Animation Dan Trachtenberg’s animated Predator: Killer of Killers

[Still Wynning]

Another underrated thing about this movie is bringing back motifs of the OG theme, which I think is severely as a theme for a character.

Speaking of themes, one thing I really liked about the score is that the instrumentation starts out a bit more primitive, but as each section progresses, it gets gradually more sophisticated according to the century it takes place in until it reaches present day and sounds a lot more like a traditional Predator score.

It seems like the Predator franchise has another streaming hit on its hands! The first animated film in the series, Predator: Killer of Killers has debuted at the top of the charts on Hulu and has remained there since its release last week. Top of the food chain. Top of the charts. Predator...

The Predator Renaissance is a welcome surprise

So I decided to try and give this a go because it’s Predator which I love. And I love the concept etc. Watching as we speak the first story. I seriously cannot understand the decision behind this kind of animation. It’s not even the look or style of it that’s the problem. It’s the fluidity of it. It’s extremely choppy like I am watching something at a very low framerate. It’s really bothering me to no end haha.

I dunno if I can even finish and watch the full thing. It bothers my eyes that much. And it sucks because I reallyyyyyyy wish it didn’t.

I am not entirely sold on the idea at the end, but I think there is absolutely some conversations being had with Arnold, Brody, and Braga. Maybe Glover, but he is pretty damn old. Sorry Holbrook, no liked your terrible movie, no one wants you back. And I doubt it will be something in Badlands. If anything, that teaser is hinting at Prey 2, which I have mixed feelings about.

I assume it teases more of an animated sequel to this than anything in live-action which…

Spoiler

also then will be an easy way to get Arnold and Danny Glover back as I’m sure they’d both be down for a voice role. They’d also both be able to look exactly as they did in 1987/1990.

Prey director teases secret new project after Predator: Killer of Killers and Predator: Badlands: "I sort of rushed two at once because I was so eager to get to the third thing"

Exclusive | Dan Trachtenberg suggests he's not done with the Predator franchise just yet

"After Prey came out, and I started thinking about sequel stuff, there were three ideas that I had. Killers is one, Badlands is two and the third one is something else," the filmmaker says in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features Star Trek: Strange New Worlds on the cover and hits newsstands on Wednesday, June 18. "The reason why I felt possessed to make them and sort of why I rushed – I did two at once because I could do, I could multitask with animation – was because I was so eager to get to the third thing."


"There's a lot of cool ideas out there and none of them are just like, 'Oh, we have to say the next part of this story because it was successful.' All of it is like, 'Whoa, no one has done that in sci-fi . No one has done that in Predator. No one's done that with the creature,' all of those ideas are generated from that instinct. So, yeah, there is definitely a third thing that I'd love to get to when Badlands is finished."

After the ending, I’m thinking

Spoiler

it has to be Prey 2 with Naru being awoken from suspended animation.

Also, watched the film yesterday, and it was pretty awesome! My favourite segment was the one in Japan.

9/10

Praying for Prey 2

Need more Naru and Sarii

A Dutch/Naru team up on the Predator home world would be insane lol

That would be the obvious, easiest, and cheapest way to do it. However, "waves wildly at what Marvel has been doing"

Watching the last segment with the Warlord and that's unexpected. Then to see hundreds, possibly thousands of captive prey human and alien for them to use in their gladiator type arena, and of course Naru was shown, which brings up, are Dutch and Harrigan there too, or soon to be? Given how Predator 2 ended, it's odd they didn't take him captive right then and there.

Anyhow, it's surprisingly good for fan service. Would definitely watch a sequel, and own it on 4k if they do a Blu-ray release like Prey.

Predator 2’s Lt. Mike Harrigan Almost Appeared in Predator: Killer of Killers - Alien vs. Predator Galaxy

One of the controversial parts of Predator: Killer of Killers was indeed the final act where the three heroes, Ursa, Kenji and Torres, are captured, held in stasis and brought to an arena on a Predator planet to fight. That's not all. In the closing moments of the film, as Predators are moving...

That's almost but not quite canon and would still need to explain why. It does show they were thinking of an explanation at least.
