Whose group was better: Dutch or Royce


I for one one feel Dutch's group was better than Royce. On one hand you have a very well trained team from "Predator", and a bunch of good killers thrown together in "Predators" . It still bothers me though that Royce's team killed three of what the "Predators" movie describes as better killing Predators, and Dutch's team barely killed one of the lesser trained Predators. I always felt maybe Royce's team just got lucky, or thats just how the director wanted it. Thoughts?

The Predator from the original was far superior to the trio in Predators. The 3 Preds toyed with the gang too much. They had to use the "dogs", use the drones, they exposed themselves non camouflaged frequently(when it targets Royce with the laser in front of the gang, when the one becomes visible to kill Nolan and then Nikolai, takes off cloaking for katana fight, walks up to the Edwin booby trap without cloaking). Plus not to mention that scene with the dogs was unfair and basically cheating because almost everyone in the gang used all their ammo. The list goes on. The original Predator stayed cloaked but used it to also spy and eavesdrop a lot. However, he wasn't an imbecile and hunted with precision and almost perfection. In the end he also got too confident though.

So is using advantages "unfair/cheating" or "precision" hunting?

I don't understand why it's considered unfair to use dogs (and no, they didn't have to, they just did because they could) but tactical perfection to stay cloaked the majority of the time and snipe people from the trees before they know what hit 'em.

the predators are more "laxed: cause they got the homeground advantage. on earth, humans many not the terrains better. so they need to be more defensive. my thoughts.

Dutch´s team.
Reason is because they were a rescue team, not assassins and they had Dillon, used to be someone Dutch could trust.

Dutch's group - more heroic, courageous and memorable.

Is this a serious question?

Casting Director should get a Lifetime Achievement Award for Predator 1.

Dutch's group so much more dangerous than Royce's it's like the NFL vs a Jr College Team.
