Should the Predators metal have been resistant to the Aliens acid blood in AvP

[The Ultimate Predator]

True I suppose.

Comics are the first thing to come up with the whole AvP concept. 

But remember that the films came up with the Predator itself. The comics depict the Predator's "hunting ethic" in an exaggerated manner just as they depict the Aliens as even weaker and less intelligent versions of the creatures in the films.

Wasn't the whole honor concept present in the first Predator movie? The Pred didn't attack anyone unarmed, or in Arnie's case, the Pred fought him in hand-to-hand combat.

[Corporal Hicks]

It was a challenge thing. He wouldn't fight if you were unarmed because you weren't threatening. I can't remember the exact line but Dutch said something similar.

[YautjaWarrior]

I thought they were all pretty much like that; hunting's not fun without a challenge...

Yes, I suppose.

Arnie said something like:

"He didn't kill him because he wasn't armed. No sport!"

I could be wrong, but hey. 

What about Predator Helmets? Shouldn't they protect the Predators from Face Huggers and Alien jaw attacks? Acid proof as well? Not completely acid proof but give you some protection.

To me the whole honorable thing was just a given. I'd only seen the films and never read a comic til now and I deducted as much years ago just from how the Preds acted, hunted and how they prepared and relished thier trophies. I didn't know it was such a debated point. 

[G.C. Samaras]

If it's "survival of the fittest", why would it be unfair?

Becuase Predators claim to fight with "honour". Honour isn't owning your opponents with little effort. Like I said, it is like using an Autosniper in Counterstrike.

Even if they predators metal was resistant, it would still make killing the Alien an honorable kill. Especially if the Pred was without a plasma cannon.

That's like killing a human with a spacesuit on, its cheap. A human can't really hurt you and you're probably wielding an AK-47 so it would be a cheap kill.

If the predators metal would have been resistant the aliens acid blood then it would have easily been an unfair fight. The grid alien would have been caught in  the net and would have been killed.

[The Ultimate Predator]

I don't mind the alien broke out the net, but I find it stupid that the predator was subsequently killed.

I was dissapointed when the alien killed the celtic pred after breaking out of the net,cos that meant there was only one more pred left in the hunt.

[The Ultimate Predator]

Yep, was stupid.

[topman]

who created the predator first? did the comics come first or the movie version?

[The Ultimate Predator]

Movie, lol. Comics created the AvP concept though.
