How the fuck did these homocidal savages develop intergalactic travel?
>>
>>217364050
That's a good question actually.
>>
>>217364050
If we only take in the first movie into account all we know is that there is an alien who is into big game hunting. That's it. We know nothing about his race as a whole.
>>
>>217364115
Yeah but there's a lot more to the franchise than the first movie yet this detail is never once explained.
>>
NOOOOOO I NEEEED EVERYTHING EXPLASINED I CAN'T USE MY IMAGINATION PLEASE GROK TELL ME HOW FICTIONAL FARTLEBLARP HYPERDRIVES WORK SCIENTIFICALLY WITH REAL SCEINCE (NOT G*D RELGIOIN IS THE OPIATE OF FOOLS) HOW IS THIS REALISTIC WHAT WAS THE PREDATOR TAX POLICY EXPLAIN EXPLAIN EXPLAIN NOWWWWWWWW

what? but I did eat breakfast this morning, what a silly question!

How the fuck did they kill the unkillable prey?
>>
>>217364050
they had white predators but they didn’t breed and went extinct and their tech was left behind to the rest of the predators
>>
Didn't they steal the tech first from some other alien race?
>>
>>217364050
Stole it are you stupid?
>>
>>217364204
not canon to the film

>>217364186
Well that makes a lot of sense when you consider the dreadlocks actually.
>>
>>217364158
You see in the year 18667 ZFYY algopletian scientist Zuuka Mu'Ghlakun created his first prototype Nailogian Turbocoil Phase Engine which lead to a massive expansion of Gruuigian space fleet...
>>
>>217364050
They didn't, they are a slave race that killed their masters and took their technology.
>>
>>217364163
Predator 2 is okay and lends itself well to Predator lore. The others can be ignored.
>>
>>217364213
No need to be racist, anon.
>>
>>217364115
All the sequels and comics just flanderized an entire race into a bunch of retards instead of it being one dude on a space safari. For all we know all the other Predators think he's an embarrassment.

Anon, it's simple. Their species reached the technological point we see in the films, which is considerably advanced given the ease of ftl travel. With resources across the universe easily accessible, and autonomous computation, there's no need for innovation. What is left but obsessive pursuit of personal hobbies. The individual can hyper-fixate on their interests, to the exclusion of all else.

I.e. they put in enough work as a civilization to facilitate an unga bunga lifestyle.

AI singularity can't come soon enough.

>>217364050
Probably some aliens visited them and they took their shit and killed them for sport.
>>
>>217364351
reminder that Filipinos killed Magellan in 1521 and took one of his ships and plenty of guns, but it had literally no effect on the development of their culture. they were still backward savages when the spanish came again 150 years later.
the idea that savages could easily incorporate advanced tech into their culture completely retarded. you already need to have a developing society to even grasp the significance of what you just acquired to use it. they are much more likely to kill eachother and stunt their development even further with it than use it to grow powerful.

>In today's celebrity news, 'Glamrath The Safari Guy' passed away in an explosion while out on one of his many exotic safaris. Known for his controversial hunts of intelligent and dangerous wildlife, the reality star was killed by his quarry, on the planet designated SR 1827, when it turns out one of the prey animals lured Mr Glamrath close, then proceeded to detonate a high-explosive device, killing both of them.
>His family has released the footage posthumously stating that "It is what he would have wanted. He was dedicated to the hunt no matter what anyone told him." The footage is available publicly, but we warn about strong scenes.

I agree and your post reminded me of this:

>>217364050
Culture is relative and about as important as the color of the paint job on your car. Like a culture that believed in blinding every second child has value and can even thrive. Trying to change cultures to be "better" is fascism. At least that's what I've been told.

I did this + the "average height" question to someone I care about yesterday, and the results broke my heart. NPCs are real

>>217364050
When you run out of things to kill you get inventive.
>>
>>217364050
Supposedly they stole it from another more advanced race that conquered them and enslaved them. Same as Klingon lore.
>>
>>217365800
>Predators killed the Klingons
By the looks of things, they mated with them too! Fucking savages.

Glad someone agrees with me. Them turning the predator into

was retarded and gay.

they bullied some other nerd aliens into making it for them

Hes not even a rich dentist on a safari, hes one of those ex pmc guys that shows up in africa and blasts niggers for fun simply because he can

>>217364050
savages are always more advanced, death is the only thing that is eugenic and once you get agriculture there's basically no more evolutionary culling beyond war.

why do you think asia was so primitive compared to europe
>>
>>217364050
>>217364106

It's the total absence of feminism from their society. Even the women are dead butch.

Also, hunting and meat-eating are objectively higher and more complex activities than foraging for vegetables, so hunting in and of itself implies a certain intelligence, or at least evolutionary development.

>>217364281

Mom naturally hates the Alien movies, but dad watched Prometheus and he actually liked it. I admit there's a few interesting scenes, but I have a central reason for disliking Prometheus. Mom actually asked me seriously once about why I don't care for Prometheus (although she had no interest in watching it), and I said that it explains the mysterious alien fossil guy from the first movie, thereby ruining it, and I would have preferred if it had remained a total mystery.

im not a predatorfag but were there females? in the new flick it ends wi/ the mom showing up.
>>
>>217364050
Less than 0.001% of the population goes on hunts.

>>217364050
Rhey stole it from black people

Carnivores and hunters are smarter than herbivores. Exploration and technology require aggression.

Only valid answer in the entire threat.

“Yautja” is the stupidest name ever.
>>
>>217367987
>Klyntar

Check. Mate.
>>
>>217367987
Oh like Klingons, Cardassians, Ferengi, Wookies, Hutt, and Chozo are any better?
>>
>>217364050
They stole it from a canine like species that kept them as slaves.
I think they are sculptures of them seen on the predator planet in the newest movie

>>217364216
>not canon to the film
Canon according to the director of the newest film. There are some ruins of the precursor race briefly visible
>>
>>217368159
>Klingon
It sounds warrior like, kind of like Mongol.
>Wookies
It sounds okay for a big, goofy, bear like creature.

“Yautja" It sounds like its a name for a musical instrument.
>>
>>217364050
Stole their tech from Amengi, who kept them as slaves, there are Amengi statues in Prey
>>
>>217368340
A race with intergalactic tech would have lived an era where they discover that keeping slaves is just a bad idea over time. They would have learned that extermination is preferable to slavery. THEN and ONLY THEN would they be able to develop the tech.
>>
>>217368214
>of the newest film.
opinoin immediately discarded

>A race with intergalactic tech would have lived an era where they discover that keeping slaves is just a bad idea over time.

It was a prank bro
>>
Maybe we see them on safaris, their equivalent of vacation. Maybe you had 2 piece suits or foreman overalls with hard hats predators at home
>>
>>217364281
hol up, what if the predator tech is just stolen from these wh*te niggas
>>
>>217367987
They kept it from a 1994 book.

It sounds tribal and primitive. It's appropriate for the culture they come from.
>>
>>217364307
Kind of like with Klingons, I have to assume that their society has teachers and garbagemen and professional golfers and such. Fishermen. Roofers.
I think it's worth an episode or two about the sad klingon fuck that has to hang his head in shame because he couldn't cut it at warrior school and now he collects garbage, but he still does his job well to not bring dishonor to his house.
>>
>>217364050
I think they got a little lift from a more advanced race.
>>
>>217364050
i was always wondering how they developed those complex tools with the claws they have
>>
>>217370171
Dude, they can't see shit without their masks, how they can operate delicate tech? Build microchips? Weld a bolt?
