Wolf cleaning through the hive?

[Porkus Maximus]

The entire premise of him nuking the aliens simply to kill them (without honor) rests on the idea that predators have some sort of care that aliens may destroy humanity.

If they didn't care then they why would they go to such lengths to have a contained hunting ritual?  Why not just seed the planet with alien eggs and let nature take its course?  I think they do care about keeping us alive, even if it's only so they can kill us later.

If you're talking about the one in AvP 1...




... that was because it was in AvP 1.

Still, if we have to abide that AvP 1 somehow dictates how aliens and preds are, you have a point.

a what?

[Ballzanya]

Well common sense dictates if you're going to exterminate a species, you have to clean out their hive.  Don't agree with one Pred going it alone though.  Not unless the bugs are really few in number.

i think most of them are busy attacking the humans in the street, where the mitlitary vehicles and barricades are set up. So its not like the whole hive would be crawling with aliens.

Tossing off the wrist nuke was garbage because if he was really down there to hunt, he should have well, hunted instead of just dropping a bomb and running away on his sled. 

As someone else pointed out there is nothing honorable about it.  He's down there to rack up kills and prove his manhood, he should have gone down like the Pred in the flashback, otherwise what was the point?

Oh and yeah I misspoke about the detonation on the side of the building in P2.  I meant the initiation of the bomb, the fact that the Predator even started the countdown there was really weak.

[SiL]

Fit the bill perfectly.

Pred had been shot up something nasty, the jig was up, and he was dangling helplessly on the side of a building. He was beat, so he did what any other Predator would do; go out like a sissy and take everyone down with him.

Yeah the Predator was, by their standards, a coward in AvP....he should've stayed and fought why did he run anyway?[

[SiL]

Cos if he stayed and fought he'd have his ass handed to him.

He wasn't in a position where he'd been beaten, he simply realised the odds were stacked unfavourably against him. The ritual dictated he had to get an Alien kill and get out alive; nothing saying he couldn't blow up the pyramid.

[Snowfox]

To be fair, in the pred movies we don't ever really see a predator taking on something that it doesn't have an advantage over.

[Highland]

i think he knew the queen was unleashed also, hence the quick getaway...

[Chaotic-Strike]

Im pretty sure that in avp it basicly says at that flash back that if the aliens won the predators made sure none survived so he knew he couldnt win and thus uses the nuke

[Highland]

true, but i'm pretty sure the death star parked out front could have handled 10 aliens and a queen....

The very fact that he survives the fall and is able to battle the whole rest of the movie makes the scene even more ridiculous.  Obviously the jig wasn't up, Pussyface was just a pussy.

Your forgetting whose writeing this stuff
