I get blanking everything unimportant to get the point across, but I do wonder what the rest of the text said…
The Predator was after a worthy opponent. Something to give a challenge. The IDF are just bullies with guns. Think ICE but with different brown people.
I watched the animated Predator movie the other day, and was miffed that
Tap for spoiler
they would kidnap people who won against their hunters, freeze them for who knows how many years (thereby effectively ending their lives as they know it) and bring them across the galaxy to fight for their lives again. Respect that the winner won you sore losers. Absolutely no honor.
No honor? The Yatuja believe that the only honor that matters is in your hunting prowess, literally every Yatuja has never lost a fight because they always fight to the death. They absolutely think it’s an honor to be brought to Yautja Prime to fight against their leader, which is why they do that instead of just killing the people who beat a Predator. That’s a huge sign of respect from them
I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.
The Yautja have no concept of “loved ones”. It is specifically brought up that Dek’s older brother is a failure because he is protecting his weaker brother instead of culling him for the strength of the clan. You’re using human emotional logic to justify your opinions instead of following Predator logic. The vast majority of Yautja would be champing at the bit to fight to prove they can beat the warlord. I still contend these humans have been given an incredible honor in Yautja society
If the Predators thought it was an honor, why kidnap them? Surely they would come willingly?
Why would you care about a lesser species’ opinion? Why would you hold them to a lower standard than you hold yourself?
Well you just brought up they do have familial feelings. They just choose to be a culture centered around pointless murder around the galaxy.
Of course they do. The first movie shows they are honorable killers / hunters. Afaik, this has always been part of their lore.
this isnt even a shitpost, its just a good post.
I mean Predator seems kinda woke with that rainbow view, so it only makes sense.
That’s not a shitty movie detail, that’s a depressingly accurate observation.
One thing the Predator movies always did well was giving the creature its own strange code of honor. Moments like that made it feel less like a mindless monster and more like a hunter with rules.
Predator is a hunter so his threat assessment is superior to trigger happy freikorp LARP.
Oh, I’m gonna carry that weight.
Better than cops too.
IDF are low bar or A.K.A. no-bar.
Make sure to turn on rebar.
Tbf it recognises the gun as a toy.
Some people call me Maurice
