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
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.
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
*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.
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
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!
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!
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 the Predator standard they could literally be at deaths door.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Not only "thought" but also "wanted to know"... XDD
The predators being actually cultured and the ones we see being the outliers had me dying 😂😂😂
A 2 hour back issues saving me from going to see Kraven the clunker again! 🎉
Are you kidding me? You should watch that movie. You are going to miss their most iconic line of all time!!
**Kraven: I'm Kraven for your defeat**
@ maybe if I start kraving a big screen some popcorn I’ll go see it again.
Why would you want to see it AT ALL...?

Watching this makes me want to rewatch JLA vs Predator in all its silliness
"Pr-editor" is freaking hilarious Sal. Top notch wordplay.
dude thank god for a new LONG episode
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. 😂
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.
I like Sal's thought that the Predator hunt is the Long Walk before they pass
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?!"
I will never stop loving the predator crossover back issues, pure shlocky bliss

You’d think it would suck though

34:24 - "You seem buff...BLAMO!" Ahaha, I died laughing)) XDD
It would be great if the predator was trying to hunt Superman, but could only ever find Clark Kent and give up
**Predators staring at heat signature of Clark** 👓
[Clacking mandibles in frustration] 🤔
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."
Here's an idea: superman sees the predator trophies, and gets the idea of preserving last species.
It was a matter of time that you guys would cover this and you guys did not disappoint!😂🙏🏽
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.
Oh man nearly 2 hour long episode? We eatin good tonight😊
I would love a show hosted by Ethan calling out the science in comics

WHAT IS WITH PREDATOR STORIES HAVING MENTAL DISORDERS AS PLOT POINTS!
I dont know, but it keeps happening.
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!
With an opening like that, I can’t wait to see what this episode entails :)
Gotta love the new haircut Ben.
Read this years ago, the title was my take away as well LOL.
Yep superman fought predator once and never again until JLA vs Predator and Batman & Superman vs Aliens & Predators
Hey 1 day before Superman trailer…huh…coincidence….I THINK NOT
1:43:33 This is such an awesome idea; I really hope Marvel follows through with it sooner rather than later.

It's very funny that the Youtja EFFECTIVELY have their own Prime Directive.

Just saw the title and came here to ask if they go on a pirate ship
Nice haircut
Superman vs predator sign me up this is going to be tons of fun. 😊
