Lol these fools keep talking about a 100lb girl beating the predator
Dutch in predator got shot with a plasmacaster and just fell down and dropped his gun. That is worse moment of this franchise forget all the old out of shape danny glover or sanaan lathan becoming blooded
Naru is smart she has been watching the predator the entire movie before she finally lures him into a trap. She also fails a lot throughout the movie so you are really invested in her final fight because you have seen her grow throughout the film
Guarantee the same ones complaining about that now were the same ones saying that about the trailer. They were never going to enjoy the movie with so much bias going into it.
Most of her L's were from environmental danger. The quicksand, the bear, the lion, the trap, Frenchman...and those were mainly to highlight her inexperience/world building.
If anyone thought her fighting skills were lacking that should have gone out the window when she gave the Comanche breh that work hand to hand. Then she bodied multiple men with the hatchet. She was more well rounded skills wise than anyone in her tribe. That's why a female character made sense. The men weren't learning the things she did like her mother teaching her about medicine. Later on she helps a man with his wound and in exchange he teaches her how to use a gun which she then uses to get the helmet.
I really don't think the Predator took her seriously until she tricked him into cutting his own arm off. By then it was too late. Prep Time Naru already had the win sewn up
The Yautja homie put up a good fight she just wanted it more
