Will do, I’ll get a bucket for that movie.

I take it after these spoilers, the hype we had for Prey has taken an extreme nosedive? Because that’s how I feel.
Yeah I think you’re right.
It’s been up and down all the way through. Still, it matters how things play out throughout the movie. I havent read any of the spoilers, but even if the ending sucks, that’s only 15 minutes of a 90 minute movie. Of people say that there is hunting, fear, suspense and decent acting, it can still be a ‘B’ product. If anything, it’s probably a major upgrade from The Predator and a step in the right direction.
We all want that ideal version, but perhaps it’s too soon. Maybe the social norms setting sets us up for something more revealing about Pred culture.
It’s not gonna be better than 2 or even 1, but it’ll be leagues ahead of Predators & 2018 is how I’m feeling ATM.
It’s only happened like a dozen of times that 1st movie was topped by any of the subsequent ones.
As for 2, the setting was more familiar. Here with Comanche there’s really nothing for us to relate to besides that they are fighting people and that goes well with the yautja hunting.
I mean I’ve wanted them to move to an anthology style for ages so this is certainly a step in the right direction. Different time periods, different cultures. I want more characters like Cleo to get their own thing, give us something like The Mummy with a Pred or something mixing Ghost of Tsuhima with Pred for a Feudal Japan setting.
It’s just a gun they all had during the colonial days but that would be hilarious lol
Greyback: Hey there it is!
Feral: Hey that’s mine!
Greyback: 🤜🏼 💥
PREY SPOILERS
When Feral corners Naru and is about to kill her, E.T. shows up, chugs a beer
And one taps Feral with the magic alien light up finger.
Before getting back in his ship to continue conquering the entire Yautja species and space.

I hope it does well enough for them to keep making more movies. It’s kinda a niche category.
Seems like it will considering all the reviews & word of mouth so far has been entirely positive, outside of this place.

From all the spoilers say, it’s going to be full of action and the Pred is going to be a badass, and there’s going to be some nice kills and slaughtering. But I mean…the ending. It ruins it. But I suppose if Naru killed the Pred barehanded it would be labeled as woke bullshit, so either way it’s a loss. But if that’s the case, isn’t the ending of Predator 2 woke, because it’s a black man doing the deed? But nobody says shit about that. I don’t know it just…sounds anticlimactic to me. I really liked the idea that Greyback or some Enforcer was going to show up and help, that would have been a better ending. Maybe it works better in motion, maybe something is lost in translation reading about it. I guess we’ll see soon.

Its a 4 to 5 paragraph rundown of a 90 minute movie, of course we have lost like 80% of the context and build up.
It just sounds like Predator 1’s ambush cat & mouse finale mixed with 2’s 3 way meathouse battle. And that stuff works so it don’t sound like a problem.
I know, that’s why I’m holding some benefit of the doubt. But like…the Pred being so stupid to launch something, it backfired and what, his mask? Or something? Just comes back and decaps him? I understand Yautjas are cocky fucks, but come on…
I can see that comparison to 1 and 2, and that sounds awesome, but at least in those movies, ending the Pred was creative. Dutch used a trap that JH missed, bam. Harrigan actually went hand to hand with CH and got the killing blow. Amazing, big balls. But his gauntlet malfunctioning because of his biomask, or something? So Naru really did shit and it was just faulty technology…? 😐
I mean Jungle let a log fall on his head and he screamed like a little girl when he got caught in a net trap.
City tried to blow up half a city block when he was hanging from a 20 foot ledge whilst he and other Yautja can easily jump 50 to 60 feet and land safely.
We don’t even know what it is that kills Feral, just that his Bio-Mask is involved and that checks out.

A loss for Pred is a loss no matter which human does it. Pred should not lose normally. 1 - too cocky, 2 - inexperienced, preds - grenades, lol, 2018 - still haven’t seen, prey - from what @SomeknowmeasXeno wrote it seems like there a lot of chaos so perhaps it’s like the death of Achilles where there was a lot of chaos fair Paris managed to hit the sole of his foot, and we all know that a sole is normally a mortal area when wounded.
Fair points. But the climaxes for those felt more meaty, like more was on the line. This just sounds like a cop out since there’s no real way Naru could have won physically. Which is guess is all they could have done.
I mean Dutch didn’t win physically either. He did the exact same thing Naru is gonna be doing. Harrigan is the only dude on film to win a straight up fist fight with a Pred.
I see your point, Preds shouldn’t win, normally, yes. And that’s fine, it’s expected. I just want their loss to make sense.
