Extreme amount of leveling-up here. She fights a lion, fights a bear, invents a new way to throw an axe, invents a grappling hook to save herself from quickswamp, learns from everyone else’s mistakes, masters her own weapons, fights French trappers, learns the white man’s weapons, learns the alien’s weapons, then defeats the alien using all these tools and skills.<\/p>\n
Amber Midthunder is from X-Men spinoff Legion<\/em>, where she shares a body with Bill Irwin. Trachtenberg is good – he made my favorite Black Mirror<\/a><\/em>, Cloverfield<\/a><\/em>, and now Predator<\/em>.
