The Chopper Predator is such a waste of a cool design

[OmegaZilla]

Chopper is as wasted as the Lost Tribe

his death by the hands of the Alien is just *chef's kiss*

however I would've loved to see more human fodder kills by his sweet-ass looking butcher blades...

If I had my way with it, any reboot would have Chopper crawling out of the rubble in an after credits, look around and wonder to himself "where'd everybody go?" as a little joke about him being the first to die but the only one to survive the reboot.

That would be amazing and if I were the director I'd put that IMMEDIATELY

[D88M]

It has been 18 years and i still cant get over how his blade bends like rubber when he gets thrown to the floor.
And is something so obvious and noticeable the very first time you see the movie i dont understand how they could let it happen.
Overall it baffles me when movies take years of pre post production and everything in the middle, with hundreds of people working on it and millions of dollars spent, and they commit amateur continuity mistakes like that.

And yeah he had a really cool mask i still like it, Celtic too, i remember being dissapointed that they killed the two with the coolest designs and let the one with the most plain mask be the survivor.

It's kind of funny that AVP is made by a director who obviously loves the Xenos a lot more while Requiem is made by Predator fanboys. The end result always makes one species look bad. 

What would folks here considered to be "balanced" Alien vs Predator action?

[SiL]

AvP was balanced. Predators dominated at range, Aliens dominated up close. But Predators still got some close kills.

It would've been more satisfying for Celtic to live longer and for there to be more action, but his death was in character.

AvPR had to nerf the Aliens to let Wolf win.

It is true, back on topic, I don't think Chopper's that great of a design myself, so I never minded, the music for his death rules and strangely it is nowhere to be found on any release of the score.

[Komenja]

I don't much care for his bio-mask, but I really dig those skull poles/totems he has on his back, and the arm blades. I'd love to see more Preds with those elements.

[Wweyland]

He was a red shirt Predator and I am fine with that.
They could have done a bit more with him, maybe let him be the one that gets facehugged, because nothing about Scar getting facehugged/chestbursted makes sense.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I can not believe it but I have to defend AVP 2004, it makes perfect sense, people forget ironically that you get amnesia after it does the job.

It makes sense, it's just disappointing. All three Predators are effectively dead within 10 minutes.

[Komenja]

At least Scar managed to last long enough to fight a Queen and awaken Lex's inner xenophile before he died.

[BlueMarsalis79]

Huh all dead, never thought of it that way.

Except a facehugger's corpse laying nearby and Scar should know what that means ...

[Komenja]

I like to think that he was fully aware he was living on borrowed time, and that he was going to kill himself after awarding Lex her sick tribal tat Blooded mark, but then the Queen popped up and ruined the moment.

If Lex hadn't proven herself worth helping, he might've stayed in the pyramid and gone out with his wrist nuke.
