The Yautja species at the heart of the Predator franchise has distinct green blood, which ends up playing into the distinct visuals and nail-biting narratives of films like Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers. Director Dan Trachtenberg made a bold choice in setting Prey hundreds of years before the other Predator movies, a choice that paid off by revitalizing the franchise in the 21st century. The iconic green blood plays a pivotal role in the events of Prey, but some audiences might be curious as to why the species has distinctive bioluminescent green blood. 53712t

Warning: contains spoilers for Predator vs Wolverine #4!The Predatorfranchise is teasing that the Yautja species may actually have become weaker over time, with the alien killer seen in Prey among the franchise's deadliest ever. It's an intriguing idea that stresses some of the major themes of the franchise and corresponds with the ideas set up in the movies. In Benjamin Percy and Ken Lashley's Predator vs. Wolverine #4, Logan undertakes his final battle against the Yautja that's been hunting him for a century. In their last bout, the Yautja lost its helmet, which was revealed to have been used in Weapon X's experiments on Wolverine. However, the lost gear also gave Logan a way to draw his foe back out into the open.

The Predator movie franchise covers five main entries and two crossover films, and creates a complex timeline to untangle. The Predator movie took advantage of Arnold Schwarzenegger's newfound fame as an action star, delivering a blend of action, horror and sci-fi in the story of a group of commandos stalked in the jungle by an alien who hunts for sport. The result was a box office hit that would later become a genre classic, but it was never intended to spawn a franchise.

Prey has a number of references and Easter eggs that relate to the Predator franchise, especially the first two movies. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and starring Amber Midthunder as a Comanche warrior named Naru, Prey is the first prequel in the Predator franchise and the first to feature a female lead. Prey is set 300 years before the events of 1987's Predator, which set up the standard of tropes that have helped define the creature, including its signature weapons, mannerisms, sounds, and tactics. Still, while there's a considerable time gap, there are plenty of Predator Easter eggs in Prey.

The Prey characters feature a cast made up of mostly Native and First Nation talent portraying of a Comanche tribe facing off against a Predator. Prey is set in the year 1719 in the Great Plains, where a young Comanche girl attempts to prove herself as a warrior, facing an adversary that's never been seen on Earth before. Set 300 years before the original Predator film, Prey is the first prequel of the long-running franchise, taking place outside of the present-day setting that's been prevalent in every sequel since the original.

The Prey ending wraps the 2022 Predator prequel and Naru's story nicely, but also leaves the door open for Prey 2 and future period sci-fi adventures with the iconic interstellar hunter. Prey has a number of themes that run throughout the film, chief among them being that people should follow their calling, regardless of what tradition may dictate. Starring Amber Midthunder as Naru, the Prey setting moved the franchise from the present day to 1719 North America, in a story that may well be the first-ever expedition of the Predator race on Earth. The story focuses on Naru, a Comanche who feels the call to being a hunter within her tribe, but is hindered by the traditional role she's meant to take.

Prey helped to revitalize the franchise, and Prey 2 is perhaps the most in-demand Predator sequel in decades. The first Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, became a hit in 1987, but various attempts to continue the franchise failed to live up to the original. However, Prey and star Amber Midthunder managed to take the series back to its roots with a simple yet thrilling action story with a determined hero taking on the deadly alien Predator — refreshed by mashing the sci-fi horror with period drama visuals.

Although I like most of the Predator movies, 2022’s Prey was the first one to truly reignite my interest in the franchise. The Predator movies have frustrated me for a long time. Despite featuring one of the best creature designs in sci-fi horror history, the series never worked out how to make the Predator truly interesting after its movie debut. ittedly, no one could fault the franchise for lack of trying.

Eight years after Dead Men Tell No Tales, it's clear that it will be hard for Pirates of the Caribbean 6 to please fans of the franchise. However, through two other franchises, Disney has already revealed how they can make Pirates of the Caribbean 6 a great movie. The Pirates franchise began in 2003 with The Curse of the Black Pearl. Since it was based on a theme park ride, expectations were not high for the first Pirates movie. However, The Curse of the Black Pearl ended up being a critical and commercial success, leading to several sequels being made.

The culture of the creatures at the center of the Predator franchise has been well established across various forms of media, and one of the most noteworthy practices of their honor-based hunting culture is their skinning of certain victims. The Predator movie franchise has seen the alien hunters kill across different time periods and on different planets, and over time more information has been revealed about what motivates the species known as the Yautja. Their honor-based culture involves finding, killing. and taking trophies from other organisms that they deem to be worthy, dangerous adversaries.
