Alien Intelligence

[Major Alan Schaefer]

well one pred makign an ambush isn't likely...but then again..
Dutch: I don't bealvie Jim Hopper walked into an ambush (so it could at least look like one)

It only looked that way from the bullet casings all over the floor.
"Looks like they fired in all directions..."

which...would make them think their getting ambushed...personally i think it's the aliens i'm jsut making that point

[uhhhhh]

"They cut the power."
"What do you mean they cut the power? How could the cut the power man they're animals!"

I wish the aliens would go back to being smart, instead of dumb space raptors.

Same, I think they have intelligence in this rendition, however.  There is various instances of possible intelligent behavior in the trailer.  The "ambush" call; the predalien disarming Wolf (yanks the chain away while Wolf's grip is still loose during the throw), etc.

However, I don't want this to come off as if I consider Aliens a galactic genius.  My personal take has always been that "regular" (read non-queen) aliens have the intelligence of an average dog, and the Queen to have slightly subhuman intelligence.

That is still pretty goddamn smart.

well i've never see a dog cut power...

i just noticed that they said "It's a f**king ambush!"

i thought the guy was saying "There're f**king after us!"

There are scenes where we get to see the Aliens thinking, and **NOT** just mindless attacking.


**EDIT** whoops I really mistyped that one.

i like that...shows the aliens arent mindless cannon fodder insects...

a question...in Alien and Alien 3 it showed that 1 alien was incredibly dangerous...will we see any 1 on 1 alien pred fights?

Couldn't we have thinking Aliens without the mindless attacking?

[pred_alien]

why not...everything does mindless attacking..even preds do it..so why cant aliens...as long as they're not shown as completely mindless im fine..and since colin said we will see them make traps im happy

Intelligent hunting. Agreed.

A situation like a feeding frenzy might be the exception, but we haven't seen one of those or what might trigger it.

It seems that nobody has yet considered the possibility that the Predator might have set a trap for the military: Luring them into an area so that the Aliens would attack them. Let both sides deplete one another's numbers, while it just observes.

That was a mis-type. I edited my post.

You should do a short animated feature at the end of avp2 with a ninja alien blindfolded holding a katanna killing hundreds of predators.

I would lol.
