My issue with the way the new Yautja look

#33

Greyback was there during that time period and he looks like the jungle hunter so that isn’t it. It’s either just another sub species or it’s a halfbreed of yautja and super pred

The mask could’ve worked. The already have the bone on top of an actual mask so all they needed was a mask that exposes the mandibles on a more classic style face and the bone on top. Preds have all sorts of mask so they could’ve made it work. I don’t mind the faces being a bit different like the city hunter and wolf but the rest have done a little too much in my opinion. Super predators were too bad but I would’ve preferred they looked like what emissary’s face looks like in game.

Hmm, good point. I forgot about Greyback.

This would only make sense if the movie took place millions of years prior. Evolution happens very very slowly over time and the yautja race being able to live 300+ years would take even longer to evolve than it already does. I’d say this could be Trachtenbergs design of a hish-qu ten, but it was a pretty suck ass hish

OK but what is the issue exactly?

Is it that it’s different?

Clearly not

Is it ugly?

Does not make sense?

Art design problem?

Wasn’t this movie based on the predators on the opposite side of the planet and wasn’t supposed to be the yautja design we’ve come to know.

My issue with it is not that it is different, but how different it is. What I mean is that I think it is okay to change the design, again like City Hunter, but they changed the design to a point that it barely looks like a Yautja.

Yup best examples of how they changed and kept the close enough to the jungle hunter was city hunter and wolf.

While opinion is that the classic Preds (1 and 2) are ABSOLUTELY superior in design, I’m not against differences like Feral or the Supers, I expect from breeding and genetic augmentation.

And you don’t have to be against it, this is just me expressing my opinion.

But like I showed in my comment

You clearly stated it’s just bad in general

So you going back on that and saying it has to be the original face design?

And just to clarify, I fully understand that the city hunter face and the JH face fall under the same category where as Feral and supers are a different category. No need to clarify that, we’re on the same page there.

I still think the design of this Yautja looks horrible because of how much they changed it.
And I wasn’t trying to say that they always have to look exactly like the original face design, I was trying to say they should all resemble the original face design, with minor changes that fit what ever the different species it is supposed to be. I hope that is more understandable, and I will keep trying to make my points more clear, also as an attempt to make myself more clear I added drastically change to my original post instead of just change.

Okay, so this argument relies on the older design straight up being better. Why is that? What’s wrong with the new design and what’s right about the old?

Is the new design ugly?

So what your saying is sub-species should look more similar to each other?

To clarify my position, I think the face works with the mask, in synergy, but the new face without the mask fails. I’m just trying to understand the reasoning others have.

honestly think the only problem with the new pred design is just his sunken eyes they look too deep into the skull to me
i know it’s mostly caused due to an illusion caused by the darkness/shade of the eyes to give this appearance but it really does give him a comical almost Neanderthal esc look to him

aside from that though i think he looks fine

I think the older design is better because it felt more real, it felt like something that could actually exist, and it felt like every part of it’s face had a function, I don’t know what most of them would be though. This looks more rubbery and a lot less real than the original, and it has designs that don’t make sense like the weird indent above the eyes. Is it a scar or something? Yes it is ugly, and not in a good way like the originals. Yes sub-species should look similar to one another, I know it is over used but dogs and wolves. I also agree that it does look good with the helmet, but I was talking about how it fails compared to other Yautja unmasked and it is a good example of the creators trying drastically change the design when it’s unnecessary. I hope this answers your questions.
