AVP? no comment.

why bro ?

why bro ?

2 Preds get wasted by 1 Alien. Predator weapon inconsistency. (Some melts and some don't?) Scar gets face F'ed and just leaves it in himself. And to add insult to injury he teams up with a human that BARELY proves herself then throws away his bomb gauntlet, which is NEVER DONE! Potential was there but totally ruined.

nice ..
one more to add, avp got a lot of armor but easy to beat up by the aliens

The movie wasn't great...but not for any of the reasons you listed.

Aliens are killing machines. They were arrogant unblooded predators. Makes sense that some of them might be killed.

There wasn't any inconsistency as far as I can remember. Some weapon types were acid resistant, others weren't. The combi-stick for example was acid resistant for each of the predators. Wristblades weren't.
They were unblooded so they can't have everything handed to them...makes sense.

Scar was going to fight until the end. It's not like chestbursters pop out minutes after being face-hugged. He had several hours to a day left.
Plus if he had proven himself, showed that he was a worthy warrior (which he did)...I'm sure the elder would've had the chestburster removed.
Makes sense..

She didn't "BARELY" prove herself. She killed an alien that was kicking his ass. That's a big deal. He was a "good" predator and felt that she deserved a chance to live after what she did.

I don't really think he should have used the wrist bomb at that time, but not a big deal.

What about condom-joke woman and the rest of them in the egg chamber? The cycle seemed pretty quick with them.

Hilarious that none have looked as real since. Apart from P2 perhaps.

People either got lazy/ less talented at creature fx/ or don't care enough.

The alien landed on the spear. All weapons should be made acid retardant since Preds use the same metal for all their weapons. Why use a weaker metal for the wrist blades and armor while stronger for spear and ceremonial dagger? Makes no sense. I agree that aliens are born killers but given that pred are highly trained hunters and well studied in the art of killing a species they've used in proving themselves for possibly millenias, they'd be a bit better prepared for it. They went in there like they had no idea what they were facing which made no sense.

Oh and it you were a pred and got face F'ed I doubt you'd find yourself still honored enough to keep yourself alive not to mention throwing away your bomb gauntlet which was your only possible salvation towards dishonor. It's just I characteristic for a pred to do that. As a person that may be new to the franchise I found it fun to watch but being a fan of the other films and the comics and graphic novels, I can't find any logic in the behavior of the AVP Preds. Gotta admit Celtic's bio design was badass!

I'm expecting a reply from you buddy but please don't expect an answer. I see people arguing for days on here trying to prove a point or get others to see thing in their way and I'm not here to do that not will be be persuaded to do so.
Let's jus say we love the franchise and are two sides of the same coin. Cool?

The alien leaped at a human girl. The human girl swiftly grabs Scar's combi-stick and impales it. That's pretty badass...for a human girl. Anyone else probably would have been slaughtered.

"Predators use the same metal for all their weapons."....did you just make that up?
It makes perfect sense. It was their trial. They have to prove themselves. Can't have everything handed to them.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if their clan leader told them "Okay, some of your weapons are acid resistant..some aren't. Good luck."
It makes things more dangerous...they have to rely on their skill more rather than the strength and resilience of their weapons.

Did it ever occur to you WHY the predators hunt the aliens? Because they are the ultimate prey. They are the "perfect organism". Training will surely help..but the alien is designed to kill. It is a living machine with only that purpose.
They knew what they were facing, but they underestimated them and that definitely showed.

Like I've said...it seemed like Scar thought he could redeem himself. As if he wanted to fight until the end and let his masters decide his fate.

I get what you're saying...that any predator would have ended himself right then and there. That it's the "honorable" thing to do.

I think Scar viewed it differently though. This was the end of it all and he wanted to go out on his feet. Fighting.

Well if you would just agree with everything I've said then we won't need to argue.


@a-dev
Yeah, that's true. I would guess a few hours based on where Lexa and crew were in the temple when they chest-bursted. But either way, he had time.

 

[a-dev]

Maybe Scar was waiting to break his own chestburster's neck - because he's that hard.

Ahahahahaha!!!!

Well at least we can all agree in that the first film is and always will be the greatest.
