The predator trailer: Badlands continues to talk. Naturally, the debate among fans has focused on the obvious connection with important implications in the history of the film with The Alien Universe. But there is a frame of the advance where several references can be seen to other large science fiction tapes hidden with the naked eye in a trophies room. Of all of them, the one that is leaving us intrigued is An elongated and conical skull that many believe belongs to un harvester de Independence Day.
As you will surely remember if you have seen the science fiction blockbuster starring Will Smith in 1996, Harvesters (or harvesters) are A planetary annihilation force that travels through the galaxy with giant ships and weapons of mass destruction driven by an infinite need for resources for whom humans are a simple hindrance. On the contrary to the yautjas, that although they are as advanced at the technological level as the former, they prefer to go out to the stars in search of decent dams to be able to hunt. While Some seek to destroy us using a powerful arsenal of fire and hive armies with thousands of “soldiers”, others simply travel in small groups for Add new trophies to be able to “show off”. While in some collective interest (the hive mind) is the main thing, in other premium the individual.
They do not seem to be two species with a lot in common, but the galaxy can sometimes be a small place and we do not have to rule out that both will run into each other, either because the former would like Yautja Prime resources, or because the latter would like to add a Harvester to their collection. I lean for the second, since The harvesters usually think well every step they take and getting with a race as advanced at technological level as they would not be a very good idea.
What if it wasn’t a Harvester that of the skull?
But is it really the skull of a Harvester? I have been looking and, at least at the time of writing of the post, I have not found an official confirmation. It is true that its appearance coincides with what we have seen in Independence Day, but it is also a reality that is not the first alien being with a skull in an elongated and conical way. As a Reddit user exposes, The Martians From the world’s war they also had their heads like that, and this reference may serve them. Hopefully Dan Trachtenberg will take us out of doubt.
The War of the Worlds / Independence Day. Which of the two reminds you most?Is it just an ‘Easter-Egg’ or is there anything else?
Being Independence Day a 20th Century Studios franchise I inclined more to think than Yes, we are facing a Harvester although he can present possible failures in his design with respect to what we remember from his films. If that is the case, could we have a predator vs. Harvesters? I doubt it. The wink does not seem to have clear implications in the plot as the topic of Weyland-Yutani Android has it. But it could be a Disney probe balloon launched with the aim of seeing if there is interest among fans for a new saga movie.
The last one, Independence Day: Resurgence, premiered nine years ago with somewhat less successful than the original film of 1996 but, above all, with very negative criticism by the audience that left the saga wound, as it was at the beginning of the predator. We will see what this whole issue ends.
Predator: Badlands will arrive in Cinemas on November 7, in June the predator animation anthology is also launched: Killer of Killers, and in the trailer trophies room we also see the skull of a dinosaur from which I have a theory that I hope to be able to share it this week in the 3DJUEGOS pages.
