We're talking preferences - what you like, or what I like, really doesn't have anything to do with what a fictional organism might like.
It's also not a great comparison. Actual hunters won't hunt in certain seasons or certain weather conditions because they aren't favourable. That's closer to the mark than safely watching a game.
Hell, those sports players sometimes won't play if the conditions are wrong. It's very different comparing an activity you're active in, vs passively watching from the sidelines.
No, hunting seasons are pretty much based on population control. There's plenty of hunters right here in Pennsylvania that would go all year long if they could!
Maybe not conveyed as well, but my comparison was more in regard to the vast degree difference we'll sit through not generating additional activity body heat to keep us warm, compared to the smaller degree difference they will / will not hunt in. Jungles are still damn hot!
But yes, go ahead and compare that to the American football players that are playing. They'll play in sweltering heat to below freezing temperatures, while it's snowing. (Lightning storm though - they're off the field. Too dangerous. )
So the original point still stands, if humid 100°F / 37 Celcius is no longer ideal to go have some fun hunting in a still sweltering (to us) jungle... that it affects Predators too much physiologically to run around and throw smart discs and shoot plasma casters, then the -35 °F/C average of Antarctica should be an outright death dealer for Scar, the Elder, any Predator that stands in it and doesn't compensate.
All I personally wanted to see was some extra effort put forth to show the audience Predators compensating for the cold in some way - via technology, medicine or apparel. A syringe shot resulting in their veins illuminating with a momentarily red glow. A breather mask of some sort (which would looked so cool). Then I would have been good-to-go based on the previous films internal logic. But staying consistent to lore for both creatures did not seem to be a priority to Anderson. What can ya do. I know it used to bother others in this community, maybe it was just the old timers, and me an Briggs are the only ones left complaining. Oh well
One more from you if ya want, then let's get back to Skulls!
