WeAreVenom88 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Scar Predator stomps hard I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culwych1 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'll need to refresh my memory, but I think the Thing can only assume the form of organic beings? Honestly cannot remember. But hey, good excuse to watch the films again! If not, then it's toast against the Predator. Otherwise there may be a slight element of surprise if it can assume a non threatening form and catch Scar by surprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise there may be a slight element of surprise if it can assume a non threatening form and catch Scar by surprise I disagree with both statement. Firstly how would Scar be able to kill the Thing? It is highly invulnerable to damage and can heal and repair tissue and mass at an almost Wolverine level. The only thing that can kill it is being engulfed in great heat (fire) for a prolonged period and none of Scar’s weapons would be capable of that. Number two, once Scar get’s too close how will he defend itself against being assimilated by the Thing? Once even a single part of the Thing’s tissue touches Scar he is dead. Sorry but I’m not seeing how this is not a stomp in favor of the Thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is an alien life form like the predator and I see the predator being the more dominant species in one on one and as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would Scar know not to get too close to it? And how would he defend himself from being assimilated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeAreVenom88 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I would say similar to how Kurt Russell did in the original. If fire is the only element that can destroy it I'm sure he could mutilate The Thing, retreat, then pry eventually meet back up to duke it out and Predator will be prepared.

No it won’t. The Thing can only be killed if every single cell in it’s body is burned at the same time over the course of at least 1 or 2 minutes. The plasma cannons blasts are too small to engulf the entire Thing and if it splatters the Things body parts around then they’ll reanimate into separate entities of their own and Scar will then have to deal with multiple enemies at once. But the main point is that Scar has to completely destroy every inch of the Thing down to it’s cells in order to kill it, and the only weapon that seems to be able to do that is a flamethrower, which Scar does not have.

What weapons does Scar have that produces fire? Heck how would he even know that fire is the only way to kill the Thing? Also how will Scar even survive his first encounter with the Thing when just a single touch from it can kill Scar? The young Pred was dumb enough to let a facehugger Alien to get too close to him and impregnate him, I highly doubt he’ll be any less cautious towards the Thing and once it gets close enough to touch Scar it’s game over.

Alright actually a plasma cannon is more of an energy weapon so i doubt/guess the plasma blast could just probably just fry its living organic tissue and also, there's one video game featuring an upgraded version of the same main weapon that can even set targets ablaze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
