
We ended up watching the whole movie but nothing will top her reaction to watching that clip for the first time.
Hi everybody,
I've heard a lot about how non-Bad Blood Yautjas follow an honor code, and we've seen several moments in the movies that seem to confirm this idea.
But I feel like this concept is being forced onto the audience—not only does it go against their true nature and hunting style, but it also contradicts how the directors actually portray them. It’s as if we’re just being told to accept that they’re honorable, even though the execution doesn’t support it.
Think about it—they exploit every possible disadvantage their prey or opponents have. They attack from stealth, make themselves invisible, wear strong bulletproof armor, and use metallurgy so advanced that our steel looks like wood in comparison. They set traps, lock onto targets from a distance, and fire plasma cannons that can penetrate anything, etc.
How exactly does any of that make them honorable fighters?!
Sure, they have weaknesses, and we’ve seen them get killed plenty of times. But it’s like dropping a fully armed modern soldier into an ancient jungle tribe—he might eventually die, but not before taking out hundreds of them.
Honestly, almost anyone could be that "scary hunter" if they had such advanced technology.
And I’d even argue that when they go 1v1 and drop their weapons, it’s not necessarily about honor—it seems more like arrogance and pride to me.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of the Predator franchise, but I just can’t fully buy into this whole "Yautjas are honorable warriors" idea that many fans keep pushing.
I think Yautjas are just as attached to their technology as we are. We can hunt elephants because we have guns, not because we’re physically superior.
The essence of intelligence and what makes a species dominant isn’t fighting like wild animals—it’s finding ways to outthink and outmaneuver opponents. Sure, charging in with claws and brute force is a straightforward approach, but for an advanced species, that’s just primitive. Using an opponent’s disadvantages is what makes them truly terrifying and cool.
For example, King Kong from the MonsterVerse is a great example of an honorable, animalistic beast—you can form an emotional connection with him even as he destroys cities. But Yautjas don’t have that same kind of honor. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only time we’ve seen a semi-dramatic connection with a Yautja was in Alien vs. Predator with Scar. That’s just how the directors have chosen to portray them so far. If the argument is that Predator movies shouldn’t have emotional drama, then we shouldn’t pretend that Yautjas are honorable. However, if future movies take a different approach—expanding the universe, having Yautjas form deeper connections with humans, maybe even talking to them—then it would make more sense to call them honorable. But honestly, I think most fans, including myself, wouldn’t enjoy that shift. Yautjas should stay terrifying hunters who make you feel like you’re always at a disadvantage—nothing more, nothing less.
Really interested to hear your thoughts on this!
The lesson: don’t trust reviews, only buy from stores you’re familiar with.
I bought a NECA Feral Predator for my son’s b’day and received an obvious fake (in a damaged box). The seller also made the return difficult so I had to go through eBay to get a label.
I left a negative review and it was removed within an hour. I appealed to eBay who sided with the seller with a very weak argument about me asking for them to step in too early to help with the return. They would not let me leave a new review that only mentioned the fake.
The seller now only has positive reviews for this item with lots of ‘It’s legit’ comments. Don’t be a sucker like me.
I just want a yautja with a lightsaber. That’s all
Need help finding a deleted scene from Alien vs. Predator(2004). I found out when they released the unrated edition in America and Europe, they both came with one exclusive deleted scene each. All deleted scenes are available online, including the exclusive one from Europe. The one from America, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found. It's an alternate scene of Miller getting captured by the Xenomorphs. It's set much later in the movie. Been trying to find it for years, with no luck. I'm from Norway, so I can't just buy the American version. Can anybody help? Any suggestions? The scene is called: Miller gets caught.
The picture included is from the scene
Hey me and my partner have just watched Jurassic Park 1 and 2 with drinking games and want to rewatch Predator 2018 as a drinking game was wondering if anyone had any good drinking ideas for it?
🫶🏽
For me it's wolf predator definitely he was severely underused in his own crossover movie but I'd create a show like "primal" about wolfs origins how he became so experienced and badass or even a movie.
The 4K version of this film is 😘🤌🏾 is so good. I recently got the box set for my bday.
Thank you btw!
For the warm welcome and liking my edits I have a lot 😅 I’ve been working a lot on them to get better and improve.
The homies are unsure if I should unbox vro,what do you guys think?
Dexter edits have been booming lately. This song was in my head 24/7 so I gave it a good old college try with our boy Feral here. 🥹 I hope it came out good.
I think it looks decent
maybe it's like the movie Clerks, but on the predator planet.
for some reason when i was watching one of the movies it made me think, they can't all be hunters, some of them have to be dishwashers, accountants, real estate agents, engineers...etc
i want to know what their lives are like, how they met their spouses, i want to see one of them negotiating a raise at work, a parent getting a phone call from their kids school because the kid was skipping class.
A predator pissed off because they are stuck in morning rush hour traffic. Maybe watch a predator in therapy for something unrelated to hunting.
Perhaps make it an homage to 1980s sitcoms and do it in that style, toss in a laugh track, but make sure the makeup and costumes are movie grade. Toss in an Urkel character, why not.
Messed around with some AI tools to create this. Always thought it would be cool to see a Predator movie set in ancient japan...https://youtu.be/1Yv4LkNyTY0?si=K9JyAMHM-Yesib0A
Definitely a low bar, but he was the best part of the movie. Still pissed that the movie wasn’t about him.
