Didnt someone once call him the steven seagal of predators? A chump who only looks "badass" when fighting incompetents?

Thats an accurate description imo

If the film doesn't show him being a badass, then he's not a badass. It's really that simple. It's entirely irrelevant what he was "meant" to be, the film itself never once shows him doing anything approaching competency at his job.

Yes the elite veteran with a substantial amount of markings on his mask, visible old physical damage who has been through, survived more and is older than any Predator we've actually seen in action on film was COMPLTELY useless clearly and it wasn't just because of writing flaws....

I just don't get how as a fan you can't garner even a little enjoyment out of any moment with him.


All those markings and past, as well as his status as a cleaner are just background information that Wolf fails to live up to on screen and he is no where near the oldest Predator on screen, Greyback is probably just as old if not older and the Elder from the first AVP is definitely older than he is if those wrinkles are any indication.

I said IN ACTION meaning fighting, etc.

And again I attribute the issues with the xenos to admittedly mediocre writing. They really wanted an experienced strong Predator showing they overlooked a lot on both ends. Also calm down a bit, don't gotta throw a tantrum and curse. We're not arguing here or I'm not.

Also c'mon the masks were all meant to be his same with the weapons and why he was shown to be overlooking an area.

And Huggs thank you for giving a more reasonable neutral perspective.

How can you get any enjoyment from watching Wolf kill Aliens when it's painfully obvious the writers nerfed them so Wolf would last the whole movie? Why would predators even hunt aliens if They're this pathetic? The predalien had at least three opportunities to kill wolf and all three times he just smacks him with his tail instead of just killing him. Wolf isn't a badass veteran hunter; he's a mary-sue. And yet despite all the protection the writers gave him, he still fails at his mission. The government drops a bomb on the town and kills all the aliens. The movie didn't even need him. That's why he sucks: he's just in the movie to show how "superior" he is to aliens(even though there isn't a single REAL alien in the movie) just so predator fanboys can drool over him And drone on and on about what a great elite predator he is. Even though the movie itself never calls him an elite or show him display any skill.

Or the grates and manhole entrances. He may not have had enough of them but if that was case, then more strategic placing should have been done. That being said, the bugs didn't escape until he blew a hole in the sewer.

Why didn't he have a laser grid covering the exit anyway?

Your sarcasm aside, it might not have. Aliens such as queens are intelligent (or at least supposed to be, can't really say much for Requiem ones) and what queens normally do is find a safe spot to establish a hive and they stay there.

Wolf basically messed with a hornet's nest and released them all and forced them to move into the public. If Wolf was truly badass and competent, he could have ended it in the sewers since at that point he would have only been up against nine Aliens, including the Predalien. He could have just plasma castered them one at a time instead of trying to engage them all. Or as SM said, Wolf could have just used the laser grid to contain them, depending on how long it lasts and if he contained them all, Wolf could just sit back watch them kill themselves trying to get at him.

QuoteWolf was just outnumbered. I can't blame him for not being able to cork that bottle. He may have been tracking down the one responsible for the procreation, but it was too late. He raised some hell though.

He did track down the one responsible for the procreation.  Then riled it up so it went on a rampage.

Yes because it totally wouldn't have anyway... ::)

Excuse me? I don't recall getting angry or throwing a tantrum or cursing, so its best not to accuse others of such ok? If you like him, that is fine, no one is debating with you about that, it is simply his so called badass feats or lack thereof that we are talking about.

My bad I'm on a break on my phone was referring to SiL getting a bit carried away. Meant to space that out more but there go my phone typing skills lol

Except the human characters would probably never "get to da choppa!" in this case due to unoccupied Predalien and all that lol

QuoteConsidering how he acts through the film, it's amazing he gets out of the lake without drowning.

:D

Now I can't get the image out of my head of a different AVPR. Where Wolf drowns in the lake and the rest of the movie goes on pretty much the same.
