What’s unique about the hemispheres of Yautja prime?
Prey predator design
That was my point I made that the JH, CH, elder, wolf, Celtic, scar, etc were different but the same as far as base design. My question is at what point is it just changing the iconic look?

Hell if I know. I’m just giving the director the benefit of the doubt for his statements about the look of his Pred, based on the diversity of the numerous species found on earth. No doubt, through either natural evolution or genetic manipulation, the Yautja species would have similar diversities, no?
Do you mean physical look, like its body/head? Or its armor? I see the argument, as with humans while we do look very different depending on where we’re from, at our core we are all the same in design. I’m just trying to expand on that based on assumption, like, what if Prey’s Pred comes from a genetic offshoot of the rest? Same thing with the human ancestors, there are so many variations and offshoots and evolution paths that were taken. Some were huge, some were small, some had different skull shapes, larger eyes, etc. The same could be applied to the Yautja, in theory.

Yes. It’s just that it’s hanging in the air not really given a proper explanation.
Maybe I’m making stuff up, but for humans perhaps it was the sun that dictated skin pigmentation and environment and diet dictated physical appearance. If they already mention the hemisphere, they should give a little more insight. Lazy writing
Which is making that “Island” theory alittle more possible

Very close. 99% of species division is genetics. Color, bone structure, appearance, etc. Its all based on DNA, chromosomes, alleles, and whatnot. Outside influence accounts for that missing 1%, and that’s what causes variance in the evolutions, which does include climate, diet, other species interactions, etc. It also boils down to “survival of the fittest”, meaning those with superior survival attributes have better genetics, and while the inferior die off, the superior will breed and pass on their genetics and over time that species will gain physical attributes that will better suit them for their environment. And this is all evident in all animals, so in theory that must also apply to creatures off-world, like the Yautja.
Either way…yeah, lazy writing. I’m sure there will be more interviews that will shed light on the new Pred, or maybe even an art book. Cuz its sure not getting explained in the film lol.

I hope they do give s little more information cause it’s not like Feral will tell us😁
How much influence do random mutations have? Are they a part of the outside 1% or are they their own category?
Mm, yeah, I can see that. I know they “supposedly” hate one another but hey, I’d imagine not everyone hates everyone.

Oh they hate each other to the bone, however some Super Predators or Hybrids are somewhat kind, even showing Honorable traits

It already is changing the iconic look. My question is how is that a bad thing?

Yes exactly that the core design can stay but add suttle differences. Hasnt that been the case with most predators weve seen? From JH all the way to wolf and the supers being the same but different where thier face was somewhat different but the base design was similar.
Im holding off 100% judgement til i see it all tho becaus the rest they got good. My gripes not with the armor or anything because that can change it was mainly with the the director admitting he changed the head and face for proportional reasons then the dreds mandables etc. Its gonna be a hit or miss at least imo
Because then why be predator movie at all if every director in the future will jus put thier “stamp” on thier version of the predator. Might as well be like that bootleg alien vs hunter knock off since the idea was basically the same but the base design was different.

Because the predator universe is alive.
Not every predator is the same and that’s what makes it great.
Imagine if every character was a Machiko.
Or if every pred was just JH. Even if the design is changed the universe is more flat.
No ghost
No predator hunters
No predators
This diversity adds to the life the of the franchise
If it had the license ya. But that’s the thing, being different is bad, but being different isn’t also good.
It depends on the idea and the execution.
That rip off is bad. So is the predator.
But ghost was good. So was the first Machiko comic.
1st off what dies machiko have to do witj the predator design? And second i think you missed my point look at all the predators from the movies…nobody is saying they all have yo be JH otherwise yea that’s flat, but are the rest (minus the supers) the same or different?
Yea it can be good or bad which is why i said the face and all that will be a hit or miss because the rest of the design is spot on but the main focus of my point is the face and we already know the dreds are thin almost like hair which is lame already so the rest sits on the face and mandables. If the mandables suck (like avp) added with the almost hair like dreds then on top of that it doesn’t even look like a predator then that will ruin the whole design…for me at least. As I said many times I’m holding my full judgment til i see it all, but these things have me hesitant to praise it off the bat. If it is a shitty predator design it will feel like a “one or the other” type of deal where its like do you want a good predator movie with a shitty pref design or a badass predator design with a shitty movie.
Which brings it full circle of why they can never get it right either the movies are trash or the designs are trash. If that ends up being the case with this movie ill feel like they coulda played it safe and had this be about part of the elder from P2 story instead of being “bold” and gambling on ppl excepting a change of the iconic predator and again so I’m not misunderstood iconic predator doesn’t mean JH it means the base design.

While not a predator, she’s a good example of how changing up the formula can be good.
No I fully understood that part of your argument.
However this part I missed.
However I still can’t see the hair as a bad thing. Of course you do say
So you admit it’s an opinion, which I respect, but I also can’t agree with my impression.
I will agree though the for me at least the ace can completely ruin the whole design so far it looks great even with the different dreads and mandibles. Only thing that kind looked funny were the legs but it still a great design so far
