Why fight?

[Vargaresa]

@FairYautja

Or do you think humans are inferior to fish?

Depends on the goal. If the goal is to swim 20 km without resurfacing, then yes, Humans are inferior to fish.

If the Goal is to survive a hunt against an alien and my culture enables me to easily team up with other humans to have better chances of survival, then I see this as an advantage over some species that feel being bound towards certain codes of honour.
Adaptability is what made us Humans the dominant Species here on Earth, nothing else, and if Predators are not able to adapt to new Situations as fast as their Human “Prey”, then I see them being inferior.

@FairYautja

These days we humans hunt dears more for sport than food.

I grew up hunting and fishing for food and environmental adjustment purposes, maybe you live in another country where this is not the case anymore, but hunting(and fishing) animals for food is still a big part in many people’s lives, even today.
But seeing your PETA link where the intellectual capacity of pigs and dogs are used for propaganda purposes makes me think it is pointless to debate about that topic.

@FairYautja

Have you ever heard about Deer hunting? If humans were so advanced like you say, why do they need stuff like rifles and shotguns against those inferior deers?

Because we can’t catch a deer in a sprint and punch it to death whereas Preds are superior to humans in every way.

Traps and dogs are just expensive toys to watch people get mauled really.

[FairYautja]

Finally we got the point… So you think that humans are superior to predators in adaptation/cooperation? That may be true… it is like compare lions and humans. Humans are inferior species to lions in strength, lions are inferior species in inteligence to humans. In my opinion predators are superior to humans in more ways than humans are superior to predators.

I used first link which appeared on Google search. I assure you, that I enjoy fish, pork, beef, boar, chicken meat and I don’t have anything against killing animals for food. My point was that we humans kill animals for sport too and we are not picky about animal inteligence when it come to food purposes.

[BadBlood]

They fight because the game/movies need to happen

@Slut_Master_X

I have no respect for a race that literally kills themselves when they’re losing

Rip samurai.

@Slut_Master_X

In reality, predators would be fucked if they tried us… you dont actually have to beat them, just make them think they might not win and bam

Easier said than done. Not to mention we’ve only seen two preds self destruct before. I don’t think that’s a good sample especially when only one of them set up a pre-mature explosion.

@Slut_Master_X

For a supposedly superior race, theyre pretty insecure lol

It’s about protecting they’re technology.

@Finessology

Atleast when we shoot deer its because we cant actually catch them on foot and physically beatdown a deer.

Even if we could we wouldn’t. No one would.

@Finessology

We shoot lions from moving vehicles because we literally stand no chance vs the lion

Or it’s because we prefer guns.

@Finessology

Its about the hunt until they start losing which defeats the whole “I want a worthy challenge” angle

The explosion is to prevent they’re technology being lost to other species.

@Finessology

Otherwise they’d mass produce predaliens

Predators view Predaliens as abominations.

Not to mention they move from weak prey to stronger prey ad they get older and stronger.

@Finessology

instead of being pussyfaces blowing peoples limbs off.

Don’t get shot. Even if we ignored the honorable hunters angle and say they’re honorable warriors. Am I suddenly dishonorable for going for the hand in a duel?

@Finessology

they’ll just put everyone in zoos and throw anyone remotely capable onto a safari as fodder.

Sounds familiar.

@Vargaresa

Most Yautjas hunting on Earth have been killed afaik.
So who do you think is inferior here?

Reason for that is Hollywood.

@Vargaresa

If they were so advanced like you all say, why do they need stuff like cloaking devices and shoulder cannons against those inferior humans

Even body builders will die to a headshot.

That’s like saying because we’re more advanced than lions we should be able to take one on that’s also wearing full armor with fake claws equiped with our bare hands.

@Vargaresa

the Humans always proved to be more clever in the end.

Hollywood proves humans are equipped with the latest plot armor.

[Finessology]

@Eshtion

Predators view Predaliens as abominations.

Cuz theyre sore losers. That’s literally as strong as it gets but they get salty because it reminds them they’re capable of failure.

[Eshtion]

Who isn’t

[BadBlood]

Losing is tight!!

[Finessology]

@Eshtion

Even if we could we wouldn’t. No one would.

No one would buy ammo and guns for sport hunting if we could just walk outside and leap 20 feet onto a deers back and kill it lol. Or had the speed to easily catch fish with our bare hands.

Preds boobytrap a toddler playpen and then throw them around in fistfights and shoot them in the back just because. A human isnt any kind of physical threat to a predator but one guys failed trap going off late makes us the most clever species in the galaxy? We get lucky and knock the space bully’s glasses off and beat him with his own stick while hes blinded and that makes us worthy prey because the bully was fucking around and found out?

Preds r dum dum

[Arnie.schwarzewigger]

I always wondered , they clearly didn’t think highly of the predalien but then wolf de-masked for a fair fight . Pfffft , everyone knows you work a lions body in a fight to win

[Finessology]

And Wolf got his shit rocked and all his weapons eventually disarmed. He had nothing left at that point, whip got outplayed & disarmed and Wolf dropped his pistol for the humies like a failure.

The better question is why the predalien just stood there and watched him striptease other than the movie being terrible. Maybe predaliens are truly the most honorable species in the galaxy. They should go fuck with them instead of streetcops.

Enforcers and Badbloods might be assholes hunting their fellow hunters but atleast they’re not terrified of losing to inferior races & fight in their weight class lol

[Durbs2001]

This is actually a thread?
It’s a fictional character they fight humans because the script and the story demand so
You think they gonna make money off predators going to court and making a truce with the humans

[Scarface_1983]

@Durbs2001

This is a actually thread?

…and everyone seems to be in character going along with it.

Fucking nerds!

[Anyt1m3]

Some humans hunt for ‘sport’; they have trophies too. Food is just a consolation prize. You can buy food in a grocery store

[Anyt1m3]

Are you saying that we should anounce to fish or dear that we are the to kill them? We use tricks (worm) and shoot them in the back (rifle shots) too

[Finessology]

More like if we were physically superior to such a degree fishing rods would be pointless.
No one would fish if everyone was a genetically engineered apex predator and could just stick their hand in the water and casually grab the fish faster than it can even react.

The fish pose zero threat to us but they’re still faster and we are slow so we have to use tricks to catch them efficently because we suck.
A predator bear trapping people is just for laughs considering they can just jump down and tear the guys head off his shoulders.

[Anyt1m3]

I wouldn’t say it’s for laughs. Direct approach is not always the best solution. Plus, he finds out some intel about how good people are at finding traps and how they react and learn. Is good to immobile play and diatract. He’s facing many prey that can fight back and adapt.

[Finessology]

@Anyt1m3

He’s facing many prey that can fight back and adapt

That’s what the autoaim shoulder mounted canon is for though

[Anyt1m3]

Guns blazing is always an option so why not try a more stealthy/tricky apprach first?

He’s in the position to make the rules of the game, while the humans are so week that all they can do is cririsize. I bet engaging the pred in a philosophical argument crossed Dutch’s mind a few times ‘if only we could argue about use of advanced tech in a hunt then I’d show him who is the bahs’

[SkooLBoY_SkePtiK]

Good replies. I’m with you on a lot of this. In the grand scheme, they are fictional movie monsters, so not everything will make sense. They hunt for status, they follow their honor code, and they destroy themselves if captured. It’s not that difficult to understand.
