Alec Gillis Talks Female Predators [Interview]

[SuperiorIronman]

The Predators at the end of Predator 2 use existing assets with few either being heavy mods to existing parts or made for that scene.
The Greyback either uses the original mask or the same molds to create the Greyback and they then modified it to be as if that Predator was older. Structurally it is the same mask, but they painted it to be older and gave it some quills and horns to make it look different from the original Predator.

I wouldn't know if the osteoderms indicate that they are specifically older seeing as there have been a lot of Predator faces and Predator 2 is the only one that depicts them with facial osteoderms outside of Upgrade and that was a special case. They do possess osteoderms (although I'm pretty sure both Jungle Hunters and Scar's clan don't) but I wouldn't call that an indicator of age because they're inconsistent. The Elders (and we have no idea how old they even are) both possess greying dreads and are meant to be depicted older than their peers.

And as that relates back to aging weaponry, the guns in AVP are meant to be larger caliber.
The idea was that since the Predators are fighting "big game" they need a bigger gun. It's the same reason the rifle variant was used in the original comic because they felt the shoulder cannon was too small to be believable. However not all of the guns are like this because of the three guns in the pyramid, they are of varying sizes. Of course the one Scar uses is fairly large, but there is one in the pyramid that's closer to the regular size guns of the Jungle Hunters. It and its medium sized counterpart are just never used on film. Considering we know Predators live much longer than at least 300 years, 100 year old weapons doesn't seem like that big of an issue considering they are meant to be picked up and used by the teenagers. The ritual more or less is for earning the usage of it and I'd imagine they would be able to replace it for any number of reasons later on. But outside of Wolf picking up another and later converting one into a pistol we have no idea if they are outdated or where the other variants come from to begin with. We only know that Scar's clan performs the ritual, not that it's a regular thing nor know where the weapons come from to begin with.

After rewatching it, again, just the other day, I'm not sure if they were there to earn the right to pick them up. The Predators seem worried by the fact the humans have accessed the weapons vault and start running ahead, like they hadn't anticipated such an eventuality occurring.

Typically, it seems like the weapons being picked up are what then triggers the eggs. It's not meant to be a challenge for the Predators to get to the guns. It's more like them retrieving them is what initiates the facility's automated procedure, like pressing an 'on' button.

So, perhaps Predators not bringing their own along was more of a ceremonial observance. Not a rite of passage. Maybe they're just that arrogant that they didn't consider the natural curiosity of humans gaining access to their weapons storage. After all, the last time it was accessed would have been by loyal priests. Can't imagine the whalers would have known how to open it, if they even ventured down to that area.

[SuperiorIronman]

I don't know how I forgot about the "on" button. If we ever explore that concept again I'm curious what would be explored regarding the weapon. The games have explored the idea that the weapons and armor do carry some sort of significance, so I'd be curious what might be explored regarding the Predator's cannons. I'd love to see something like a campfire scene where a shaman or something explains the significance of the weapons and armor.

Thought just crossed my mind though..., we never see anyone explicitly female in the films.

All of the Predators in Predator 2, AVP, and Requiem are male. There is not a single female among the groups and while you could argue some might be aboard the ship, they are not present to watch City Hunter's battle with Harrigan nor the battle with the Queen. They aren't even present in the flashback in either scenario. That part is especially interesting to me because we never see one participate in the ritual. Sure they might do it and we just never saw those events, but it is curious. Now the real world answer is that it's just easier to redress the stunt and hero suits, but the females are curiously absent from the hunts and ritual even on their home turf. Wolf is also to our knowledge the only Predator present in the scene which is said to even be on the homeworld. So Wolf is not only solitary but he has a fairly large collection and that's only his gear. Sure it could belong to others but we have no reason to believe he's anywhere else but his lair. To me the better question isn't what they look like but more, where are all the women at?

Amusingly there is also the thought that even if they don't have breasts, their pecs (assuming the waist is still relative to some form of birth process)would still be scaled up to Predator size Meaning that guys on the internet regardless will have the debate of Yaujta boobs. There is no escape.
You think if Predators did get the female Pornhub would make the distinction of mask or no mask? Because somehow I doubt the crab face would stop people.

I'm a little surprised this in question. Lex even says they took the guards guns and disrupted the balance.

We don't know what gender the ones we've seen are - or if even have any genders. They might have been a mixture, without gender or even all exclusively female.

They could also have some really bizarre arrangement, like anglerfish, where the males are literally microscopic vampiric parasites who attach for life.

Did I mention I think a Predator's mouth contains its reproductive organ?

Contains? It is the reproductive organ.

Contains? It is the reproductive organ.

So they breathe through their reproductive organ?
