Worst Villain Ever

>>83310774
>he rage quits
It's called honor suicide for failing his hunt, retard. The japanese are the dumb ones for using a sword over a bomb.

>>83310774
So he was human afterall?

>>83310774
That would probably make for a more interesting villain BUT I think it's better the other way around as a thriller since it creates more tension, and that seems closer to the movie's purpose.

It could also be rationalized that he sees himself as above humans and that's why he doesn't bother being honorable. It's not exactly 'fair' to pop a deer from half a mile away but either way you bagged him.

he was a reject back in predator country and all of his behavior was completely characteristic

>>83310774
Well it makes sense, he basically acts like human hunters, with arbitrary self-serving tules of how to be 'sporting'. Of course he's an inconsistent douchebag, he's a hunter.
Btw, the whole idea of making the entire Predator culture center on hunting was retarded nerding.

Aren't all the ones sent to Earth brash young bloods or something? I'm pretty sure it's even considered shameful to use the shoulder cannon. They're just young and inexperienced dickheads who think they're hot shit but are nothing compared to their elders back at home.

>Turns invisible and snipes dozens of gang members in Predator 2.

Predators have no honor.

>he DOES get beat
>by humans
>he ragequits
What a fucking noob. This is like losing the tutorial level.

>>83311133
When humans go hunting they typically don't give a shit about how 'honourable' it is. Especially considering our ability to pop something from half a mile away is what allows us to hunt.

>>83312771
In war, there is no greater honor than winning.

>>83311072
>honor

Where's the honor is trying to detonate something comparable to a tactical nuke in a city because you lost?

>>83310774
>being superior is being a pussy

>>83314660
he does that so humans won't get his technology

>>83314726
A bit overkill don't you think? When you destroy technology to stop it getting into other peoples hands you don't need to set of a 5 kiloton device to do it

>>83314675
being superior yet losing like a little bitch is

>>83314762
Best to be safe

>>83314772
>being superior mean no weakness meme

>>83314794
if you win you're superior
if you lose you're inferior

>>83310774
He's a hunter.
He's probably some redneck with a little money saved up back on his homeworld and paying a company to take him out to earth, give him a shit ton of advantages and then let him take a picture with his kills.

>>83314822
No, If you kill your enemies, they win.

>>83314879
Okay, Batman.

>>83312771
You confusing honor and sportsmanship. It's honorable to kick sand in your opponents eyes and stab him. It means your pulling all the stops because your fighting a highly experienced and lethal combatant. Fighting like this is a sign of respect even if it seems unfair.

Allowing your opponent to collect a dropped weapon before continuing the fight is a show of good sportsmanship, which is based on rules to keep things relatively even and fair. Doing this acknowledges that your opponent probably can't win without his weapon. But would you let Batman gather all his gadgets before a fight? Probably not. You'd snipe him as Bruce Wayne while he's having his morning coffee. Killing him any other way would probably result in a loss because he's a fucking badass. Sniping him is actually acknowledging that.

Hunting is usually about honor. You want to take the kill fast. You don't want your target to suffer if you can help it. Ideally, you pull the trigger and the animal simply drops without even knowing you were there. This is especially true if the animal is dangerous. Use every advantage because you acknowledge the enemy is smart or strong and will fucking kill you if you don't, which is exactly what happens to the predator in most films despite his gadgets.

I always assumed the self destruct thing was akin to leave nothing behind. This makes sure your buddies can still hunt at that location later on. You don't want bears to have camo and rifles next season. So they blow themselves up to make sure humans never get their technology.

Same deal with the Klingons

>Qapla! We're the bravest warriors in the entire galaxy, we serve with honor and we don't hide from any enemy!
>QUICKLY ENGAGE THE CLOAK

>>83314823
This. People aren't enemy combatants to him, just prey. We as humans don't go take on cape buffalo with a spear just because the buffalo can't shoot back. Being prey isn't supposed to be fair.

Really?

It's got nothing to do with honor. He wants trophies of strong predators. He has a necklace made of Cat skulls, a predator.
He didn't not kill the woman because of "honor", he ignored her because she couldn't possibly harm him and wasn't worth taking as a trophy.

>>83312714
The opposite. They consider Humans to be one of the more dangerous species to Hunt and only experienced Hunters actually come to earth.

>>83314495
yeah, and in predator 2 he gets beat by danny glover with a frisbee. really makes you think.

Didn't think about it like that before

>>83315607
BS. What about in AVP:R when the predators went around killing random UNARMED teenage town folk?

>>83312714
>>83315707
Wherever you're pulling this shit from it's non-canon.

>>83315469
What about in Predators when the predator had a sword fight with the Yakuza dude despite having a long range weapon?

>>83316547
Dude, it is avp movie...

When you go lion hunting, you do not shoot rabbits.

>>83316632
Predator probably respected him since he stopped running and wanted to 1v1.
The hunt was all about the chase, but when he chose to stop being prey the Predator couldn't refuse.

Do you really think other predators run out screaming so they can have a face to face with their prey or 'game' or whatever?

This is the way to hunt. Stay hidden and take out your target

>>83316816
preddators also do not give a single fuck about honour and kill the weakest stuff they can find (the children and the lame)

>>83316895
they don't really give a fuck about anything really

even if someone beats them, they usually get rewarded with death

>>83316941
Except Predator 2. Where the reward was a gay old gun.

>>83316623
They're probably getting it from all the 90s predator games like Urban Jungle. We know next to nothing about them from the movies. Aside from that they hunt humans and xenomorphs and have a hierarchical structure based on hunting experience.

in one of the comics one manlet predator gets saved by a woman and the rest of the predators make fun of him and the manlet rages because he had his honorable death stolen from him by being saved.

Nice non-point

>Hides with camo
>Kills his prey when they don't see him coming.
>Uses advanced weapons to get an unfair advantage
>When he DOES get beat, he rage quits

So he's basically the same as human hunters?

>>83317025
Explain how any of this isn't "fair". Humans not being allowed to use their brains to hunt is like not letting a tiger use its teeth or claws.

>>83317048
>Some redneck using pressing a button on a machine somebody else invented and built
>The hunter is using their brain, and is totally engaging in a real sport

>>83317048
Well it is a fair comparison, a human is fucked if he has to fight a big animal face-to-face.

>>83317096
>hunting is going into a forest and pressing a button
>muh redneck
wonder who might be behind that post

>>83317048
Define unfair then. With mental gymnastics like that there is no such thing as unfairness.

>>83317096
Right so wolves are cheating by hunting in packs
>>83317221
I'm not the one claiming something is unfair.

>>83312278
I completly agree with regards to predator culture.

>>83317281
Still better than what they did to the Alien culture.

>>83316632
Probably for the glory of it. Think of a prideful hunter telling the story how he kill ed the moose on his mantle. It was similar in the first film.

"...and this human learned how to conceal his heat and took out my cloak with a crude explosive. I took him down tho."

That was probably what he was hoping to tell his pred buddies before Arnold crushed him with a log.

All predators are cunts.
