[SPOILERS] Feral Predator Design Thread

[goose_3387]

Did they use different sets of hands throughout the film? In the scene where Feral touches and smells the ash (close up shot), the fingers look much better than in other shots.

I wouldn't be shocked if those were CG, just because, as you said, they look a lot thinner in that shot than in some of the others we see them in.

It's a strange one. Can't be that hard to make good practical hands. 😓

It's definitely the eye placement and bulbous forehead that's throwing me off.

I wonder how a more 'normal' Predator would look with the 'head in neck' approach?

There was a photoshop many pages back that only changed the forehead enough to accommodate shifting the eyes to a more traditional position and it looked really good.

^ Found it.

What we got vs what we should have got.

I can't say I agree with "should have got" but dang if I don't wish that's what it looked like.

Yep feel the same.

They knew to make the fingers long and skinny in the OG designs to prevent the hands from having that thick Halloween store monster glove look.

I forgot the mouth and cranium were changed too, probably because they don't irk me like the eyes do.

Don't get me wrong, it's got the features of the Predator's face, but Godzilla 1998 also had Godzilla's dorsal plates, dinosaurian appearance, etc. Bit of an extreme example, but my point remains

Godzilla 98 is way more of a departure from tradition. The Resurrection Alien is more akin to Feral in this context

I absolutely loved the Godzilla 1998 design because it tried something different

Honestly, the more I see it. The more it solidifies the truth. This design is poorly executed and makes absolutely no sense. That is not a predator face. End of the story.

If it is not Stan Winston's design, it is not a predator. That's the truth.

It honestly is just so aggravating. It has totally made me lose interest in what is actually a good movie. Literally have no interest in seeing this movie again because this design is just not a predator.

As I have said before, it is sad to think now with this movies success and praise,  I will never again see another predator movie with predator in it.

[(Bad Blood)]

Sure it isn't Stan Winston's design but it isn't intolerable, the more I see it the more it isn't so bad and I am absolutely a Stan Winston's Predator fan to the core, so if I can accept it then eventually I hope others can as well. However it's all down to personal opinion obviously.

[The Shuriken]

Feral's big sausage fingers are kinda distracting now when compared to the close ups they did when he was smelling the ash. Why are they so thick?

[SiL]

It's weird. The claws are also stubby on the suit but pointed in CGI.

The Bible is for the EU, not the film universe. I've not seen Dan talk about seeing the bible - can you share?

Not sure which videos I shot these snaps from, but they may be referring to these comments.

Yeah pretty much this:

Oh, so if there is one for the EU, does that mean there is two Predator Bibles then?

[SiL]

I don't think the film department gives a shit about it.

[Local Trouble]

I don't think the film department gives a shit about it.

Hasn't Fox always bent over backwards to ensure that their movies abide by every last detail established in the comics and novels though?

Wait.... WHAT?!

Yeah... cause now... I'm confused.

2018's The Predator clearly shows that they don't care.
