Alien Versus Predator Explained

Ive just finished watching AVP2, and I felt that it was done only passably. Its basically a movie where, if you're not a fan of the Aliens franchise, youd probably not be as impressed or understanding of the plot. So then, allow me to explain it for the masses. (See, my high IQ is used for Aliens, Warcraft, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Who cares about biology, seriously.)

Q1.) What are Aliens and Predators doing in one movie? Are they trying to make more money by combining the Aliens movies and the Predator movies together?

A.) No, the Aliens and Predators have always been part of the same universe.

Q2.) Where do the Aliens and Predators fit into all this?

A.) The rundown is that, in this movie, there are 3 races.

The first are the humans; Clueless, hapless and stupid descendants of apes.

The second are the xenomorphs, or what we call Aliens. Their origin is wildly speculated by fans, but the 2 I know are that either the Predators created them for use as training, or that some other race created them but then lost control of them and got owned instead. The xenomorph typically goes through 3 stages of growth after emerging from the egg: The first is the facehugger, the crab like one. The facehugger grabs on to the face of the victim and implants an egg inside. This egg grows into a chestburster, which bursts out of the victims chest (duh) and with sufficient nourishment, will grow into a typical drone. I believe each and every drone has the possibility of evolving into a Queen (depending on the needs of the hive), or some form of superior drone, called the Praetorian, as shown in the games.

The third are the Yautja, or what we call Predators. They are a highly advanced race and their civilisation centers around hunting. They hunt xenomorphs and humans for sport and among their race, some believe humans (ooman, as they call us) to be the ultimate prey due to our ability to think, while others believe the xenomorphs to be harder prey for obvious reasons. They usually hunt solo and kill only what they perceive to be a threat.

Q3.) If predators usually hunt solo, then why were there 3 preds in the first AVP movie?

A.) The 3 predators in the first movie were not established warriors. They were 3 noobs undergoing a rite of passage to prove their worth as warriors. It should also be noted that, even though the 3 of them arrived together, once the hunt began they broke off from each other, once again showing the Yautja's preference for hunting solo.

Q4.) Why didnt that idiot call for backup even though he was obviously having trouble with so many Aliens in AVP2?

A.) As stated before, in a warrior/honour-based culture, to call in backup in a situation like that would be to admit defeat, and that it unacceptable for the Yautja.

Q5.) How does the chestburster from a predator create the Predalien hybrid?

A.) It has been theoreticized that when the chestburster is gestating in the host, it takes some of the useful genetic material from the host gains the corresponding abilities that help in its survival.

Q6.) Why did the pretty girl (Jesse) have to get spiked by the predator at the end of AVP2?

A.) Cuz she was a pussy. In movies like this, pussies usually die in horrible ways. That is not to say that overly-brave and gungho people dont die. They possibly do as well, just that before they do they take out a few baddies with guns ablaze, which is the way to go.
