so why the f**k did he wait???!?
It leads to 2 questions:
Why the f**k did Anytime wait to kill Arnie?
Why the f**k did Pussyface wait to kill Harrigan?
:P

People call it suspense...  graduation of suspense... It happens in movies.  ;)

I know and I appreciate it so much - but the point is that there's practically no difference between Pussyface waiting to kill Harrigan and Celtic waiting to kill Gridalien. The old one did it so I can't see why the new one can't.
Also, is it Suspense or Suspence? I've never taken it.

QuoteWolf is a perfect of an Alltime (:P) stupid predator.
Yes, in a totally idiptic movie. You know that. It has the same problem in this way (no, it's much more worse) like avp. So it's not an argument for me.

Because the hunter in p2 thought he killed Harrigan, and celtic's blades were melt to their core in a second. What did he guess would grid's acid do with that tiny net? It's utmost stupidity, only Wolf's unicellular intellect can make rings around it.

Harrigan was still on his feet.
Celtic maybe thought the net was more resistent than the Wristblades.

Because they got overconfident for that moment, and let their guard down. Doesn't mean they are like that all the time.
Which answers to DoomRulz's question:

No it doesn't. In the two Predator movies, the main character has script immunity. It doesn't matter how stupid the Predator becomes, he's going to die regardless. In AvP, the fight could've gone either way.

In AvP, Grid is sort of a main character and has a sort of script immunity seeing that he dodged 2 times Scar's blasts.

Dodged once. Grid isn't a main character either; I don't buy into that. He's just an Alien.

He's the fookin Alpha Alien. ;D
But that remains, script immunity or not, all three waited and paid their wait.

Not exactly. He's Alien main character, IMHO... ;)

Harrigan was kneeling after several strikes he had (and a net that should have killed him). Not to mention the condition the hunter was in. He sustained serious damage, and that could cloud his logic. The two cases aren't on the same level, not near.
Why would celtic assume it? Maybe because all the gear he used was demolished by the acid, and it was only a matter of seconds. And the net was fuming. Even if he assumed it's more  resistant, he should have made his move asap he could. But he didn't. It's not simple miscalculation (based on overconfidance) like what the hunter in p2 did.

QuoteNo it doesn't. In the two Predator movies, the main character has script immunity.
As an argument I don't see its meaning. It can be said for the predator too. The script is written in the way because they want it to be. They wanted to show, the predator can be defeated  that way too.

Yes, but the main characters in movies was Dutch and Harrigan, not Preds. And they had script immunity.
This is why humans always win. Script immunity. ;)

The difference being? He's still just an Alien. He just happens to have a funky design on his noggin.

Being Stupid =/= Predator.

And he could have throwed them away and then use the caster, or use it before doing that stupid move.

I'm not saying he's a prime example of what a Predator should be (Hell, I don't even think the one from Predator 2 is), I'm just saying he was more of a Predator than the ones in AVP. He looked and acted like a Predator should. It's just a shame he did stupid things.
