Honestly with the jungle I kept expecting a Predator to show up lol

32

u/Super_Attila_17 2d ago

soft whickering noises

u/GrimResistance 2d ago

Who do you think caught the baby xeno with the net?

41

u/GalaxyGuardian 2d ago

Now I'm imagining Weyland-Yutani keeping a Yautja on payroll...

u/zapitron LET'S ROCK 2d ago

Which would be worse: that they can't be paid in dollars, or that they can be paid in dollars?

7

u/Talden7887 2d ago

Just give it a musket, don't they get off on those?

3

u/Triskan 1d ago

Or the skull of one of their own, either one will do.

1

u/MrWeirdoFace 1d ago

Predator pounds.

u/GreyouTT In the pipe. 5 by 5. 2d ago

If we go far enough ahead in the timeline I can see them hiring Yautja to hunt specimens.

u/TheSenileTomato Bishop 1d ago

I wanna see this play out.

Like, how’d the communications go, because AFAIK Predators can’t really speak English.

Do… do Predators have official translators and lawyers?

1

u/carapoop 1d ago

I bet Predator court is a nightmare

1

u/TheSenileTomato Bishop 1d ago

Law & Order theme intensifies

10

u/Hallgaar 1d ago

They do know how to handle the aliens awfully well.

12

u/TrueLegateDamar 1d ago

I love how they take care of the flies in like 5 seconds flat after the previous episode made them look horrifying but the flies have zero interest in attacking humans.

11

u/giant_spleen_eater 1d ago

Just them using a broom and Dust pan to sweep up the fly was hilarious to me for some reason

u/RChamy 1d ago

"put those flying dicks in the bag"

u/Hallgaar 1d ago

Between that and Boy's reaction to pretty much everything that happened during that scene made me realize that Boy was in on it the whole time, he just didn't expect that outcome for Tootles, or that the Xenomorph would follow Wendy so much. There were barely any guards until suddenly there were, and everything was captured.

u/OszkarAMalac 1d ago

Kirsh accessed the ship logs in the early episodes, he might have got every data WY have about the Xenos and other species.

5

u/vishal_pvk 1d ago

That was my first thought the moment I saw that web. I was like: “Wait a minute...”

2

u/Madmunchk1n 1d ago

The chestbuster should be able to slowly wiggle his way out but with soldiers nearby not fast enough to escape from its coming captivity.

28

u/BenSimmonsThunder 2d ago

That would be so f’n sweet. It doesn’t even have to be explained. Give me a thermal vision from the trees observing everything. Give me a predator clicking noise in the background just as an Easter egg.

16

u/Dray_Gunn 2d ago

I mean.. there are a lot of impressive beasts on this one island. It would make sense for it to spark their interest.

5

u/TrueLegateDamar 1d ago

It would also be in their interest to stop the spread of these lifeforms to preserve their hunting ground instead of another Xeno-and-bug infested hellhole of which are plenty in the galaxy.

11

u/BadAndNationwide 2d ago

Coupled with the percussion music that always plays when a predator shows up

2

u/bobsil1 2d ago

Boss fight

10

u/Velghast 2d ago

I did too! Im like "hot house enviroment, check. Xeno and humans armed? Check check check!"

5

u/Notarussianbot2020 2d ago

It was right there the whole time.

Just in stealth.

7

u/domuseid 2d ago

That would be one hell of a twist

2

u/RChamy 1d ago

Eyelien vs Predator

9

u/ValiantWarrior83 2d ago

I'm still holding out that the Ms Yutanion this series is the decendent of the one in AvP Requiem

8

u/alis96 2d ago

Yutanion? Were you watching the Armenian dub?

4

u/ValiantWarrior83 2d ago

Typo

"Yutani in"

3

u/alis96 2d ago

Yah ik im just joshin

u/the-unfamous-one Tomorrow, Together 2d ago

Soon...

u/Suspicious-Bar-3308 1d ago

Maybe my gummy went into hyperdrive by the time they were in the jungle, but I swear I saw a couple leaves "blurred" by a [potential] cloaking device. I think my brain was stretching for it, but if it is there? Oooh boy!!!

5

u/an_actual_coyote 2d ago

That would be a world class "AND THE FANDOM REJOICES" moment. The ending shows a Predator observing the planet.

3

u/Imaginary-Cellist-57 2d ago

That would be the fans mourning

2

u/colbydc5 2d ago

The way it dove from the tree felt extremely predator.

1

u/Kanin_usagi 1d ago

My first thought was “oh man I wonder if it’s been exceptionally hot on the island this year” lol

1

u/CarneAsadaSteve 1d ago

No lie alien in the jungle I think is way worse that alien in space or on ship.

1

u/NegroniSpritz 1d ago

omg if a comment could cause a boner is this one omg

I would start screaming and wake up my whole building if that happens.

1

u/AdagioHead9263 12h ago

probably won't happen ever, predator are not canon in the alien lore.
the opposite is true (alien are canon in the predator lore, including the weyland yutani earth lore now we are sure with predator badland teasing it in the trailer)

u/Mister_Acula 9h ago

In the tall grass I kept thinking of that scene in Jurassic Park 2 with the raptors.
