The silhouette teaser of Predator action figures is beyond worthless, but it did raise my awareness for something I hadn’t previously been clued into.
Falconer Predator.
How did I not know about this before? A Predator who uses the power of hunting fowl to attack his enemies? Maybe he even uses it to send messages?
When the film was first announced, I celebrated the idea of a Predator Earth because of the possibility of seeing Chef Predator and School Teacher Predator, but this Falconer Predator sounds far, far better.
Do you think he was a nerdy kid at Predator High, and he always went up to the roof to commune with the pigeons? And then in college, he got a falcon as a gift and just rolled with it? I can’t see any other backstory for that character.
To put how cool this is in perspective, watch this video, and imagine Will Forte is wearing a Predator costume:
Clap your hands if you believe.
