From the lore of the Predator species, a Predator who goes for a hunt is trying to prove they are worthy of adult status in their society. As each Predator dies in the film they fail to attain adult status in their society.
According to material online to become blooded they need to hunt and kill a xenomorph to mark themselves with the acidic blood. This allows them privilege to hunt solo.
So the Predator film (1&2) Yautja wouldn’t have been un blooded predators.
The AVP films though.
That’s an intriguing thought. So AVP1 is a sucessful coming of age story, but only for the main predator and the final girl.
Well that explains why I’ve always found it strangely heartwarming.
That’s non-sequitur. Predators go on more than one hunt in their lives. Your statement would only be valid if their 1st hunt was their only one.
The predator in the movie has several trophy skulls from other species on his spacecraft. He’s just a trophy hunter.
He probably died because he had too many skulls on
So they’re killing child predators and you’re complaining?
Defending themselves from adolescents.
Do the xenomorphs also have rituals about killing predators, or is this more of a one-way knockout game situation?

Do you mean like Predator films? Because I don’t think tigers and velociraptors have coming of age rituals.
I’m lost
Predator films where the
aPredator dies
So it’s their My Girl?
Sort of like when a kid’s drafted at the age of 18, and dies in a jungle on the far side of the planet, without ever once having lived as an adult in his home world.
Unless the kid went through many years of training then volunteers to go the jungle explicitly to hunt.
If he dies in that jungle it’s all the same
