Predators, Anyone know the lore ?

Dicehunter · 8 Dec 2014 at 07:56

Always loved predator and the books/comics/games but never really got into the lore, Anyone know how they fit into the alien/engineer side of things ? Did the engineers also make them ? I've also read that the engineers were a servant race for the predators to make more challenging prey and also that they've been at war/odds for a long time.

Came in expecting Stinson Hunter vids, left disappointed.

The comic and Prometheus depictions of the engineer/space jockey are two different things. Probably best not to mix them.

Thank you, Seems interesting.

One of the theories is that the Xenomorphs may have been an Engineer weapon against the Yautja *Predators* because both species are at odds, The Engineers create and the Predators just hunt.

I hope we get more proper information in the next Prometheus film

Expecting to hear about predators in the wild, left looking for some.

Apparently in one of the scenes in AvP: Requiem in the Predator ship there's a second when you can see an Engineer skull on a trophy wall, Guess I'm going to have to check this out

Had to do a double take then as I thought this was a new film I hadn't heard of, gotten so used to myself/friends calling it "AVPVDawson's Creek"

The only redeeming parts of that film was the shots of the predator, The rest was naff, Especially the predalien impregnating pregnant women, I'm sorry but the director/writer has mental issues, Most wrong thing I have ever seen

Yeah, that scene was beyond bad taste and I don't usually mind a generous dose of gore.

Well I just lost an hour of my life there.

Van Damme was originally the Predator!?

This is the most nerdy thing I've read today.

Continue.

Whatever the hell Ridley Scott's doing with the engineers in Prometheus has nothing to do with Predator/Alien/Space Jockey comic lore or the AvP movies

The scene where the Pred steps away after killing Mac is JCVD.

Yeah, I thought it was weird in Resurrection when the white alien got a boner and came on to Ripley, but that took it to another level lol.

Resurrection? I don't believe that film ever existed. No idea what you're talking about... :confused:

Haha, it wasn't that bad, granted it wasn't as good as the first two but it was better than 3 or the AVP films.
