Aliens and Predators Franchise Megathread
- Thread starter Husky_Khan
- Start date
Then female Yajuta would wipe the floor with human female even harder.Unless....made it lesbian love and fighting bad male supremacy?
Could you imagine that - two noble lesbian heroines against hordes of bad males/althought white would be of course worst/
P.S Worst would be of course polish male right-wing white catholics.Dunno,what they could do in 16t century America,but....creators of this piece of "art" would explain that.
I knew - they come to prosecute muslim lgbt jews!
The society of Yautja/Predators is a meritocratic one. As a consequence, it is also a matriarchy. I will let you draw your own conclusion.
My main Woke Worry now that a plot point is challenging Comanche Heteronormativity is I assumed this was taking place in Pre-European times.
Seeing White Folx in the trailer however leads to a possible story which could be an INVERSION of the original Predator film.
In the original Predator an American Special Forces team invaded the lands of some faceless Brown Marxists and slaughtered them in a glorious opening action scene.
Here we might have filthy White people threatening the peaceful Comanche and while I don't think it'll get as Woke as Predator teaming up with Comanche Girl, the tribe could be inadvertently saved from the Whiteys by the Predators hunting.
Bonus points if our Heroine manipulates it to turn out that way.
Wouldn't make the story bad perse, but it would likely turn out pretty cringe if that's a plot point.
There's also the idea that the two diametrically opposed groups actually work together and for bonus points, our Heroine brings them together.
But that would be like clever and original. Having disparate groups of people teaming up to fight Predator was kinda done in Predators but not really. It'd be a first for the franchise.
If I was writing it I'd think the latter would be a novel and fresh way of dealing with the Predator.

Calling it now - the Predator will consider the strong wahman to be "worthy," and rather than taking her skull as a trophy it'll team up with her to slaughter all those evil white men, and as an added bonus, there will be a reference back to the flintlock pistol at the end of Predator 2, by having this hunter take it off the corpse of some white guy it kills.
Though films often ignore expanded universe material (books, comics, et cetera) in many franchises, and that may happen here, the pistol's origin was explored in a comic. https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Greyback#18th_century
The "human being respected/accepted" thing was done in a popular comic/book series with Machiko, and inspiration from that was given to Alexa in the first Alien versus Predator film (2004). However, it didn't go into the "strong wahman" bullshit. Machiko was actually a pretty awesome female lead.
I do think you're right: I have a terrible, terrible feeling that the yautja will "team up" with the 'wahman' to "kill the evil White dudes" threatening her tribe/people.
And it's sad that we have a good chance of predicting that is what's going to happen. Woke is predictable, cancerous, and nonsensical.
I've been hearing good to adequate things about Prey. So much so that I checked local theaters to see if it was playing anywhere before realizing it was released as a Hulu exclusive so it'll remain dead to me.
BUT... has anyone here seen it yet? Is it pretty decent?

I have no idea what it is.
*sighs*
Why would you reply then?
Also... it's like... discussed in the previous posts in this very thread. There's trailers and articles and everything.
But since you CLEARLY only have time to read and write your own posts, I'll summarize the film:
Prey is a biopic on Senator Elizabeth Warren that aired on the streaming platform Hulu. It's not meant to be a straight biography though, some artistic license was apparently taken due to the lack of first hand source material regarding the films story.
It is a decent movie. And to not spoil it. It is what I would call a young non veteran Yautja biting off more than he can chew. When you watch the movie you will see how every decision it makes will lead to it's biggest fuck up.
I can imagine future Yautja telling stories about this idiot and what not to do on your first hunt.
Which was freeking awesome, and I wish I still had my copies!

Good news everyone, we're getting a new Colonial Marines RTS game from the same guys behind Battlefleet Gothic!

Also, there are some weird cyborg-looking humanoid creatures in the trailer which are ignored by xenomorphs.
My theory is humans who’ve been given cybernetic implants to replace the bits of their chest cavity damaged by xenomorph birth, than deliberately infested. Or just had their chestbusters somehow drugged into dormancy. Anyway, point is, the xenomorphs can sense that they’re already infested and consequently defend them as containing their future offspring. Even if they don’t.
‘Aliens: Dark Descent’ Is The ‘Aliens’ RTS Game I Never Knew I Wanted
Aliens: Dark Descent sounds like a cool twist on the RTS formula and looks like a fun, dark tactical game set in the Aliens universe.

Meh, not interested.
We've had so many Alien shooters and real-time tactics games in recent years, especially Fireteam, that it's oversaturated, and I say this as a guy who thought AvP 2 was the best thing since sliced bread (2010 had its charms, especially the Predator's glory kills, but it was markedly inferior to the atmosphere and storyline of 2/PH).
The horror is lost.
What we really need is a game like Isolation again: That game is replayed so many times because of how damn replayable/unpredictable it is, especially if mods are involved which ramp up the Nightmare difficulty even further!
