Now, I'm not the biggest fan of Predators (as you may tell from my Avatar to the left), but I do have a respect for what they are and how they operate. I don't think they're the best thing since slice bread (hmm, sliced bread), but I hope I do understand what makes them cool.
I mention this because people keep telling me that Predators are nothing but big thieves, and that they stole all of their technology from some other race. I know this isn't touched upon in any movies, but I haven't read all the Predator comics and novels, so I was wondering if someone who had might tell me if this appears in any of the Predator or AvP EU.
Personally, I don't buy it, because it just lessesn the coolness of the killer in my opinion. Assuming the Predator's stole their technology seems to suggest that because they're more beastial and violent that they're societally "less evolved" than humans, and therefore couldn't be more technologicall evolved. I've always imagined that they have a very complex history and many long-standing traditions and customs, they just mostly involve wars and brutal in-fighting. They are, after all, aliens (little a), and therefore, they're not required to think and behave like we do.
Of course, I've also heard that the Preds are the rednecks of their civilization, and that the rest of their species not only don't go hunting, but look down on the backwards dregs of their society that do.
Eh.
