I’m in.
That looks really cool.
If I had to nitpick, I’d almost prefer it to be subtitled with the Comanche speaking their native tongue…but I understand that’s probably a difficult sell for a film like this.

It looks interesting enough but as we discussed earlier, people with wood spears and bows against a creature with a plasma cannon seems an uneven fight that the Predator would've respected. Even flintlocks by the colonists, I think the Pred would've limited his resources. I hope that's something actually in the film that the trailer just avoided.

Nice. looks like it's gonna be a dense movie. Lots of stuff going on, which can be ambitious, but also real nice if they pulled it off.
CGI look like less than I would have hoped for. Not bad, just less.
[Edit] scratch that, I still thought this was a full up theater film. It's a Hulu original. CGI seems on par with what I'd expect.
If I ever have the opportunity to see it, I'll certainly take a watch.

I think you are both right - I’ll watch it with all the speakers turned up

Weird that they have the Alien Prometheus sounds in the trailer.
It would have made more sense if it had been drawn in by the French Indian Wars, as they are drawn to conflict, not just coming down at random, unless that's what they are going for.

In the AvP comics and books(which only resemble the movies in name BTW), it is mentioned that only experienced hunters can hunt humans. Hunting xenos is done by younger hunters as a ritual rite of passage. Who knows how far this idea goes though, there isn't much of a canon in the Predator universe. Your idea is interesting and could still be valid; perhaps the hunts we've seen are done to test more experienced but still young hunters, see how they do with the honor code and against a sentient, tool-using prey. And perhaps the limitations bit of the code boils down to: if they have projectiles, OK to use projectiles, If they have blades, OK to use blades, etc.
Oh wow, that could be really neat if they do it right.
As a lifelong Predator fanatic, I'm stoked for this. I feel like releasing on Hulu could be a blessing in disguise, perhaps less studio meddling with a decent idea. Maybe it'll disappoint, but so what, that's just part of being a fan of this franchise, lol.

I thought the trailer was great. Lots of inventive stuff, and a good new perspective on the hunter/prey dynamic. I think it looks very good indeed.

Never understood why any writer would write the xenos as inferior hunting prey to humans, when we've seen time and time again that the xenomorphs are superior. Heck, originally Ridley Scott considered them weapons of mass destruction just dropped on a planet to wipe it out and then the Space Jockeys just going down to pick up all the new eggs left behind in the wake - before he got old and made those weird prequels.
It's a weird, kinda arrogant notion to elevate humans up into something more than they really should be. And the issue that Predator movies have had since the first one is that the Predator always loses, which is just ludicrous.
Having people with bows and arrows and axes having any chance against a Predator is going to take some smart writers to pull off. Though, they are pitting hunters against hunter... so... that angle could work. I wonder if this will connect with Billy from the original movie, though I don't know what tribe he is supposed to be from. And again... that could so easily be screwed up.

I 100% agree with this. Dead on.

It's not unexpected though. The people that they're counting on to pay to see these movies are human and humans tend to like to think of themselves as the center of everything. That's why, even in something as ridiculous as Independence Day, the idea that humans can somehow interface with vastly superior alien technology using an Apple computer, somehow that's the way that they went because people want it to happen.
It's dumb but it's understandable.
I think what they might be thinking is that humans are more unpredictable and can think outside the box and come up with creative solutions. Xenomorphs are pretty straightforward. They are certainly harder to kill and possibly more deadly at close range, but they pretty much just do one thing all the time.
Still I don't know how any primitive humans would have any chance with bows, spears, knives, etc.
