I love Ben's pitch that it started as a hunt, that over the centuries becomes some kind of Predator courtship ritual and Wolverine is really none the wiser for the majority of it.
A pitch that has restraint: A Predator stalks Captain America across a dead empty battlefield during WWII. A pitch that has no restraint: A Predator who's been in Valhalla for a couple thousand years tears shit up, and Thor ends up being hunted by this magically enhanced ancient super Predator
A perfect pitch: A Predator in Vietnam/Iraq (but it'd be better if it'd be Vietnam) at the time of Frank Castle's service. Rainy jungle, gooks and...the first Predator movie again, I guess? XD
Wolverine tells the poker night group about how he finally killed the predator that was chasing him for years and Captain America is like whaaaaaaaaat I killed a predator too
Both these pitches are amazing, but I would also like you to consider: long ago, a Predator on Earth was exposed to gamma radiation, and became something so unspeakable that their own fellow hunters had to seal them away. But now, it has awakened once again, and Bruce Banner finds himself on the run from this new monster…a monster seeking the strongest prey on Earth. *Al Ewing presents: THE IMMORTAL PREDATOR*
Well, they already solicited a sequel, 'Predator vs Black Panther.' I'm sure that they'll do more as long as Ben Percy wants to keep on writing Predator crossovers.
I love predator Vs daredevil pitch simply because I want to see predator simultaneously figuring out that 1) his cloak is useless against him and 2) also figuring out that he can't see with his eyes
Ben's onto something. A good romance starts with you trying to hunt and make trophies out of each other for decades. A bad romance starts with rah, rah-ah-ah-ah Roma, roma-ma Gaga, ooh-la-la!
Punisher, Kraven the Hunter, & Venom would be great for a Predator crossover… but I’d also love a Deadpool crossover where it just becomes a twisted & violent Bugs Bunny/Elmer Thudd cartoon, with Deadpool continually escaping the Yautja in more and more comedic ways
You have no idea how badly I wanted this book to have a moment where the scientists walk into a heavily-secured room and there’s just a big splash-page reveal of a Xenomorph in a stasis tank that just says “WEAPON XM” on the front in big letters Edit: I’d also like to add that the post-credits tease for this panel should say, *TO BE CONTINUED IN: ALIEN VS WOLVERINE!!!* Like, tell me you wouldn’t be hyped for that, come on.
On the subject of Predator personalities, in the Big Game comic, the first thing that one does is blow up a boar with a plasma cannon and then showboat about it. Sometimes they really don’t care about the sport of it, like a lot of real hunters.
I want a Predator Crossover with Punisher, Moon Knight, Blade, or Daredevil. These are all good possible alternatives to doing someone other than Wolverine.
Thank you guys so much for what you. I’m a data tech at a school district that deals with a lot of data input and working on a computer for hours. Listening to your show and comedy makes my day go by fast and fun!
Ok, new pitch. Predator vs. Peter Pan (from Peter Pan and the Pirates a Fox Kids now Disney property)....on a pirate ship. Ever so much more than 20 indeed!
@@cullenn2100 i doubt it was ever referenced directly again, but I do like the idea of this basically throwaway crossover that would be totally forgotten today most likely actually had pretty big repercussions on mainline continuity.
I'm here for Ben's Wolverine/Predator, enemies to lovers, crack fan fic! Edit: Give me Predators vs the Marvel Universe at this point. Just a whole crew of predators hunting down heroes.
I know you already hate this but I thought it was Yautja (ya-oot-dja) . These books are awesome, but yea I want some old school Alien vs Predator crossover again. Maybe something picking up at the end of Machiko Noguchi's story. You guys are hilarious, thanks for everything you do.
id love if there was a variant cover for this supposed daredevil vs predator comic, where the two of them are in a symmetrical kind of standoff, but its drawn/designed where the predator looks like how daredevil would "see" him, and daredevil is shown in that infrared vision tech that predator has.
As soon as Marvel published a Predator comic, this is the exact story I needed Marvel to make and I loved this series. Great episode! Also I felt the exact same way when they hired Greg Land lol
My pitch: Predator vs Black Panther. It would have a bit of irony to it, considering in the comics, T’Chala’s first 2 appearances had him hunting the Fantastic Four. Plus the Predator having to deal with a even fight, T’Chala’s already biologically augmented, and you get Predator tech and weapons vs Vibranium tech and weapons. Have the Predator stalk T’Chala in Birnin Zana, and then shoots down T’Chala whilst he’s in a Quinjet, heading to New York with a diplomatic attaché and possibly a member of the Dora Milaje, (you need bodies in a predator story) and have them crash into the jungle or the savanna. Maybe the Predator get their hands on the Heart-shaped Herb and are met by the Predator God/ The Final Hunter in a vision quest. Might even get a cameo/assist from Klonven the Hunter? There’s a lot of cool things you could do.
I'm sure I'm biased toward my favorite character, but Hulk vs. Predator feels like a no-brainer. Like this book you could have it go through Hulk's history. The Predator has to figure out that Banner and Hulk are the same person and how to trigger their change. Then it could be that the Predator is too honorable to attack Banner, so it has to wait. Or it's not honorable and it assassinates Banner and goes to take it home, but Hulk transforms mid-flight and the ship crashes and the Predator becomes the hunted. I'm just spit balling here, but I think there's really something to Hulk vs. Predator.
As for future Predator/Marvel stories, how about one where Hawkeye isn’t the prey but notices a pattern in ‘assassination attempts’ around a cartel or military unit and begins to track down their killer, who just so happens to be a Pred. So it’d be Clint trying to prevent further killings and having to be really inventive in how he deals with the Predator without putting himself directly in the firing line. Or a subversion, where Kraven the Hunter becomes aware of a Predators’ stomping ground and begins to pursue and track the alien, planning to hunt and kill the creature. The Predator becomes the prey for Marvel’s most obsessive hunter!
The best time of the week! I always look forward to the sal-acious and ben-anas ethan-usiasm y'all provide us Speaking of diminishing returns, what if we do: Predator vs X-23 Predator vs Daken Predator vs Honey Badger
Or what about a venom vs predator that would be epic or kraven from spider man fighting a predator I mean he's a hunter the predator is a hunter it could work lol
14:23 Most Predators who happen to be discovered at one point or another do end up becoming urban legends or mistaken for them, yes. My favorite example of this is Predator: Nemesis, where a single Predator hunting in 1800's English territory gets mistaken for a Rakshasa (a local demon) in an Indian colony, and later turns out to be the source of the cryptid known as Spring-Heeled Jack. This is actually fuckin perfect because ol' Jack here was an actual cryptid that caused quite a bit of mass histeria amongst British people, and was said to be an extremely acrobatic humanoid with fire red eyes, hands that ended in what seemed like steel claws and the ability to imitate people's voices, spit blue or red fire and perform enormous, gravity-defying leaps. That is a dead-ringer for a Predator and whoever came up with this story idea is a true genius. Funnily enough, however, Sasquatch is an actual creature in AvP lore completely unrelated to either Aliens or Predators. He appears in an anthology book (one of many published since the 90's) under a story called "The Beast", if I'm not mistaken.
I almost didn’t buy this book cause I thought Greg Land did the art, good to know he only did part of it so I feel fine grabbing this amazing concept of a book!
Venom vs Predator would be really cool. Get some cool lore of the Predators hunting symbiotes on different planets and by the end you could have Venom face off against a Predator wearing a symbiote.
I do feel like the obvious pitch is Punisher vs Predator written by Garth Ennis that takes place during the Vietnam War. However, a book I think would be personally more interesting is Nick Fury vs Predator during WW2. Have Ennis go nuts in a setting he loves with a character he enjoys writing. The "Money" pitch would just be Deadpool vs Predator and have it be a fun schlocky and gruesome romp, filled with all the signature movie references.
44:41 I love the fact that the Predator (I don’t know how to spell their races name) is supposably this species that hunts challenging species for fun, it has its own honor system…yet they can also be really petty asf and hold grudges that were set hundreds of years ago!
Predator vs blank panther. You would have to find a way to write around some of wakanda's high tech weaponry but come on its superhero comics. If they can give the flash cool and compelling fights a black panther vs predator fight should be easy to figure out.
Someone get C. B. Cebulski's number to Ben so he can pitch Predator/Wolverine: A Romance every three months until it happens. Also: Wolverine might be the platonic ideal for the Marvel/Predator crossover. Predator vs. Venom is my next best. Who's gonna draw the symbiote Predator?
Ben thought of the Predator & Wolverine romance a little too fast😂 and top 5 romances in Marvel also I was so invested with the blade being sold that when his hand was chopped off it left me weak
This story made me realize something due to the bear and all. Wolverine is basically a cannibal's best friend. He's literally an inexhaustible source of meat....😮
14:04 Hold on! According to the first two films, predators hunt in humid, hot, tropical environments like South America or post-smog-collapse Los Angeles
Pre-order the Predator vs Wolverine trade paperback! amzn.to/4c3p1n4
please do inhumans by jenkins i'm a huge inhumans fan but there is only one video about inhumans and it's death of inhumans.

I really hope there a scene where a Wolverine goes “Cyclops, you son of a bitch” and then the two grab each other’s arms in a flex off lol
I am missing Collossus‘ shiny biceps in this scenario
Doesnt happen but would be kinda funny. Especially if cyclops ended up being a dickweed who lured wolverine into a ambush like a moron.

Predator vs Punisher or Kraven would be great.
I’d love to see a Spider-Man vs Predator comic myself, since then you could have both Kraven and/or Venom show up to help Spidey.
I love that the Predator in this book is just super petty and bad at his job lol.
Ben.. thank you for that just.. thank you for the Old Woverine vs Old Predator..
Wolverine X Predator is a real tear jerker.
I also love how Ben Percy was persistent about his pitch. Dreams can come true!
When you play predator as an adult Chris Hansen unlocks as a selectable character
That was smart, I'll give you that.
Following CinamontoastKen?))
“I’m …not gonna think about it” I almost peed my pants Ethan lol 😂
Ethan absolutely losing it each time sal says the name of the predators was hilarious
I love that they said yautja wrong every time. 🤣
AHA! I KNEW IT!!
Thanks for confirmation))
P.S. "The Year of the yauya" (c)
And then Wolverine walked away butt ass naked with the dagger as 'Don't you forget about me...' plays in the backround like the end of a 80's movie.
Was not expecting Doug Dimmadome trying to sell me a predator dagger
Killer Whales have been known to eat Moose so I'm going to assume the Predator fought the Orca after it took his orginal target. 18:20
Since Wolverine recovered all of his memories in House of M, it stands to reason that is how he remembers fighting the Predator.
The Weapon-X scientists reaction to the predator makes me think THEY should find some xenomorphs.
You have no idea how badly I wanted this book to have a moment where the scientists walk into a heavily-secured room and there’s just a big splash-page reveal of a Xenomorph in a stasis tank that just says “WEAPON XM” on the front in big letters
Edit: I’d also like to add that the post-credits tease for this panel should say, *TO BE CONTINUED IN: ALIEN VS WOLVERINE!!!* Like, tell me you wouldn’t be hyped for that, come on.
Marvel: No Plans
This bums me out, just how accurate this is haha

I want to see all 3 minutes of Predator vs Hulk.
Ben's Peter pan predator pitch has to be a short. Hilarious!

Oh my god, with Blade vs Predator you could have Vampire Predator!
Ben was on fire in this episode 🔥great video guys
That auction speech at the end... XD

Ok, new pitch. Predator vs. Peter Pan (from Peter Pan and the Pirates a Fox Kids now Disney property)....on a pirate ship. Ever so much more than 20 indeed!
Whenever I hear Kratos saying "Boy" in that familiar tone I think " They totally stole that from 90s Captain Hook".....
Turns out the pirates were skrulls all along....and the predator too...peter get real confused...
I was crying of laughter when they said that 😂😂😂
Seriously ?
Oh '$π!^' that could happen, what a magical time to live in... 😂
Disney+ and/or Hulu should adapt this story into a animated film
Im sad we never got a Batman vs Predator animated movie
I wish Marvel would go all in like Wildstorm did and incorporate Aliens into continuity. That was such a weird idea but I respect it.
They had humongous consequences in one story, but AFAIK they were never encountered again. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I know right lmao 🤣
Predator kills the Marvel Universe feels like something, someone must have pitched.
Oohhh definitely
I've been asking for this ever since Marvel started pumping out Alien and Predator comics
The random jokes in this episode are sooo good😂😂😂
Since this series was announced, I was so excited to see it talked about on the couch 😂

Predator v Daredevil. Predator cannot figure out how Matt can find him cloaked
