Are you rooting for "Alien" or "Predator"??
I know that "whoever wins, we lose" but personally I'm rooting for the Aliens. The Predators are too damned cocky. And they cheat. They can turn all invisible and shit. Cheaters!!!

1. Aliens are just killing machines
The Predator is a hunter with advanced weapons & a brain and probably more dangerous.

13. But the Predators kill just for the fun of it.
That's why I hate them. They're just fucking with us.

4. I'm rooting for a solid conclusion

10. The Aliens
The Predator lost to Ah-nold, which makes him a "girlie man." Those Aliens though, they always get you in the end.

11. Predators don't cheat. They kill only the armed and dangerous.
Aliens don't discriminate, everyone/thing is fair game.

12. Predator-dudes already know how to kill Aliens.
There was a cameo by an Alien skull in Predator 2, along with his other assorted thophies on his ship.

19. Predators are going to win this round........................
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 11:49 AM by foamdad
and all the humans who happen upon the fight will die. Why? The Aliens were hitherto unheard of until the crew of the Nostromo came upon them in "Alien", and I'm assuming that story took place in the far-future.

25. Sorry, gotta play the geek card here......
It appears that AVP is set in present-day Antarctica. If the Aliens woulda won, the planet would be crawling with 'em. Also, the crew of the ship in "Alien" would have known about the face-hugging creepos and would have avoided them like the plague and we never would have been privy to the whole Ripley saga.

But since Alien I through ad nausaeum has occurred, ergo, Predator victory!

26. Ah, but you are forgetting one thing
Edited on Thu Aug-12-04 03:58 PM by Downtown Hound
The company knew about them. Remember, the Nostromo was secretly sent on orders to retrieve one of the aliens. They didn't tell the crew about it because they most likely knew that it was a hostile lifeform and no one in their right mind would approach it. So this leaves one possibility, the aliens defeat the predators, and are in turn defeated by humans. The incident is covered up and known only to those in the military industrial complex, who, hundreds of years later, receive the transmission that results in the Nostromo's mission.

Hence: Alien Victory!

Actually, who the hell really knows, it's just a movie that's probably going to suck. But I'm going to see it anyway!

21. Aliens, definitely
Predator movies suck! Alien and Aliens are both excellent in very different ways.
