Hence the Predators from movie 1 & 2 were already true hunters Hence they had the plasma canons. Another little thing is that they have a code of honor to hunt.

From what I've heard, this is supposed to be the first time Predators have been on earth, that's why it was attacking everything that appeared to be a threat to find the strongest being. Had no experience with any living creature on earth. I also think the predators dropped on earth are juveniles and much like Naru, this is their big fight to be recognized as a warrior. So Naru is the threat that made the predators think we're one of the strongest "prey" to keep coming back.

"From what I've heard, this is supposed to be the first time Predators have been on earth"...this makes it sound like Predators as a species haven't been to Earth before. Or are you saying this one specific Predator? I don't know if AvP is canon or not, but the Mayans, etc were older than the time we're shown in this movie.

The whole food chain vs tribal hierarchy situation was also done well... Predator/prey, leader/follower, progress/past... A parfait of themes. Really loved this movie. I really hope Amber Midthunder and Dakota Beavers get all the roles. They were both outstanding.

my fav part is the climax of her fight with the predator begins with “i’m smarter than a beaver” and the final blow and fight came at an old beaver damn

It's a nice attention to detail that because this predator isn't as armored it takes more damage, but it's also faster, more agile, and more capable in close quarters since it isn't weighed down as much by armor.

I love this reaction vid, Appleton's comment about why the buffalo herd was killed off is the ONLY one I've seen so far about the accurate Native American history. That comment alone made me explore this channel more. Kudos!

Awesome reaction! One thing though, Jean-Claude Van Damme was NOT in the Predator suits. He was originally cast for it, back when the Predator had a totally different design. But because of issues he had with how hot it was, and them not liking the design, the roll was recast to someone much larger. Kevin Peter Hall who was 7'2, played the Predator in both 1 and 2.

Little fun fact about what you said about him: JCVD was not in the Predator suit. He was when the predator didn't look like a predator and they were still figuring out what the monster would look like but the original design didn't work. It's still disputed between McTiernan and JCVD that either they fired him because he wanted to do some "karate" moves in the suit that they didn't like or if It was because they reworked the whole Predator look to a point that JCVD would not be the right person to be in that suit. But in the film we've all seen, that's at (almost) no point Van Damme in the suit but Kevin Peter Hall. Thanks for your videos, I love watching your reactions!

11 min and I already love this reaction. So many male reactions for this movie failed to see the point and it was ironic. She was underestimated and that's how she survived, while the men ignored her warnings. I paused it after the Billy comment, because Billy has the same medicine pouch around his neck as Naru. I think he hunted with those tools, because his people had to evolve for centuries like we have. Darts to lasers. Very nice reaction.

What I enjoyed about the time piece of this movie was although the predator was more advanced than the humans in this time, it still had a kind of archaic element compared to the predators we've been used to especially with that skull helmet. Plus plus to the Easter eggs, our female protagonist and the native American cast. Would have loved to have seen this in theater.

The original is a classic. This one is the best one since. Bloody loved this one. The scenery, the music, the cast, the story.... Might just be my favourite. Great reaction, guys x

Loved this movie when it first came out, and loved this reaction! Fun fact, the Predator's shield and the tomahawk that Naru can recall were both inspired by weapons from God of War (2018).

I LOVE the way they made THIS Predator's weapons more primitive than the weapons on the Predator in the 1st movie.

My fav since the original. Gotta remember that the predator is still the predator but his technology was 300 years earlier so not as advanced tech as the one Arnold faced.

A huge thanks to HULU for knowing that your audience always wants the dog protected, at all costs! Good movie, great reaction 👍

I love this movie, such good tension and letting the Predators reveal be a slow burn was so good. Apparently, during Taabe's(the brother) fight with the Predator, when it goes invisible, what he yells is basically cheater. Which is true, it's invisibility is such a huge advantage. Such an awesome movie and great reaction as always guys.

As you picked up and commented at the end, you can see that this Predator intentionally selects both its fighting style, and weapon choice to match the style of the "prey" it's hunting. For the wolf that is quick on the chase and has sharp fangs, the Predator squats low and uses its arm blades - challenging the wolf's speed and quickness head to head (as is the reason he even squats low to remove his natural height advantage). Against the grizzly, he purposely goes power to power to try and out-wrestle a bear in a literal bear hug! Against the people he shifts to projectiles, spears, nets and even bait with area of effect traps (mimicking the trappers baited area surrounded by animal traps), after they display that level against him!

These are real fans of the franchise who understand the care that was taken with this movie. Well done!

I love that the call-backs weren't forced, or didn't feel forced to me. I love that it returns to the survival thriller roots. I love that it settles a question that non canon comics tried to answer before. Rarely do I encounter a film that just feels so good that it's hard to nitpick, intentionally seeking problems. There are a few, but so small that they don't really impact the story. So close to a perfect film it can be tasted. EDIT: Yautja hunt for breeding rights as well as coming of age, their society is matriarchal after all. They can distinguish between male and female, they won't kill a pregnant woman or a child intentionally. Even armed, they see them as less of a threat, unless it's a Yautja female! The films are great but the books and canon graphic novels do a great job of expanding on a rich foundation of lore.

I was thinking Scorpion when she was flinging that axe around ^^ Overall an amazing film, enjoyed very much!

some observation on this movie: the snake can see and fought back... the wolf thinks the predator is a threat so the wolf attacks instinctively...which shows the predator can be injured.. the bear can fight brute strength and shows it can be killed... a group of people can do teamwork like setting up traps or outsmart it... they think the predator is unstoppable but what is shown is that it can be defeated... the predator is somewhat underestimating the inhabitants that it sees the woman somewhat not a threat and ignores her somehow until she outsmarted the predator at the end.

Gotta be honest, I absolutely loved this movie. L Ike how it shows the predator leveling up in his prey, first the snake, then the wolf, then the bear and now the humans. It makes it seem like the predator is trying to find the best match on the planet. Also I don’t get when people complain about how the predator died by his own weapon. Like that was a badass fight and she outsmarted him tactically. Although I love the orginal, nostalgia or not you have to admit that dropping a lot on the predator was pretty anticlimactic

If you notice, In the first movie Billy has the same pouch she has around her neck, so maybe he’s a descendant of her. Also keep in mind that this is a prequel set 300 years before the first film and it might be a different species of predator, that’s why it has primitive weapons.

I’ve only seen the first predator movie and this one. My boyfriend is a huge fan though, He explained it as the predator won’t attack a pray that is defenseless. So no weapon, no kill. Not sure if her being a female made a difference.

And I doubt it'll go after prey that runs away that also hasn't shown aggression or has any weapons at all.

Remember, the predator of 1987 had over 250 years of weapons-tech development/upgrade evolution over this film's predator. The weapons used by _this_ predator would be laughable antiques to the high-tech predator Dutch fought. You can see some of the ancestors of the weaps used by the later predator tho. The helmet-targeted gun shot bolts rather than energy, and it was held - not shoulder mounted as the system it had evolved into by '87. The cut-thru-anything shield became the flying razor-disc Murtaugh faced. Hope that made sense, hehe :) Another crazy thing - if that be the case - is that the predator's civilization already had interstellar travel and cloaking tech well before _1719._ Great reaction like always, guys! :)

I loved it! Amber did an excellent job acting and the story is inspiring. Also the director was excellent too. Must watch.

First superb editing , 2nd great reaction

Much appreciated 🤙 thank you.

This was a good movie man. I think that this is the predators first big hunt, they have it mirror Nauru throughout the movie. The movie was smart and it almost anticipated how we would expect another bad predator movie with callbacks that miss directed us. It’s also very efficient in the sense what they showed us and the dialogue coming back, almost everything that she said or did came back at the end of the movie down to the beaver stuck between the two rocks and taking its its leg off. I also wanna save that some of the special effects weren’t great but that’s the price we had to pay to get this movie. I think that if it was a theatrical release with a much larger budget we wouldn’t get the story. The investors would demand something grander and because it’s their movie they would have too much to say so. This is definitely the second best predator movie and may be a better movie than the first one but the first one is the best because they were starting from scratch and had to create the predator universe.

Agreed. Very nice surprise here. They left the ending up open for a sequel too in the credits. Would be interesting to see one more.

@@BaddMedicine I think that this franchise really has potential to turn to almost a Deadliest Warriors kinda thing. And the best part is that everybody can get behind the predator because he's green and has a mouth that could put Black and Decker outta business!!! lol

Oh man loved your guys reaction this has to be the best redemption since the last horrible The Predator movie. There's a theory to the predators weapons, they say that when they start out they are given limited weapons and as they progress through hunts there given more advanced tools and weapons which would explain in AVP they didn't have plasma cannons at first

As an Ojibwé ,We still pick medicine; my Uncle used to do this.it is still used for the affects of chemo therapy and we still thank the animal for giving it's life. My older brother used to take me hunting.🙂and there are /were woman warriors. Some of us still wear medicine pouches.

For the longest time I've wanted to see a young Yautja rise up from the start, join a clan. Keep doing his thing while rising through the ranks. In my story I'd have his original clan leader be taken out by an alien queen and he gets facehugged and then we have a Predalien. He starts his own clan including a human and some others creatures. Thinking the human might have been someone who kills a clan member of his, and later when he becomes a leader, that human joins.

I was worried they wouldn’t give Amber MidThunder(Naru) a good Strong women role and the men would always save her. But they surprised me and I love how she acted throughout everything. Also the Native American culture in this movie was so spot on and good. A great movie!!!

Love the reaction and yall trying to solve all the call backs and not discrediting it. Bad ass! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Def Subbing.

Much appreciated 🙏 thank you!

Great reaction guys!

The females in the Predator species (Yautja) actually more dangerous than the males, bigger too. So if anything, the Predator would be wary hunting a female target 😂 But I guess the reason why Naru wasn't considered target because she hasn't prove herself as a warrior, not until the final act. Note that the Predator only hunted other *predators*, aka lethal targets. He also had to match the quarry, weapon for weapon, according to their hunting ritual law.

For his 2nd big budget film. Dan Trachtenberg did a phenomenal job as director for this film.

Cool! Great reaction! 😎

I know its a little late in the game for this, but the orange flower that Naru calls "Orange totsiyaa" is very real. It is more properly known in modern parlance as the Calendula flower. It has been used as not only a medicinal plant but as a cooking herb for centuries. in addition to breaking fevers and slowing blood flow, its also a pretty good disinfectant. Too much of it can have a narcotic effect, making one drowsy and lethargic.

GUYS I MET U JUST RECENTLY BUT AM HUGE FAN NOW OF YOUR REACTIONS.... U GUYS ARE THE BEST

Best Predator movie since original

I think if AVP is canon, then the predators try to level the playing field by choosing "lesser" equipment since they're shown using plasma canons in the AVP "flashback" set 10,000 years ago. If AVP is NOT canon, then I'd happily say the bolt gun is just the predecessor to the plasma canon. Either way I'm happy with it.

The Predator in this is lower tech than the ones in the other movies because they evolve based on their battles. So in the first movie, they are already way more advanced than they are in this one. This movie is set in the 1700s, and the first movie was in the 1900s. Love your reviews and your content! Don't ever stop.

Loved the direction they took this franchise in. I’m sensing Anthology with future stories!

This was some good shit , we now have a solid Prequel, keep them comming!

Yuatja, I believe is pronounced Yeow-Tja. As we all know there are different classes and subclasses. This is a Feral Class. they preferred the fight more than stealth kills. probably why it chose to wrestle a whole bear, hand to hand with the Native Warriors, with minimal weaponary and tech. Im so glad you caught on the more primative type of predator. Predators weapons/tech evolved based on when and where they hunted. its safe to say that since this Yuatja had a shield, a rail weapon simular to arrows or cross bows, that the species has been to Earth before this; thats why in 1987s Predator we get a hunter class with a plasma cannon. Also this Yuatja couldve been a subclass called Young Bloods, untestested, it may have been its first hunt. it may have also been being watched by a Blooded Predator. hence why it was dropped off rather than landing its own ship..so many theories lol i also liked no subtitles for the french trappers. even though we heard english i think it was assumed the Comanche were speaking their native tongue, so she couldnt understand the trappers, why should we be able to, right? lastly, the word Tabai shouted when he did work on the Yautja and it cloaks is rougly translated to, "cheater.." such a breath of fresh air to the franchise... i believe Jean Claude was only the Predator for a bit. he quit because he was over heating. the director and Arnold wanted the predator to make him look small. enter Kevin Peter Hall, 7'2". lol.

Very ingenious with all of the more primitive weapons. For being almost 300 years in the past, he still had the laser guided helmet but no energy weapon - more along the lines of an electromagnetic rail gun with spike projectiles and, when you think about it, all of his weapons were throwing weapons. His cloak was also more primitive ... just a camouflage field and not a layer of energy armor.

I'd never seen a Predator movie before I watched this one, which I only came to because of Amber Midthunder. It was awesome! She did such a brilliant job. You can also watch the movie dubbed in Comanche which really adds to the vibe IMO.

Your reaction was hella satisfyiiiiiiiing guys. Loved it. Road to 100k subs. Keep em reactions coming.

The brother yells “ cheater “ when it goes invisible when the bro was wining lol

Also the bow string snapping is a call back to the opening of the film when the brother said about getting stuck in mud and his bow string snapping.

The brother was a bad ass. This movie was amazing. She was an awesome character. Loved this movie. 3rd favorite for me. But I'm a huge fan of AvP 1 as well. And the original is ultimately the best as the 1st ever. :)

Jcvd wasn't in the suit, he was in the suit they were going to use before they settled on the costume they used. Kevin Peter Hall was the guy in the suit for the movie, fun fact, he is one of the pilots in the helicopter.

Thx for the reaction

This movie was visually stunning and was very respectful to the Comanche people. I thought Naru was so compelling and this is actually better to me than the original. Of course I love Predator but it’s because it was so different than anything else I’d seen at the time. This one is a film- Predator is a fun popcorn movie. 4.5/5

Well said here🤙

The whistling she did with the Frenchman at the campfire is a nod to Native American lore that whistling at night is bad luck in that it summons evil spirits.

Before my comment : You guys are great. Love your reactions. F.Y.I Jesse "The Body" Ventura did comment on the movie and he gave it great praise. So look for that. And keep it up. Ps. I find it adorable that The Appleton Oak is Griffindor lol. Love you guys!

i dont care about the franchise. i think the first one is a top tier movie for its time. i was pleasently surprised with this one. i would rate it 7,5 out of 10. my only real gripe with the movie was, that the predator apperantly didnt understand, how some of his gadgets work.

I think this might have been this Predator's first hunt too, helping to explain its unfamiliarity with some tech. That or the laser-guided bolt thrower was new.

Think about it. Most big-game hunters in our society also don't really understand how most of their techniques and equipment actually operates. They have a very general comprehension of its purpose and operation, and that's about it. Granted, the "best" hunters don't really have that issue, but this guy pretty clearly didn't know what was up with Earth. At the very least, this one specifically has never been to our planet before. He might've been a relatively new hunter overall. Which would also explain why he's not packing EVERYTHING we've seen Predators have before. He hasn't earned any of it yet (and now never will).

This is the first time for Predators on earth. They mention that in the extras/featurettes. So he was clueless about the planet hence why he was "studying" and surveying the environment by taking out multiple dangerous animals.

Couple interesting things: the dog is not a typical modern dog, they tracked down a rare breed, it was a Carolina Dog which is one of the oldest breeds that still exist and it was the type of dog that would fit in the time period. Also, not only where the actors playing natives actual indigenous actors, but a lot of the film crew were also. Oh, I think [a bit more than 50/50] that this was the dog's first acting job.
