Ever since its announcement, <em>Prey<\/em> has faced backlash and ridicule for its casting and the 18th-century setting.

Honestly, those people have no idea what they&#8217;re talking about. First of all, I feel really proud of our movie and I think [director] Dan [Trachtenberg] is an incredible filmmaker. He has made something that people can eat their words over.&#8221;\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\n<em>Prey<\/em> is currently sitting on a franchise-best 93% fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating and has been well-received by virtually everyone who watched it without preconceived notions. Not every story with a diverse cast and a female lead is &#8220;woke,&#8221; and Midthunder argues that <em>Prey<\/em> is simply about an individual determined to prove her mettle.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n&#8220;I think a lot of people thought our movie would be some super-woke, F-the-patriarchy kind of a story, and that&#8217;s not what it&#8217;s about at all. It&#8217;s not a girl defying what men say she can and can&#8217;t do. It&#8217;s literally an individual who feels called to something, and the people who know her don&#8217;t think that is her calling. That is so much more personal and, I think, as the character, harder to deal with than anything.&#8221;\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;They [Comanche] were known for being some of the fiercest warriors of all,&#8221; Midthunder said on critics\u2019 reservations about Native Americans&#8217; fighting ability. &#8220;And they did have female-warrior society, so there were women that fought and hunted. So yeah, I think you look at that and you just [tell yourself], &#8216;Alright, whatever, people are always going to say stuff.&#8217; I&#8217;m proud of what we did.&#8221;<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n<span class=\"related-single\">Related: Prey: Naru Vs.
