Why did he laugh?
>>
>>220889089
He understood that the ideals these elite problem-solving men were fighting for were only an naive excuse for the 0.001% to massively profit from the misery they sow in the world, and that a system fundamentally built on this fact, and its staunch defense by those it exploits, deserves nothing more than scornful laughter.
>>
>>220889089
He was satisfied he found an worthy challenger and was laughing out of sheer delight as he tried to die with him.
>>
>>220889089
Because he was about to set off a thermonuclear detonation making arnold's victory pyrrhic.
>>
>>220889089
You gotta laugh.
>>
>>220889214
Surprisingly based, I didnt know the predator thought this.
>>
>>220889089
One last challenge to the ultimate prey
One that he managed to beat. Jungle Hunter would have been proud to be bested by him.
>>
>>220889089
He remembered a funny joke

He knew that even if Arnie survived the blast, nobody will ever believe him and another Predator will arrive someday to take his place and the cycle will continue.

>>220889364
This was considered buff and muscular in 1980s
>>
>>220889364
I always took the self destruction as sort of a prime directive thing, make sure none of the primitives they were hunting could get a hold of their technology since anything that could 1v1 a predator as a primitive really doesn't need extra technology.

False, they were a rescue team, not assassins.
>>
>>220889398
Still better shape than you, fatty.

>>220889485
That makes sense. The laugh though was purely schadenfreude.
>>
>>220889089
He thought it was funny watching the human scurry away trying to outrun a mini nuke

My whole squad is skinned and hanging from the trees and you're laughing.

OG Predator was just an asshole. The whole noble hunter bit came later. It was killing for fun. Not even sport really. Not by any human definition.

I was the alien version of a stereotypical hillbilly shooting things for the sheer animalistic joy of killing. It snipes people with a shoulder mounted laser canon while invisible and it even fucks with people and drags it out.
>>
>>220889866
>The whole noble hunter bit came later.
No it didn't. That's why him an arnold have a fist fight at the end, and that is why Billy stayed behind of fight the predator himself.
They figured out that the predator is always going to try to meet the threat with an appropriate level of retaliation, so Billy and Arnold basically both go at him naked. Arnold tries to use his brain by setting up a bunch of traps and luring it in, trying to use some guile instead of brute force.
>>
>>220890110
Also why he spares the lady. It wasn't a fight, she was defenseless, and the trophy wouldn't have had any honor in it.
>>
it was replay of the indian laughing after they fucked up the village
>>
>>220890110
>That's why him an arnold have a fist fight at the end,
lmao he did that because the predator knew the was going to beat arnolds ass, and he did. thats not honor. thats like saying if i fist fight a kitten im honorable and we have no indication that the predator fist fought billy either. the predator was more than happy to blast arnold in the tree tops with his laser blaster. the fist fight wasnt honor, it was pride, pride cometh before the fall, and a sense of superiority and smugness. he was toying with arnie.

the nuke is the ultimate fuck you, thats not fucking honor and any cope about
>ohhhh its because he doesnt want his tech to fall into the wrong hands
is that, cope. the original predator was the equivalent of a retired dentist hunting old lions in the safari from the back of his truck with an elephant gun. he straight up blasts that wounded soldier too, thats not honorable. i dont think he even had a gun.
>>
>>220889089
He thought of something funny.
>>
>>220889364
I forgot Arnold actually looked human in this lel
>>
>>220889089
He had a twisted sense of humour, much like myself.
>>
>>220890131
Alternatively aren't you only meant to shoot bucks and not does (I live in a nogunz country so I don't know shit about hunting)
>>
>>220890687
You can shoot Doe, but only in restricted seasons.
Also if you go buck hunting you have a trophy to keep (and its an easy way to gauge the age of the deer so you're not killing yearlings).
>>
Aaaalways look at the briight siiide of liiife, phew phew phew phew, phew phew phew phew phew.
>>
>>220889089
This cunt is honestly a real sore loser.
>>
>>220889311
Something about loose pussies. Because of the echo haha.
>>
>>220889311
and i said: Predator? I hardly knew her!
>>
>>220890793
I assumed it was something like, you're allowed in the off season, but it's discouraged because a doe might be pregnant, and anyway if you kill too many females you might cause population problems anyway
>>
>>220889089
After noticing this, you'll never watch the last act of Predator again: everyone that gets shot with the shoulder canon either gets exploded or loses a limb. However, Arnold takes a blast right to his chest, which knocks him down, but it does less damage than a sun burn. He's back up and using his arms and muscles fine in seconds as if he were never shot.
>>
>>220891188
Arnold contracted his muscles the milisecond before it hit thus fully negating the blast effect, the plasma just bounced off of him. The others' muscles were too relaxed when they got hit.
>>
>>220889364
The menstrual cycle?
>>
>>220889089
That's how his species expresses fear.
>>
>>220891283
>just let the immigrants dead-man's tactical-nuke you, it's their culture!
>you don't want to be racist do you?
>>
>>220891188

i always assumed the damage was based on how much energy the thing had left
>>
>>220891283
They say hi by pissing in yo mouth!
*reloads shovel*
>>
>>220889485
That's how I always interpreted the scene.
>>
>>220889866
Their idea of honor doesn't have to look anything like ours, and really it shouldn't.

In fact we should have a film where there are four Predators and each one of them follow different rules.
>>
>>220889398
Shut up faggot
>>
>>220891304
The Predator still has a bunch of energy left in it. He gets surprised by Arnold's traps later and starts panic blasting all around the forest. He shoots off six or more blasts that explode trees into sparks. It's just Arnold having thick plot armor.

>>
>>220889089
I thought he was having the last laugh. He set off a bomb afterwards. Then Dutch has to run to save himself. The Predator didn't think he was going to make it.
>>
>>220889265
これ

>>220889089
he thought he had the last laugh. it’s a thing, but you’d know that if you weren’t brown.
>>
>>220891188
It hit his gun you retard
>>
>>220889089
I always assumed his sensors couldn't directly translate alien languages word by word. Instead it gives him a rough idea of the intention between phrases and sounds like laughter.
>>
>>220889089
Because he learned how big Hawkin's girlfriend's pussy was.
>>
>>220889089
It's Billy's laugh from earlier in the film slowed down.
He's impressed that Dutch beat him.
>>
>>220889259
Somewhat this, unironically, but since it's Billy's laughter at the pussy joke from earlier, I take it as more he's just impressed with Dutch/sees it as a cosmic joke.
"The joke's on me" kind of thing
