Predators because they have thier honor and religon thing, motivation to be the ultimate killers. While the Aliens are just like mad dogs, running around with no purpose. Predators are hunters, Aliens are just prey.

So this is what it's come to. How the mighty have fallen.

Breeding and survival are not purposes?

Purpose of a killing machine, that shows no emotions cannot be known. Also their purpose. It doesn't seem like that, but they are maybe more intelligent than preds, and realize they need no weapons to defeat any civilization on any planet, because they will spawn so many of their kind so they will rip a new a hole for any living creature...


Preds and wut religion???? And really, preds are much more mad dog s running around then aliens. Preds seemingly give a f**k about anything, but hunting and improving themselves. They kill the guy with the greatest balls to improve themselves. No matter they look for the strongest prey, it serves their own advantage (even if it's organized to society, it's tribal, primitive). In this matter aliens are much more advanced, and way moore civilized than predators.

You are right, but I must say that Aliens are not more "civillised" than Predators, yes they don't need technology, it's like saying ants are more civillised than humans, I know Xenomorphs are an alien creature but still.

Aliens are more advanced biologcially than Predators, but not technologically, which is why they are kept as captives by both humans and Predators (only to escape and face bang everything  :P)

Ummm...what? Aliens certainly do have purpose.

And they are not prey, they are nightmares.

To borrow someone's quite apt phrase, they are eldritch abominations from beyond the stars.

Technologically Preds are more advanced indeed. Seemingly what they use it for? Chasing hard targets, going after myths, danger, even if it can mean risking their lives. And they have technology to create energy based weaponry, yet they are running around in body mesh and use spear, or other types of blades. They can be intelligent, they can be advanced yea, but for what purpose? They are cavemen from space, really.

Aliens on the other hand can organize whole groups in order to follow one single mission, and can even sacrifice themselves to achieve one goal (see aliens, a:r). Also their level of intellect cannot be known. On this ground, I see them much more civilized than preds.

And it's not a bad thing. The savagery and tribal brutality of the predator creature is something that makes it even more interesting (connected to their level of technology) in my eyes.

What, Ripley got a semi-peck in Alien 3. Didn't hurt her much.

Utmost aggression against another race cannot be necessarily considered as a lack of civilized inner qualities. On the other hand preds simply kill their own kind, and use what, sticks and nets. In some way they far less civilized than aliens.
