New AVP theory

[Tichinde]

So I was reading through Prey and came across this interesting little tidbit. Several times throughout the story Dachande says that the Yautja's blood actively counteracts the acid of the xenomorphs. A very specific nullification wouldn't you agree

Now obviously during the 90s when this book was written, nobody actually knew about prometheus. But with Prometheus and the lore changed now, what if the Engineers directly designed predators to fight xenomorphs or police them so to speak. Figured I'd start this conversation.

Various comics and novels show them melting under acid just fine though.

[SM]

Was Wolf supposed to have copped some acid in the face, hence the scarring?

[SiL]

Yes indeed.

[Tichinde]

Well obviously they still get burns from it but not as severe as humans. They don't melt and the blood supposedly neutralizes it partially, dachande even spits some blood on an alien finger before marking noguchi

[SM]

Human flesh neutralises acid blood to an extent anyway.

[SiL]

Not in the comic he don't.

Nor does Scar in AvP.

This note is the basis for Predator's campaign in AvP2010.

David created the Predators using the raw materials on the Covenant to fight the Aliens, then sent them back in time to fight Arnold.

[SiL]

Also going by Covenant Aliens didn't exist until the 22nd century - and weren't created by Engineers - so it would've taken some fantastic foresight so develop Predators to deal with a nonexistent threat.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Skynet can see to it.

You all know that aliens have existed since Egypt from AVP. Whether you like it or not 😌

[SiL]

We never see Egypt in AvP.

If you're going to add in the Alien prequels then you have to accept what the Alien prequels show. Otherwise the entire question of what Engineers may have done is irrelevant.

At least Egypt. Since Predators are the ones who helped us create pyramids and hunted them during that time. Besides since all of it is canon anyway we have to reconcile. So David found a blueprint for the Alien and made it again in covenant. But this is all so distracting from my true point that Predators are biologically disposed to being less vulnerable to the aliens than humans which must be a byproduct of thier creators aka the engineers. Ergo we have to ascertain whether this was on purpose in universe.

You could make an argument that the Predator flesh and blood can naturally resist acid; but once you include Engineers everything falls down.
