Is that the girl from Legion?
I think it looks awesome.They finally put out an official trailer. It looks like ass.
I think you are both right - I’ll watch it with all the speakers turned upI think it looks awesome.
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.I would have thought that since the prey doesn't have modern weapons that the Predator's honor wouldn't permit it to use sophisticated weapons in the hunt. In the first two movies it felt like they were testing youths on how honorable they were.
Oh wow, that could be really neat if they do it right.It'd be interesting if the Commanche warrior woman joins them in the end! That'd be a subtle nod to the Dark Horse genesis of the only human huntress we've been shown (Machiko), and more earned than Lex in AVP.
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.In the AvP comics and books(which only resemble the movies in name BTW), it is mentioned that only experienced hunters can hunt humans.

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 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.
Yup.
I 100% agree with this. Dead on.

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.
