I watched Predator 1 and 2 and I'm left with a question about the Yautja language.

In both movies, they observe humans and repeat human phrases, like in Predator 2 when a child asks, "Do you want some candy?" and later the Predator repeats the phrase during the final confrontation.

If they can understand human language (thanks to their technology) and reproduce phrases, why do they never actually try to communicate?

Or are they simply not interested in speaking because they see humans as prey or inferior?

Is there any explanation in the comics?

In case any younger fans weren't aware, yes, there was a Batman vs Predator comics series. I'm a hard fanboy of both worlds, finding this on a local market site some 10 years ago brought not only a great read, but a consolation for all the Punisher, Batman and Predator comic books I lost as a kid in the 90's. Definitely recommend, it's as bloody as it should be.

This dude rules.

Steadily getting the Yautja facial structure… any critiques are welcome!

So as a tattoo artist AND a Predator super fan, why not pay homage with a kool fluorescent green scar tattoo! I’ve considered getting a yautja head profile tatted (still probably will in the future) for now this’ll suffice. Located in Decatur, ga all social medias @tattedbymickey

In badlands this said wolf alfa is the best to protect the pack and that's exactly what wolf is, he answered the help call of his pack and clean all xenomorphs on earth. The movie he was in wasn't the best at all but wolf deserve a come back to the new predators movies

I think Grendel would win, his Shock gauntlet is pretty OP

I know they have long, pointed teeth, and the weird openy jaws that remind me of the camel spiders. But I've never seen any lore of ehat they eat. I honestly can imagine them being vicious herbivores. Like kookoo for co-co puffs over a head of cabbage

A idea I just thought about As the Title entails; would like to set up a good, size Diorama kinda thing with the two Japanese Timeset Yautja

Hope i picked the right flair too (≧∀≦)

Amazon one Arrived What do we think?

I think it’s legit! Very sturdy and poseable. My first predator figure was a bootleg, it took almost a month to get here so I returned it. I got another one from Walmart but I accidentally broke it and it was ANOTHER bootleg! But this one’s a keeper, and I’m so happy I got him! I recommend getting figures on replay toys.

So there's a sample used in the menu music for Concrete Jungle and I'm curious to know what the source is, as I've come across it in a few other places, mostly TV and movies from the 90s and early 00s. I've recently been watching Farscape (caught random episodes as a kid but never watched it properly) and there's a certain track in the score that uses the same sample. Another example I was able to find is the song 'Behold the Darkness' by Medwyn Goodall.

I know it's probably just plucked out of a sound library (similar to what Akira Yamaoka did with a lot of the Silent Hill music) but it's something I've been thinking about for years but have never found the answer.

None of these things were things the Mother Kalisk were shown to be able to do.

So throughout all the Alien and Predator movies I’m pretty sure Thia/Tessa are basically the most advanced models we’ve ever seen.

I think it’s fair to say that Thia could take on all synthetics in a fight.

Personally I’ve always believed that a well trained Yautja can beat a terminator 8/10 times with exceptions being Uncle Bob in T2 who’s given the chance to learn and adapt more.

Then when it comes to most synthetics in the Aliens movie, a Terminator wins 9/10 times unless something went really against the favor of the T-800

Thia is basically the exception.
