Not every franchise can have a comeback as consistently strong as what it is The solution you have it now. Starting with the 2022’s Prey, The Sci-Fi series finds itself renewed within that year Predator: Killer of Killers and Predator: Badlands, the last of which hit theaters this past weekend.
Directing all three is Dan Trachtenerg, its 2016 feature film 10 Cloverfield Lane. And each movie gives a long time The solution fans of the things they wanted or did not legally expect the word “Yautja” in these movies or The killer Casting them as aliens against different historical groups – which together are fantastic threads that run through a specific night or a full trilogy and can explain a larger mission statement.
The most important theme explored in Trachtenberg’s Trio is masculinity. The solution It has always been about this to some extent – how can you do it, when it has a handshake and it has big things to take fights and fight when things don’t go to plan? – It doesn’t end An edible deer and The badlands respectively.
Badlands’ Dek Protagonist Dek appeared in Yautja as a child because of his small culture, a situation that insults Yautjan culture his father Njohrr considers his son too weak to live and wants to kill him. Currently, The Prey’s Naru wants to become a hunter alongside his brother Taabe, but he is particularly stressed by other young men in their Comanche tribe, who try to prevent him physically or verbally. She can’t put herself together because she’s a woman, though he It is thought that one of the Comanche women’s jobs is to eat and heal a small act.
An edible deer and The badlands Explore masculinity from different angles: previous things that need to be used in his hunt again He was able to defeat the ferrator’s predera, who had shed tears about the Comanche, the French traders, and the local animals with a certain amount of curiosity. The Yautja has been compared to the game’s most advanced hunters with advanced technology that develops a straight kill streak. But when they confuse, they indeed put together; The Prey’s Feral Predator almost meets its end in going up against a wolf and a bear, and there’s a similar conceit in Dek. Although he declares that he will not fail to kill the beast to rescue him, he is humbled within minutes of crashing into his trap and almost doing it right then and there.
Of these two, Badlands’ Jabs masculinity harper and hit hard because of the wall of being the first animal protagonist of these films. Like Naru, he was placed by the trachtennerg as an underdog, which was probably not an accident, because the director in question probably combined the two. Instead, Dek’s counters are the Weyland-Yutani Synthetic Thia and the Gennan Dubbed Bubbed creature. Dek is proud of his people’s ethos of survival through strength and unity, established early in the film with the opening epigraph. But he also reconsiders when Thiya asks him a simple question that challenges the whole world: “Who will want to survive on its own?” He finally regains the favor of Thia and Brother Kwei, who died protecting Dek from his father, in the middle of the film by using Genana’s wild animals to save him.
People are nothing outside of society, as emphasized within Killer of Killers and The badlands. The animated film’s Level-Viking Ursa, Airman John Torres, and voiced by Shinbi Kenji – all fight against their experienced attackers. None of them have the honor of surviving, but they gave the warriors who were shot otherwise than they would have if they were working alone, and when they were forced to fight alone, and when they were forced to fight to escape. The language barrier was abandoned, the three looked back at each other, and almost all took off, with Kenji and Torres flying because the URSA stayed behind. He ends the animated film dry again, but The killers It establishes that the Yautja took whoever killed the terrorist, including NARU, but also Dutch and Harrigan (the same lead of the first two The solution Movies), so he’s not completely.
“It’s good to have friends, so stop being a jerk” is an interesting pivot point The solution They are films that should be made, and they mean that all three films are close to the promise of society. Those endings may lessen the inhibitions of the characters – Khenji and Tares look well and truly tearing up against the legion of Yauutja ships, Ditto Dek squaring off against his mother – but the underlying message trachtennerg establishes here gives The solution Some cool new tools to play with as he continues to do his thing with brilliance.
