1: In Predator, one of the creatures took out two ENTIRE SQUADS of human elite troops, not to mention the jungle scum villains... it took ARNOLD, AKA The TERMINATOR, to take him out.
2: In Alien, 1 lone worker alien silently killed an entire ship's crew, minus Ripley (AKA Zuul) who STILL failed to kill the thing, only send it hurtling through space (those who paid attention would note that Aliens can survive in a vacuum, as well as at absolute zero)
3: In Predator 2, Danny Glover BARELY defeated his opponent, and if you paid attention to the trophy wall in the ship, there was an Alien Queen Skull mounted up there.
4: In Aliens, Ripley, with the aid of SUPAR TEK, was once again ONLY able to jettison the Alien Queen into space, where, as previously noted, she could survive.
5: Alien 3, everybody, even ripley, died.
6: Alien 4 required an alien/human hybrid in order for survival.
With these facts, bear in mind also:
A: Aliens will generally decimate humans.
B: Predator's are skilled hunters of Aliens.
The question is, where do humans stand in comparison to Predators?
Since Predator's adhere to a strict code of honor, only hunting creatures that could stand up to them, the only time a human would knowingly encounter a predator is IF the predator thought the human stood a chance of defeating him. Thus when a human and a predator face off they are, though not technologicly, at least martially of similar skill levels, giving the human a relatively fair chance. Usually, however, it still requires an exceptional human to take down a predator on the hunt, thus the odds overall favor predators.
With these facts in mind, it is simple to state that Predators, who only hunt for challenge, are generally more than a match for the other two species, the question is, would they participate?
Oh, and Aliens Cosmic ninjas? PLEASE... Predator's strike and kill with stealth from the shadows (or when invisible) on a regular basis, they are the true intergalactic ninja masters!!
Quote:On a minor related tangent of some small amount of humor...
IN the Ghostbuster's cartoon series, a good and an evil Babylonian God are roaming around manhattan. Peter, Ray, Egon and Winston corner the good god in central park to explain the damage it's causing... the god turns to Ray and says:
"Are you a god?"
to which Peter, Egon, and Winston all immediately turn and say:
"RAY!!" in as much of a "don't you DARE answer that question again" tone as possible.
