No matter what happens, I just want everyone to know that there's this awesome
popcorn cake recipe in case they need to Alanis-ironically snack on something suitable for wank when this new movie comes out.
Oh, wait. What? Female Predators? Alrighty. Since I'm already in this thread and all.
Predators are bipedal. Since they stand in the exact way that a Human does, it is safe to assume they have identical pelvic design. Hence, at the very least, their hips are going to be that
stereotypical 'child bearing' shape. That is a true given. Without wider hips, a fetus' crown cannot pass out the birth canal without causing bodily trauma for the mother.
Recent studies make this clear that as Humans,our mother's womb baking time is for the brain ONLY. This is why a fetus looks so well...
fetal, when it is born, versus other animals who have rather well-developed newborns and can walk in a few hours time with the adults. But the Human baby when it pops has got a very well-developed brain.
Which leads into breasts. Because so much of the mother's own bodily resources are used for the fetus, things such as yolks to feed the fetus are impossible. Yolk can only contain so much metabolic nutrients for the fetus. The mother, when birthing an egg, would have to pop out a very large fetus-sized egg that -also- contained the yolk to feed the fetus while it continues to grow. This is, to me, not viable for a sentient, large-brain-cased species. This is also a good nudge in the direction that Predators are warm blooded too. A human-sized brain needs a body that can develop its own body heat. Otherwise, it could not advance itself into abstract thought and problem solving, such core tenets to signal true intelligence.
However, it has been pointed out that perhaps Predators on-screen have not shown things like belly buttons and nipples. I chalk that up to garbage movie science. Especially for the first movie, which I doubt the likes the Stan Winston and James Cameron going apeshit about their creature FX suit to have nips and an innie. Especially since the Predator concept itself was a bit rushed considering Van Damme threw a tantrum in his red lobster suit. The actual core Predator concept was sketched on a plane trip to the studio. I would like to think they had more pressing matters.
So yes. Honestly, with what movies are out now, IF a female Predator ever was shown then Fox and co can either do their science homework or just do anything they want because they said so and it's their property. Or, you know, "it's science fiction! Anything can happen!" And seeing the state of the Predator property AND the fandom, that kind of lazy thinking gets none of us anywhere.
However, it doesn't mean a Predator fem needs to rival the likes of Nicki Minaj's buns. With the right sexual dimorphic height coupled with broad hips AND a bit-wider shoulders to compensate, it won't look like a parody or a reason to pin tits on chest. As for the actual breasts...who says they have to be in fabulous funbag size 24/7? If anything, I can see them being mosquito bites until they are ready to give birth. That way they have milk ready for their newborn. When the child is grown enough, then it's last call on the milk tap and they then become afterthoughts and more like male pectorals.
