>>6020996>the studio thought it ruined the surprise of what the Pred actually lookedThe mostly just wanted the mask to look simpler, sleeker, and less detailed, so it it was more memorable.
The Gort mask looks a little stupid, to be honest. The big, bug eyes and stuff actually makes it look too cutesy and friendly anyway. It was fine enough for a background Predator in P2, but I don't think it would have worked so well as a main Predator.
>and then in AVP they made it into Celtic's maskMaybe they sort of reused the look, but not the actual mask.
Literally everything from the Predator 2 suits didn't exist anymore. They cobbled them together with whatever parts they had, and then after the movie the made, they lost all suits and helmets.
Seriously. That's why they're called the Lost Tribe. Not because of some canon, or in-universe reason. They're referred to as the Lost Tribe because the studio literally lost the suits and no one knows where they are.
