I appreciate how you address that issue in Hollywood about autism. As a autistic man, I can tell you that nothing annoys me more than people saying that my autism gives me some kind of superpower. I had a cousin who asked me to look at his taxes when he found out I had autism. This is the same genius, who just 30 minutes earler, was going on & on about how autism was caused by vaccines. I was so annoyed that I told him off & revealed to him that I was autistic.
I get that there are idiots out there that take the tropes and stereotypes used in movies too literally, but that's not a problem of the stereotype being used in said movies, that's a problem of the person being ignorant. Realistically, movies require some amount of generalization. Characters have to be simplified to their stereotypes to at least some degree as part of introduction within storytelling, and it's unrealistic to expect writers to fully flesh out a character past what is absolutely necessary in just an hour or two. I'm just glad that of the two options for portraying me and people like me, hollywood tends towards the one that portrays us as smart. Their other option isn't quite so flattering.
I'm Autistic, and I think I can understand what that would bring to the Predator's Race. It's probably the fact that every sense is dialed up to eleven. The only issue is the feedback that we get from it, so I don't think it would be worth getting that kid's spinal fluid. It would only lead to a failure to evolve.
Same with my adhd. "Well you're so creative and you can get so much done when you're interested!" Yeah I can get half of the obscure random idea I had done, while all my dishes and laundry await the correct alignment of the stars that maybe means I might get around to doing something I actually need to do.
10:16 one of my favorite predators in the comics is this one named lightstepper. He lost his hand during his first xenomorph fight but still won, only for another younger predator to try and steal his kill and credit while he was bleeding out. The one handed one still managed to get help first and they left the thieving one for dead on alien infested waters without any weapons. By the time he's grown he's still kicking all kinds of ass with one hand even though i'm absolutely sure they could make him a prosthetic.
@@CreamCakes420 more of a badge of honor because of what you survived. There was this elder predator in another story who's nickname meant broken tusk cause a Alien broke one of his mandibles teeth. He admits he could have have it fixed but likes how it looks.
As a Predator nerd, I can confirm Lucas pronounced “Yautja” perfectly. Also, many fans of the franchise don’t include the 2018 movie as cannon. Prey was a great return to form.
@Mr Speigel yes but it was so shit. I recommend you to never watch it if you're a fan of the original and it's great sequels. The 2018 movie ruined the franchise's streak and it's barely getting picked up again with the Prey movie. If I could describe the 2018 movie with one word, it would be dogshit
@@Vincentius_Cardinal you are correct, I am painfully aware of its existence. It was like watch the derailment of a train carrying nothing but burning dumpsters
That scene in Predators when the Yakuza challenges one with a katana and the predator detatches his plasma cannon and only fights with the wristblade is another good example of the predators evening the odds. Also there was a predator that was strung up and left to die by the others...bet he was one that ran from the hunt or did something dishonorable.
@@hunterkage2842 Yeah, they were Bad Bloods in Predators. That, more than likely, was a Yautja who was unlucky enough to try to kill them and fail or one who was captured and transported to that planet to be tortured and killed.
@@BlaireSnorlax if that’s true why did one of them fight the yakuza guy honorably? I always thought those three caught a dishonorable predator hiding out on their private hunting ground and strung him up cuz he wasn’t worth killing. I don’t know much novel or comic lore so I’m just spitballing 🤷🏾♂️
@@animetrashamvs Predators sort of had its own lore. The movie by itself only explains that there's some kind of 'Blood feud' that's been going on for a long time where the larger ones (The 3 main preds) hunt the smaller ones (the captured one).
As a fellow autistic person in surprised you weren't already afraid of being hunted by 9 foot tall stabby aliens. It's the only thing worse than getting sucked down the toilet.
The xenomorph skull in Predator 2 is not a queen, it's a warrior/drone. A queen xenomorph skull would have been 8 to 10 times larger and displayed in a forward facing position.
@mahapushpacyavana2033 even if it was a newborn chestburster, queen xenos have a distinctive crown that is vastly different in design compared to a warrior xenos skull.
11:38 I swear! One fuckin line of dialogue could have SAVED the Shane Black Predator movie. If they had somehow communicated that the "Super Predator" was a heretic that was cheating the hunt. The others were sent to kill them.
I thought that it was kind of explained that the "hybrid" was only a bounty hunter of some sort? That he didn't take part in honorable hunts, and who's only job was to track down "criminal" yautja.
You could argue that Dutch and his crew were absolutely worth being cloaked from and picking off one at a time... that mini-gun alone would have shredded ye olden predator.
Came for the alien vs predator… 😂 died at the sex predator….. so glad that wasn’t cut. Pure gold. Love it, Karl you need the tee-shirt saying “words be hard”
Karls made me realise, there needs to be a subspecies or members of the predator species that disagree or go against the codes of the predator Called THE POACHERS
I love the idea that the predators who hunt are like the rednecks of the predator species. Like other predators are accountants or lawyers and only some of society goes on safari. "Youre going on holiday to earth? Be careful. My wife lost an uncle going on safari to earth. Be careful."
Karl, you are basically the internet's true ride or die friend. My autistic ass was not expecting to feel validated while I sit here on my ass trying to relax during a tough time, but here the fuk you are. Endless appreciation, my friend, we need more of ya.
To continue the riff... Finding that one predator hanging on a beach with a hut full of skulls. Skulls he collected by walking around the forest and just gathering bones
The original AvP movie was very loosely based on the various stories of Michiko Noguchi, who went from corporate 'ice queen' to honorary Yautja to John Wick-like mercenary. I know of novels and comics adapted from those novels of her story. She would make a good 'Wiki Weekends' topic.
Worked on a project preserving and rehabilitating wetlands. The citizens group most supporting and lobbying for this conservation effort was Ducks Unlimited, an organization for duck hunters.
There's a video going around of this kid who's dressed like Predator and his dad asks him who he is the kid throws his hands in the air and says "I am the child predator" and his dad says we gotta change that name lmfao
The bit about the ones who grow old being respected because they've grown old in a society where Many die young reminded me of Cohen the barbarian in the Discworld series. Yes he's a Conan the barbarian reference but he's painted as living to have been very old as an adventurer when most die young
"The Predator takes Rory, assuming his autism as an advancement in human evolution which makes him a worthwhile subject for hybridization, and flies away in his ship" actual line describing the plot in The Predator Wikipedia page
They should check out the recent Predator lore from Predator Hunting Grounds game. Dutch becomes an actual Predator Hunter who made it his mission to hunt predators behind the scenes of the films. Even was enhanced with Predator DNA to hunt them more efficiently after his run in with a badass female Predator nicknamed Cleopatra that left him for dead and has a hated rivalry for it.
Fun fact for fact fiends: the word yautja is commonly pronounced (Yee-out-ja(Ye is pronounced as the start of yeah and ja is pronounced like the Swedish greeting Ja or if your a sports guy/gal the same way Ja Morant says his first name)
Something people forget is that Yautja means to fight, one of their gods represents the fight in both war and in a hunt. They have their older members and an unseen tech caste make all the government and clan decisions and technology. While the Warrior caste(Their military) and the hunter caste go and fight, win wars, and make trophies.
Sustainable animal populations and Landscape Ecology are important to the Predators. Also to the majority of human hunters. The shitheads give them a bad name.
17:16 Not a Xenomorph Queen per se, but a drone or warrior. Some of these may become a Queen later if the hive is without one, but the cranium on display lacks both in size and the huge crest on the back, like a ceratopsid.
I personally wanna see alien vs monster hunter. Imagine aliens crash land on the monster hunter universe, and instead of finding this extremely advanced civilization with lots of machinery and dimly lit places that means they get to creep around until they can catch someone off guard, they find a bunch of morons in big, wacky suits of armor with even bigger, wackier weapons, pogging at the idea of yet another new monster to absolutely wallop and make armor and weapons from
One of the funniest gags on Arrested Development is how Tobias is always phrasing things in the worst possible way. Which leads to him being accidentally busted by To Catch A Predator. He’s wearing a knockoff Thing costume and he walks in the house calling out to his daughter how ‘Daddy needs help getting his rocks off’ 😂 And he’s so clueless that even when they come out with cameras he has no idea he’s in trouble 😂
Dude!!! I really like that interpretation of the fish and the loaves!! I have been in church for over 40 hrs and never thought of it that way. The lesson makes way more sense in those terms and speaks to the things that relate to us today. ❤
I remember the Jesus Vs Hercules discussion! I also remember people were super boring and just said it’d obviously be Hercules, but I think Jesus deserves to be put in a fair position. So, what if he developed the whipping techniques that were later used by the Belmont family to hunt vampires and other creatures?
Always found it strange kratos never fought Artemis now that you mention it. I don't think he's fought the norse god of the hunt either...why aren't the hunter gods getting any attention??
As someone in a wheelchair, yeah, media gets annoying. It's always either: 1.) Character struggles with societal effects of disability the writers really don't understand 2.) Super cool awesome character with disability that's mostly ignored, which feels more like pity than representation
Here in the US, our president Teddy Roosevelt founded the parks system and animal protections. Because he loved hunting and wanted that experience to continue to exist for future generations
Great video! Wow I loved the end. I had never heard that interpretation of the fish and bread before! If you do a video about other interpretations read "Jesus through middle-eastern eyes". Mad respect for what you and the crew do, keep it up❤
Dishonored Yautja, "Bad Blood", are hunted, killed, and then, as the ultimate insult, their skull is crushed to deny them the honor of becoming a trophy.
I have always wanted to learn about the Yautja back home. The ones we see in movies are the rich ones that go on safari and hunting trips. What are the the baristas like? Bartenders, lawyers, retail workers? I wanna see soccer mom Yautja.
I really like that part in the bible. Where they say that for a rich man to reach heaven it's like squeezing a camel trough the eye of a needle. When I tell that to Christians they either get mad or it inspires people to help people without much money you know.
There is a film where people are trapped on say 100 floor levels, and wonderfull food is on a platform that goes up and down, the closer to the top the more food you can eat etc. Its about how that society can sort of be broken if some one rebels against it, cant remember the name
When Prey was announced, there were a ton of asshole men on reddit who kept saying the main character could never beat a Predator without "female woke plot armor" because she was a teenage girl with primitive weapons, and that the Predator can only be beaten by huge manly men with guns. All of them conveniently forgot that all of the beefy huge men with guns were easily killed by the Predator in the first movie and that Dutch killed it with fucking wood and mud. Then after I pointed that out they got mad and one of them even told me "Did you forget the Predator was beaten with a huge log that only a man could lift? Not surprised, fake fan". You know, because in that guy's head the Predator is ONLY weak to huge logs and nothing else is able to harm it. Then the guy got even more mad when I pointed out that the Predator has always been beaten with clever tactics, their own weapons and/or teamwork, which he would have known if he was as much of a "real fan" as he claimed to be. Not to mention that is exactly how that movie ends XD
Every character has Plot Armour in some level In real life, none could beat a Predator in H2H But it's not real life, it's a movie, where you should favour Plot over "realism"
Ducks Unlimited was founded to make sure there is fowl and ducks in the future. Haven't checked them out lately thou. The hunter who hunted an elephant with a bow and arrow has my respect. Honorable hunting was how i was raised. Lucky for the animals I'm a terrible hunter. I step on on every stick.
As someone who hasn’t read all the comics asking those who have, is there a specific Predator that just goes in with nothing but a knife, maybe two, like Kraven the Hunter from Spider-Man?
Not a specific story but predator earn their weapons as they gain experience/successful hunts, only to go to hunts with less and less weaponry as they grow even more experienced.
The eldest clan leaders or something go to planets infested and overrun with at least three hives of xenomorphs with only a knife and arent considered successful until they wipe every single one of them queens. Their advancement goes like this 'you have to earn the right to use your weapons and then prove you dont need them'.
I thought the movie was good, the only bad part was the film's depiction of Raphael Andolini. I remember Karl talking about this character in the comics and I thought it would be cool to see him in a film adaptation. Well atleast he taught Naru how to use his gun.
having actual autism made me both laugh out loud and also HATE the whole autism plot point in that shitty predator sequel. also one of the Yautja's favorite humans to hunt were the Vikings, and apparently they were bummed out when Viking eventually culture died out.
As an Autistic person I just find it funny. My life is messed up enough, I might as well call it superpower in the same vein as people with prosthetics being called "cyborgs".
That arnold war scream moment in predator will never not be completely bad ass. Followed by the immediate acknowledgement by the predator of a challenge being thrown down.
24:50 Always said the same for Genesis. Humans couldn’t live forever because they’re too dumb so they didn’t make it to live forever. We want stuff so we don’t live forever. Sense of self prevents everlasting life & all that jazz. My man Karl.
worry about the old guys: I feel like Sir pTerry Pratchet did it first (in pop culture) with The Silver Horde. They keep wining because they are so good at not dying.
I'm so mad at TH-cam I thought you stopped making videos turns out I was auto unsubscribed and ig it just stopped showing yall in my feed I'm so happy to be back and see our Smallwood is still at it and making wonderful videos
Wearing my Xenomorph "Baby on Board" shirt today since the Doc had to put a camera down my throat. Found this video while wearing said shirt. Perfect way to recover. The Jesus Superpowers video needs to become reality
I think they can use their shooty kill guns if the enemy has the same thing, like how in the first one they camouflaged with mud and shot at it so he camouflaged and shot at them
You also have to do more research on legal trophy hunting. The money goes to the preservation of the animal hunted. And there is a reason why they choose specifically what animal you can kill.
About the "fear de old man on a job where people die young" thing, that's actually a plot point in the invincible comics, where the oldest viltrumites (the kryptonian equivalent of that universe) are also the strongest of that race, because they get stroger every battle they survive, especialy if they come back from the brink of death
Make predator v terminator! Predator comes to earth for a hunt after skynet takes over. He's expecting squishy humans, but instead it's terminators. So much potential!
The only thing I would EVER consider bad ass, is someone that gets hunted by predators so much that they start to see it as nothing more than an inconvenience.
I like to think the reason the predators overkill sometimes is because they are too used to hunting alien level creatures. Where even with all those tools they can still lose.
I just remembered this great tik tok of a kid in a predator costume and his did recording it Kid: I am THE CHILD PREDATOR!! Dad: yeah... we uh... we're gonna need to come up with a better name...
I mean the black warrior reminds me of a quote from game of thrones.. "There is only one God and his name is death . What do we say to death? Not today"
Metroid Prime Hunters had a similar way to discourage camping. It would highlight a player that didn't move out of a map sector and mark them as a Coward.
honestly even as someone who prefers snipers and semi-automatic rifles in games i know from stories from actual snipers how boring it gets staying in 1 position for a long period of time and i don't want that level of realism when i play if i'm sniping from somewhere for a period of time its because i'm 100 meters away and its the only practical answer that maintains my range advantage
Fun thing about that parable, when I was about 12 my friend independently came up with that interpretation of each person taking a small bit or passing some of their food to the next person. Our teacher was very unhappy with that because apparently to her "Jesus had magic powers" was a more important lesson to instil in children than "help other people and don't be greedy"
You'll probably not see this, but I would love to see you nerd out about what would happen if Predators found Klingons. And I wonder if the Predators would up the game with war weapons, or the Klingons would send in squad after squad of foot soldiers.
Considering some of the gods I've seen from the cultures of the real world, and I think most can agree at least the vast majority of them are fictitious, calling the predators' god the most metal in all of fiction seems hyperbolic to me.
Dude get to the point 😂 you sidetrack so much Lmao

If Predators respect those who kill Xenomorphs they must revere Ellen Ripley as a god.
Now that's the crossover I wanna see
Premium trophy more likely.
@@marcofioretti6908 Actually there was a comic book crossover with Alien hybrid Ripley threatening war if they attacked.
I'm just picturing Yautja getting mad hyped watching Aliens whenever Ellen does something cool
A great warrior, in one comic, her clone was brought to fight with them but I don't remember what comic that was.

I have always wanted to learn about the Yautja back home. The ones we see in movies are the rich ones that go on safari and hunting trips. What are the the baristas like? Bartenders, lawyers, retail workers? I wanna see soccer mom Yautja.
Lucas actually got it perfect at 50 seconds
Imagine having ADHD, being unable to execute tasks, and everyone just assumes you're lazy.
“If you’re an old-ass Predator…probably good at running away and lying” -timecode Carl
I still want a terminator vs Robocop movie.
I really like that part in the bible.
Where they say that for a rich man to reach heaven it's like squeezing a camel trough the eye of a needle.
When I tell that to Christians they either get mad or it inspires people to help people without much money you know.
Waking up to Predator lore, (done by fact fiend) fuckin slaps
There is a film where people are trapped on say 100 floor levels, and wonderfull food is on a platform that goes up and down, the closer to the top the more food you can eat etc. Its about how that society can sort of be broken if some one rebels against it, cant remember the name
That's a psychological horror film called The Platform
When Prey was announced, there were a ton of asshole men on reddit who kept saying the main character could never beat a Predator without "female woke plot armor" because she was a teenage girl with primitive weapons, and that the Predator can only be beaten by huge manly men with guns.
All of them conveniently forgot that all of the beefy huge men with guns were easily killed by the Predator in the first movie and that Dutch killed it with fucking wood and mud. Then after I pointed that out they got mad and one of them even told me "Did you forget the Predator was beaten with a huge log that only a man could lift? Not surprised, fake fan". You know, because in that guy's head the Predator is ONLY weak to huge logs and nothing else is able to harm it.
Then the guy got even more mad when I pointed out that the Predator has always been beaten with clever tactics, their own weapons and/or teamwork, which he would have known if he was as much of a "real fan" as he claimed to be. Not to mention that is exactly how that movie ends XD
Every character has Plot Armour in some level
In real life, none could beat a Predator in H2H
But it's not real life, it's a movie, where you should favour Plot over "realism"
Ducks Unlimited was founded to make sure there is fowl and ducks in the future. Haven't checked them out lately thou.
The hunter who hunted an elephant with a bow and arrow has my respect.
Honorable hunting was how i was raised. Lucky for the animals I'm a terrible hunter.
I step on on every stick.
As someone who hasn’t read all the comics asking those who have, is there a specific Predator that just goes in with nothing but a knife, maybe two, like Kraven the Hunter from Spider-Man?
Not a specific story but predator earn their weapons as they gain experience/successful hunts, only to go to hunts with less and less weaponry as they grow even more experienced.
@@dranzyl1295 damn so there isn’t a specific hunter who’s like “Fuck all that long range bullshit, imma just run up on you with this blade.”?
The eldest clan leaders or something go to planets infested and overrun with at least three hives of xenomorphs with only a knife and arent considered successful until they wipe every single one of them queens. Their advancement goes like this 'you have to earn the right to use your weapons and then prove you dont need them'.
@@dranzyl1295 oh ok
Was expecting more discussion about Prey because frankly that was the best Predator movie I've seen in decades
Fk yeah. Take care when you whistle in the dark
I thought the movie was good, the only bad part was the film's depiction of Raphael Andolini. I remember Karl talking about this character in the comics and I thought it would be cool to see him in a film adaptation. Well atleast he taught Naru how to use his gun.
Seriously? That movie was so lame.
@@danelynch7171 you're nuts
@@Greed70 for what it's worth, the man who gave Naru the flintlock pistol WASN'T Adolini.
having actual autism made me both laugh out loud and also HATE the whole autism plot point in that shitty predator sequel.
also one of the Yautja's favorite humans to hunt were the Vikings, and apparently they were bummed out when Viking eventually culture died out.
To be fair, in the first predator.. the marines use camo, guns and tactics so the predator also uses these things
As an Autistic person I just find it funny. My life is messed up enough, I might as well call it superpower in the same vein as people with prosthetics being called "cyborgs".
The cyborg one may not be fiction in a few decades.
@@john-paulsilke893 soft cybernetics.
That arnold war scream moment in predator will never not be completely bad ass. Followed by the immediate acknowledgement by the predator of a challenge being thrown down.
24:50 Always said the same for Genesis. Humans couldn’t live forever because they’re too dumb so they didn’t make it to live forever. We want stuff so we don’t live forever. Sense of self prevents everlasting life & all that jazz. My man Karl.
13:00
I’ll forever just show that one meme of a guy getting shot in game, building a massive building, and then getting headshot-ed immediately after.
I literally choked from laughing and had to run over to the sink to get some water while watching this
Didnt know about that other interpretation for the jesus fish and bread story, makes me feel a little better that it actually has a moral
worry about the old guys: I feel like Sir pTerry Pratchet did it first (in pop culture) with The Silver Horde. They keep wining because they are so good at not dying.
I'm so mad at TH-cam I thought you stopped making videos turns out I was auto unsubscribed and ig it just stopped showing yall in my feed I'm so happy to be back and see our Smallwood is still at it and making wonderful videos
You pissed off EVERYONE!……. With no sense of humor, lol. This was a great episode, keep up the great work, all of you!
@@john-paulsilke893 Thanks! For proving my point…. Lol.
Wearing my Xenomorph "Baby on Board" shirt today since the Doc had to put a camera down my throat.
Found this video while wearing said shirt. Perfect way to recover.
The Jesus Superpowers video needs to become reality
Predator be the shit, thanks for guiding drunk me home with your facts Karl❤
@Fact Fiend from the movie "The Predator" 2018 the Yautja is pronounced Ya-OOT-ja. Known colloquially as the Predators.
i've always heard it pronounced as being like Yeouch-ja
Well that movie said the predator hunted people down for there dna to modify they own dna so that movie is bullshit
Wolf from AVP 2 is one of those old ones, on the way to becoming an Elder. The scarred face is from when he killed an alien Queen.
I think they can use their shooty kill guns if the enemy has the same thing, like how in the first one they camouflaged with mud and shot at it so he camouflaged and shot at them
How did the predators end up being highly technological? Their way of life doesnt seem like a catalyst for scientific innovation.
I’d like to see a predator movie were the predator wins.
You also have to do more research on legal trophy hunting. The money goes to the preservation of the animal hunted. And there is a reason why they choose specifically what animal you can kill.
About the "fear de old man on a job where people die young" thing, that's actually a plot point in the invincible comics, where the oldest viltrumites (the kryptonian equivalent of that universe) are also the strongest of that race, because they get stroger every battle they survive, especialy if they come back from the brink of death
23:45 I love the idea of saying "I take my morals from the Predator"
Make predator v terminator! Predator comes to earth for a hunt after skynet takes over. He's expecting squishy humans, but instead it's terminators. So much potential!
There is a comic called Alien Vs Predator Vs Terminator
The only thing I would EVER consider bad ass, is someone that gets hunted by predators so much that they start to see it as nothing more than an inconvenience.
I like to think the reason the predators overkill sometimes is because they are too used to hunting alien level creatures. Where even with all those tools they can still lose.
I always like the joke the over kill moments are just because the Yautja is young and doesn't quite know their strength yet lol
I just remembered this great tik tok of a kid in a predator costume and his did recording it
Kid: I am THE CHILD PREDATOR!!
Dad: yeah... we uh... we're gonna need to come up with a better name...
I’ve always said that every religion and commandment or whatever can all be reduced to one thing and one thing alone “don’t be a dick”
Holy shit, Karl found a way to get me to subscribe to something...
22:55 - As a Christian, I LOVE this take.
I've always pronounce it (yow-cha)
I went to a church school and how to explain it to me is how Kyle did, and the religion of the black warrior does sound very cool
I mean the black warrior reminds me of a quote from game of thrones..
"There is only one God and his name is death .
What do we say to death?
Not today"
3:25 😂😂😂Sound like a plan to get taken off the grid for a few solid years.
Metroid Prime Hunters had a similar way to discourage camping. It would highlight a player that didn't move out of a map sector and mark them as a Coward.
honestly even as someone who prefers snipers and semi-automatic rifles in games i know from stories from actual snipers how boring it gets staying in 1 position for a long period of time and i don't want that level of realism when i play if i'm sniping from somewhere for a period of time its because i'm 100 meters away and its the only practical answer that maintains my range advantage
Fun thing about that parable, when I was about 12 my friend independently came up with that interpretation of each person taking a small bit or passing some of their food to the next person. Our teacher was very unhappy with that because apparently to her "Jesus had magic powers" was a more important lesson to instil in children than "help other people and don't be greedy"
The predators sound just like the Tong race that were the original Mandolorians. I imagine the writers were inspired by eachother.
You'll probably not see this, but I would love to see you nerd out about what would happen if Predators found Klingons. And I wonder if the Predators would up the game with war weapons, or the Klingons would send in squad after squad of foot soldiers.
Warhammer 40,000:am I a joke to you?
Considering some of the gods I've seen from the cultures of the real world, and I think most can agree at least the vast majority of them are fictitious, calling the predators' god the most metal in all of fiction seems hyperbolic to me.
Billy Waugh- Thee Scariest Old Man!
I’d like to see that video.
Passed in April at 93.
with the insane amount of predator crossovers i wouldn't be surprised if the similarity to mandalorians wasn't coincidental
Given that anyone who can kill an xenomorph has earnt a place in the clan I'd love to know what they think of Ripley.
I'm picturing one trying to romance her after she slaughtered a bunch of xenomorphs. 😆
Fuck yeah a Predator video, i love predators!
Wait...
