Itâs not the first time that this was visited in the Predator series.
Done around the late 80s-90s. Not to mention stories like in Predator South China Sea had a hoverboard that shot out light energy that incinerated anything in its path.
I donât see the Predator doing jokes itself, and the last time it was visited, it was genuine dark humor like in that one deleted scene from AVP where Scar gave Lex a jump scare of the dead xenomorphsâ secondary jaws getting activated via muscle twitch.
Plus, the Predator series always had some humor in it, I mean look at the first two films. Especially Bill Paxtonâs work in the second one.
New variant? You mean the Predator Chief? I donât see it different from the Elder or Ancient Predator. Itâs also words from people who arenât deep into the series too so itâs just words they are using to describe the best they can. Itâs why I was confused with the âhuman gangs with laser riflesâ cuz how can there be gangs in a death alien world unless they confused gangs with mercenaries. We did have someone erroneously describe the T-Rex in the new JW Rebirth film to be able to breath fire, so I expect some wording to not be correct either.
