Yeah, I was going to say, even the first Predator movie grants it with a sort of nobility and inner life and most definitely feelings; it laughs as it blows itself up and Arnold sheds a tear at the end over its loss.

One thing's bothering me : in the melee scenario, what would happen? Well, initially everyone would pair up with someone they think they could beat one-on-one. Knowing the qualities of each fighter as we do, who would choose who? This would have a massive impact on the result. If, say, Hulk and Hellboy duke it out from the off it clears the field for someone to have a pop at the winner (maybe even while they're fighting). Too many variables innit?

No, I mean sure, predator is a person , I won't deny that. But he's not a hero, or even a protagonist. Who killed predator's parents at a showing of Zorro? Where do we find his faithful manservant and loyal young love pump? Shit, dude, it's not even the same predator in all the movies, so you might as well say "a predator". His name isn't even capitalized, how the fuck is he supposed to beat Batman (note capitalization), or even a handicapable loser like Vader? Predator is cannon fodder, the more-or-less faceless rep of an all-too-defeatable species. It's like having "lion" in the contest, or "giant ape that isn't actually King Kong".

Hulk can not harmed. Never tires. Has no limit to his strength or power. To kill him you would need to annihilate his existence from space & time.
Think Hellboy could manage this.

any Predator or Yautja or whatever is still gonna be the 5th or 6th hottest combatant here on paper

Hulk can not harmed. Never tires. Has no limit to his strength or power. To kill him you would need to annihilate his existence from space & time. Batman is the only one capable of thinking and fighting the Hulk on level of defeating him.
See, thing is, Hulk has been around long enough for retards to have though of all kinds of retarded shit to have him do. But none of that counts. Hulk is Bruce Banner until Bruce gets angry, then he becomes this insane, basically invulnerable monster until he calms back down. That it. He can't "see enemies on the (fucking) astral plane" or think properly in Hulk form or any of that geeked-out nonsense. He just Hulks around for a while and distresses the furniture until the mood passes, and then he has a nap. Everybody knows this, and everybody is right.
So all you have to do to take out the Hulk is to talk him down and then drop a brick Dr. Banner. Half the dudes in the list could accomplish the task.

But in Predator movies(and when you're playing the AvP games), it's always a lone predator(haven't seen the latest piece of franchise shit). So it's not just _a_ predator, but The Predator. Even in the first Dark Horse AvP comic, you had the chick and a lone predator dude taking on a horde of aliens, right?
― kingfish, Saturday, 17 January 2009 00:17 (fifteen years ago) link
in the avp movie several of them came as a team, they're just a_predators, for whatever the fuck that's worth
No, I mean sure, predator is a person , I won't deny that. But he's not a hero, or even a protagonist.
well we don't make predators the protagonists of our movies cause they kill us, it's established at least by the time avp came around that the earthly hunts (the hunts for Aliens at least) are quasi-religious rites of passage for presumably young predators so yeah, they probably got all kinds of hero tales and movies and wonder years and shit on the home planet. they're from an obviously authoritarian society and when we see them onscreen (on a mission) they're obv. all about business but they are individuals capable of thought and resourcefulness and even gallows humor as kingfish pointed out, and frankly i think you need to check your racial baggage at the door, which is becoming a theme with you...
