Alien or Predator? and Why?



I originaly liked Alien for a silly reason...I had an action figurine that spat water when I was a kid.

Now I like Predator because his dreads are rockin' :P

I'd have to say Predator, they seem pretty badass with there weapons and self destruct.

Aliens seem to be mindless monsters who just kill.

And the first Predator movie kicked *** so... and Arnold was in it!

Well if you've seen the later aliens movies (or read the AVP comics), you'll see that they aren't mindless. They do reason. But even so, the predators just have too much cool **** going for them. Number one being that reflective camoflouge thing.


Only problem is they keep coming to earth and getting ****** up. They need to stop sending the second team here.

Sigourney in white underwear or Sigourney in grey underwear?

I actually went for the grey more.

Personally, I feel the Alien has more class, substance, and style.

The Predator, while "cool" in that "Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Movie Villain" kind of way, still comes off as little more than an "Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Movie Villain"

    What amazes me is how s4!tty the publics taste in movies is. This movie was horrible. Let's examine why:

    1.) All other previous Predator and Alien and movies were "R", this one was "PG-13."
    2.) No large epic battle between an army of Aliens Vs and army of predators - less than 10 of each against each other.
    3.) Wasn't even reviewed by many major media outlets, because they weren't given an advanced screening. This usually means it's pretty bad. Those that did review it gave it no more than 2/4 stars. Rottentomatoes gave it 15% - OUCH!

    Despite all of this, it still opened @ no. 1 in the box office last weekend with 38 million. But then again, it didn't have much competition - YuGiOh! and Princess Diaries 2 were the only new movie competition. It'll tank the 2nd week just like Village did.

    I hope you didnt interpret this thread as a "this movie rocked" thread. I didnt mention that, I was just curious to see why people liked who they liked :P

    If I miss-interpreted your post, please ignore me!

    Thx!

    thats a really tough question.

    Aliens are not, and i repeat NOT mindless killers. They're methodical, hive minded creatures which serve as an extension of their queen. They're scary fast, and can do amazing amounts of damage with thier claws, and tail.

    Predators on the other hand, are honor based hunters with huge amounts of technology at their disposal, as well as uber fighting skills.

    I think ultimately it would come down to a draw unless the predator killed the queen.

    Alien doesn't need technology to be great, that makes them better. If Arnold can handle Predator, I think Alien can.

    Puh-lease. The Aliens can and do kick everybody's a$$es. It's only through luck that humanity survives their continued attempts to turn them into biological war machines.

    As for the Predators, cover yourself in mud and voila! You're invisible to them! Their only advantage is the mini-nukes they carry around on their forearms.

    Aliens: Speed, Agility, Shark-Like Instincts, and Acid Blood
    Predators: Thermal Vision, Cloaking, Energy Cannon

    I'll go with Aliens on this one.

    I'll got with Aliens. I wouldn't mind having one for a pet. Of course, he'd have to stay outside; I have carpet.

    He only fought 1 Predator though. If it was that same commando team/whatever it was (been a while since I watched that movie) against a single Alien, they probably wouldn't have lost half as much as they did against the Predator

    Predator all the way! Come on, the thing can go invisible mode, if I was a predator, I'd let all the other ones fight it out while I would be sneaking into all the girls showers at all the collleges.

    If the game is based off of proven data then the Predator's ability to cloak would be pointless when used against an Alien. In the AvP games Aliens can "sense phermones" or something like that. In other words they can "see" any living thing, cloaked or not.

    ALIENS they got a breeding machine wich is constantly spiting out new drones to enrich their army

    wouldnt the perfect hunter just lead to self destruction? they basicly kill everythingwich comes in their path so the natural eco system gets unbalanced and in 2 years all that are left are aliens on land in the seas and who knows in a movie or 2 even in the air so will they resort to canibalizm?

    I prefer Predators myself, they just seem so cool to me.
    Although the Aliens do kick *** with the whole acid/claw thing. But the Predators clinch it with the thermo-vision and the cloaking. And the laser things are just cool.

    Picard. No question about it. The bald man is a better actor than Kirk. And he rules that bridge with kickass authority.

    Now that's not fair. One of the Aliens' advantage are the shear numbers they come in. That's like saying that if Predator had no weapons, they wouldn't have lost as much.

    I'll agree with that assessment. But there is something to be said for Kirk getting all the ***. And let's face it, if it came down to a brawl, Kirk would win hands down. Picard is all talk, no game.

    That being said, I fell asleep during the first Alien movie. The others didn't impress me much, Predator would win hands down.
