Agreed. Hopefully it is good tho like i said I would really like to eat my words on the design and the movie overall. I want another predator movie that is timeless like 1 and 2. 3 is fine, but find myself watching 1 and 2 more than the rest

I think the big questions this design brings up is hw does it work and how does this yautja hunt.
It lacks certain features, weapons and arnsenal so what does it do to compensate. which i hope they the director/script answers becuase that answer can be very very sophisticated.
But if they fail at explaining it, then I think they just take the simpler (killer is a god route).
Not sure if humanizing this predators efforts would make this film a horror film because then you might ‘feel’ for the predator which is something we don’t want.
These scenerio makes this film all the more intriguing!
Some things I observed from watching the trailer on slow-mo:
- Pred has a spear of some kind; you can see it chase someone and impale a tree next to them. Its pointed at the tip, not quite as long as a combi.
- It does appear to have some kind of sword or machete-like blade on its back. Its not the spear, as the pummels are shaped differently, and this one looks like a machete handle.
- There a really cool scene with the Pred pinning someone against a tree with one hand, blocks an incoming tomahawk with his wrist blades on its other hand, flings it up out of the guy’s hand, catches it as it falls, and nails the guy with it.
- Left wrist thingy can form a circular shield that cover a little more than a third of the body.
Also, you can see more of the face near the end here. I blew it up and brightened it, it’s not perfect but you can see it opening it’s mandibles as it’s charging. Looks…very different than a typical Yautja, imo

His upper mandibles look much larger than then bottoms. Just saying. or that it has a more vertical arrangement.
I’m still wondering what makes him go cloak. If there is an actual gauntlet or device that does this.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this film leads to a tv show. Seems like the trend now a days with this film leading ahead of the Aliens tv series.

Idk what the explanation is going to be about him having less tech but I do know preds use less tech against opponents that would be at a major disadvantage so they can have a worthy battle other than that could be that they don’t have the tech for the caster yet at least according to the director but we’ll see what their explanation is soon enough.
someone at Fox really likes this idea of removing all the cool decorations, netting, and platings & just having them in a lioncloth and bracelets.
They did it with Upgrade and they’re going to keep doing it.
I hope they bring back the stupid ping pong ball of invisibility

Yea lets jus hope the face and mandables don’t fuck up what the rest of the design got right and if it does it will seem like its a one or the other scenario like “well would you rather have a good predator movie with a shitty design or a good design with a shitty movie” instead if jus having a tried and true deaign coupled with a badass movie. Example would be if they just made the movie of the flintlock that would of easily been a top predator movie hands down
Yea it seems we share the sane feelings about the designers or directors needs to change the base design instead if fixing what was the problem with the other not so good movies which is the story and execution of the story

Made a gif and slowed it down. I think its unmasked.
dontt waste your time. You can barely see it. At this point, just wait for release and chill.
Even removed the deco from the dreads, its basically just a leathery looking guy with a skull on his head.
almost feels like they made a “legally distinct” predator for lawsuit reasons
But it’s fun
Especially without a PC 😁
Too bad I don’t like Disney having the ip they got the caca touch everything they touch turns to shit

Was cloak under mind control in previous movies? It never shows Peed pressing anything on the gauntlet. Also, PC seemed to be controlled by the biomask, but also had to be under mind control, no?
According to The Predator (your milage may vary) its a little ping pong ball in the gauntlet.
Its the thing sniperman swallows at the beginning and uses it to cloak at the end of the film if im remembering that fever dream movie right

stop using code, wtf are youtalking about?
i recall we only see predators tapping tthe gauntlet to uncloak most of the time in the movies.
We also see using it using the gaunts.
This could be just energy depletion
