So as you know we finally are in agreement that Predator 2018 is not canon but interesting enough the Alpha still is, though he is the ancestor of the Hish-qu-Ten, distant cousins of the Yautja but less honorable, this puts to rest and that the Yautja have a mysterious origins but know from AVP they have influenced human civilizations

If “the predator” 2018 isn’t cannon, how do you figure avp is?

Who’s “we”?
This sparsely populated forum does not constitute the authority on all things Predator related, and I don’t count that Alpha nonsense as being relevant anyway.
Alpha is still just a janky plastic figure with a backstory scribbled by a toy company to try and sell it to gullible folks.

It’s not a bad story though. I dig how it ties the original aborted predator design to the lore.

Well, put up against the 2018 movie and some of the comics, then yes, it’s not too bad. My problem with a lot of these fanciful backstories is they tend to drain the mystique of the original concept. It’s like what has happened to the Alien - gone from being this ominous, unknowable creature, to being a biological weapon cooked up by some bald albino guys and a Peter O’Toole obsessed android.

I agree there. I was content with the preds just being a race of long lived space faring tribes of trophy hunters. Needs no more explanation than that.

Ok… Eldi… calm the fuck down for a moment
We all new that the day after premier
Alpha is canon, he is an enhanced Hish (no foreign DNA bullshit!!! Selective breeding and chem enhancing) and he is the leader of the first Yautja hunting party. Its not been shit out of nowhere - claims that pred tech is being developed for them by enslaved insectoidal race have been around for years now. Why is this subject so painful to you?! And don’t you dare hashtaging me again saying “game is not canon quz Noktrum said so” !!!
Some time ago I have came across claims that pred tech is not their own, but stolen or developed by, this is interesting, insectoidal race… so Alpha bacstory is actually very much lore accurate. Back then no body called them Amengi and no one said they looked like Van Dam’s first costume XDDDDD
The Predators (2018) is canon to the game and the franchise.
That doesn’t mean the humans speculation is accurate lore to the Yautja, it’s all assumed, nothing is demonstrated or proven.
- Global warming is speculation.
- Collecting and modifying themselves using the trophy’s they take ie. spines, is also speculation.
- The autism stuff is all speculation, I’d speculate he wanted to take the boy because of his knowledge of their language not his autism directly.
Fact - the Fugitive is at least partially human or has sequences of human DNA. (This is complicated, humans are 98% the same as fruit flies, which mean he has DNA from earth, not necessarily a human.) He could be a cross breed or the result of an experiment, neither is demonstrated or proven.
Seems like we wouldn’t have to retcon very much to fix it. Just the last or bonus scene of the Pred killer armour.
So you are saying that pred Iron man suit, that was given to humans by Jesus Saviour Predator (who arguably slaughtered more ppl in this movie than Assassin mutant pred did) to fight of an invasion of thousands if not millions of Yautjas (a single one fucking suit) invasion happening to take over this planet AFTER it will be uninhabitable for humans anyway… you are saying this nonsense is now canon?
No… its not,
I’m sorry but its simply not. Just because Shane Black fucked an aardvark in the face with a chain saw, had a wet dream following that controversial event and came up with the most retarded story ever told in human history, dose not mean we have to treat it as canon. The Predator is in its own universe or at the best AVP universe, though fans of those films will probably strongly disagree

The movie should had been the original script, would had been better then what we got
Reread what I said, the only fact was the one Pred had DNA from earth, the rest was speculation by human characters who could be very wrong.
Sweet baby Jesus on a bread stick… in the original script AssMuta “Predator” attacked humans with pred-monkeys and pred-spiders. Humans responded with two Yautjas dressed in camo pants and armed with assault rifles (dare I mention they were driving a tank?) Now after reading this please go re-watch the first and second movie, than tell me what’s wrong with the original The Predator script…
I know that 2018 movie was shit, but the original version of this movie was much worst…
Slasher_Clone - the only SOLID fact is this movie is so stupid and shit we should not consider it canon or even remotly connected to the univeres of Predator franchise
We don’t pick, Fox (Disney does).

Fuck them with an aardvark in the face - we are the fan base. If we will show STRONG dissaproval for bulshit like Predator 2018, then they won’t dare to make another one like that. This movie lost shit tone of money, it will not get a seaquel (thanks God!) so if ther’s going to be anoter instalment, it will not be conected to this retarded story. There fore its up to us to show those idiots (Disnay) what we want and what we don’t want. Otherwise we will end up with am even dummer movie
EDIT: speaking fucking off :
We are all fucked…
Hey man, I only liked the part were they explained not all predators uses genetic alterations.
They should make Predator holo tapes
