Lemme get off work & I’ll see what I can do. I did take bio chemistry as well as many cellular biology classes.

Agreed. There needs to be a medium for all of this to happen in. I’m not too familiar about specifics tho so let’s wait for @TheSenate’s take.
There might also be a need for ATP or other substrates which would be harder if not impossible to make this work in a dead cell.
So yeah, it may happen initially, though still unlikely, but it should not last.

srsly
JH gets grazed and heals up, CH doesnt just jump in blindly swinging at the slaughterhouse. They’re portrayed as having a brain and understanding slight mistakes and injuries can mess them up so they do everything right on their end until they get ambushed because its a h u n t.
This guy just brawls despite being terrible at it and gets all kinds of fucked up and thats before people start peircing the entirety of his body with spears and arrows & he just never learns since he’s a braindead walking kebab. The smartest thing he did the whole movie was run away from the guy styling on him with a stick.
literally the only thing that didnt injure him was a SNAKE

“literally the only thing that didnt injure him was a SNAKE”
Unfortunately that’s inaccurate. In a deleted scene he cut himself while taking its spine, but it was cut for runtime. Dan T personally confirmed to me that even though it was cut, it is still canon. Totally legit, absolutely unquestionably true.

His approach is questionable, but it’s not his first rodeo and I’d say that injury is acceptable if he comes out on top in the end. He wins with some skill, some durability. Brother was skilled so I’ll give him that. Also i think it makes some sense that Naru is not the only one able to defeat him. For the most part, Feral used his brawn. This fits with his fighting style. Naru outsmarted him, which is kinda fair cause he definitely shouldn’t be able to stand up to him physically.
Also i think Feral will pretty much one shot anybody who he touches, except maybe the bear. That’s why brother and Naru and basically unharmed for the fight and when brother is nicked, its a deathblow.
Only thing humans had on Feral was speed (brother) and intellect (Naru)

Its all durability he’s just Upgrade again
One of his first encounters is standing infront of a firing line and taking an arrow straight to the chest
As as he comes out standing on the end it’s a win. Not typical pred, but I’m sure it’s intimidating when you give him best shot and he goes ‘is that it?’. Different type of fear, as opposed to the cloak, which wasn’t really doing it this time around.
I could say the same about Nemesis in RE but then its not really the same monster fundamentally anymore.
you have a walking brawling zombie pin cushion.
Same issue with Upgrade being bulletproof.

Granted. That’s the approach the took with him. Bulky, durable, melee skilled.
It is canon
Why do people keep trying to act as if the majority of comics aren’t canon? I know like the batman ones aren’t but I still think the majority are, right?
But he did one shot it with a single punch. Sure wrestled it but when it charged all it took was one punch. When it comes to Naru though it goes back to the same old trope of throwing them.

Nope:
the “canon” is represented only by the movies,
all the rest is Expanded Universe, so not canon: comics, videogames, book, etc, nothing is canonical except the movies.
This was also proved by the recent movie Prey:
the pistol that Elder has was present in the movie, and the pistol’s origin is DIFFERENT from comic in which Elder gets it (Predator 1718).
Don’t get me wrong, I love the expanded universe (as you can see from my profile pic), some stuff there it’s even better than the movies, but they are not canon, despite all the informations they give.

They need to make Ahab and a few other comic predators canon. Like let them make a cameo or something.

Yeah Ahab has a great story, and I will always consider Life and Death and Fire and Stone canonical in my “ideal canon”, even if they are not.
Everyone’s free to have theirs, important thing is knowing the truth.
I can agree, I will keep comics canon to me even though I now know they aren’t actually canon.

Yeah, stuff like that happens in other movie. The ‘villain’ will be tossing the the ‘hero’ around until it bites him in the ass.

Yeah this happens in basically all media ever. The Villain could reasonably just choke someone out or punch them to death but they start tossing them around. It’s a trope as old as time itself. At least Yautja have canonical precedence for this since they can become very sadistic & arrogant and like to drag some kills out because of their superiority complex. Though to be completely fair to Feral, when he did get Naru in the chokehold and slammed her down, the only thing that saved her from death was quick thinking by kicking against the floor to get her head between some rocks that stopped the Shield.

Due to it being a film franchise and Predator not having a designated writer.
Just a bunch of randos that want to rewrite them everytime, plus its all so disconnected to begin with
