Avp: Who would win?

talk random
1

I was just over at the site for the new Aliens vs. Predator movie, the sites pretty slow, too much video etc. but thats not what I’m here to talk about. On the site they had a poll, currently the majority reckons the Predators would win, but I’m not convinced.

I’d have to go with the Aliens, but that’s cause I liked those movies better (well the first three anyway)

[size=3]So who *would *win eh?[/size]

If you could throw in a scientific argument or two, that would be great!

2

movie comes out tomorrow, so I thought I would warm things up with some good ol’ fashion arguement

Alien or Predator?

3

All I can say is the game was one of the scariest games I’ve ever played.

4

Go!! Alien!!

5

Predator looks cooler.

6

predator - just awesome - the alien movies never really showed too much action with them, just crawling, swimming, and biting - predator on the other hand - woo… boy can whup up on some people.

7

was it any good?
i’ve heard two different opinions

oh and i have to say Predator because of Ahhnold…hehe lmao

8

Alien can reproduce, and also took over a whole planet… And three movies?? You tell me:)

9

so the Predator species, whatever it is, can’t?
cause i believe in the previews there are quite a few Predator
and they have that huge blue explosion, which reminds me of Star Wars Episode II’s seismic charges from Jengo’s ship…

10

I thought it was scarier than Doom 3, second opinion?

11

AVP…One of the best games ever made. As far as the movie debate, I excel at this movie in particular. As a note, I might spill a spoiler or two(nothing major, just backstory you find out early in the movie, or so i’ve read), so I’ll make it when i’m about to.

Aliens: The best representation of a hostile extraterrestial of all time.

Yes, Aliens can reproduce, and yes, they took over an entire planet. Problem is, that was against us Humans, which sadly to say, are wayyyy to easy to conquer. Preds area another matter. Aliens can, in fact, see through Pred camo, only because the Pred cloaking renders them invisible to the naked eye, not to infra-red, which the Aliens have a hint of in their sight.

Alien -
PROS
-Acidy Spit works only if a Pred has no armor on, but still a great weapon.
-Incredible gestation period (a few minutes and pop!)
-Lightning fast speed and agility, and insane strength.
CONS
-Take over the queen, take over the Alien’s reproductive edge.
-Simple firearms can take one out, but running the risk of splatter damage by Acidy Spit.

Predators(Preds): My favorite by far. Awesome camo, incredible weaponry, and outstanding body armor that negates the Alien’s Acidy Spit.

CAUTION
POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!!READ ON AT OWN RISK!!!
END CAUTION

Right you are. This is the deal: You know those old Mayan and Incan temples? Well, according to AVP, those tribes built those as a sign of worship towards the Preds. Ya know what the Preds did? They planted Alien eggs in the complexes, and used them as Training/Rite of Passge Grounds. Every 1000 years, the Pred Mothership would drop off a few of its kind (Kinda like Pred Teenagers) at these sights, and when the ship came back, if those Preds were still alive, they would be considered full-fledged warriors/big-game hunters.

Pred -
PROS
-High-Tech advantage over spit and claws.
-Camo is a nice plus
-Having done this for 1000s of years, you’d think they’d be good at killing Aliens by now.

CONS
-Camo is useless against Aliens
-Odds are greatly stacked against them. Around 27198579327497492794327427347947947214743 Aliens to 1 Pred (Not actual Odds).

So, in the end, I’d have to say that Preds are gonna show up, kick the Alien’s ***, and walk home with a few Alien skulls to show for their hardwork.

Is anyone else hungry after reading that?

Fox just aired a Making of AVP on at 8:00 (EST), which basically backs up what Ectheo says…

!!!spoiling!!!

Predators came to Earth, and the ancient people worshiped them as gods. A satellite discovers the temple (in Antarctica) so a group of people show up in there to check it out…

14

WHAT???grrrrrr…I wanted to see that too…drat…Oh well

15

well, knowing fox, they dont have too much good stuff on now, so im sure it will air again…or just go watch the real movie in a few hoursor wait till AVP comes out on dvd and look at the special features…lol

16

what was aired was basically what i said, plus some cool footage, and the models they use, like an actual size Alien that is hydrolically (spelling?) operated…pretty cool
plus some great commentary by the directors

my excitement went from
