As for the depiction of the French: France had started settling and claiming poritons North America, including parts of the Northern Great Plains, as early as the early 1600's. Before 1719, the French did set up several Forts. From what I found, the closes French fort to the Northern Great Plains were Fort Bourdon in Manitoba, Canada (there were a few in Illinois at the time too). Since the film never said exactly where the movie took place, its possible the French traders were in the Great Plains area. Ironically, the Comanche Indians were not a tribe in the Northern Great Plains, but rather much further south. Also, the French didn't slaughter the Buffalo needlessly as seen in the film, that would have been something that the Americans would have done in the 1800's.

​@@WildWestExtravaganza point is French fur traders hunted and trapped beavers in the great lake region not plains. in the 1700 this is when Britain and French colonist were having the bloodiest battles in Canada and the French fur trade ENDED IN 1701 why are there still French fur traders more than 10 years later after you can't earn a profit from it in France? you shold not only studie USA history when making these vidios french canadians have their own story. From roughly 1600 to 1650, the French forged alliances of kinship and trade with the Huron-Wendat, Algonquin and Innu. These peoples helped the French collect and process beaver furs and distribute them to other Indigenous groups throughout their vast trade network, which was established well before the arrival of Europeans we did not act like deranged psychopaths calling native American woman dogs "chienne" like portrayed in the movie.

The Comanche (or rather the Numunu as they call themselves) actually did wear medicine paint often and if one removes the idea of 'war' paint, it is plausible for them to do so. The women were known to wear paint often, but no different than a woman now wearing makeup. Once they moved south, they even started to tattoo their faces/bodies which is something they picked up from the Eastern tribes of Texas which Comancheria bordered with. The main flaw most Westerns have with Comanche is an extensive use of War Bonnets which they did not wear till the last years of resistance which they picked up from the Kiowa and Southern Cheyenne, though the feathers did not hold the same significance of war honors as for the other tribes, it was for style and effect which found even Quanah Parker wearing one. The main attire for a Comanche when they wore a headdress was a horned cap, being either bison or deer antlers, the biggest medicine and prized possession being their feathered shield and medicine bag. The Comanche were practical about their attire out in the field which is also what made them so deadly and efficient in combat

I have only seen the trailer and it reeked of wokeism to me, even though I haven’t seen the entire movie and I respect Josh’s right to his opinion. I disagree with him on this, I seriously doubt there were ever any female comanche warriors. They were the epitome of a patriarchal society when it came to war and giving out beatings to their wives. I’m sure at some point a young brave thought to himself “I’d like to have sex with running bear” and kept his freaking mouth shut about it for the rest of his life. Things were different then. The females were basically property. First of their father, then their husband.

The Comanche word for anyone not of their tribe was "enemy" so I doubt they practiced woke politics.

This is true, if predators didn't have pride. They hunt for sport and glory. There is no glory and hardly sporting to hunt prey you are so superior too. As such they strip themselves of things far above their prey's capabilities and hunt on a more even playing field as dictated by their superiors. Predator culture is never really fleshed out in the movies, the closest being Predators (2016 i think) in which we see multiple Yautja competing for a spot in the hierarchy and to prove themselves as the best. Plunged into a Battle Royal where the winner has either the most trophies or is last man standing. For instance in Predator: Dark Ages the predator is fighting English knights. As such he uses armor, arrows, swords/claw blades, and a net but doesn't use the shoulder cannon, the plasma blaster, and other such devices. (Edit: totally misread this as "totally destroy any historical people and not as value. I'll still leave it in case you find it interesting or it helps understand why the natives weren't just obliterated left and right consistently.

The comanche is the central numic of the uto - Aztecan language family the Shoshone, ute, monu and Northern paiute tribes. Alberta Canada were the Northern Great plains tribes once been thier ancient grounds for the arikara, Blackfoot, Blackfeet, Kiowa and the Dakota and Lakota sioux nation. The scientist researchers found ancient hunting arrows heads there from this tribes.

The scenery and cinematography was beautiful and Dakota Beavers did do a great job and with that being said I really didn't care for the movie I mean it wasn't horrible but I'll never watch it again and to be honest i forgot about it until this video popped up in my notifications and i watched this movie with my 2 teenage daughters and a few of their friends over this past weekend,none of us felt any connection to Amber Midthunder,she's a fine actress but her role was just unbelievable and uninteresting I was more interested in Dakota's character and was shocked that my daughters and all her friends were to he was just written better and we all cared where his story was going,we just didn't buy what she was selling and if it had been more of a tribe victory then the underdog story it would of been way better.

I watched the movie with low expectations and really enjoyed it. It was a show you movie rather than tell you so I had to watch it twice to catch a lot of details I missed the first time. It was well written.

I thought the movie was visually great. They put a lot of thought into the historical accuracy. My biggest gripe is the characterization. I felt like not enough time was spent on fleshing out the main characters and how the tribal society worked and it made it hard to care when anyone died. The protag was insufferable. She never admitted her faults whenever she failed, or learned any lessons about humility and teamwork after failing to hunt a stag, bear then finally failing to kill the mountain lion and getting saved by her brother. Naru is almost mindless in her pursuit of a kill. She’s cool. She’s capable, I like the way she looks. But Naru just comes across as a dick TBH. It made it hard for me to understand what the actual theme/point was here. Like I get the constant visuals of predation and prey throughout the movie but what was the deeper point with the Protagonist and going from prey to predator?

Loved this review, I was worried it was going to be unforgiving and biased the way so many I've seen have been. I think something to keep in mind regarding the gender role issues that a lot of people are bringing up is that many Indigenous nations did not force their people to conform to rigid gender roles, pre-colonization many men and women filled roles that may now be considered opposite to their gender. Im pretty sure it was only after colonization that rigid gender roles and a more patriarchal model of society was adopted by many Indigenous nations. Personally as a Native girl I'm stoked to see a Native girl kick a predators ass, if this had come out when I was a kid I wouldve freaked. I feel like people forget how much it means to see someone similar to you in mainstream media especially for kids- like many people might not relate or even like Naru but there is some little native girl out there who does and I feel like that means a lot more than weather or not the film was historically accurate.

Loved this film. Blew my expectations out of the water.

Thinking back to the bloody beaver, always kind of thought there might be some French in your ancestry DNA . That or just take it at face value lol . I don't even know why my mind went to that lol . I was planning on watching prey but with your review might just watch it tonight .

It was a good movie... but predator fans didn't give a damn that it was a girl hero, the issue was they failed to follow the predator fictitious lore. There's a ton of issues on the predator side. But over all it was a good movie.

I watched your video on clay allison then went back to show it to a friend and couldn't find it

Comanche encampments in the Northern Rockies and a large French Fur-Trapping Company Expedition in the same area in the year 1719 was beyond historically inaccurate. Why even bother to be historically accurate otherwise?

It’s the trend in cinema today in line with the new cultural norms of gender egalitarianism. Woman and men are equal in all abilities. Woman need to overcome the boogeyman patriarchy and this character represents those political messages. That’s the subtext in this movie’s character. Should it keep anyone from watching it?

Comanches had horses by the 1600's...... the movie is set in 1719, 18 years after the French fur trade ended. French fur traders hunted in the great lake region not the great plains. this movie is not historically accurate or represents native American in anyway whatsoever they were nomadic with horses by the 1600's. French fur traders spoke Algonquian native American not Comanche Uto-Aztecan. the movie is awful the plot and timeline make no sense by 1718 Canada was in war between the English and French with most of the indigenousness populations siding with the French because of the good relations we had Mi'kmaw saved the first French settlers who settled Acadie and almost died in the first winter and French/Dutch fur traders married with native American woman this created the Metis people in the great plains. a weaved native-American/ euro-American culture. Metis derives from the French word metiser it means weaved. so, the choice of Comanche is awful and the choice of French fur traders from Quebec is worst makes no sense historically with the date and what we know of the time Quebec was settled more than 100 years before this movie even takes place by the 1700 we were in the seven years' war fighting the British over the plains of Abraham in Ontario and Quebec not Manitoba, saskatwane and Alberta.

Lol!!!

Woke bs. So sick of them Shoving this crap down our throats. The movie was decent but one of the weaker predator movies. Love your work though

Great another social justice warrior masquerading as an old west history podcast. Yes the lead was a Mary Sue. There have been female leads all my life. The problem today is not a female lead. You speculate about "strong" women fighting in wars. They were extremely rare, and in every case they are nothing more than a symbol for the men to rally behind. In this movie she is a stronger warrior then all the male warriors. She can't get away from them, but she is able to kill the thing that killed five of the warriors in seconds. That is a Mary Sue. Like Rey in the Star Wars sequel. She was so strong she didn't even need training to defeat a sith apprentice that had been trained by Luke and Palpitine. Hopefully you can see the difference between the portrayal of this character and a real bad ass female like Joan of Arc.

Strange we're still being gaslit with the "Oh...youre one of those guys who thinks everything is woke" line while we are enduring a period of openly woke crap-entertainment that is pushing the same tired agenda. Im not a bad person for pointing it out. It's been going on for at least 5 years in nearly every franchise that comes out, wins an award, or gets reviewed. New Lord of the Rings property is coming out. WOKE AF whether I point it out. New Game of Thrones property coming out. WOKE AF. Watchmen, Saved By The Bell, Vikings, The Wizard of Oz, Terminator, Marvel. They dropped that new Batgirl because even they cant stand themselves any more. Im sure a guy who does historical overviews of people in that genre will have all kinds of wonderful stories of female figures and deeds from the many tribes of the progressive and noble savage. Comanche MAY HAVE had females who bucked stereotypes and norms to be more of a male role in the tribe, but she would have had a tough row to hoe when it came to the raping and killing that would be before her in that role. Rape was a sport to the Comanche. Scalping and raping children were common practices...not for ALL TRIBES...but CERTAINLY for the Comanche. Those women would have to take slaves...not just BLACK slaves (which they had), but white, Asian and Native slaves also (which they ALSO had). The Progressive Comanche, ladies and gentlemen....created by Hollywood, believed by nncompoops. There are pictures available to you online of what it looks like when Comanche scalp a child and they live....now find MORE PICTURES of fierce Comanche female fighters. When you cant, realize what a BS fantasy world you live in....and how you should keep that FAR AWAY from actual history.
