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.
IDF hates kids, think opposite of Epstein circle. Predator is impartial towards kids.
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
They have more sense than your average American cop, too.
Not to ruin the shitpost, but Predator didn’t attack the child only because it posed no challenge.
Yes, that’s the point. The predator won’t attack a human child because they are incapable of defending themselves. The IDF doesn’t care about that.
The alien sport-hunter who kills people to collect their bones as trophies is not a role model!
This is why I’m team xenomorph. No agenda, no philosophy, no sermons. Just equal opportunity face-hugging and chest-bursting.
As someone really big into sportsmanship, no. They really are good role models. They have impeccable sportsmanship.
TBF they hopelessly outclass a lot of their opponents. 300lb super-strong trained alien fighter with thermal vision and crazy weapons hunting some dude with a rifle if you think of the OG Predator. Their victims probably didn’t even know what they were fighting. Not really that great.
But they’re not teabagging the low level humans and saying GGEZ after taking their skulls and spinal column as a trophy.
I get blanking everything unimportant to get the point across, but I do wonder what the rest of the text said…
She did a sing along with a hamas member who probably killed kids the same age as the children watching her content.
Source?
And why exactly does Hamas exist in the first place? Surely not because Isreal has been killing Palestinians before Isreal was even an official state.
That’s the same excuse as
“The Nazis genocide is, so it’s fine if we genocide others back”
I read this with yoda’s voice.
It still gives context to why the person conflated the statement with Israel.
Though I think anyone in tune with the news cycle would conflate killing children with Israel.
Predator Badlands was dope I’m looking forward to a sequel. Gonna watch Prey this weekend, see if it holds up. They’re kinda hit or miss, Aliens vs Predator should have been way better, hopefully they’ll give it another go with the current cast.
I haven’t seen them all but prey is easily my favorite.
Great film, especially the native American language version
I don’t think its ethics more a lack of challenge.
Not engaging in an easy kill because it would lack challenge is an example of…
*drumroll*
The envelope, please.
*rustling of paper*
…ethics.
Lol, I just recognized the name from spending ages discussing the monarchy with this guy. Seeing this post I checked his other comments; jeeeeeeeesus.
And American police and gun-toting civilians
Yeah, sorry - NO. It’s basic threat assessment, nothing to do with ethics. Those who attack a child do so because they are weak bullies taking advantage of an easy target - which obviously requires a lack of decent ethics, but not attacking that child doesn’t mean the choice was made based upon ethics.
TL;DR: Correlation != Causation.
