For those who haven’t seen this me included let’s strap in & get to the kills!
Are going to cover Jurassic world Dominion too?
I agree with the Golden Chainsaw kill
i want James to take on the challenge of counting all the dead bodies in all quiet in the western front . it gonna be a big vid .
.
so much fun! thanks for having me
Thanks for joining me dude!
That was an M. BISON reference with the whole it was a Tuesday thing, yeah ?
Dane,you do an amazing role,all the respect în the world for that!
have you ever had to explain to someone who doesnt know the movie why you just told them you were the “predator”?
you're awesome for coming on and doing it! loved you in action as the Predator!
I love that they incorporated native actors, staff, and assistants. Really showed how dedicated they are to this story and inclusion.
It showed that this movie wasn't just using the franchise to make money, it was an authentic piece of cinematic art that they wanted to display with blood, sweat and tears.
Not only that, but on an artistic level it added a realism and heart to the movie that I feel really separates it from the other Predator sequels and a lot of action movies in general.
@@Eggy79 yeah like that part where extremely sophisticated alien get tricked into shooting it's ownself and doesn't understand its own technology and can punch a bear out but a small woman can pull it over and take full power strikes with its shield that breaks rock But yeah ut was pretty damn good
@John Marston Yea gotta love when 10+ fully grown armed men can't stop a predator, but a small girl can! Gotta love the logic these movies carry! They don't even try to make it realistic anymore💀
@@MikeOxLong010 Because those grown men were idiots and the girl was smart. Guess you missed the part where brains beats the Predator, not just pure strength.
Fun fact: The Feral Predator (to my knowledge) actually broke one of the yautja's honor codes. It was established in the source material that if they come across a worthy opponent, they must de-cloak and face them head-on. Since the Feral Predator actually re-cloaked after the brother displayed being worthy and killed him while cloaked, he would be considered a bad blood and would be banished or killed. Side note: Take this with a grain of salt
I don't think it's one of the more punishable rules of the Code, such as killing an unarmed individual would be. Pretty sure the Jungle Hunter did something similar multiple times
It's good to see other people knowing more about the Yautja lore.
Also fun fact! That dog wouldn't be able to stagger a 8ft 300lb yautja.
I don’t know if he follows the same rules as those like the Jungle Hunter, as he is a more primitive Yautja from an entirely different biome of Yautja Prime, and likely a different tribe or society as a result
@@prehistorichero2755 aight bruh relax
It would be sick if they kept making movies in this style. There's so many they could. Samurai, Viking, Roman/Greek, Masai, Aztec. Honestly any historic civilization that had warriors could be really cool.
In Predator Hunting Grounds there a Predator variants of the Vikings, Samurai, Egyptian, and some others if that's what your referring too
being from South Africa, heavy bias :P but i would love a "Dark Continent" style Predator movie with, like you mentioned , maybe a Maasai tribe, if we are heading to the more arid areas, or the heavy cultural influences of north africa. unrelated to that, but i do think, we need at least one movie where the predator wins? like, damn Pred, maybe dont come to earth. Or i guess maybe thats why they keep on coming back :P Homosapien be badass.
At some point, the Yautja would be like, "Man, fuck that planet. The walking creatures there are difficult and stubborn."
Greek and Roman civilisations have no warriors in their history, sorry
There's an amazing Predator short story called Skled's Keep. That's the perfect example of a Yautja Clan fighting a bunch of Vikings.
I thought it was crazy when you got people like Ray Chase, Nathan Baesel, and the cast of Host in your kill counts. Hell, you even got the predator himself (Dane Dilliegro) in this one too. But it's absolutely mindblowing that you also got freakin' Santa Claus to show up during the sponsored segment. Seriously, HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS JAMES?????
I mean, what do you think Santa does for the other 364 days of the year? He's watching Dead Meat.
Zoran Claus... that's how!
Dude how old are you? C'mon.... The predator isn't real, duh. Though it was sweet Santa took time out of his hectic schedule to do this, that guy is a saint.
Which episode did Ray Chase show up?
@@PowerJusho the last episode (malignant)
Dane picking you up to carry you to the numbers was such a fun moment, wonderful to see people being so wholesome.
I need someone to dub Whitney Houston over that moment, where's that Dead Meat Shorts channel? Hook us up!
A channel for wholesome moments and gruesome kills.
I loved how tight the script was and how everything was set up to help Naru defeat the Predator! The orange flower, the bog, the bear-trap which led to the fur-trappers, the pistol - it was all so efficiently written. I also love how, at the end, Naru gives the Predator's mask and the settler's gun equal status in proving her worth as a warrior - to her, both were predatory forces in the land that she had to destroy.
It also helps that Naru isn’t some perfect little badass who gets everything right first try. She learns from her mistakes and improves over the course of the film, which helps makes her victory over the Predator all the more satisfying & earned
@NoahDaArk Yeah, it's crazy to me seeing people claim she's a "Mary sue". It feels like words don't mean anything to some people.
@@bajscastit’s cause people don’t know what words mean Lmaoo people should have to take a quiz on terms that people just keep getting wrong
@bajscast after seeing this how can she? It's not like Rey from Star Wars where that particular character starts using a Saber and the force days after escaping from "Not Tatooine" I don't hate the actors for any bad writing. It's all the writers and directors who screw it up ugh.
@@bajscastfrrrr it just feels like some people call any badass female character (esp a female main character) a Mary Sue.
Such a sick Kill count!!!!! I had the pleasure of playing the flintlock-pistol toting Raphael in the movie. I've only ever watched the movie once because it was so stressful to watch my performance here, haha 😄. This breakdown let me enjoy the whole thing again in a different way! I get so emotional when Naru does that final victory scream 😭 Thanks so much for making this! It was a pleasure to watch and enjoy!!!
Thank you for giving life to such an important figure in the franchise! I'm a massive Predator fan, so when I saw Raphael, I nearly screamed in a geek out moment.
@@TheGrimoiresVoice Dude thanks! Thats so rad. it was an honor!!!!
@@bentayman My pleasure! Prey was the best follow up since Predator 2, because you and the cast really nailed it. Plus, one of my dreams is to star in the franchise, so seeing people who have beginnings in all kinds of areas really inspires me. Hopefully, I'll be able to be in one once I graduate college.
@@TheGrimoiresVoice I hope all your dreams come true good sir! Best of luck!!
@@bentayman Much appreciated!
I was one of the mechanics who worked on the animatronic heads and I'm glad you got the number of servos correct. I know that is a weird thing to be happy about but it was a crazy amount of servos to get all the movement that was wanted. All of the mechanics were really happy with how much the mandibles were able to move and twitch. Trying to fit all those servos into the head was a challenge in itself and I have to give it up to Dane for putting in the time while he was quarantined in Canada before shooting started to train for being able to carry the weight of the head.
Awesome work, Mike!
u did amazing!!
that was incredilble! Well done, you accomplished something great!
same
@@dinogt8477 sut up.
The crew member shouting "NO, COME HERE" at Coco the dog is so relatable 🤣
So goddamm true.
i got you to 420 likes cuz im high
@@Cassienovi hopefully its legal where your at
I wonder if them screaming "NO! COME HERE!" was in reference to Dutch in the climax when the predator decides not to take the bait even tho Dutch is playing his famous DOUBLE bluff, knowing the predator will choose to go the other way, the way Dutch needs him to go
This movie is a perfect example of a strong female character done well. She is compassionate, has real emotions, and wins using her wit and cunning. All these movies that portray a “strong” woman as a stoic brute are missing the point
I couldn't agree more.
Outside of disney most studios know how to write complex female characters.
Exactly! There are so many ways to portray strength besides conventional masculinity.
For me, it's Naru's war cry at the end that gives me goosebumps. An affirmation of her skill and victory as a true warrior.
This was the last film my grandad saw before he died and it was the most lively we had ever seen him, he absolutely loved it. So glad your covering this
That's a send off of the ages but truly my deepest sympathies for you and your family
Your grandpa saw a great movie. What a way to go out with Bang, with a perfect movie.
Baffling he enjoyed this dogshit film but at least he was happy
@@megalon73 dude dont lie the movie was rancid filth secreting from 100 rectums
@@zzodysseuszz What are you talking about?
I’m not a member of the Comanche tribe, but all native across Turtle Island were cheering and hollering the whole time watching this movie. It feels so good getting media attention in a more positive human spotlight cause traditionally we are just cannon fodder or like zombies to just kill cause we are in the way. This movie was so fun to watch. Thanks for covering it. (Also little side note they dubbed the whole movie in the Comanche language which is so cool!)
Ha ha ha ha
@@StonedNinjaLUFC Ha ha ha
Bro every race has their turn to be cannon fodder, it doesn't make a race any less important. Every zombie or disaster movie ever has made humans cannon fodder... now there may be historical movies that see natives being killed but thats sadly a part of history, im glad natives got a positive movie but they are not always painted in a bad light. People look to be offended these days, we can do better than that
Haha…they did it to score SJW points.
You should watch more Yellowstone the tv series then. The Native Americans in that show are shown to not only be strong, protect their people/reservation, but they're honorable, smart, and deadly efficient. There's plenty of movies and tv shows which portray Native Americans in a positive light or at the very least as a capable and dangerous enemy (which is a compliment). Just do a little digging to find them.
One thing I love about this movie is that in the scene with the bear, you see her notice that she’s downwind which makes her draw her bow in the first place. Amazing attention to detail.
That’s one of the few scenes that I didn’t like, we’ve always seen Yautja fight with honor and “grace” so seeing it brawl the bear to death seems out of character, but like James said, it’s this Yautja’s first time on earth, so it could be inexperience and young pride that made it do that
@@michaeldantonio9009 If it makes you feel any better about it, this is actually in-character for the Yautja. At least from what we know, it is considered the most "honorable" thing to do when you fight your opponent on THEIR terms. So like in this case, even though its primitive times, let's pretend. This Yautja followed that by not using its extremely advanced technology and used primitive tools for the most part. Obviously it's still advanced but he didn't use anything like firearms and such, because the truly worthy gain there did not have that. So that Yautja fighting the Bear in brute combat is actually kind of spot on.
The fact that this movie has gotten a Comanche dub is incredible. I love international dubs, but this amazes me that this is the first film to be dubbed in a Native American language.
I wouldn't say first native American dub I believe they have dubbed quite a few films in Navajo (Diné Bizaad) before this... I know finding Nemo and the original Star Wars have been dubbed in Navajo
@@superextempman Interesting.
It’s the first film dubbed in Comanche
@@YaBoiDREX And so far only one
Being of Native Descent myself and having loved the Predator franchise since I was young, this movie was a big thing for me. I got to see Native representation in a fight against a creature I idolized since I was a kid. I loved this movie.
I'd hope you'd feel more represented by acts of kindness, bravery and heroism. Rather something as frivolous as skin colour or ethnicity. But since you went there, did you forget that Billy in the original '87 movie was Native American?
@@tagus100 why are you so offended by someone else's enjoyment?
@@aliceinanderland I'm not offended, I'm disagreeing with them. Completely normal thing.
@@tagus100 They never said anything about the older movies not having Billy, they just mentioned how this movie was centered around native people and how that's a great feeling. Also where did you get the idea they only appreciate the fact they are from similar "ethnicity and skin colour" instead of how brave and heroic the characters were? They said the movie made them feel happy, not that they only liked the action scenes.
@@Voc_spooksauce Because that's what OP is talking about. I can't respond to something they haven't said.
As a Native American from the northern most states, it's really great to see other Native talents doing well in the film industry and beyond. Well done crew!
Amen 🙌🏼
Too bad yet were stereotypical natives who didn’t follow the real traditions of the natives
If you haven’t watched it yet I would def put Reservation Dogs on your to watch list. Such a great show.
Too bad they change the culture for the purposes of just making a "strong wahman" character. Granted it's Predator so some imagination can be played with, but if the point is to show the commanche's culture, they screwed up
@@Dr.Frankensteen Point on the doll where the "wahman" didnt touch you
I love how Dane counts his kills in the first person.
Prey is almost certainly going to be the high watermark for the Predator franchise. Everything about it works. It's all killer, no filler. You can tell everyone really showed up and understood their assignment, and executed magnificently. When a movie can literally recycle lines from the first one and I don't get pulled out because it's clear they're making the lines their own? That's the sign of some great fucking filmmaking. Highest commendations to everyone on that team and a hope that they all get the chance to make more projects if they have more stories to tell.
Dude, you managed to bring the actor that played the Predator to be on this video, that's an amazing achievement of yours. Kudos to you man.
I feel like it's more of an achievement for the actor who played the Predator to make it onto the Kill Count :P
Achievement Unlocked: Have Freaking Predator on Your Show
That was a huge surprise on this show! But, I love that he got to explain the kill count during the French Voyager’s massacre.
Some things to note that I was shocked were not mentioned: -The scene with the buffalo is actually extremely important as in native tradition it is extremely insulting to kill an animal and not use as much of it is as possible. The animal essentially gave its life for yours and it is horrid to just waste it away -Really feel that Amber’s monologue to the French man before she attacks the predator should have been highlighted. It was so well done.
James did mention it. He said it was "based on the real life near-extinction of the bison".
@@UnboxingAlyss and also this is more focused on the kills. Cinemawins does the other stuff. 😄
@@positiivi_teme Correct. More in-depth analysis would also be done in the Dead Meat Podcasts.
@@UnboxingAlyss He mentioned that, he did not mention the importance of using everything possible on an animal that was killed by you. Difference.
If only the rest of the film was as well made.
I love the primal setting in this one. No rifles, shotguns, or grenade launchers. Just arrows, blades and the occasional black powder flint lock.
My theory is that the plasma caster exists at this time, and Feral was either a Youngblood who hasn’t earned the caster yet, or he was an aspiring Elite who wanted a fair fight after hearing stories of how primitive humanity was at this time, and it was possibly the reason why he didn’t bring it out, favoring the speargun instead.
The scene where Taabe demolishes the predator was so badass. When he lets out his war-cry, it gives me chills every time.
You easily pleased morons are why terrible films won’t die. I swear, you people have to be joking. This has to be a satirical comment.
I love how Dane is so tall, even though he is in the back corner, he has to go into a straddle stance to get low enough to be in the frame.
I got to take pictures with him, and I'm 5'3 lol. He had to crouch down to get in frame
@Tod Waggner "so many problems."
The actor who played tabbe,having this be his first role,was amazing
Can we talk about how the predator SHOTGUNNED THE GODDAMN BEAR? (Shotgunned as like drinking from a can)
You really brought out the cultural significance of this movie. It’s really awesome to see a movie that does justice to the original while still retaining an entirely unique identity like Prey does
Fun little attention in the movie the French persons actually speak old French which resembles Canadian french, as a french Canadian myself I appreciated that they didn’t just use french people from France and took the time to get the accent right
I wqs gonna say they sounded like Canadians . Didn't know that I how old French was.
Keep finding new things to love about this film, thank you!
@@VivaLaDnDLogs i always love movies that take that extra step to pay attention to the smallest of details even ones the audience wont get the first time around
I mean it was shot in Canada anyway. It was probably just easier to get actors from Québec.
When I watched this with my family, my brother got so frustrated with my mom and I translating the unsubtitled French because “we’re not SUPPOSED to KNOWWWwwWww” and I was like “but they’re talking abt his blood 😃”
This was one of the coolest fights I’ve ever seen. She had every odd against her and got out by sheer wit alone.
Wait, this was Dakoda Beaver's first role? Dude killed it! I would have thought he was an experienced actor!
I think we should definitely get more horror movies showing powerful immortal horror villains against people in ancient times! I’d love to see a kill count of Hulu's Hellraiser next!
i think first he's gonna finish the remaining Hellraiser movies 5-10, then the Hellraiser reboot, hopefully
@@davidroarty7192 He might just skip the remaining sequels, since they're mostly really bad cheap schlock fests, that were only created to retain the IP.
I don't think the 18th century counts as "ancient times", but yeah.
Hellraiser set in the Middle Ages would be cold blooded!!!
I wouldn't count 9 and 10, I would skip them because both of them suck thanks to the Weinstein brothers that didn't give them enough time for development.
Not gonna lie, when Taabe delivered the “if it bleeds, we can kill it” line I got mad goosebumps. This movie was such a breathe of fresh air. How any fan of horror can hate on this after the trash that was Predator 2018 is nuts to me
This!! There's been plenty of horrible remakes the past fifteen or so years, Prey is genuinely a fantastic movie. How anyone could dislike it is lost on me
At least he did a line that does it get mention much. Because they always, Always mention “Get to The Choppa!” Joke. That’s why, Prey. Is such a great movie. “Be yourself”
Yea fr I was very surprised seeing this actually turn out being a good movie, I always though Predator 2018 was meh but still not nearly as bad as the more recent movie remakes, and now I'm realizing how much potential that movie wasted.
My only problem with the predator is that it is a bit stupid
@@rogaldorn2312 lol
I don't know why, but Naru's war cry always brings tears to my eyes. It's a mix of exhilaration and victory. Taabe's death made me sob the first time I saw the movie.
To be fair, the movie actually ends with some animation in the credits depicting a number of Predator ships descending on the village. It's unclear whether they decided to take a page from AVP's lore and teach Naru's tribe, or whether they simply wiped out the tribe.
My guess is they teach Naru's tribe after all Naru killed the Predator that was on Earth in open combat using nothing but her wits in combo with her training and what she learned about this Predator and as seen in Predator 2 the Predators hold high in regard to the members of other races that can best one of their own in open combat.
“Naru was played by Amber midthunder, but there ain’t nothin mid about her.” Was clean asf
The writing on these vids is so under appreciated. The “stops red beard from turning this into a John Wick movie” folded me.
"stops speaking Comanche and starts speaking Dutch." AMAZING line
The ending ist the Thing i have a big grudge with. Obviously, the Predator does Not know His own weapon. Why use the gun when He does not have His mask with him? Ford all he knows, the Helmer could lay around in the woods and he would shoot into the Sky or whatnot, I really found that very odd. Other than that, good one.
@@peterpohn2662 Pretty sure he used it because he was stuck in the mud, and it was his only option to try and kill Naru.
The production value that James & the Dead Meat crew bring to kill counts now is very much appreciated. Also guys how badass is Prey?! James looks like he is enjoying himself here & I am glad Him & Chels took some time away last year because this ish? Is EFFING cool.
I love the consistency with these moves for example the idea of the predator not wanting to kill someone who isn't even a threat
Honestly I quite like the concept of the Predator appearing in different periods in time, would be nice to see some more movies based in like WWI or like during the medieval era etc, even Japan. Sounds childish but Predator vs Samurai would be kinda cool, like the Predator vs the Yakuza member in the fields.
As someone who has grown up in Calgary and getting to see the amazing things filmed here I’m glad James covered the one that was filmed on our indigenous reserves ❤
me too! I know lots of things (Fargo, Brokeback, Revenant) are filmed here and in Kananaskis but this one was so beautiful, and it looked so epic
A Samurai version would be dope as well as a Viking version. Vikings being known as brutes would be an interesting head to head with a Predator
if they do a Samurai-based sequel to this movie, they fuckin' better have legendary Japanese actor, Hiroyuki Sanada, as the main protagonist (since he's not only a good actor and loved his performance as Scorpion in the 2021 "Mortal Kombat" movie, but dude is a legitimate badass as well)
the though of a predator killing someone with thors hammer akews me giggle in a good way
The minute I saw this Kill Count pop up on my recommended, I knew one thing for sure: James and I shared the exact same opinion about this movie. This was truly an amazing Predator movie and a hilarious kill count to cover it. Shout out to James specifically because this past week I watched your Kill Counts for Scream 5, The Black Phone, and Prey (obviously.) You have made me love horror movies again, thank you so much for that James.
The predator breaking the bears neck was one of the coolest and most badass thing I've seen in a movie/TV series
As someone who's a member of the Pit River and Huastec tribes, seeing Native Americans make such a powerful breakthrough in cinema history was so awesome to me.
Awesome! I'm ojibway from Canada and it was so damn cool to see this movie. A breath of fresh air.
I’m a Mississippi Choctaw and I was so excited to hear that this movie was coming out. I couldn’t stop watching it. It’s makes me so happy to see natives doing amazing work🫶🏾
Same!! I'm Squamish and my mom was from the Stó:lō reserve, its so refreshing seeing the lengths they went for this film to make it as authentic as possible
That was only good part about this movie. Too bad they killed it with feminist crap.
@@blood.of.fenrir5575 can you explain?
Honestly, Prey was such a pleasant surprise. After the horror show (and not in the spooky way) that was Predator 2018, Prey was a breath of fresh air.
It's only an opinion that The Predator was a terrible movie but I happen to completely agree with it. I thought that one killed the franchise.
@@ashleybrooke2087 then Prey brought the franchise back to life
@@dreademperor2094 Even without one of the tribe members having that high-larious depiction of Tourette's Syndrome?

@@megalon73 yeah
Having the Feral Pred himself go through his epic killstreak is mind-blowing.
I loved that you clarified about the AvP issue. As a AvP fan, it was a major turn off to hear when they originally said that this was the first predator appearance on Earth but if he misspoke and meant this predator specifically then that is awesome.
What I love about this film is that it shows the gravity of the predator’s movement. Each move it does it feels so heavy and so grounded.
Jesse Ventura praised the new Predator actor, saying he fully did Kevin Peter Hall proud.

I love how James's show has given him so many connections within the film industry! This is awesome!
Coolest kill in my opinion was when the predator picked up a bear trap and threw it at a guys head crushing him. That whole forest scene was badass
Yeah that's the one I remember most too. So simple, but it just works.
@@chavesa5 I feel the same way. It’s so simple but it just works
Definitely agree. It was concise, but it plainly succeeded.

Love your videos! Not just the kill counts but the behind the scenes stuff! Keep up the good work!
So, dope that Dane was on. It was so sweet how excited HE was to be with James, when he's literally the Predator. Love that. Edit: Dane carrying James was the cutest thing I've seen this week!
Being able to watch the Comanche dub was easily the highlight of this film for me. The amount of depth it added to the story being shown was astounding. I really wish more film makers would explore non-english scripts to help provide more natural context.
100% agreed
Is nobody gonna mention the idea of Predator but with samurai? Would be rad as hell.
That goes without saying
The fact that he has sooo much backround knowledge makes the channel 10x better. Thank you for making these and helping me quench my thirst for DEAD MEAT!!!
Always nice to see my faith in Dan Trachtenberg rewarded. It’s nice to actually have Predator be GOOD again. Also I will never not be jealous of James for the awesome guests he manages to snag.
Hell yeah, i think this is the best Predator sequel they managed to give us, really wanting me to root for a WW set Predator movie in the future
Honestly, besides The Predator and AVP 2, Predator has never been bad.
@@weirdguy1495 What? I thought Requiem was awesome
@@microwavedpepsi It'd probably be a nicer viewing experience if you could see what was happening on screen, that film is so dark

I'm a historian and while I mainly study West Europe I love when films can be historical and cultural accurate while also just being a dang good movie and man did Prey get it! I love the little gag of the French traders desperately trying to load their muskets with a pants sh!tting experience as I've joked about it with friends
Honestly tho i can't imagine how scary it must have been to have to reload a complicated-to-use weapon like their muskets while you see a person/bear/wolf/etc coming straight for you.
I can imagine them looking at eachother while loading the guns like “Damn we fucked.”
@@Voc_spooksauce That's why you use the buddy system. One fires and reloads, while the other keeps theirs loaded in case of attack.

God this show has become so big and popular that James and the crew are able to watch and hang with so many awesome people that it’s insane! Definitely well deserved after all these years!
This movie was amazing. Saw it many times and was the whole reason I got Hulu. The Comanche dub was beautiful and them not putting subtitles for when the French hunters where talking was genius because you can feel how confused she must have felt.

I've seen people act like it's unrealistic that Naru outsmarted Feral in the final fight since Predators are supposed to be super smart, but like... she shot him in the head first??? Bro was brain damaged, of course he got outsmarted????
I watched this movie with my family the day it came out. It was amazing for something wasn’t in theaters. It absolutely blew us away with how good it was and how many nods there where to the other movies.
James is so successful now that more and more he gets people who are in the movie or apart of making the movies he covers to come onto the kill count!
I absolutely LOVED Prey! Such a bummer it didn't get a theatrical release - I would've loved to see it on the big screen
I unfortunately never got around to watching this, but I did see the trailers for it and I thought it looked really interesting. now I'm even more invested hearing the behind the scenes process and seeing how the story unfolds. I hope to finally get around to watching it if I can, it looks absolutely awesome!
You guys are definitely best buds it’s so cool i love the collab type videos
People complain that this movie is woke and it makes no sense to me. This movie is incredibly good and they show why the main character succeeds. She’s not a Mary sue character at all, they actually show us how and why she is able to survive against the predator. She outsmarted him just like Dutch and many others did, if people look into the lore of the predators this is actually not shocking because the predators are so arrogant they simply don’t think they can lose.
I will complain it is woke because while it is fiction it tries to ground itself in history and realism and that gets thrown out the window with naru. She wouldn't have been taught to track or hunt anything larger than a rabbit and making her a war chief disrespects the actual history of the Comanche. There is not a single text that says there was ever a female native American war chief. I think it is a good film overall but it is definetly woke or atleast has today's touch on it. Thanks for reading this, I know it was a long reply❤

@@ethancorsmeier1110 Although I don’t support any Woke movie, I think they did a great job with the plot. Also, it’s a new fiction character. It’s not like there was a white character and they made it black in purpose.
@@lujedeja578 very true and I thought she was a grounded character other than the fact she was able to beat up a bunch of colonial Frenchmen. Anyways I think woke might have been a bit of an over zealous term. My main complaint with the film is a lack of historical accuracy on the part of her role in the society but otherwise everything was great. And I do get that they were trying to make a underdog and it was a pretty good story. So thank you for your reply and I agree, this was a good movie and I enjoyed it but I'm not a fan of just ignoring the historical documents we have about native American society❤️
I hate how so many weirdos wouldn't give this film a fair unbiased view because "poc female protag" and straight up complained about her being able to do what a group of burly soldiers couldn't while ignoring she actively grows her skills across the film and doesn't kill the Predator the first time they ever encounter eachother. This is genuinely an amazing film and opens the possibility of us going into other eras of time in future installments like vikings or feudal Japan
It's pathetic that they've been brainwashed by rightwing media.
@RETRO the predator was able to punch Arnie multiple times and he survived. Thats just as plausible as amber taking those hits as the predator would be able to punch the head off of any human no matter their size. And she goes from a wannabe hunter to a hunter. Its the most simple piece of character development yet throughout hundreds of films how do you not see it here
@@user-hy5co9dq4m You're literally one of the weirdos being mentioned but go off.
@@user-hy5co9dq4m First off, checking my channel for insultable material, cringe. Second off, no idea what gacha video or playlist you're on about, nor any idea what relevance it has to any point. Third off, not trying to win an argument, simply telling you that you're one of the weirdos you're claiming doesn't exist.
@@user-hy5co9dq4m Please for the love of god, make some fucking sense. Where does South Africa and racism come into this? Just cause you don't like the fact a woman beat the predator by observing and learning don't mean we gotta go to Africa, friend. Was that supposed to be some killer one liner? 'You don't agree with my movie opinions! Go to South Africa and witness crimes and racism! Because it's relevant! Somehow!' Get a better stinger, please.
Dude Dane being there was so cool! Seems like such a down-to-earth guy doing awesome acting. Thank you you two. Great video and can't wait for the next Predator Movie!
You counted Raphael Adolin twice, he was the one that shot in the background at 16:38 and he didn’t die till later
I'm not going to lie, when she made it back to camp with the Predator's head to warn her people, I was tearing up. When she was declared the new Warrior chef, I sobbed. She not only deserved it, she earned it.
The Predator blood war paint is SO fucking badass too. Anyone rolls up on me with that blood and a Pred head is immediately someone I'm respecting.
Hell yeah, she did! Naru, and Amber Midthunder herself, is one card-carrying badass.
She went off and antagonised a Predator who otherwise wouldn't have bothered with her tribe, which got five tribesmen and her brother slaughtered - idk man, the war chief thing felt kinda undeserved. That's just my opinion tho
@@ieatbugs8948 I never saw the movies other than Predator. So I am going on a limb here. But the Aliens seem to have a thing with dominance. Given how the tribe worked with hunting, If that predator witnessed them hunting a wolf or bear- he would challenge them. Without her insistence on checking for danger, we would have more bodies. Those tribe boys were bound to get in trouble with him even without her. Think back to how he killed the snake at the beginning after observing and moved his way up the ladder. If he tried on one of the members of the tribe, they would be dead and there will be those who will want to avenge. We would have a much higher kill count if he made it to the village.
@@luviiwaltz8566 You've got a point, that's actually a rather well thought out response, thank you! I still think it takes a lot away from the fear of the Predator, it just feels silly and non-scary. Showing the Predy so early removes all the tension and dread, you know? We as the audience are meant to fear this thing, but end up just waiting for it to perish somehow
16:19 I love how he talks about it like it was him because he did
The Predator having a fanboy moment over James was not something I knew I needed, love it!
Best part of the movie was the part where the Predator is destroying the fur trappers. The sound effects, brutality, and the soundtrack all combine to make an awesome scene. Super cool that the actor of the Predator himself popped into the video.
How could you not mention the closing credits? They brought even more suspense to the movie with a few moments’ worth of animation!
Yes!! Exactly
Why do people feel the need to tell content creators what they should include in their video... here's an idea, you make a video with all the stuff you think should have been in it.
@@Megaproductions302 disagreeing with someone doesn't make me a dick
@@mattb6646 Agreed! We can disagree without being children. Now; I figured James would mention the closing credits because he usually doles out tons of info and this would be an item of interest.
The other thing that was missing that I would say was not drawing attention to a major Predator thing that I loved was that he would only use weapons that he saw equal to the tech of his enemy. I saw say because we all know preds are basically big game hunters pretending like they aren't cheating and who the fuck that he fights does invis? But he uses his blades on the snake, wolf and bear, upgrades to his ranged weaponry against the comanche who are using arrows, and then uses nets and explosives on the french who use gunpowder tech. Also, not necessary but was my favorite part, that bear at first bodied the predator and almost won. He won the first round, at least.
I’m so glad you are able to get special guests in and talk to them!! It’s so fun and entertaining!
Its been a while since i watched yours videos James Glad I'm back to it Please continue your marvelous videos of killcounts
One of the things that I liked in the movie, besides the feral Predator and his kills, was how they incorporated the belief that whistling at night attracts bad luck or evil, the Feral Predator being that evil.
The Dead Meat crew definitely has the best sponsor segments
I literally gleed like a teenaged school girl when Dane came onto set to talk about his Predator massacre. F'ing outstanding!
Good lord you have absolutely sold me on this film I had not heard about it until now, and good god I am missing out. Stopping the video right now to go watch this myself thank you very much James!
I really love this kill count. I play it in the background or watch it to calm down before a big exam or I have to do something hard as it reminds me I may feel small but I can do great things. Also it is only 25 min compared to the entire movie
I love seeing more of Zoran. It makes me happy seeing the team members being included. So much goes into these shows and it’s nice to see the behind the screen faces on screen.
i think you're mistaken, that wasn't Zoran, that was Santa.
i feel like i'm just gonna be repeating myself from the podcast episode on this movie, but Naru's declaration and war cry at the end of her fight brings me to tears every time; this movie is SO! IMPORTANT! for native representation! i'm native from a californian tribe but this is what i've been wanting to see for us in film for so long. having almost a full native cast and crew alone is fantastic, and honestly this should be the standard. just what a powerful performance!!
"It takes a village to raise a yautja" So true, so many talented artists and techs are involved 👌
I haven’t been on the channel in a long time and I’m glad I came back to watch some amazing videos❤
Dane seems like a sweetheart! Love that he sees James as an idol like we all do 😁
I got to meet him, he's a total sweetheart
@@mimzy7455 I don't doubt it. His excitement is palpable, and his enthusiasm and genuine love for the craft is damn near contagious. Hope we get to see more of this guy in the near future, because he FUCKING KILLED IT as the Feral Predator!
I hope the success of this film means we'll get a Predator vs. Pirates movie at some point. The comics had so much potential.
I can definitely see Disney making a deadliest warriors or assassin creed like predator anthology series set in historical eras. Pirates, Samurai, Romans, etc. While yes it been explore in comics, this would definitely let more people into the franchise if filmmakers do it right
Fun Fact: I've read on KZhead comments that Raphael Adolini was originally going to be the main protagonist of "Predator 3" (before that movie became "Predators"). He was originally a pirate captain from 1718 who was betrayed by his crew. The traitorous crew was slain by the captain with the help of the Predator, but Adolini died and gave the latter his pistol, with his last words being, "Take it..."; that same Predator would later give the pistol to Harrigan at the end of "Predator 2". "Predator 3" was also supposed to be the first in a series of prequel films which would've depicted Predators fighting more historical/international warriors like samurai, Spartans, Egyptian Medjay, army soldiers, Vikings, etc.; however, "Predator 2" was a box-office flop, and the said prequels were cancelled, although the would-be plot to "Predator 3" would later be adapted to "Predator: 1718", a Dark Horse Comic series.
As a long time fan of deadmeat and being indigenous I respect this man greatly and appreciate the time and effort he put into this
19:55 sad predator
James got the predator himself in dude this was phenomenal man 15:46 this was just amazing
dead meat has to be my favorite yter im always just so entertained by watching people drop dead and go on a kill count!
