    I'll go first

    I saw more Predator stans the last time I saw an AVP post, so I'll just go ahead and say that I think Predator is boring

    For starters, they're way too humanoid. Like, yeah, they have a fucked up crab face, or whatever, but theyre basically just scarier versions of humans with better technology

    Now, comrades have elucidated me with regard to interesting things re: gender identities and shit in the Predator lore, I have to say that stuff is pretty cool. I don't totally remember how it breaks down, but I do remember finding it interesting when someone explained it on here

    Alien imo is just a better creature all around. I have to say, I think its a better franchise, too - but ima completely put that aside. Giger was an amazing concept artist. (I've had more nightmares about Alien than I could possibly recount)

    Alien is superior in my mind because they don't need thumbs and an enlarged frontal lobe because spits acid in your face and stabs you through the heart with their tail tip

    The little mouth is also funny and cool, and creepy.

      I prefer predator to aliens, but alien is one is my favourite movies. My wife is also a huge fan of the series, to the point where we have hr gigers concept art hanging in our hallways. I say of the two, xenomorphs are way more interesting, but preds get credit for looking rad as hell too.
