    If the aliens are perfection, how come predators hunt them for sport, and remember predators can be defeated one on one by humans!

    Because they are seen as the ultimate challenge and the Predators have the most advanced weaponry ever, not a chainsaw tied to their arm with sticky back plastic. Without the weapons, an Alien is more than a match for a Predator as shown by the vote. Also, Arny (who should have been in this btw) is far more than your average man.

    BTW, feels really satisfying sparking a revival.

    If you knew ANYTHING about pred culture you would not have to have that explained to you.

    The pred killed by Glover was on a questing mission to prove himself and failed.
    The pred had already killed "hard meat" so to become an adult but had to prove it'self as being warrior fit to run a group and so was send on a "soft meat" hunt.

    The pred failed.
    In predator culture "soft meat" humans are considered to be more dangerous then "hard meat" the Aliens.

    Humans are more dangerous because we use technology like the predators do. The aliens have developed biological means,for war,communication and spreading through the universe. Now stfu :D

    Yeah Aliens are sooo "advanced" that the Predator Nation keeps them as pets for thier rituals, dangerous pets but most of the time the are seeded by the Predators for ritual hunts and the movies Aliens was were they were seeded on what was ment to be a barren planet for a hunt.

    Uh huh she is only allowed to exist by the preds due to tradition so that their younglings can undergo the rites of passage. Indeed it has been suggested that the alien 'race' was tampered with by the preds to make them more intresting to hunt.

    Hannibal lector definitely, but this is gonna be soooo close i reckon :).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,045 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Norman Bates (Psycho)
    Oh please Frankenstein one one of the orginal emos, really Mary Shelley just needed to get over the fact Bryon was more intrested in shagging her bother then her.

    There are too many variations of Ripley to make it is a simple call.

    So it has to be Hannibal Lector.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,871 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


    Norman Bates (Psycho)
    I dunno... I think ripley is a survivor. She is chimerical, adapting to circumstance.
    I can't see lecter or the monster presenting more of a threat than the aliens to her.

    Gotta go with Ripley on the basis that she's beaten tougher before and in the 1 in 4 chance it's ressurected Ripley it's not even a contest

    I think Ripley'd be the best in a fight, but I think Lecter'd deceive her. So he gets my vote.

    I won't say. It could be Alien V Predator, it could be the T-800 V Sarah Connor or even Carrie V Damien (that would be some battle).
