Quote from: Doomofman on Oct 12, 2021, 12:15:33 PMFor me it just demystifies them too much.
Just as much as also knowing if they are male or female IMO.
Well, with the cod piece, pectoral muscles, etc. etc., I'd say most general audiences view and refer to the Predators they've seen as "hes" versus "it" (like with Alien) so I believe those same audiences already believe there are female Predators out there... so I wouldn't see any demystifying going on there, if what we saw in the below pic was hunting Comanche.
So to me, seeing a female Predator doesn't come close in regards to demystifying the creature, as reading dialogue like this would...
"Great one, there's life on the third planet from the sun!"
"Yes, I see Cha-Tuck! Much hunting to be had!"
"Aye, much Skulls to collect. More trophies for our wall!"
"We will have many kills this day!"
"We go at once! Land the Ship on that mountain Cha-tuck!"
To me, the more of this dialogue occurs in a film, the more it demystifies, the worse it gets. I say to some degree, treat the Predator like Michael Myers in a slasher movie, and I'll be smiling ear-to-ear.
