AVP - why didnt scar react

[rocktuskpred]

. He did team up with a human..and? I have read the comics and preds and humans, especially the females always team up, so keeping it like the comics not a problem with me.

well there a huge different in the reasons why dachande teamed up with machiko and why scar teamed up with lex

dachande was saved by the humans twice and his students were hunting the humans colony without authorization and dachande had to stop it

scar teamed up with lex because lex demanded that she go with him, now i cant really imagine something as cruel as a pred (who hunts for fun or honor which ever you prefer to go by) teaming up with a human because they demanded it. it jus doesnt fit right with there personality IMO

can i just point out something to you guys who are saying those who are face hugged are put into a coma, when that miller guy (the one from pearl harbor) woke up he saw the army guy next to him and when he tried to go for his gun the army guy grabbed his hand, he couldn't do that if he was in a coma

also the life cycle of the alien seems to be way too fast for me the Spanish guy who was grabbed by the alien while he was trying to ave lex was gone for a few minutes and the next time we saw him he had been face hugged and it was bursting out of him WTF way too fast

Hi guys. I've always pondered the question why scar didn't off himself after he got facehugged. Now that i think about it, maybe he was hoping to get back to the ship and get the darn thing surgically removed. I figure for a race as advanced as theirs it shouldn't be a stretch to think they could do such a thing. Unfortunately of course he dies before he has a chance to say crap.

just my 2 cents.

That's what I thought. Scar figured he already got facehugged and that the only way he could save himself was to complete the hunt and beatfeat back to the ship and get it removed. There was no need to spaz out or show emotion after getting facehugged because that wouldn't have accomplished anything or gotten Scar closer to his goal.

It's like bein in battle and getting wounded. If it's a minor flesh wound that doesn't affect your current operations, don't worry about it till later and just get your task done. So Scar manned up and continued to kick alien ass despite being impregnated, and wound up dying before he could tell his fellow Preds he had a surprise inside.

hmm well all I can say as at leased scar didnt get hit by a tree, or get pwned by a human with his own pred disc he lost, scar died by a queen, yah he let his guard down and got faced hugged but you cant be invisible all the time. Overall scar did a better job then any of the preds did before him, even pred1, pred2. He did team up with a human..and? I have read the comics and preds and humans, especially the females always team up, so keeping it like the comics not a problem with me.

EH?
now thatd be good if he got hit by a tree *scar says: OUCH* *i yell to em: U DUMB ASS*
ye i agree whit siccx!
scar rlly had puppy dog eyes
and now
look
REAL PREDATOR EYES == ANGRY

SCAR PREDATOR EYES == PUPPY DOG EYES

I think that maybe its true that P1 killed the dudes with his shoulder cannon but, look at it this way; Arny's team had a grenade launchers, grenades, a friggin minigun, an M60, and enough auto-matic rifle power to take down who knows how many figures of something.

This would be a god point if you just completely neglect the fact that humans can't really see a cloaked pred, you can't focus on hitting something if you can't see it.

Don't forget they are hunters: Facehugged=failure Failure=death

Personally, I think when scar woke back up and didn't react, it was more of a "I'm already going to die, but I will complete my mission and die with honor"

Either that, or:
I think it's possible to say that a facehugger can put one into coma, and could make them forget what has happend by delivering sedative and amnesia-inductive substances. In the alien movies, facehugged people do not always know what has happened to them (especially Ripley in Alien3 but it's true she was in hypersleep), so Scar may have wakened up without even remembering the facehugger's assault.

 

[The Creator]

Doesnt a Facehugger knock you out? & then when you finally awake you dont remember it happened look what happend with Kane in Alien.He felt fine then he had a chestburster coming out of his chest.

 

[Darkraven]

Yh but most of the time when the hugger has impregnated you it falls off your face and dies like the woman in AVP saw when she woke up it was right next to her

 

[UltimateHunter]

What do you mean code of honor crap!???
Thats what the predators are made of. Yeah they were their for sport but sport was meant as in HUNTING ones with weapons. In the original predator he did not once kill someone without a weapon. And when Anna picked up that heckler, Dutch kicked it away knowing the predator wouldnt kill you if you were armed. Another example in that SAME movie, Anna again doesnt get killed when Hawkins gets waisted because he had a GUN!!!!
Anyway, what that whole thing you said was so flawed even though you were trying to expose the concepts of the original film.
Preds DO have honor and is shown in even the original movie...

As for scar, I think in the film, there was NO need for him to get face hugged. Its just bad directing and possibly script writing...
If scar was going to get impailed by the queen anyway, whats the point of having that happen to him?!
Anyway, its just more bad movieness...

Is it? Is it really?

Hawkins was blind-sided by the Predator while he was cloaked.

Blaine was sharp-shot from quite a distance. Again, cloaked.

Mac was shot in the face from point blank range. Again, the Predator was cloaked.

We don't know how Billy died.

Dillion was shot with his cannon from a distance, disarming him. Again the Predator was cloaked and ran up on him to finish the job.

Seems to me that through out more than half the movie he is cloaked and invisible to Dutch's team. Maybe it's just me, or maybe we both have different definitions of "honor," but hiding and killing your prey from afar sounds quite the opposite of "honorable." Had he been so, he would've revealed himself to each one of his victims. There would've been no distance attacks. The whole gimmick of the movie was that something that they couldn't see was killing them off one by one. Until the climax of the movie where the Predator finally reveals himself to Dutch and they throw-down. The comic books established the "Honor Code."

if you notice any one ever attacked and face hugged always show signs of amnesia and dont remenmber what just happen so that is most likely why scar wasnt freaking out two if he did know he is a predator and to them being face hugged is like being raped by a girafe its a disgrace so him pushing on and trying to kill the xenomorphs with what time he had left seem only natural and next best thing to do second factor could be that scar had no idea he had a embryo as well like i said before in alien, aliens3, alien resurrection, even aliens show that every person ever implanted with a egg has no idea what happened right before same in AVP when everyone in the chamber got embryoed the girl with spiky hair looked at the face hugger after it came off like it was the first time seeing it. also when the queen impaled scar it was below where the pred alien shot out so she was not risking killing her baby predalien

so its all there just you just have to be i guess a over analytic fanboy or fangirl to realize and eliminate the questions of why and i dont get it and say well in the predecessor movies these were peoples symptoms from face huggers and in this AVP playstation 2 game a pred alien is a abomination and disgrace to ever have been born. So the predator elder commits sucide to stop and kill the pred aliem

Also, I think that maybe its true that P1 killed the dudes with his shoulder cannon but, look at it this way; Arny's team had a grenade launchers, grenades, a friggin minigun, an M60, and enough auto-matic rifle power to take down who knows how many figures of something.
So, the fact of the predator just having a plasma caster as his only projectile shows that he aint being no pussy! Furthermore, its not that he couldnt kill them face to face (for example Blain) but its the fact that he did kill someone (who has probably killed many in his time) which brings him honor. I know there are probably flaws in what I am saying, but, i guess that P1 was SOO expirienced that he didnt need to test himself OR Blain's ability to gain a skull.

Read what I wrote. I said it before...

 

[dark hunter]

to be honest I'm on my way out and can't read through much of this so if someone has already said this sorry guys.
I just think its basically because paul anderson's mum was baking cookies so he didn't have time to finish the whole script after coloring in the pretty predator picture he made on the front of it.

AVP - Regarding the Scanners not picking up a baby alien inside ya chest, the scene where Lex and Scar goes to the egg room and the Italian scientist was already strapped to the wall, Lex shots him and then Scar had to activate his X-ray scan mode to see the little critter in his chest. Preds and Elder in the end of the movie probably didn't know that Scar was impregnated so no reason to scan his body for infection.

Well anyway after what had happened in AVP-R I'm sure that the Yautja council will pass a law to scan all bodies for alien infection before bring them on the ship

 

[UltimateHunter]

You know, every one is saying why didnt scar react. Okay there are arguments for it, but how about this, why didnt celtic react when the alien dove on him? I mean he could have done something bad ass like grab the double-mouth and stuggle a bit more! I mean, this does show that he is young, (especially when he acts a little scared when fully facing the alien in hand to hand battle for the first time) but still, this pred looked like the alpha dude and he still froze up and let himself get brain-mushed.

By the way, sorry if someone has made a comment like this before but I just thought it was appropriate.
