Nominated.

Yes, this is who I wanted for #3

He can be in the pre-opening credits hunting montage.

Now THIS is a thread!

Actually I understand where youā€™re coming from on this. I actually grew up on the Predator home world and seeing him using serrated wrist blades 100 years before they became common was a bit jarring. And not to mention the attire he wore was something found in the southern regions on Yautja Prime yet there he was speaking the Northwest dialect. Took me right out of it but I endured.

It canā€™t form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesnā€™t work that way. But he can form solid metal shapesā€¦knives and stabbing weapons.

Thank you for referencing the final movie in the Terminator franchise.

I thoroughly enjoyed ā€œPreyā€. I was skeptical as to how people armed only with ancient weaponry would be able take down a Predator, but they did a great job of making it believable (in a movie sense). I also enjoyed the bad colonials being, for once, not English.

Movies change things up all the time for plot convenience, laziness and pure ignorance. Itā€™s annoying for detail-oriented folks who know the subject, but Iā€™ve bet youā€™ve watched dozens of period movies that play far more wildly fast and loose with history and facts, just without knowing it.

To wit, Braveheart won 5 Oscars, and is virtually a fabrication from credits to credits. They couldnā€™t even get the year right on the period-establishing caption!

For example, I recently learned that there was never a Peopleā€™s Front of Judea NOR a Judean Peopleā€™s Front!
