Really the most unrealistic thing about the movie Predator was not the fact that there was an alien, but that that small commando unit brought a god drat mini gun with them into the jungle

They're several decades overdue to do the big reveal where it turns out The Predators we see in those movies are an absolute joke on their homeworld and no one likes/respects them, precisely because they do the hunting equivalent of fishing with dynamite and still manage to consistently lose to any dumpy muscle box that happens to be in their way.

It's called a "minigun" because it's a small version of the even more massive original.

Comics/novels canon is that the females are larger and run everything in their empire, while they send the males off on hunts where they can't break anything important.

Edit: looking for confirmation there's a chance this is not true.

I've heard the original Predator is basically their equivalent of a dentist on a weekend hunting trip while the one from Predator 2 is a rich kid trying to show off for his Dad's buddies. Neither one was supposed to be a paragon of martial skill.

I heard something similar, it's going to be a found footage movie about Elon Musk's team of Predator lawyers hunting down forum's poster boofhead for slandering.

The Predator in 2 was the equivalent of a fat aging middle manager in throes of a mid-life crisis going on a safari. The other predators are like thank God you killed that rear end in a top hat, now we can finally go home

I disapprove of what you say, and I will defend your death because you have no right to say it!

The best predator movie is AvP 2? I think? The one where the predator and the female lead almost kiss at the end.

Also, the webcomic Alien loves Predator, which i'm not going to read because i'm sure it's aged as well as any 2011 webcomic out there gave us the best you're so white joke ever written.

The predator in predator 2 makes the predators in AvP 1 look like tactical geniuses

I think the other predators let him get killed because they didn't want to ride back with him

Seriously he's useless

skasion posted:

The predator in Predator 2 is indeed a moron. I like to think of him as the equivalent of fat middle-American dentists who go on safari and get eaten by lions; in that case, the actions of his fellow predators at the end of that movie are tantamount to your hunting buddies thinking so little of you they give the lion a medal.

I can't find it right now because I'm on the app and on mobile ( and in a relative hurry) but there was a blue stripe log about a predator on the predator ship during predator 2, pretty good as I recall if anyone wants to go looking for it. And that is the most times I've used the word predator in a sentence ever I think.

No, that's AvP 1. The PG13 one. People complained a lot about that rating, so AvP 2 went full R, and took it way too far in the other direction. We're talking a maternity ward massacre scene here.
