Strictly speaking, there is only one reason why a sequel should be made. Not that the latter was a success and they are thinking of repeating it, but the writers have more to tell about its plot. Of course, the interest in getting more profit with it can push them to invent new reasonable arguments, which usually happens. But the most respectable in this regard are organic sequels like Predator: Prey.
In fact, none of the other films after the seminal predator can be seen in this way. They contain at least allusions to the work of John McTiernan. And predator from Shane Black to Stephen Hopkins set in Los Angeles. But no pull some thread that his predecessors had. except for the second crossover With Alien extraterrestrial hybrid generated in the previous one.
In any case, there obvious connection between Predator: Prey D predator 2 which indicates the origin of his story. And this despite the fact that Dan Tachtenberg said that the basis of his proposal is a non-existent scene from the first part. Specifically, the murder of Billy Soule, a Sioux-born lieutenant played by Sonny Landham. Of course, at the hands of a dangerous alien chasing his group of mercenaries in the jungles of Val Verde.

Predator 2 makes Predator: Prey essential
The young Comanche Nehru is the protagonist of the new Disney+ movie, which gives us a connection to another lieutenant: Mike Harrigan (Danny Glover). Narrative connection between 1719 and 1997. Her ability to fight a hunter from another world upsets some viewers who ignore the adage that skill is better than strength. But, although this is a different matter, his ability to resist and survive makes french hunter ask him for help so as not to die.
This is a guy with the features of Bennet Taylor, who her group, destroyed by her and the deadly monster, used as an interpreter. and main character Predator: Prey agrees to his pleas because he was kind and offers him an exchange. If you heal his wound and stop the bleeding from the amputation of his right leg, he gives him a flintlock pistol and teaches her how to use it. The appearance of an interstellar enemy distracts Nehru’s attention, but he takes a firearm with him.
Later, the final confrontation of the last warrior of the tribe with him is always plausible. Because her dignity as an adversary is based not on physical strength or ferocity, but on the agility and cunning that a young woman possesses. And he uses a gun, which he then hands over to the Comanche chief. The moment on which Dan Tachtenberg focuses his inscription: “Raphael Adolini, 1715”. So this is the same to which the aliens present Mike Harrigan at the end predator 2.
What remains to be said about Rafael Adolini’s pistol
The cop in the Stephen Hopkins film, like Nehru, ends up defeating the interplanetary ogre. Inside his spaceship, to be exact. For this reason, and in accordance with the customs of his ancestors, he receives as a reward the weapon of a French hunter from the hands of some anxious comrades accompanying the beetle. This is one of those trophies they take from the hunt. So do the filmmakers. they want to assume that they have been coming to our planet for at least several centuries.
Such information is consistent with that provided to us in Alien vs. predator. East crossover Paul W. S. Anderson explains that humanity has interacted with these creatures since ancient times. And in predatorsJapanese mobster Hanzo finds a very old samurai sword belonging to another kidnapper in order to hunt him down. But they may have turned the gun in predator 2 thinking of telling my story during another movieand therefore we have Predator: Prey.
Or short Predator: Celtic Days, which is an unofficial account of Rafael Adolini’s pistol. Therefore, it is obvious that neither the public nor those responsible for the saga consider this a minor detail. And if what the chapters hold together matters to the narrative decisions, there’s no questioning the origins of Dan Tachtenberg’s recent adventure. But We don’t know how a gun kills predators Mike Harriganso there is something to clear up in the new feature films.
