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.
My issue with the way the new Yautja look
Couple things to comment on
Aren’t indents supposed to help with blocking the sun?
A. The original design wasn’t ugly you ugly motherfucker :p
B. Was it for the rubbery and less realistic look or another reason?
I have to disagree. Sub species should be used, in most situations, as ways to explore different possibilities with the same creature.
Besides you name wolf and dogs, I name huskies and pugs.
Plus spiders vary a lot I believe. At least to the extent of preds.
What artist could resist that temptation? To add your own flair and design to a beloved franchise.
The new pred design kinda bothered me at first but it was because it was so animalistic and demonic looking. But after watching the movie, I can see why they went with that bone mask and rugged design, as it fits the theme of the film.
Our skulls, absolutely. The frontal comparison doesn’t do it justice.
And who the hell cares about your bullshit?
Interesting
I’m thinking chinese knockoff predator was due to the lawsuit. They just had an interchangeable invisible movie monster and could flip it last second if neccessary.
They could say it looks nothing like the original if they had to and they even went out of their way to change the cloak, mask, dreads, ditched all the decorations, netting, removed its signature weapon, even the clicking isn’t right.
or its just that bad and preds will just get worse who knows
They changed it because you deserve it. Kind of like the Predator 2 Scout Figure Ultimate NECa figure. Look - so original! This way he doesn’t have to chew. He just swallows.
BRAIN DAMAGE
Maybe that is why this Yautja is such a moron.
yeah if you removed all of his armor and decorations so you can’t really tell what its supposed to be besides a humanoid movie monster with dreadlocks
i mean like if Feral looked exactly like the Scout Figure Ultimate people would be mad at the lack of originality. besides anyways, people here have little to no taste anyhow.
Well they modeled feral after your looks bro.
XD
Haha~
My dude, this movie was about a monster from space that turns people’s butt’s inside out. Maybe the Alien should kinda look alien to us.
Kinda like xenomorphs look very different. Deacons, neomorph, predalien, etc.
I think this is just a new and/or extinct Predator species. Hate it, love it, whatever, let the creators have creative freedom and re-imagine characters how they best think it works for them. Nothing worse than having restraint from fans and/or studios as to what content one can create/modify.
Xenomorphs and Yautja are not similar in the slightest.
