6ix, I was wondering if you ever saw Wind River, from 2017? I know Brenda has.

Gotcha.

I would say that I know somethings about a number of the tribes in Canada and the US. Not everything. Women in my tribe could speak at council meetings and when an idea was brought to the council it was looked at whether or not it was good for the tribe, it wasn't based on whether a man or a woman thought of it. My distant aunt Sacajawea was called to a big pow wow before the Little Big Horn, because our chief wanted her words about the white man as she had spent many years among them.
Like... Sacajawea from the gold plated US coin? No shit?
Hey Sigs. We've got royalty in the house.

That did puzzle me that there weren't more young men than just the group Naru's brother led. But on the other hand they were such a small band of Comanche that could explain it as well.
Yeah. You didn't get the feeling it was a very large tribe. I would just imagine for even a tribe of that size there would be more battle ready males than the half-dozen most that we saw. They were the most expendable people in those much harsher times... but only to a certain point. It doesn't matter how many birthing aged women there were back at the settlement if nobody was left to defend it.
But maybe what we saw would have been the right amount? It's not like anybody was expecting a Predator to show up in a spaceship right in their backyard when giving everyone out their job titles.

At then end Naru said that the band had to move, so it could be possible that they were a splinter group from a main group of Comanche. Maybe they rejoined that group.
That is a great point. She did say that, and I remeber thinking that's not a bad idea at all, and fast. Never considered the idea that she was maybe reuniting with the larger group. I'm sure given the situation they would have welcomed everyone with open arms.

There was an element of luck in Naru beating the Predator and like I said they would have to join up with a larger group of Comanche because there weren't enough warriors to defend them from the encroaching white man.
For sure.

I smell a potential sequel.

I'll have to look for it on YouTube. My library doesn't have Fallout.
It probably wouldn't be for quite a while. I don't know how long Amazon retains their exclusive rights or if they even license any of their stuff out for anybody else to use. Worth a watch whenever you can see it though.
Quote:NGL, I forgot what the point was at this point. But cool.
I can see your point again.

I've seen Predator and Predator II. Think I've seen AvsP, but I'm not positive. I saw the first Predator because of the Govenator.
Yeah. They were great.
Quote:
Thing is with there being only one, we don't know how long they live. Maybe this is a ritual the young ones of the Predator species has to go through and they are given all this tech and are told, "Go out into the Universe and make your mark."
Yeah. Good point. They're not really good at making it back home though, are they?

Exactly. Medicine people or shaman, handled injuries or foretold the future. All kinds of stuff like that.
Understood.
