Please start thinking. Honestly.
Can you start thinking as well? Because you followed up that statement with nothing but rubbish.
QuoteThe Predator, as a character, is a human with a weird face. That's it. They're people that look different, and they have better technology, but as far as personality and complexity goes, they're us, but with a different head. That's what I'm saying. That's what I've been saying. That's all I've ever said on the matter.
The Predator as a
character, is a psychopath with a weird face. Psychopaths are only recognizably human physically. Mentally it's a whole different ball park. Everything that makes up a human inside is pretty much gone when it comes to extreme cases, they lack any of the morals, ethics or understanding that make us who we are. If an average joe was given incredible technology and was put in a city of an Alien world, I doubt he'd go around brutally and ritualistically killing people. A psychopath probably would.
Saying as "as far as complexity goes, they're us, but with a different head", is complete drivel. They're like the complete opposite of what we would be like if we had that level of technology. We wouldn't hunt other intelligent races for fun, the morals and ethics of our society wouldn't really allow for that. If we killed them It'd have some purpose, probably for resources, like real war today.

I was never talking about the design itself. That really, really should have been obvious.
Hell, I would've thought it would've been really, really obvious that when something kills extremely intelligent life forms for nothing more than sadistic pleasure, it would be nothing like a Human. At least a normal one. Guess not.
