40:27 LOL man that's a great reaction. That's the kind of face you make when you hear your friends honest opinion about something you never would've thought they say.
@ I saw it the day it came out, so my message said save me from seeing it AGAIN. And I saw it because it’s a movie and it’s wintertime and there’s not a lot to do so any movie that comes out, especially a comic book movie, is worth a shot from me, even if chances are that it’s not good. Better than sitting in the house in the dark depressing wintertime here in Ohio.
There's this one panel in Immortal Thor that I've seen making the rounds online lately where Thor pretty much disses the concept of powerscaling in general, since heroes like him have fought threats more powerful than them all the time and they still manage to beat the odds and win anyway, and I really like the sentiment behind that
@@halfmettlealchemist8076 Also Lex Luthor knows superman is stronger and faster then him and fights him anyway, The humans in Xmen comics know Mutants are stronger then them and that is why they want Mutants gone. The power imbalance is what causes the conflict not what solves it
I thought “how can The Predator fight Superman??? Maybe he has a kryptonite spear”… which just made me think of Superman saying the name of the Predator’s mom, and the Predator goes “Why’d you say that name? WHY’D DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!” Lol
But since the Predator has never recorded someone yelling that, it responding would be in incomprehensible predator language and just be him yelling before cloaking and running away to brutally (and heroically) murder a room full of henchmen and save Martha Kent.
Sal's Predator in the fortress of solitude is such a good idea cause it could also be that the Predator doesn't even want Superman, it wants the animal that makes it sick, then it realises that there's a whole zoo of things no one else will ever get to kill again at his feet.
*Superman:* "Hey, guys. How's your Health Plan?" *Mercenaries who have seen Superman muster up the last of his Kryptonian abilities 47 times, seen a monster slice their coworkers to ribbons, and work for a guy whose Science Water has a higher chance of killing them than not:* attacks Superman *Superman:* "Apparently it's great!"
Just imagine the Yautja encounter Doomsday in an early form. And both sides constantly evolve fighting each other. Doomsday learns to resist over and over, and the Yautja just get better and better at killing.
2 issue mini. Thor vs Predator. It’s a prequel when Loki and Thor younger and still friends. They are searching one of the 9 realms (looks suspiciously like a Norwegian Forrest) to find Thor’s hammer that Loki hid on a bet. Along with them are some generic Asgardian guards. Meanwhile a predator lands on the planet in search of some powerful artifact. While there he decides to pick off some Asgardians for fun while Thor and Loki kick it into high gear looking for the hammer. Issue 1 ends as Thor and Loki barely make it to the hammer as the final Asgardian guard falls only to find it’s been lifted by the predator. After all, is there another hunter as worthy as him? Issue 2 then involves Loki and Thor using their brains and brawn’s in unison to take down the supercharged predator together. Maybe issue 2 ends with an implication that Loki thinks he did all the work and that “without that Hammer my idiot brother is useless compared to me!” Leave the last page on a stinger in which the Predator enters either Hel or Valhalla in which he could return for more shenanigans in the case that the book sells well. Alternatively Kraven versus the Predator: Ultimate Hunters. Writes itself.
In regards to the Predators contingency plans for losing/failing, in Predator Concrete Jungle the game "Scarface" (the predator) has his ship linked to his gauntlet for self destruction. Funny enough he survives the explosion and gets exiled for 100 years on another hostile alien planet before being picked back up to clean up his mess on earth lol, with humanity having reversed engineered Predator tech. In terms of AvP requiem not the biggest fan however Wolf acting as the cleanup crew so shit like that won't happen will always be cool
This why Batman v Predator movie should have been made a long time ago. Marvel pick up the stick Daredevil v Predator. It's writes itself! Hell I'll do it myself
Maybe it’s because I have lot more comic knowledge from the internet rather than reading the actual comics, (I don’t think I’ve read any Black Panther, maybe a few things) but I liked Predator vs Black Panther! I wasn’t fond of how it ended, felt very abrupt, hoping for a continuation, and I could see arguments for some things being done better, but I still liked it!
Strangely this was one of the first Superman books I ever read and really remember loving it as a kid. Always rated Maleev’s art a lot. Was glad to add the paperback to my library years ago and feel that nostalgia hit!
I love how Ben asks totally reasonable questions about the plot and they just explain it away with comic reasoning every time. To be fair that is basically comics in a nut shell.
I want to see Deadpool Vs Predator where the Predator kills Wade, cuts off his head, and is polishing his skull when the skull opens its eyes and starts biting the predator. Like a comedy-horror from the Predator's POV where Deadpool's severed limbs keep growing into new Deadpools. In the end the Predator just leaves after too many Deadpool hijinx, and warns other Yaut'ja against ever going to Earth because the planet is messed up.
When you were talking about Superman picking people up and dropping them, i couldn't help but flash back to the end of Dogma where Afflec is doing the same.
You know what could have been a fun crossover for DC to do? Predator vs Wonder Woman. Throw Cheetah in there somehow, you can do something fun with that. They made this Superman story work, I feel like Wonder Woman has a closer tie to the idea of hunting, thematically.
I actually really like the thought of it being a retired warriors one way trip last hurrah. Like from our human standards the predator is super fast, agile, and strong but from a Predator standard they could literally be at deaths door.
The original Jungle Hunter was (presumably) doing some recreational hunting, and he’d been doing so in the same area for years^, hence Anna’s story. ^I always assumed it was different predators visiting the same area, but I guess it makes more sense for it to be the same predator. And there’s apparently nothing saying it wasn’t always him The City Hunter (apparently this is from one of toys, so take it with a grain of salt, but from 2021, so maybe not too much salt) was newly Blooded and undergoing his first off world hunt. The Lost Tribe that he was part of didn’t just remain on the ship, they spread out over the globe undergoing their own hunts. The Elder assigned the City Hunter to LA because the the conflict would provide a challenge 1:27:12 That’s actually implied to happen in Predator 2! He pops out the blades, then we get a guy in the infrared and it zooms in at his face!
For Superman vs Predator I think you could do an awesome Fortress of Solitude fight where the Predator gets access to Kryptonian tech weapons or weapons of Supes Rogues and Superman struggles because he doesn't want to kill the Predator and is de- powered when the Predator gets a hold of a Kryptonite weapon and struggles then you either have Superman send the Predator to the Phantom Zone and accidentally gets pulled in as well and they fight it out there. Or have Superman end the fight by unleashing the Black Mercy on the Predator.
I remember this book. As I recall there's some contrived reason as to why Superman is weaker than normal meaning that Predator can actually be a match for him. I didn't care for that.
Superman Vs Aliens was certainly a comic that existed and I read but I honestly can't remember a single thing except Kent disposing of the alien at the end. They didn't even follow their own rules established in the comic.
Sal says Yautja is a stupid name and everyone should just call it the Predator >Watch this episode where Sal is constantly calling the Predator a Yautja Is this what the professionals call character development?
In Alien Predator The Deadliest of Species. There is an image of a Predator ship and on the wall is a skull with Cyclops visor, Wolverine's hand, and skull with Batman's cowl wrapped on it, several Xenomorph heads and something else I don't recognize.
I also think that Predator vs Daredevil is the single best crossover Marvel could do with the Predator. But, I am super excited for Spider-Man vs Predator, though.
Spider-Man on paper should clean house against a Predator. But seeing as how Peter is always holding his punches to not knock someone’s head off cause of his strength and narratively wouldn’t treat it as different as he would any other super-powered crazy at first, there can definitely be a story where he goes up against one that doesn’t just last a few pages.
Re: the predator vs. marvel - Daredevil was my immediate thought as well. That's obviously the most cool and interesting. I'd also like Predator vs. Heroes for Hire, because a predator finding these random bastards with no weapons who are just... stupid hard to kill who showed up on their hunting grounds because they'd been hired to get someone out. The predator could view them as fellow hunters for the same prey. Iron man could be interesting, depending on the iteration - a normal man with a tech brain building his advantages vs. the unstoppable hunter. Tony alone, no back-up, only what he can scavenge, against an unstoppable force that stalks him through his home, or the mountains where he went skiing, or something similar. The Punisher would just kind of be the first movie again, but it might be interesting to drag Frank back into the war? He might have a lot of respect for the Predator by the end, being of the same kind. "This is my murder pet, Frank. He is not very bright, but he is very angry and blood-thirsty, so I keep him around." I think the worst idea might be X-men vs. Predator? Like, I can see how it might be done in an interesting, cool way, leaning in to some mutant guerilla warfare for a bunch of young wierdoes vs. a perfect hunter, or even some Savage Lands stuff but... I know they wouldn't. No wait... Would the Fantastic Four be worse? They might be worse.
At least with Fantastic Four Sue can interact with infared and maybe overiding the cloaking, plus Reed speculating on the Yautja culture. But, yeah Predator against teams just inherently sounds bad, duos like Heroes for Hire works but I don't know about more than two.
I like that the yautja have an established society just because it doesn’t make sense unless they do. It’s like in mass effect 2 how everybody loves to focus on the krogan warlords and blood pack members, but at the end of the day those guys wouldn’t be able to do anything without the krogan mechanics and shamans (who you can meet).
My ideal Predator/Marvel crossover is Hulk. It should start with the Predator hunting a S.H.E.I.L.D. team down only to discover they were transporting Bruce Banner. After Hulking out, the Predator gets to be the one on the run. Make the Hulk the antagonist
While i love us seeing the resurgence of horror icons crossovers with Alien and Predator, it makes me wonder what other one off horror crossovers can work. Personally I think something like Batman vs Pennywise would have potential
re: Galactus eating the predator world. Is it still canon that he always manifests as a member of whatever species he's feeding on? Because that i would like.
The tangent of the Yautja being a peaceful species that banishes the one serial killer Yautja had me in stitches!
Made way too much sense.
One of my favorite comic pop tangents now

Watching this makes me want to rewatch JLA vs Predator in all its silliness
I like Sal's thought that the Predator hunt is the Long Walk before they pass
Every time Sal forces me to remember a plot point from "The Predator", I feel like he's saving it from being eaten by the Langoliers.
40:23 - Ethan be like "dude...! You'll get us demonetized, WHATTA HELL?!?!" XDDDD
dude thank god for a new LONG episode
I thought “how can The Predator fight Superman??? Maybe he has a kryptonite spear”… which just made me think of Superman saying the name of the Predator’s mom, and the Predator goes “Why’d you say that name? WHY’D DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!!” Lol
We have to save her
"You are one ugly motherfu..."
"Why did you say that name?!"
But since the Predator has never recorded someone yelling that, it responding would be in incomprehensible predator language and just be him yelling before cloaking and running away to brutally (and heroically) murder a room full of henchmen and save Martha Kent.
Sal's Predator in the fortress of solitude is such a good idea cause it could also be that the Predator doesn't even want Superman, it wants the animal that makes it sick, then it realises that there's a whole zoo of things no one else will ever get to kill again at his feet.
The horror. 😂
Ethan’s reaction is gold 😂
It would be great if the predator was trying to hunt Superman, but could only ever find Clark Kent and give up

Here's an idea: superman sees the predator trophies, and gets the idea of preserving last species.
I actually just recently read this. I remember when i finished thinking “well that didn’t suck”. Great episode though!
You’d think it would suck though
Just imagine the Yautja encounter Doomsday in an early form. And both sides constantly evolve fighting each other. Doomsday learns to resist over and over, and the Yautja just get better and better at killing.
The predator looks at Superman whaling at the wall, "see this is why we stopped poisoning the ships it drives the prey stark raving mad."

I dont know, but it keeps happening.
