The Predator Novelization

[KiramidHead]

Goro...

"Subterranean? Is that something like underground?"

[Xiggz456]

Please don't remind me of that goro garbage.

LOL sorry not sorry! No but I thought that it was a pretty silly choice at the time but after the seeing the movie I was like welp there's your explanation for goro pred haha

Quick side note the four armed predator in the "Predators" sequel comic is more plausible now

Spoiler

knowing that the Preds are into genetic manipulation.

100% CANON.

[Kailem]

Wasn't there also a giant, four-armed Predator in the Superman & Batman vs Aliens & Predator comics as well? Even more canon!

[HybridNewborn]

There's a preview clip of the audiobook reading up on Downpour. They got the same guy reading both the prequel novel and this, which is nice. I appreciate it when they do that sort of thing.

There was also an action figure of a four-armed Predator planned for the Hive Wars toyline, had it continued.

Are all the Yautja practicising genetic enhancement on themselves? Any indication as to how long it's been going on?

[TheBATMAN]

That preview clip confirms the novel follows the new 3rd act unfortunately.

Considering none of the predators outside of the ones on The Predator did that, I'm don't think so. That might be expanded if there is a sequel and I doubt the next books will care about mentioning that concept.

There's a bit in the prequel novel from the pred's POV where its ruminating on how it has made some discoveries back home that seem to indicate someone is f**king with the species genome, but then it decides not to worry about the troubling implications of that at the moment and just enjoy the hunt.

[Ultramorph]

That's interesting. In the movie

Spoiler

it does sort of seem like Assassin isn't being experimented on willingly when McKenna sees the little clip through the helmet.

[Corporal Hicks]

It's unclear in the film but from what I remember of the script it's supposed to be Fugitive.

[Ultramorph]

That might make more sense. I'm sure the novel will clear it up.

[The Old One]

Indeed.

[Xenomrph]

My copy will be here tomorrow.

Truth be old I haven't finished reading the prequel novel yet, I'm not sure if I'll finish that first or dive right into the novelization.
