Makes you wonder why they bother using the same situation when there has already been a massive infestation before.  Seven would be enough and to avoid an infestation, they should have disabled the mechanism to stop more eggs being brought up in the temple. Also the pyramid should be devoid of humans during the hunt.

Yeah.  Not a huge challenge - unless they're supposed to be fighting hand-to-hand and the guns are a back up and they're Twitch streaming back to the mother ship so they don't cheat.

The overt explanation is that 3 Predators couldn't hold off an entire pyramid - so they nuked it.

Under normal circumstances they had 7 Aliens to deal with at a Bouvet style temple.

I think wolf sometimes gets a free pass because he looked and acted (physically if not logicially) more like the Predators of the original two films. The original AVP was just too drastic with its changes and the bulkier look never really worked.

Always cracked that up to Celtic being an alpha male and a Youngblood which is why he was more brutish. There are parts of AVP I absolutely love which I'm sure aliens fans hate, but the subtle implication that 3 predators could actually hold off that entire pyramid of xenos with the line "IF the hunters lost" and the fact that the pyramids still exist indicates the hunters didn't always lose that fight... 😳. The flashback sequences with the preds should have been what the whole movie was like imo, BA predators vs armies of aliens, similar to broken tusk in Prey or any other book yautja. Even the youngbloods from Prey leapt in and took out about 4 xenos before going down lol

I don't get the adoration for Wolf.

He looked great (especially compared to the previous film's Predators) but he was only "cool" because the script made every Alien he faced into a moron that completely forgot how to fight as soon as he grabbed them to strike a silly pose.

He also totally f**ked up his job of containing the Alien outbreak because he was too busy skinning cops in the woods for no reason. Come on, dude, are you there to cover this mess up or leave skinned cadavers hanging around for everyone to see?

Oh the writing is bad lol, nothing makes sense and the xenos are idiots, but the implication of wolf is kinda what I think we all like about him. He sits on a throne overlooking a yautja settlement, he owns like 10 different biomasks all filled with blooded markings. His own helmet has more runes carved into it than the pyramids of AVP, he's got a weapons rack of which he chooses his favorites of like 20. And perhaps most importantly something that only recently occurred to me, of all the people on yautja prime they could have called... they call wolf. Like the hype behind this guy, even his face tells a tale. I think that's why we all like him, he's very much hyped as the end all be all of predators

Ya know if you change the brightness on AVPR and can actually see the thing Wolf ALMOST redeems some of the movie's worse scenes, like he's great, closest thing to an elder I think we will ever see on screen. Of course there is some really stupid stuff like the pregnant woman and predalien makeout scene, but overall I enjoy AVPR when I can see it.

Alien Ressurection makes me question why the Alien series ever continued after 3

Sacrilege! I enjoy all the Trooper films, even the bad ones.  :P And none are on the unwatchable level of Requiem!

With a fraction of the budget, I couldn't believe how much I was enjoying Starship Troopers 3: Marauder. I was like yeah!! They recaptured the spirit of the first film!

Then, unfortunately, it was the last 20 minutes or so that suddenly drove me to drink.  :-\
