[SPOILERS] Feral Predator Design Thread

[AnthaiHero]

Okay, one thing that really bothered me was the design of the fingers and hands during the scene Feral is attending to his wounds. It reminded me of the hot dog fingers from Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Maybe I missed, but did the mask supply this Predator with breathing gases?  Or has that been totally forgotten/retconned?

I don't think the movies ever really established that. Why would they take off their masks for a fight if they needed them for breathing? City Hunter uses his breathing apparatus after being shot a few times, but it wasn't meant to help with breathing. That's how I've always seen it.

The masks always supplied gases. Removing them always involved unplugging what we assume is life support.

Like presumably they can manage without but it's not ideal.

It's been gone a while now, hasn't it?

I kinda assumed they were unplugging a link to the shoulder pack kind of thing. Like unplugging a computer. But yeah, you do hear an atmospheric hiss once he unplugs. Probably could have been a bit of both.

That's why I'm asking the Predator pundits.  Did these things stop needing breathing masks after they started juicing autism?

You don't just hear it, you see gases coming out.

There are two cables traditionally, I think. Presumably one connects to the gauntlet, the other to life support.

No, pretty sure Predators ditched them first for the Super Predators.

I think the main concern should be with the design of Ferel's face..

 why do they need to do Stan Winston a disservice and disrespect him by changing his design.

why did they need to change the face!?... it takes all validity away. The design change was to extreme to brush off.

It's unfortunate I'll never see another predator movie with predator in it.

I'm not sure why they feel the need to keep changing the facial structure. It's disrespectful to what Stans team achieved.

We don't even need to get to disrespect, it's just bizarre that you'd bother to tell a film in this franchise but so clearly think that the central antagonist wasn't good enough for you.

Will you restore them in 2030?

Yeah. It keeps happening though. Will we ever see a true Predator again?

This wouldve been a fine "Feral" face



...or even this

You bet your ass I will

It reminds me of how nostalgic I feel to see Big Chap's design in a new Alien movie, which never happens.

But that's... City Hunter.
