![]() ![]() Always a Bigger Fish: Before it meets any humans, the Predator spends its time hunting Earth's own predators, each more dangerous than the last a snake, a wolf, a bear, and finally the Comanche hunters and the French trappers.Agent Scully: Taabe and other Comanche hunters have a hard time believing Naru's claims that there's something monstrous in the plains.Actually Pretty Funny: Taabe and Naru's mother laughs with Naru as the latter makes a joke at Taabe's expense.Hell, she's shown as an effective fighter before she even fights the Predator, winning a one-on-one fight with a fellow Comanche tribe member and killing the surviving members of the French hunting party on her own. Action Girl: Naru naturally fulfills this trope, being the one to face off against the Predator.Granted, a significant portion of the movie emphasises her diligence in sharpening it. Naru's tomahawk deserves an honourable mention too, considering it effortlessly buries itself in her enemies with every strike and throw.Bonus points goes to its Absurdly Sharp Shield, which not only cuts straight through tree trunks like nothing, but it can cut through solid stone. As always, the Predator's array of bladed weapons slice through flesh and bone like a hot knife through butter, easily lopping off limbs (including its own) and heads every fight.Trachtenberg has also implied that ideas are being discussed for a possible expansion of the franchise. The film was released on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ internationally on the 5th of August. When she discovers a danger that threatens her camp, she sets out to prove herself, even as she soon learns that the danger is stronger than she ever imagined. Set in 1719, in the Great Plains of North America, the film focuses on the young Comanche hunter Naru, who aspires to be a great warrior. The film is the fifth installment in the Predator film series, serving as a shake-up for the franchise, as it focuses on a time period in the distant past rather than the modern day, and is also the first in the series to be produced by Disney. The film stars Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Michelle Thrush, and Dane DiLiegro, the latter of whom plays the Feral Predator. It could help drive subscribers due to the recognition of the iconic brand, and because it was not made for theaters, it could go straight to Hulu, and possibly avoid any similar negative box office headlines the previous film generated.Prey is a 2022 Action Horror film directed by Dan Trachtenberg ( 10 Cloverfield Lane). ![]() Prey, being part of a popular but not immediate box office hit franchise like Predator, made it ideal for the studio to release on streaming. ![]() Yet they had not had a big franchise premiere the same way Disney+ or HBO Max had during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hulu originals have primarily been on the smaller side, purchasing critically praised films like Nomadland and Palm Springs, or the holiday film Happiest Season. If they were sent to streaming, it would have to go to HBO Max, and Disney did not want to give their competitor a new streaming film. This is why during the COVID-19 pandemic, none of the 20th Century Fox films like New Mutants, Death on the Nile, The Bob's Burger's Movie, or The Kings Man could be sent to Hulu. When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox in 2019, the deal with HBO was still in effect, meaning that Disney had to honor it and no movie in production or filmed for theatrical release could go to Disney-owned streaming services like Disney+ or Hulu. The creation of HBO Max meant that it would be the service for 20th Century Fox films, making the streamer a must-have for filmgoers. In 2012, 20th Century Fox made a deal with HBO to make the premium cable network home to the studio's films after their theatrical window, and the deal was set for 10 years. ![]()
