Alien-Predator Literature / Re: Author Steve Perry Talks O...

I understand, so he wasn't commissioned to write a novel. I don't know how it usually works. So whether a studio commissions someone to write a novel or whether the author asks for it.
If he is the inventor of the word Yautja, that was a very long time ago and was therefore generally recognized.
As a fan I have to accept it or ignore it.

He was commissioned to write a novel. He was not put in charge of Predators. He was not asked to come up with a name for them - just the opposite. He has no particular authority.

The term exists, but I don't necessarily think that any Predator media is obliged to use it.  I think it could be easily replaced by another word, especially in the movies where no character has ever been impressed to actually name them (besides calling them predators, hunters, etc.)

I would actually be interested to see to what extent the studio addresses such situations.
As far as I know, Yautja don't appear in any films. (?)
If the Predator universe is expanded, it could be that they want to introduce the correct name at some point.
Will the studio then say, OK, we have the novels that already have that name in them, so let's just use it, or will something completely new come along and cancel the whole thing, so to speak.
something similar could happen in the Alien universe and that already happened with the preaquels

I agree. Wu's character is already f**ked, no need to show or hint at more deaths please.

f**king D*sney.

Huh?

I'm hoping they don't release footage. Both Prometheus and Covenant did it and my experience for one suffered. If they do, I'm mostly staying away...mostly.

Honestly, I agree. I feel like I saw the best Covenant had to offer weeks before the movie had come out.

I think two trailers and a clip closer to release is all I need.

My big worry is character deaths being spoiled - I feel like the first trailer was already giving slightly too much away.
