And No. 16 is kind of working it...

From the photographic evidence we are presented with, we would have more luck determining which outfits are meant as ceremonial garb, and which are designed for functional use. My theory would be that while the outfit in image 21 is quite likely practical attire, the outfits in 6a and 16 are almost certainly not intended for any sort of active use, simply due to the noticable lack of support.

Personally, I'd do a Predator / Batz Maru hybrid, with plushy fur.

What about the Alien series? Who is the hero of those? Sigourney Weaver. The Alien movies (at least the first two) are effective because the heroes are portrayed as fully realized characters with wants needs, and desires. They are vulnerable human beings facing the challenges of the unknown not muscle bound supermen who know no fear.
As far as the Predator series is concerned, we've already seen the testosterone fueled action picture featuring macho throw downs. As fun as those first two movies were, I think it's about time we let loose some questing, thinking humans into the Predator universe and see what happens.

For frak sake man! The second an interesting and thought provoking plot pops its head up in the third act, an alien shows up and starts to kill people! Whats better, a bunch of drawn out dialogue heavy scenes where they explain their histories and motivations, or laying an entire ecosystem to waste with a minigun? That movie is so manly if it were a smell it would be that smell your shirt has after you work out. It's that mantastic!
I do agree that more flushed out emotional characters are just as or even more entertaining than butch he men trouncing through the jungle, but the argument is that thats not what makes predator so endearing. People shaving with a dull razor without shaving cream, or bad one liners after you pin a guy to a pillar with a bowie knife are what this movie is all about. The sheer excess of it all is what gives this franchise its longevity.

I love you! Why isn't my BF Dwayne in this flick? Is he trapped in a 7-picture deal with Disney or something and can't make anything without a toddler in it?
