Dude get to the point 😂 you sidetrack so much Lmao
No.
Must be new to the channel, long time fans are here *for* the sidetracks.
@@FactFiend Based.
The channel is supposed to be a discussion and he could very easily just copy and paste a wiki article
Sidetracking is what we are here for, this is fact fiend at top form😁
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.
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.
There was a movie in 2018 ?
@@mrspeigel3593 Be glad you ain't part of the Rick Riordan fandom, we got two of those.
@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
@@_Hissatsu I believe he's pretending it doesn't exist as we do the Percy Jackson movies.
@@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
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'm curious as to what happened after you told him. I can only imagine the shitstorm
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.
So AFTER you told him off, he asked you to look at his taxes?
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.
I’m guessing it’s like probaablly a thing where you keep the scar becasue you messed up
Prosthetic, no they can just regrow limbs according to the second movie
@@christiandidonna8808 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.
@@hunterkage2842 that also makes sense. But cybernetics would too
@@GreaterGrievobeast55 oooh that’s pretty cool
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.
Were the predators in that movie bad bloods
The main 3 predators are outcasts and dickhead preds. Theres some bad blood between the OG predators and these "super predators"
@@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 an autistic person i now live in constant fear of being hunted by 9 foot tall stabby aliens
You see a source of fear, I, frankly, see an alternative!
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.
Kek since adhd has many comorbidities with autism, are they also targeted??
Stabby shooty warrior aliens wearing stripper fishnets
I know I’m autistic as well and it sucks 😢
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.
Maybe they are a baby queen 👸.
@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.
Do they have it from birth?@@pr1m4t3-1nt3l
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.
People forget that the predator, a super alien hunter, is still otherwise somewhat normally organic and thus killable.
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
There are those who break/ abandon the honor code. They are known as "Bad Bloods."
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."
Earth is to predators what Australia is to the rest of humanity
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.
Im a simple man I see predator I click
I build my believe system around the predator.
Remember, the company that owns predator also owns Star Wars. Alien vs. Predator vs. Ewok is a possibility.
Based.
*Chris Hanson enters chat*
@Iamthelolrus that need to happen
There’s a place for trophy hunting, too. Most of the time it’s an old bull that no longer breeds but prevents younger males from breeding. Then they’ll sell the tag to the highest bidder. Insane amounts of money go to conservation through this process
But, that still isn’t trophy hunting. That is culling and maintaining the health of the herd. Trophy hunting is when the stated goal of hunting, is to kill a thing, to take a piece of it as a souvenir.
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”
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.
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.
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
Hunters are the number one group that donates to conservation efforts because without wild game there is nothing to hunt.
You know it's gonna be a good day when you get a brand new Fact Fiend video right as you wake up
I take it you’re not English then? :P
Completely agreed.
Word
In Spartan culture, it was common to hear and have in high steem those of older age, due to nature of their profession
and also to honor their every sexual request (cannon)
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.
Can't hunt ducks if there are no ducks to hunt
They should have had at least one badass scene of Barriston Selmay ripping through a host of enemies without getting touched
For what it's worth he is still alive in the books. Having Ser Barriston die to some racist, spoiled rich kids in masks in a back-alley is like straight-up character assassination. And like, actual assassination, I guess.
"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
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)
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
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
Turboman Vs. Predator needs to be a movie
I can see the predator killing sinbad and taking his kids turboman toy as a trophy
Imagine Kraven the Hunter from Spider-man facing a Predator elder
I've thought of who might win that fight for a while and am sad it's not talked about more
Kraven easily. Anyone who can go hand to hand with Spider-Man is automatically stronger than your regular predator.
I came here for a story about a predator and got a thoughtful Bible lesson
Maybe the next god of war game kratos could fight this god.
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??
@@GreaterGrievobeast55they're smart enough to not bother him.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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.
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?
I’ve literally never wanted to watch that franchise, but now I kind of want to.
There's some fun stuff there!
Imagine having ADHD, being unable to execute tasks, and everyone just assumes you're lazy.
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.
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
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.
I still want a terminator vs Robocop movie.
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. ❤
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"
Lucas actually got it perfect at 50 seconds
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.
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
I loved the parable interpretation, smart talk! love this show
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
“If you’re an old-ass Predator…probably good at running away and lying” -timecode Carl
@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
I’d like to see a predator movie were the predator wins.
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
Waking up to Predator lore, (done by fact fiend) fuckin slaps
Damn, i forgot how dope this is, i have to stay up to date with them
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❤
Love fact fiend, tho I think this is the longest it's taken to actually get to the point of discussion, didn't expect that. Good shit tho!
"some predators just bitch out and leave"
To be fair, in the first predator.. the marines use camo, guns and tactics so the predator also uses these things
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
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.
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.
I literally choked from laughing and had to run over to the sink to get some water while watching this
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.
3:25 😂😂😂Sound like a plan to get taken off the grid for a few solid years.
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
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.
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.
Holy shit, Karl found a way to get me to subscribe to something...
I've always pronounce it (yow-cha)
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"
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
22:55 - As a Christian, I LOVE this take.
You know what we need . We need a disgraced yuatja being hunted by other predators
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...
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
Predator be the shit, thanks for guiding drunk me home with your facts 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.
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.
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
The predators sound just like the Tong race that were the original Mandolorians. I imagine the writers were inspired by eachother.
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.
7:03 Karl you have no clue how accurate that is how often we are misunderstood and part of that is due to media
Yep. It sucks so much. It doesn’t help that I fulfil a few of the stereotypes for ‘Autistic person’. I have an almost perfect memory for a staggering variety of topics. But that doesn’t mean I’m a savant in all areas. 🤦🏻
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.
Haven’t watched the channel in many months, glad I came back 😄
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
I think Lucas got it right from the spelling.. "Yow 't' Juh" is how I always imagined it
Warhammer 40,000:am I a joke to you?
Most metal god? Smells like heresy against the great Sigmar. An inquisitor shall be in your home within the day
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.
Fuck yeah a Predator video, i love predators!
Wait...
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. 😆
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
with the insane amount of predator crossovers i wouldn't be surprised if the similarity to mandalorians wasn't coincidental
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.
For a second I thought he was gonna be like alien vs predator vs terminator
"Frodge" I have no idea why but that killed me.
