Yeah the Predators kinda get done dirty in this movie. Story wise: they’re undergoing a rite of passage, so they’re not the most skilled. But the main Predator Scar is still one of the best. Predator 2 establishes that Predators will have respect for an opponent that can beat one of their own^. It’s also slightly established with the first movie, with the Jungle Hunter recognizing Arnold as a worthy opponent so he gets rid of most of his weapons to face him hand to hand ^unless their just beasts like xenomorphs. Xenomorphs _need_ to be eradicated above all else, which is why an alliance is made. The result of the facehugger getting on Scar is paid off at the very end. A hybrid pops out of his chest in the ship. I like this movie fine. It’s not high on most peoples lists. For big fans of both franchises especially because some things clash with what came before. Predator: •They go where there’s heat, not cold •2/3 get taken out by a single alien and only 1 of those 2 managed to fight it •They’re strong but they’re more lean, and these look like bulky body builders Alien: •They grow too fast •One of the major goals of the Alien movies (set in the future) is to make sure these things never get to Earth. Here, in the past, we see they’ve been here the whole time! So all that effort felt pointless! There’s probably a couple other things I’m forgetting, but those are probably the most common complaints. Most tend to prefer any other AVP materials, mainly comics (especially the originals from 1990) and video games Pro tip if you’re gonna watch the second movie: MAX OUT YOUR BRIGHTNESS. It is so dark for no reason, sometimes you can’t even tell what you’re seeing
Oh yeah I'm so slow. I watched the closing scene and completely forgot that it was associated with the facehugger. (I'm just learning their names lol.) The predators for sure get done super dirty in this movie. The action in this movie was just so good and thats why I rate it so much. But when I watch the other ones my opinion can change. I was supposed to watch the other 2 first because it makes the most sense but I've been so busy and was too eager to watch this one. I appreciate all the other info too. I'll take it in when watching the other ones!
