QuoteHow else was it going to fight the thing?
Anything that doesn't look like a wrestler that has overweight is welcome.
QuoteIts blades melted off
And that was a failure to begin with. A species that fights Aliens for
thousands of years, that has managed to create space travel technology and has a highly defensive weapon system isn't able to enhance their weapons to make it acid proof? Very unlikely.
Quotethe net is useless at extreme close range
Given the scene where the Predator shoots the net while the Alien is jumping at him in high speed i would say the net works pretty good at close range. there is the scene while they just stand there and the alien is snorting at him, there was enough opportunity to use the net gun.
Quoteit had no spear
It was right next to him sticking in Colin Salmon , all he had to do is to just grab it.
QuoteAll it could hope to do was beat the shit out of the thing, which it tried to do in spades.
And there would be nothing wrong with it when he would at least
try to kill it. It was on the ground, he had thick sandales, try to crush the head, rip its inner jaw out while its on the ground, just do something to kill the thing.. but Noooo.
QuoteUnless you wanted it to break out the martial arts
I just wanted it to behave like something that knows what its doing. And there comes the agile problem. Its just standing there letting itself getting fooled by the Aliens tail or even falling to the ground instead of jumping in the air to avoid something like that.
When Predators don't have weapons they become fighters, they punch and use their shattering strength, give the Alien a good swing like the first one did with dutch, let nothing untried to harm the thing, not tackle it or roll on the floor.
