Why do the Xenomorphs always win over the Predators? No, honestly.

Predators:
Extremely advanced technology
Born hunters, engineered to kill the most deadly prey
Armed with the greatest arsenal possibly imaginable
Possessing of space-flight technology and are able to hide their heat signature and go completely invisible

Xenomorphs:
There's lots of them?
...Acid blood I guess?
They come from above?

No, /tv/, why DO the Xeno's always win? How does ONE NEWLY-HATCHED Xeno kill two ARMED AND PREPARED Predators?
>>
Aliens are the perfect organism, fool.
>>
>>71069513
because there wouldn't be much of a story if the predators just curb stomped the xenomorphs
>>
>>71069741
But why not have hundreds, nay, thousands of Xenos against a squadron of Predators? Xeno's greatest weapon is their breeding capabilities, they can spawn thousands so long as they have hosts.

in avp the predators are coming of age predators - this is their trail.

in avp2 predator is only killed by a hyprid.

>But why not have hundreds, nay, thousands of Xenos against a squadron of Predators?
Oh you mean like the intro of AvP? Where the xenos completely overwhelmed the Predators forcing them to detonate the thermo charges?

Think of xenos as green ants and the scorpion as a predator. 1v1 it should always be the predator coming out on top, but a swarm vs a couple preds? Xenos shouldn't have a problem.

Exactly. But the silly issue is, they always pair a predator or two against a few aliens. Its stupid.

Nice video by the way.

>But the silly issue is, they always pair a predator or two against a few aliens. Its stupid.
Yeah, but it's only because of budgetary reasons, seems to me. In the comics it's always a single predator or a couple against a swarm of xenomorphs.

Hell, Dredd had no problem against a single xeno.

>>71070272
Disappointing...

Wait, Dredd fought a Xeno? I take it this was a comic? When the fuck was that?
>>
>>71070302

Literally everyone fought a xenomorph at some point or another in the comics. Superman, Batman, you fucking name it. Theres an Alien vs Predator Vs Terminator comic.
>>
is there Alien vs Alien?

I never understood this because they really can't, I mean yes if they have literally thousands of hosts but they never do.
For such an advanced organism they have a really really shitty method of reproduction. Imagine if literally every mother died in childbirth, we'd have died out in very little time. Then take in into account that the xenos themselves only ever seem to capture people and take them to the nest either off screen or once they've already been facehugged and seem determined to just kill everyone else. For a species who's power is in numbers, constantly murdering your only method reproduction is pretty dumb.
I mean I get it in Alien because it's Gieger's thing, forcible impregnation and deadly, gorey, agonizing birth and all that symbolism stuff, but once you play it straight in Aliens onward it doesn't work at all.

ALIENS and PREDATOR are still wil Dark Horse, right?
I have the first printing of the first 6-issue mini-series, black and white, of ALIENS with Hicks being Hicks and New being Newt. None of this 'Wilks' or 'Billie' shit.

The movies make the predators out to be jobbing fools and in the book they are even worse. Super space tech and yet they rely on mostly male weapons and bladed weapon due to batshit stupid honor system. Their FTL is actually on par with to slightly worse than humans in the books. They have just had it longer and never advanced it. And no they can not hide their heat signature. thats how just about every book and movie has humans tracking them.

So what your saying is that the predator honor system(aka religion) is holding them back?
>>
>>71069513
Its the Sci Fi equivalent of humans vs lions. Its not hard to understand.
