Prey review

It’s hard to say. There’s direct evidence that women in the Comanche tribes hunted small game with bows, slings, etc. and that they would have at least known how to ride a horse and been mounted by 1730 (movie is 1719). Also every single neighboring tribe to the Comanche including the tribes that the Comanche came from had women warriors, so there’s some circumstantial evidence it was possible in that yes, they should have known some weapons, and there are occasionally women warriors in their neighbors.

There’s also a bit more flexibility in gender norms than we tend to give them credit for because we think a lot of stuff is more recent than it is. A lot of peoples did not think in European terms as far as all that goes, for example all plains Native Americans, including the Comanche were known to have people born as males that lived their lives as women which we’d today call trans, though wouldn’t have been at all a political thing at the time, just a thing that happened, these women would mostly have been priestesses, and prior to a large-scale raid or hunt there would have been one after another un-married warriors visiting them for about 30 minutes, lol. It’s not until you get farther north and farther west that there are equivalent of people born as females that live their life as men, in terms of historical evidence, but that did also happen among Native Americans, just no evidence among the Comanche.

But yes, you can find women warriors among even very patriarchal tribes

In other words you can have a character be badass in the first movie

And Ripley had trouble killing a single alien

I gotta admit, first (and only) time I hunted a deer, I shot it in the hind quarters and and my step-dad had to kill it when we caught back up to it. I only hunted quail after that because if you hit them, they’re dead, no making the guy suffer for a couple hours.

My solution for a Predator would be to not have a weapon

Anyway, the more I think about it , if the tribe was so progressive ? Isnt the point made in the trailer , that she is told not to fight etc? And if they were so progressive why would it be “against gender norms” to want to hunt/fight? Isnt she even asked why does she want to hunt? Maybe the actual tribes were progressive, but in this movie clearly they aren’t? Or am I just crazy

They cant have it both ways , they are progressive , but have the point of their movie being she is told not to do the progressive things?

@DPRK_Chopra

In the context of aliens yes

In fact deer are harder since they run away.

It’s called being “historically inaccurate”

Sarcasm aside that how they’re supposedly in real life, not in the movie.

Just because there were women warriors sometimes doesn’t mean it was common. It can be both a thing that wasn’t normal but also wasn’t unheard of. Overall, the further south and the further east you go in the Plains, the less-equal women were.

They definitely weren’t “progressive” as we’d call it today but they also had some things that we’d consider that way. You can’t really apply modern political terms to things from over 300 years ago and expect to get a 1-to-1 analogue.

They weren’t so hierarchical and even the lowest were cared for and not even the chiefs were obscenely wealthy. If you wanna apply modern day politics stuff then that’s progressive I guess, but it’s really not something you should apply because their entire way of life was so different that you just shouldn’t be trying to paste on modern-day politics to their way of life.

FORTNITE FUCK YEAHHHHHH

Now listen here you lumbridge rat! I will have no cursing under my roof do you hear me Billy boy! Frick yes! Frick yes.

hey mass your mom’s rated E for Everyone

lmao stop.

Hey its not about killing the cgi deer.

I think your reaction was supposed to be “S-SHE’S FAST” while she does anime moves and slides under like 3 logs trying to catch a deer on foot showcasing the (((theatre worthy))) choreography. Her aim will be spec ops tier by the end of the movie since since she practices her rope axe fatalities on a tree, so its fine. She’s painting with all the colors of the wind.

This fucking guy is crazier than the rest of us 👉🏻

really just gave me a mental image of a xeno being unable to catch a deer

Nah man. Star Wars has all these creepy old men in the desert, whiny Cloudkicker brothers or whatever they are, midgets and puppets and robots and other weirdos with their flashlight swords and shit. Its boring. But Rey? Rey is the savior of the franchise.
