Prey struck Hulu in the US and Disney Plus Star elsewhere on the planet last month. The movie brings the Predator series back to 1719 and sees one of the alien hunters taking on Comanche Nation tribespeople like Naru (Amber Midthunder). Also, its definitely excellent and ranks amongst the very best entries in the series.” More sci-fi movies should take this sort of grounded technique, and this franchise needs to just pit its alien hunters against people in superbly realized historic settings from now on,” I composed in my CNET review. “For now though, stick around and offer Prey a watch.” This experience develops to a remarkable ending, hints at what happened later in its stunning animated credits series and includes an incredible recommendation to 1990s Predator 2. Lets dive in– but be cautioned: This stuff will make you a SPOILER Tyrannosaurus, similar to me.We can kill itHaving seen her fellow Comanche Nation warriors and the deeply unpleasant French poachers butchered by the Predator, Naru lures the beast into a trap in the dark forest. She eliminates it utilizing a mix of her understanding of the environment, the weapons shes gathered (including a familiar flintlock pistol with the engraving “Raphael Adolini 1715”– more on that later) and the Predators own tech.Covered in the aliens luminous green blood, she brings its decapitated head back to camp and is honored as a hunter by her tribe. It mirrors the series in which her sibling Taabe (Dakota Beavers) did so with the lion previously in the motion picture, after she failed to. In killing the Predator that took Taabes life, Naru has proved herself to be the peoples biggest badass.And they all lived happily ever after. Except … Predator revenge?We get a supercool animated wrap-up of the films events over the first section of the credits, with one extra wrinkle. The last image pans to show a Predator ship coming out of storm clouds over Narus camp, indicating that the aliens attacked once again. Which doesnt seem sporting of the Predators– you lost guys, go home.Naru might have dealt with the Predators again.

Its possible that they left Naru in peace and the image is a metaphor for later hunts involving humans, because the initial Predator and its follows up reveal that the aliens are kinda obsessed with fighting us.That might be wishful thinking though, since the flintlock handgun Naru got from killed French poacher Raphael (Bennett Taylor) uses us a clue. Its on her belt when she returns to camp, however fans will know it reveals up later on in the series.Raphael Adolini 1715In Predator 2, which takes location in 1997, LAPD Lt. Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover) and the main Predator– understood as the City Hunter– battle on one of the aliens ships.
They might have eliminated Naru (because the credits image suggests they assaulted her again), allied with her (humans are accepted by Predators in the Alien vs. Predator comics and the 2004 film) or simply retrieved it after she died.Prey obviously overwrites the occasions of the 1996 comic Predator: 1718, in which one of the aliens teams up with a pirate captain to fight his mutinous crew. The films Raphael, the just one of the French poachers who does not act like a total dirtbag, is most likely the one whose name is etched on the weapon.The Alien vs. Predator comics were initially released by Dark Horse, but the license transferred to Marvel in the wake of moms and dad company Disney snatching the Alien and Predator rights after its 2019 Fox acquisition.
