Hulu's Prey (2022), the fifth installment of the Predator franchise, is set in 1719 and features a Comanche female protagonist. The setting is unlike the 1987 Predator and its sequels, with their hardbody machismo and conservative politics. We argue that Prey is a small but significant step in Hollywood, but its inclusivity comes at a price. Though praised as progressive, it perpetuates a worldview in which Native Americans are ‘noble savages’ and processes of colonial dispossession are framed as quasi-natural occurrences. Prey provides clues on the future of franchises in terms of how minority histories and subjectivities are represented.
Hulu 出品的《猎物》（2022 年）是《掠食》系列电影的第五部，故事背景设定在 1719 年，女主角是科曼奇人。这一背景与 1987 年的《掠食》及其续集的硬汉大男子主义和保守政治不同。我们认为，《猎物》是好莱坞迈出的一小步，但意义重大，但其包容性是有代价的。尽管该片被称赞为进步之作，但它却延续了一种世界观，即美国原住民是 "高贵的野蛮人"，殖民掠夺的过程被定格为准自然现象。猎物》在如何表现少数民族历史和主体性方面为特许经营的未来提供了线索。
