Does anyone here NOT like the super predators

[EXOTICLEX]

I thought they were mega PU****S....

 

[JAROTO]

I dont like them either. In fact im only fan of the original from the first movie.

 

[Demimatt]

No ab articulation killed them all for me.

 

[Avenger]

I prefer the older designs but I still like the new ones. My main question is, who is mr. black? There is bezerker, tracker and falconerer. Is Mr.Black the lost reservoir dog?

Mr. Black is another name for the Berserker.

Because of the ball-jointed waist, the lack of ankle articluation is actually a far greater issue than the lack of ab articlaution.

My Fav predators so far... going by the movie is the City Hunter from Pred 2, then Scar, and I guess thats it...(I hated Scar's face tho, I liked the classic Bio + the AVP armor and weapons were awesome)

Toy wise, Guardian Predator, City Hunter, Lost Pred... all from Hot Toys... wish I owned em lol

 

[Valfar]

i hated those AVP body builder Preds, AVPR Wolf is the most bad ass of the new Preds and then City Hunter Pred taking #1 favorite for me.

I wish Hot Toys P2 was coming out now, maybe one day they will revisit old figures in dire need of upgrades.

It was a good idea to put a samurai to fight a predator but it wasn't very well choreographed in the movie I think.

Didn't like them at first - hated Berserker at first, actually. But I came around to Berserker enough to want to buy the figure. Now, 'zerker is one of my favorite figures that I own.

As far as bad-ass-itude is concerned, the real wimp is '87 Predator. He got taken out by a log. Berserker took 6 grenades at point blank range and was still fighting. '87 classic also hid like a coward in a jungle, invisible, picking guys off who couldn't see him. You give me a cloaking device, a jungle to hide in, the element of suprise, a laser targetting system and a plasma caster, I could take out Dutch's squad all by myself. "No sport."

The really tough Predators are the AvP ones - the cloaking device doesn't work against zenomorphs, plus they had nowhere to hide in that cramped temple (unlike the cowardly '87 classic, who had an entire jungle to hide in plus invisibility), going at it without plasma casters (most of the film) in tight spaces armed with only cutting weapons (some of which melt and become useless after one strike).

The "super Predators" were a step backwards for the franchise in terms of the bad-ass-ery of the Predators, but they were still much tougher than classic '87. Six grenades >>>> a log light enough that a jungle vine can support.

^ This post is stupid. In every single way.

You do realize that the original Predator was an actual HUNTER right? None of this samuriai klingon honor bull____, he was a stone cold hunter. Real hunters dont go and fight the lions. They take it out from a distance.

I honestly love all of the various Pred designs throughout all of the movies...my least favorite is probably the bulky body shape and the face of the AVP Preds, but they still hold significance to me. As for the "Super" Preds...I have liked them from the get go. My least favorite of the 3 is the Tracker, but mainly because of the mask...just didn't care for it as much. He does have a great armor design though.

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

I choose to believe that the AvP Preds were so bulky because they were hunting in an extremely cold environment.

 

[gotham_collector87]

I love the Super Preds in the movie and the HTs figs.

You do realize that he was practically invisible, with an entire jungle to hide in, right? Pretty incompetent hunter when you think about it. Don't get me wrong, I love the film, but I can at least admit to the things that are silly about it.

Those wouldn't make much of trophies, wouldn't they? At least the other preds weren't camping snipers.

It's okay, I also laugh at human hunters who shoot animals with rifles and then show them off in their dens

 

[Hume77]

Of course, I knew going in that the second I attacked the film, some here might take it personally, as if I had personally attacked them.

It's okay. I know what it's like to like something so much that when someone attacks it, it feels like they are attacking me. So I can understand this reaction.

However, in their haste to condemn me for criticizing something they love, it seems that some are not really listening. Yes, the first Predator was the best film of the bunch. Compared to the other films, it had better pacing, more memorable characters and better one-liners, plus the Predator was new and cool and novel. I can quote every line from the film from memory, so I've seen it enough times to say that I love it.

But, you have to be able to laugh at yourself, and that includes laughing at some of the things that you love. The whole concept of the Predator being a great hunter was silly right from the very start. No one with all of the advantages that he enjoyed has the right to be called a great hunter. You give me invisibility, a jungle to hide in, the element of surprise, a targeting system and a plasma weapon, and, oh, throw in superhuman strength, agility, and resistance to small arms fire while you're at it. See how many surprised human soldiers I can pick off before one of them manages to off me.

It's a silly premise for a movie. That's fine. A lot of our favorite things are basically silly. That's oftentimes the reason WHY they're our favorite things.

He did have some honor though CP. He didn't kill the girl (forgot her name) and at the end he would it sporting with dutch. He could of killed Dutch like 4 times easily, but choose not to.

Those people should be laughed at, pathetic excuse for humans.

Yes....and? Like CelticP said, he was a HUNTER. If you're going out to hunt a deer do you get out in the open so they can see you and run away? If you're going out to hunt a lion do you get out in the open so they can kill you?...

You aren't making any sense.
