They’re definitely different Predators if that’s what you mean. I think we’re supposed to infer some sort of distributed database: the 1987 Predator was live-streaming on Twitch, and the juvenile 1990 Predator was like an OnlyFans subscriber who copied his catchphrases.

It's almost 4:30m, I'm not feeling well and am in the shower trying to feel better with some hot water on my head. I've got candles lit because normal light is hurting my eyes. The only thing getting me through it is thinking about Aliens (the movie), but I doubt that Aliens (the movie) is thinking about me

Predators chat with each other on their wrist computers.  "Bruh this rear end in a top hat dropped a log on my head and I think I'm dying." " Activate your self destruct & yeet his rear end.""This twerp is saying something too. Lemee put it on speaker…"

I took it this way too. Like from the Predators' standpoint they just have this catalogue of duck calls they're constantly logging with their ship.

I bought one just to stash in the closet and forget about it until I die and my kids donate it to Goodwill.

If they were smart they'd offer a bulk discount, like have a bunch of friends go in to order a dozen, etc.

I have nerf battles with my roommate all the time, she gets mad at me because I'm a good shot with the dinky rear end pistol. Also my cat likes to chase nerf darts, I wish she would bring them back.

The commission of Child of Busey is the highest title of honor bestowed by Gary Busey. It is recognition of an individual’s noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to our community, state, and nation. The Honorable Order of Children of Busey is a voluntary philanthropic organization. A sitting Busey governor noted in a letter to the Children of Busey that he commissioned individuals as Children of Busey “as a Governor’s way of recognizing individuals for their service and accomplishments on behalf of others.” If you’re a commissioned Child of Busey, you are a Child of Busey for life. We now encourage you to activate your membership in the Children of Busey by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Good Works Program. Chilren of Busey may be entitled to discounted goods and services at some establishments. Children of Busey are unwavering in devotion to faith, family, commonwealth, and country. Passionate about being compassionate. Proud leaders who are gentle but strong in will and commitment. The generosity of our members enables the Children of Busey – as a recognized 501 (c) (3) tax exempt nonprofit organization – to reach out and care for our children, support those in need, and preserve our rich heritage. Then there are the social activities in which our history is indeed rich! From the Derby Eve galas of the 1930s to our trackside participation and post Derby Barbeques, and fall race days at historic Churchill Downs, the member Children have historically found many ways to celebrate the Children of Busey.

This reminds me of a little theory of mine that I've had for a while, that the predator in 2 was a youngblood and the LA hunt was his initation hunt. He's sloppy, predictable, loses equipment left and right, and a child gets the drop on him in broad daylight for crying out loud. As for the motherfucker line, I figured it was spending too much time in LA and learning the language (or maybe he thought it was a greeting).

So we know there are Alien Queens. Who are the kings? Similar to ants where they die post nuptial flight? Or more like those deep sea fish where the male attaches to the female and atrophies to just testicles joined to her bloodstream?

Anyway his King is the result of experiments and such, but they name is as a King:  and it looks like there's some  action figure/diorama thing they made of it: The whole deal is that the tinpot dictator is trying to make some even more perfect Xeno he can control? Again pretty old hat:  The gimmick of course is that this Alien "King" is all aggro all the time:   Fast-Forward and he goes to fight the Queen on this rock:  buuuut he loses and the little dictator goes wacky and then blows it all up while the main characters escape on a ship. The End:   It's pretty base and vanilla, but honestly I like it way more than Alien 3, Alien: Resurrection, either AvP, The Predator, Prometheus/Covenant, or Gibson's Alien 3. Sometimes a pan-fried burger is just better than trying to advertise some gourmet or gimmick patty. 7.7/10 Cabbages. Tangentially, I found a magical terrible 90s ad in the book:

Or more like those deep sea fish where the male attaches to the female and atrophies to just testicles joined to her bloodstream? I've thought about this way too much and I'd assume they don't need them. A queen ant's need to mate is driven by the need to maintain diversity in the lineage and foster a population that's more robust and adaptable to the environment in the long term, but what about an organism that borrows genetic diversity whole cloth from their hosts? A queen xeno would be born from a host which was already adapted to the host's particular environmental pressures, and each drone would inherit a modicum of that same necessary diversity from an established pool of individual hosts. Genetic diversity would be built into the colony by default because of their reliance on a provably successful population of genetically diverse hosts, which removes the need for seeking mating/diversification and relieves the evolutionary pressures on the xenos, resulting in them being immediately more efficient and adapted to their environment than any native host could ever be without taking the time to evolve. Xenos would get to jump the line and 'steal' adaptations that took eons to evolve. Who needs to mate when the gestation process of a queen provides the same benefit as mating does, but without all the waiting and inefficiencies of trial and error? Asexual front-loaded reproduction FTW. The queen's not even 'female', because such a role is unnecessary-- they're just the one that poops out eggs and then the host provides the genetic diversification regardless of their physical sex.
