He got beat fair and square but couldn’t handle it so he used his self destruct like a bitch. Aren’t these guys supposed to be all about honor and the sport of it? Take your L dude.

Its to prevent them from being captured and their tech from falling into the hands of an enemy. The City Hunter tried to do the same in Predator 2 until Danny Glover stopped him.

This. It also happened in AVP and AVP 2. Up until the most recent films the defeated Predator always set off a nuke to ensure that nothing was captured/ensured that there was no 'winner.'

In Predators there was no nuke but the Predator did destroy his own ship to avoid a similar fate.

I have to agree. I always thought that was super petty.

Most other predators were pretty straight up about their job but super predator in the last one was a huge a-hole as well.

AVP wasn’t awful. It’s mid-2000s cheese but I could watch it again.

AVP:Requiem was brutally bad.

I always thought it was kinda punkish, but more of a “soldiers with a cyanide pill in case of capture” kind of thing, so I was cool with it.

Also, AVP is kinda awesome. AVP: Requiem is atrocious garbage.

The Predator did suck as well. Predators was okay, but Adrien Brody as some super badass is so hilarious that it distracts from the movie IMO.

Predator 2 is awesome.

Yeah Brody trying to do his best Christian Bale Batman voice to seem like a hardass was a weird choice but a fine movie if you knew what you were getting walking into the theater.

I honestly didn’t think The Predator was that bad but did leave a lot to be desired.

I think the list easily goes;

Predator
Predator 2

Predators

AVP/The Predator (maybe I should watch it again)


AVP2

Death before dishonor mindset. AVP2 shows what happens when they deviate, like the one in AVP1 did.

I enjoyed it but I do feel like they went a bit overboard with the humor in spots. I also would have liked to see more hunting scenes and not just all action.

AVP should have been a hard R horror movie. Instead it was just a generic monster flick, not bad but very disappointing. Requiem was terrible.

Agreed

so when a navy scuttles a ship/sub to keep weapons and tech out of an enemy's hands, they're a punk?

The Predator group gave Harrigan a trophy of sorts for his kill, but they still made sure the Predator ship and tech didn't get seized by making it launch.

Flintlock pistol to show the audience that the Predators have been hunting on earth for centuries.
