News about Prey 2022

TBF Dark was seemingly around the same age as City but managed to skip right over the Youngblood & Blooded Ranks straight to Elite so age don’t matter too much, its all about personal skill & the ability to get their hormones under control since the Males typical weakness is that they are Adrenaline Junkies who get super cocky.

Considering Feral isn’t using a Plasma Caster & is going in with a Sword, Combi & Shield he’s definitely gonna be the kinda guy to jump inbetween like 20 dudes and take 'em on. Since even City did that, hell he did it like three times throughout the movie.

Fair but wouldn’t it be even easier for a predator earlier in history to jump in between and kill 20 people since the weaponry humans had wasn’t vey advanced

Depends on the power scaling. Preds have died to Bears. Feral killed a Bear with just his own two hands in the trailer. Some Preds have also went & fought Superman, which puts them on Planet Buster levels at minimum. Feral obviously ain’t gonna be cracking the Earth in this movie.

Even more recently we know that canonically the Viking Predator did die to a Human Viking warrior, because Valkyrie showed up to avenge him. Considering Viking is like twice the muscle mass of Feral from what we seen and is even more armored, that’s an impressive feat for whichever Human did it.

I am expecting Feral to be around the level of City Hunter, who did of course die in CQC with Harrigan. Though I suspect (and hope) that Feral’s death comes in the form of a callback to Jungle’s death. At the hands of multiple Traps & Ambush Tactics.

You always have to remember that Power Scaling is a thing in pretty much every franchise. Some are gonna be physical Gods, others are gonna job to Animals. Its the nature of storytelling & showing different individuals in a series. No different from the Saiyans really.

Some Preds die in combat with Earth Animals.

Some Preds go to throw hands with dudes who can move faster than light & benchpress a Planet.

I think so too on the Medpack only because they said there wasn’t gonna be a plasma shoulder canon. However your back scar might have been a punishment inflicting wound🤷🏻

I thought the same too! Reason why I say javelin instead of Combistick is because there seems to be only one pointy end as the other is very blunt so could be a variant of the Combistick

@Madisyn_Skye & @HonorWarrior

I HAVE A THEORY!!! THE WEAPON ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HIM ISN’T A RETRACTIBLE SWORD….ITS A RIFLE!!!

Okay here me out, Predators using gun like weapons isn’t that uncommon with Predators like the Lost Tribe “Scout” & Prince using a spear like rifle. This is actually tying the theory of “The Island” more and more, mainly because on that Island not only where the Predator experimented on to create more variants of Yautja’s, but also to train them in the arts of projectiles and stealth which this Predator does a lot of. Again still a working theory but on the back you can clearly see a trigger on the weapon and maybe just like Scouts Rifle it transforms to become a object that’s more easier to run around with while having free hands.

Well canonically I wouldn’t place the predator that fought Superman on the list but yeah the one that does to the bear was fighting hand to hand so it would be more difficult but using weapons against multiple humans same as CH I think I’d be easier for him but your right that it also depends on their power level. Like wolf fought the predalien to a stalemate in hand to hand but that pred died to a bear

That would make sense with the laser. He doesn’t/can’t use the caster but can link the laser targeting with a different weapon.

Neat. Now watch the forums explode for months after the film asking for this weapon and nothing happens. Or it does and it sucks.

That’s a ridiculously inconsistent power scaling lol

……fuck I did it again didn’t I?

Welcome to fictional media. This kinda shit is everywhere. Its why ya work on an individual basis when ya can and judge each character by their own.

Yup I see a “trigger-like thing” too, buuuut I don’t believe it’s a rifle,
it would of course make sense, but if the director wanted to get rid of the plasma because of the setting and the type of hunter he is, then I don’t know if a rifle would be a fitting replacement

maybe the trigger opens the sword, looking similar to the one of Lost/Borg, but more rudimental.

Now how would they fair against Vergil?

Pretty much none of the Preds we’ve ever seen could beat Vergil. Vergil has access to Yamato which alone wins any fight with a Predator because it is sharp enough to cut through reality, create black holes & also he can Teleport which is instant movement. Even if a Predator who was as fast as light went up against him, Vergil can legit just be anywhere instantly so always has the speed advantage.

Already I stopped reading, I don’t subscribe to culture war bullshit, thank you.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed this, is it possible that this could be the speargun we been asking for? Honestly I hope so! What I also do wonder is that combistick, the heavier end looks like it got some hidden tricks that I’m curious to see how it will play out in the film.

I mean I think that’s all it can be, a spear gun and that might be what the pack on his right shoulder is for his ammunition. However the Combistick on his waist looks like a Javelin or a modified Combistick with one end being sharp and the other being a blunt like mace or hammer end.

It looks blunt but also looks like it could have some retractable tips

Ok so to finally put this shit down into the dust and let it die there, Trachtenberg talks about the foundations of the film, how the cast were put through a bootcamp, how to root it in first Predator but make it new. He says that Prey isn’t a prequel as such – it’s just set prior to Predator

“I want to specifically say this, because I think there’s been some confusion how people have understood: in my mind, this is not a prequel movie, this isn’t, ‘Let’s tell the origin of the Predator.’ This is really something that’s set prior to the original Predator movie. And the Predator creature in this one, this is its first time travelling to Earth.”

So basically this is Feral’s first time hunting humans, first rodeo here on Earth. Not JH or any other Predator.

Edit: Seems like someone also analyzed the weapon and think its also the speargun or at least a type of rifle
