There’s also two Primeval novels that show us more of his badass side!

I like the idea that the show presented that the future creatures, while certainly great hunters in their own right, weren't by any means immortal. They could be killed when met by a strong natural enemy. They're terrifying, but they're not some overly invincible force and are as subject to harm as any actual living thing.

@mrreyes5004

Жыл бұрын

Exactly. Another Future Predator's battle with the Gorgonopsid also proves this; in general, it seems that significantly larger beasts with greater reaching range and the cleverness to think outside the box are the Future Predators' greatest rival. They are unrivalled in speed and senses, but when they have to face a creature tough enough to take what they dish out and strong enough to return it with interest... well, they've met their match.

It never really got better than this series

I'm pretty sure Lester didn't release the Mammoth to save himself, I think he released it knowing it would kill the future predator after he died, so that it wouldn't hurt the crew as the returned back to their base. Lester truly expected to die at the end there and that makes the whole scene so much more badass.

Maybe we're both right and he did it 99% to clean the predator after it killed him and 1% praying for a miracle mammoth intervention haha

James Lester: quite literally “LIKE A BOSS!”

Up until this sequence, Lester's motivations, goals were up for speculation by the audience. We didn't know if he was on the side of the angels, up to no good, or just a company man for the government. As of this scene, James went from question mark to TOTAL BAD ASS !!!

D.DoT-Z No, there are definitely similarities. It's vision on screen is aesthetically similar to the predator's and it's unnatural speed, stealth and fondness of the dark are somewhat reminiscent of a xenomorph. That said, the predalien is obviously the true hybrid with FP only bearing similarities.

@patrickmorris79

6 жыл бұрын

D.DoT-Z It's a bat. It's fond of the dark. A whole pack of them stalked Danny, Abby and Connor through the almost pitch darkness of the Future ARC. Another pack ambushed Christine Johnson's men in the future while they inhabited the darkness of the building. Those were wild individuals. The only reason we didn't see many other dark attacks was because the ARC team usually only encountered them during the day, actively avoiding looking for them at night as it would be suicidal. As a general rule of thumb, if you're a hunting carnivore, you'll like the dark. Also, I never said that the Predator's vision was the same as FP's, I said they were aesthetically similar on screen, which means they look similar. You've also got all three creatures showing extraordinary durability in the face of gunfire. Also, another similarity is that all three creatures are renowned for their ability to hunt human prey albeit for different reasons, Predator's for honour, Xeno's for defense and reproduction and FP for food and defense. Another similarity between the Predator and FP is the vocalisations they make, they both click. Also, both FP and Xeno's lack lips and tend to drool as a result. So now that I've thoroughly disposed of your "FP's don't like darkness" BS and given you a fair amount of other similarities the creatures share, do you see now that while FP isn't the hybrid between the two, it DOES bear similarities to both other creatures, so allow me to say this. Just stop.

Ok two things one Lester has some of the best one liners and Two props the makers of the show for not making the belt on the SAW LMG least for 9 hours, that whole gunfire scene with that belt shown before firing is believeable.

3:25-3:42 and once again the past overcomes the future

If this show taught use one thing is that creatures form the future can't beat creatures form the past this sense and the fight at the end of season one proofs that

After this Lester start to develop in the show after this.

They say that the Future Predator is suppose to be the next dominant life form after man and yet ironically, it has lost to the Gorgonopsid, the Colombian Mammoth and all those other Creatures that were captured by Leek in the fight off screen after Stephens death.
