Usually, the predators overlook the one predator on the planet. If they figured that the self-destruct exploded, they wouldn’t go and investigate, unless the biomask survived. They will send one or two, but for another hunt.

Well said! I'd agree it has to do with genetic relationship regarding worthiness of the target/prey. They just want a fair fight. Honorable at least!

It's probably a familial thing, sometimes yautja siblings go hunting.

Jungle predator set off self destruct rather than accept defeat

I mean I would say the same but they would probably hunt the same people or family of them in my mind cause if you think about it they hunt for fun and to cement themselves as amazing hunters and warriors and what better prey is there then someone who’s killed one of their elites and someone in they’re family that has the same strengths and drive to give it their all to survive

the jungle hunter wasnt honorable…what is honorable about killing someone with a plasma caster while cloaked?the jungle hunter was “honorable”because his hunt was so damn easy he wanted to see what dutch could actually do.also the prey is different,why would you be honorable to handpicked prey that is the most dangerous from its world?super predators used their prey to learn and modify,while jungle was on a traditional hunt and city was right of passage.

@@yungxtsunamiyt8996 he’s was honorable it’s just all hunters pick who they think is worth their time and I’m sorry but most of that team in the jungle were grunts when compared to Dutch and billy hence why he fought them only and the predators in predators are all super predators and are all designated as bad bloods in predator lore because they don’t believe that if a prey doesn’t have a weapon or is a child or bearing children should be spared they kill you regardless and even tho falconer was honorable their will also be exceptions but they used some of their best technology they used animals and worst of all they took them from their planet and put them on a hunting planet they they have the home field advantage plus that plasma caster may seam unfair but they have a rule that if the prey has projectile weapons it’s fine to use them unless they’re fighting in hives of aliens they normally would never use them against prey that only uses brute strength and they also almost never have any armor too you say it’s unfair but if you think about it they have weapons that make the plasma caster look like a pea shooters in comparison and it also depends on the clan some being far more advanced but jungles clan is pretty tame especially when compared to black using a Gatling version that had the same power as a normal caster

Your correct.

Different clan probably. But still operating under same honor and conduct codes

Jake Theberge Agreed

I think it was literally because Dutch was so strong. By extension his brother must be strong too (basic predator logic I guess) also it probably seemed like an opportunity to one-up the jungle clan; earning a trophy they couldn’t would increase their status above the jungle clan.

Great Point, I'm sure they have a shared computer for human contact and the results of "said" contact

@@robertagu5533 the predators on the ship in 2 witnessed the fight In the first film no one else saw it Maybe they were investigating/were interested in the apparently interesting bloodline

From what I can tell you, this doesn't seem to go against any source material I know of, so I'd take this as probably true lol This would also lead into maybe the reason why the Lost Tribe hunted in LA in 1990. Maybe because after they found a detective in New York that seemed to be good prey, they might've been interested in Mike Harrigan a year later considering him to be worthwhile game since their experience with a previous detective was... Let's just say bad for them to say the least lolol

They dont want humans getting their technology and plus they probably dont want them knowing for a fact that they exist, just heresy.

I always figured that they have the explosive device to keep their prey from gaining access to Yautja technology.

@@bendover9813 That's a more "sporting" explanation of the self destruct device.

@@ddegn For real, and it’s even possible that, due to Dutch running away and surviving the explosion, the Yautja simply see the suicide bomb as another weapon, like their shoulder cannon or a machine gun. It’s not a guaranteed kill, it’s just a last resort to try and “win”.

Cronkodile Waters me too. Its whag their code suggests based of of seen actions

It would probably be able to smell the difference in people's blood and know its the same bloodline

Good luck.

Nuke from orbit, only way to be sure.

Oh hell yes.

How's that novel coming along? You know. That piece you told us you were working on? That fanfic? That short fiction item? The novel?

Even if they missed those slaughtered bodies they still would have attacked in order to try and save those hostages.

Most likely, Dutch and his team were Delta Force.

I always found it funny that one dude had a mini gun another a grenade launcher & at the end of the battle arny tells them to clear the area leaving no traces......

They must have meant something specific about those traces. Not like to wipe everything, that makes no sense, but maybe to hide something specific that gives it away who (what nationality) did this,

Which also PROBABLY kinda alerted Jungle Predator that there was worthy Human warriors in Dutch's squad when he came after Dutch and his men. I guess if they hadn't been there he'd been hunting down and slaughtering all them cartel goons

Have you read the comic about it? It's pretty good. I'd be down for a comic to movie adaptation of it

@@tobertcordless2491 what is that comic called?

@@Jormyyy Predator: 1718. It's a short story, but still nice.

Great comments. The original ending to Predators showed how impressed they were with Dutch - at the end when Adrian Brody and the female characters had just killed the last hunter, a cloaked ship appeared and landed in front of them. A door opened and six predators filed out but instead of attacking they formed two lines on either side of the ramp and waited until another predator walked out. The predator then took his mask off and it was Dutch appearing in a cameo with the line ‘not bad kid, not bad’ and the movie ended. That was the original ending scripted. I think there was either a pay dispute or an availability issue with Arnold that squashed it. I’m sure you can google it. Mr H Reviews talked about it in a video too. Would have been a great ending imo. I think that movie was underrated a bit.

A fair judgement an it does make sense. Would explain the current verse anyways. But we all know Hollywood cant make anything like THIS anymore without PC BSing or screwing it up somehow

@@chrisdooley6468 The original ending does sound really cool, but then again wouldn't Dutch have PTSD from his first encounter and he would hate them? He watched as his team was picked apart and he was the last one. I don't think he would've joined them lol Maybe that's another reason that ending was cut, because I think the ending now where they're stranded on the planet was a good ending. There's a comic about it continuing where it leaves off but it never goes anywhere. Maybe in a future comic, the regular Yautja come back and send Royce and his female friend back to earth lol Idk

The Antarctica site could be used as a sort of right of passage. It's done in a cold place to increase the challenge. Hunts in warm areas are for the fun of it. The Antarctica site might also be used frequently enough that they wanted to keep it away from the prying eyes of humans. Antarctica is the only continent without a large city. Its remoteness could be another reason it was used.

Remember that in the comics back in the late 80's they fought in a space colony

Also it's more cost effective way keeping the alien queen frozen with the environment being what it is then warm the place up. If it was kept in a warmer climate they would have to keep it artificially frozen which comes with it's own problems being that they spend so long away from the place at any time.

At first I too saw the frozen environment as just a way to keep the queen in hibernation. However, as we saw in Aliens, the xenomorphs go into some sort of hibernation when there is no active prey for them to hunt and gather for the hive. Thus the cold is not necessary to get them into hibernation. And though the xenomorphs also like to keep close to heat sources, they can function in the vacuum of space so freezing them may not really do all that much. Also, as we saw in Alien, the eggs were in hibernation or rather suspended animation by a stasis field, and only when Kane interfered with the field did the facehugger inside the egg awaken. This technology must be easy and robust, since The Delerict had crash landed and been on LV 426 a long time when the crew on the Nostromo entered it. And was still functioning when the colonists of Hadley's Hope entered the Delerict. So there would not even be any need to keep a queen permanent on Earth, as long as they got a good stock of eggs in stasis. If they had this pyramid in a more temperate climate, there would be no need for any of the quite extensive heating system incorporated into the antartic pyramid. The stasis field would only need a little electricty, far less than what was used in the prods used on the queen. Keeping the site hidden from humans seems counter productive, since according to the hieroglyfs in the pyramid, the Yautja had human subjects and made them build the pyramids and volunteer to be hosts for the xenomorphs. So humans built that darned pyramid and the Yautja would need a steady supply of hosts to breed the xenomorphs which creates it's own problems since no humans were anywhere near Antartica for thousands of years. In the movie the researchers theorized that the pyramid was built during a period when either the climate on Earth was warmer or Antartica due to continental drift were further north, so there would be no ice or harsh climate there at the time. If that was the case, they'd have had to refurbish the pyramid with heating to account for the colder climate. But that would be after there'd be no humans around there, so why bother and not just use one of the pyramids in warmer climates for the hunts instead? The interpretation of the hieroglyphs and the cutscenes seems to indicate that several ancient cultures were wiped out when the Yutja where overwhelmed by the xenomorphs during hunts and activated their portable nukes. These cultures would be in Latin America, Africa and Asia and be more like the favoured hunting grounds for the Yutja compared to Antartica. They tried to be inventive writing a new story for this script, but they managed to make it so that there's alot of controversy on how it all fits together with both the Alien and the Predator universes.

Unless they're bad blood then they don't care about honor lol

Harvey Darvey like the bezerker, tracker, and weird tusk predator?

They didn't think Lex killed scar you tard. They watched the events unfold right in front of them. they knew lex aided scar in his fight against the queen

Funny thing about that, there is a Yautja named Ahab in one of the AvP comics lol

Deon Farmer I'd like to see The Predator stalking Justin Beeber That would be entertaining LOL

New Yorkers would fight a predator.

It helps if it's a humid climate, their own cloaking blends in better as heat shimmer.

Maybe it was a genetic scanner as well.

Possibly and the Detective that killed City Pred wasnt even related to nor ever known Dutch or any his unit far as we know. So mkst of that was unconnected

Robert Agu nope its a coincidence they're brothers soso

Worked for the T-800.
