At first look, this seems to be the top of Naru’s story. In contrast to the remainder of her tribe, she has been in a position to put this monster from the celebs within the floor, completely, and returns residence with the creature’s head dripping superb, neon inexperienced blood. If you happen to turned the film off after the credit started, you’d suppose that’s the finish of the story; Naru proved herself a real warrior and her Comanche folks had been freed from intergalactic colonizers… nevertheless there may be extra to the story in case you paid shut consideration to the top credit…
The Prey Put up-Credit ‘Scene’
The “post-credits scene” in Prey is technically neither after the credit or a full scene. Relatively it’s a cheeky and monumental sequence which teases an actual scene of horror and bloodshed halfway by means of the ending scrawl.
When the top textual content begins rolling in Prey, we’re handled to a kind of good and costly wanting animated sequences which have turn into all the style within the final decade. It’s virtually the one variation of a credit score sequence that Marvel Studios will entertain nowadays. But there’s one thing cleverer and extra mischievous at play right here. Deliberately meant to emulate the kind of ledger artwork practiced by Plains Indian communities, together with the Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Comanche, amongst others, the credit sequence is designed to inform in sketch artwork the story of the film you simply watched.
In essence, the animated sequence means that Naru’s victory over the Predator turned the stuff of legend and oral custom: a narrative that was handed down from one era to the subsequent, together with ultimately on ledger paper. And as we method the top of its above the road credit—for 20th Century Studios and Hulu—we see the climactic moments of Prey’s story reenacted: Naru kills the Predator with the assistance of her mighty canine and carries his emerald-kissed head again to her individuals who rejoice.
… It then retains going. The Comanche’s celebration is minimize quick as ominous storm clouds roll in from the heavens—and a number of alien ships (at the very least three?) seem within the sky, promising a continued invasion and a number of Predators.
This animated sequence clearly teases the story just isn’t over. At most, we’ve reached a sort of intermission earlier than the true take a look at comes when the Predators return to Comanche lands in pressure. What occurs subsequent? Nicely, presumably we’d want one other film to seek out out.
