When more Yautja culture is revealed in Predator: Killer of Killers, what’s revealed is exhilarating and I’m sure we want more!

Over the years, the lore surrounding the Yautja has evolved. In the latest installment, Predator: Killer of Killers, they seek more than just the thrill of the hunt. From standalone films to crossovers with the Aliens universe and various comic books, each iteration adds something new to this elite race of galactic hunters.

Should one of their targets survive by defeating a Predator, that individual earns a mark of respect. Without giving away too much of this animated magnum opus, the story by Dan Trachtenberg (who also directs) and Micho Robert Rutare raises the stakes. It honors the tradition of the original film while incorporating familiar elements from both the live-action entries and comic books—such as the possibility that a clan leader might offer the victor a place among them.

Predator: Killer of Killers is Coming Soon! Can Humanity Survive?

Sorry Marvel Comics, but Dark Horse Comics got the right idea on how to continue Predator with Killer of Killers–especially when I’m recognizing proper universe expanding elements in the trailer.

Predator Killer of Killers Movie PosterComing soon is Predator: Killer of Killers, and this animated entry may well be the best to date. There’s no denying the original set the precedent, and the last film, Prey, gave fans what we really wanted rather than a shared universe with another alien. I love the idea of combining some IPs, but to see Marvel Comics having this ultimate assassin go up against their own heroes is a huge misstep! Yes I know they are non canonical material, but I don’t want it.

The trailer that was released a few days ago gave this long-time fan goosebumps! Killer of Killers will be released on June 6, and Badlands will be on Nov 7. Dan Trachtenberg is the creative mind behind both works, and it’s about time someone is handling this IP rather than random individuals hired to add their take on top. I have been enjoying the extended universe through Dark Horse Comics rather than the other company, and I suspect this filmmaker has done the same when considering the vibe I’m getting from the teaser.

Taking Aim at NFTs in Futurama “The One Amigo”

Fans will be pleased Futurama has not lost any of its wit and satire in this latest release. And there’s more crazy stuff still to come on a weekly basis!

Futurama Season 12Airing Mondays on Hulu

These new episodes of Futurama are taking a deeper aim at today’s modern trends and I’m loving it! Not every season tends to be as this nasty, but when compared to the past, I’m glad what’s examined is technically reverent. This series has always been Matt Groening and David X. Cohen‘s way of critiquing what’s wrong with today’s ills, strange digital norms and everything else in between!

“The One Amigo” pokes at what Non-fungible tokens represent. And to make it all about Bender is hilariously perfect! Not only is this episode able to explain what they are to those who don’t understand tech, but also criticise for whether it’s even transferable.

Barely A Slice. Regarding Hellraiser 2022 Weak Reboot.

Fans of Clive Barker’s works will either love the new Hellraiser movie or hate it.

HellraiserAvailable on HULU

When deciding on what to watch for the All Hallow’s Eve “long” weekend, fans of Clive Barker’s works will either hate the new Hellraiser or love it. Usually, it’s best to not reimagine popular horror icons of the past. Two prime examples are Friday the 13th and Evil Dead. Neither fared very well when they lose some detail which made these works and its antagonist iconic. When this tale concerns Riley (Odessa A’zion) finding a puzzle box and whom she meets is played by an actress rather than an actor, my curiousity was piqued.

What we get presented with is a semi-decent update on the original narrative, The Hellbound Heart. I suspect the idea to “reboot” this franchise is to modernise it for a Millennial audience. As for how involved Clive Barker is to this film, I doubt he was on set to provide feedback. Thankfully, he at least got producer credit.

From Frightful Predator to Prey, A Comic Book Reader’s Perspective on ther Prequel

In this movie, Naru must prove that in order to avoid becoming the prey, she better be able outsmart her predator!

Prey Movie PosterSpoiler Alert

Anyone who read Dark Horse Comics‘ Predator series (1989-2020) will be familiar with where Prey is headed. The thought of sending one of these hunters to Earth’s distant past is nothing new, and I’ve read enough of this run to know those times where they’ve intruded upon the past, ranging from 1718 to WW1, is often a bloodbath. No matter which civilization they meet, making peace with this alien species is nearly impossible.

In one corner of the confrontation is the said Predator and the other, a Comanche tribe. Caught in the crossfire are French fur traders, and I had to chuckle. The era this tale is set in is sometime during colonisation, and the land is more than a little wild. Its downright dangerous, as viewers will soon discover. Sometimes, these tales involve two differenct factions having to work together to succeed, but when we’re dealing with a franchise dealing with people dying, nobodhy is going to win! Fans must not forget the Predator usually makes situations worse for the heroes. They are often dealing with other threats and to save their own skin is the least of their worries!
