- Sep 03, 2021, 02:26:46 AMIt's a shame the new OWLF and Isabelle recordings don't have dates. Keyes entry #20 was 8/29/2016. How far do you all think these new recordings move ahead in the timeline? Be nice to use this to place Predators and The Predator with solid dates, maybe help tie in Stalking Shadows & Hunters and Hunted.

Despite my strong dislike of this new info, there is one that caught my attention....QuoteIts interesting that for a clan of bad bloods, the Super Predator clan is willing to adopt a non Predator into their fold. It adds more depth into them that we haven't seen even with the main stream canon, as usually this adopting a human into the tribe occurs in the comics. Royce going batshit insane, says he enjoys hunting people and takes up the offer to join them and see what they have in store for him is kind of sad to see him spiral down like this.
Might want to put that in spoilers, for the people who havent heard/unlocked the tapes yet.

- Sep 02, 2021, 06:46:23 PMLike the new tapes but I'm not a fan at all of the last tape that says the Predators do not know how to repair their own equipment and that they are dumb. That diminishes their race as a whole and the Predator property itself. Hope that gets retconned really fast.

But what can you do.

Isn't the idea of Predators not understanding their own tech in 'Forever Midnight'?[close]
I don't think this is considered a spoiler anymore considering the age of the book, so yes, in the novel "Forever Midnight", the Hish Predators had the Amengi race in servitude creating all sorts of devices for them. While the Hish were presented in the novel across a vast spectrum of corny, stupid and incompetent behavior, I don't personally recall the Hish divulged as incapable. (Fast forward to last year when, thankfully, the Alpha Predator lore properly retconned the whole Hish / Amengi + BossFilms design into something much more satisfying in my opinion.)
Postscript: Ironically our podcast hit today discussing this very book!

- Sep 01, 2021, 04:34:19 PMAs someone who likes the "Predator stole their technology" theory, I wouldn't go as far as to say "they're not very smart." I would have omitted that dialogue. But it's easy to work around anyway - they didn't see any techs or engineers because they were on a hunting preserve. Unless some of the engineers or techs went for their jollies here too, how many of us would know how to fix our cars if they broke down? That's why we have specialists we take them too.

I've already head-cannoned that Isabelle was talking about the Super Predators.
I like that idea much better...lol
