Prey Catch All Thread

Depends on how big Trachtenburg wanted the roar to be.

[Doomofman]

That side on shot already makes the roar look wider than Wolf's (and I actually think this design is going to be closest to Wolf's out of all the designs we've seen before)

In the final CGI shot of the trailer, we can roughly see that the mouth seem to open pretty wide.

I can see those similarities with the way Wolf's face design was maybe. As long as the mandibles can close naturally without seeming too disproportionate. I am still very interested in the result & how it's shot.

Keep maybe seeing how the inner-teeth with this new Feral Predator has multiple teeth on the top & bottom rows. Most original designs (aside Scar in AVP) had the 2 top teeth & several bottom ones. So that might add a new subtle look possibly.

I did try to quickly brighten up some of the trailer shots to see the design more:






*Wolf's design wasn't perfect but was able to snag a decent shot or two in AVPR. So hoping for the same with this Feral Predator.

Seeing those trailer screenshots and Wolf side by side just reinforces the thought I had that his top mandibles get in the way of his eyes. Though maybe it's like our nose where the brain just essentially edits it out of view

Jesus Christ, no wonder Voodoo left, these might be the most horizontally stretching mandibles of all time and will absolutely have huge flappy lumps.

Yeah I'm pretty well prepared to dislike the design of this preds face but I'll give it a chance first.

As long as the movie is good though I can live with an ultra crabator.

[BigDaddyJohn]

I can't wait to see the eyes. It's what gives soul to these creatures after all.

I still think Dane pulled a sly one with that bigfoot suit pic and the orange contacts he was wearing there are actually going to be the feral's eyes

Looking at that brightened-up screenshot definitely gives that impression. Perhaps this one's eyes are going to be higher up compared to previous designs? It definitely looks like he's got a more pronounced forehead that sticks out compared to the rest of his head, and the largely flat foreheads of other Predators, so maybe the eyes will kinda be surrounded a bit more by that for a more menacing look?

Either way, I'm super curious to get a good, proper look at him in the film.

To me, it can't be good with a crabator onboard, the design is essential.
Imagine if City hunter had Scar's face. Anyway it's too late.

[426Buddy]

City Hunter had a couple really wonky face effects too, but still a great film.

If AvP or AvPR had been great movies I would have forgiven the effects.

City hunter looks great but his mouth moves pretty choppy and chunky sometimes, along with some folding like ADI does. Even Jungle Hunger had a bit of a floppy head at some points. The best aren't even perfect. Let's wait and see until the actual product comes out so we can view it in context, instead of quick cut frames from the trailer meant to get us all talking.
