That is not saying much considering that they were teens and poorly armed. That being said they at least didn't allow an infestation to get out of control like Wolf did. The humans taking the plasma casters were an unforseen event, while Wolf's mission was to make sure the Aliens didn't spread and to cover it up and he failed big time.

Also the Aliens in the first film were more competent that the things in the second movie.

He would clean the floor with those 3 Preds from the first movie.

Indeed!

Corporal Hicks



Would he though? I see him going down like Chopper did.

Puh-lease. These AvP Predators fight like amateurs, standing in place, swinging wildly.



Wolf has more Xeno kills than they can count!  Wolf would school them!  8)

Yeah, but the AvP Predators went against Aliens that actually fought back, which is totally unfair.

With fighters like the Predators in AvP, even we could look good against them. 8)

Wolf has his "Gary Stu" moments (male equivalent of Mary Sue) time to time though. The Aliens from Requiem aren't exactly the fierce and cunning fighter that was Grid in AVP.



Which is a shame since they were supposed to be warrior xenomorphs and not drones.  :P

Yeah I actually enjoyed seeing Aliens be so deadly in the first AvP, illustrates why they are the most dangerous prey. Still shouldn't have killed two in one sitting.

It's all relative to the staging of the fight choreography, right?

But all things being equal, these AvP Preds are presented as Padawans and Wolf is presented as a Jedi Master.

with this analogy, would ahab also fall into the role of jedi master?

A Jedi master playing a game on the easier difficulty. I'd say it was a tutorial to train for the final boss fight. That was actually his real first fight.  :laugh:

Or maybe Wolf is an almost Jedi Master against Xeno-padawans?  :-X





Until he faces the true Master.  ;D

Anyone who wants to adapt the AVP concept to the big screen should take note of that. If the Aliens are extremely deadly, the Predator that defeats them seems more powerful in a credible way. The two creatures must be treated with respect.

Wolf couldn't even look good against the Aliens in AvPR. 8)
