From the lore of the Predator species, a Predator who goes for a hunt is trying to prove they are worthy of adult status in their society. As each Predator dies in the film they fail to attain adult status in their society.
That’s non-sequitur. Predators go on more than one hunt in their lives. It would only be a valid statement if their 1st hunt was their only hunt.
That’s not what non-sequitur means.
Do you know those moving strips in the airport that are like horizontal escalators? In my mind that’s a sequitur, so a non sequitur would be just a piece of floor…
Anyway thank you for reading
How do you define it, then? The definition I’m aware of is for an inference that doesn’t follow from the premise.
So they’re killing child predators and your complaining?
Defending themselves from adolescents.
Do the xenomorphs also have rituals about killing predators, or is this more of a one-way knockout game situation?
So it's their My Girl?
Do you mean like Predator films? Because I don’t think tigers and velociraptors have coming of age rituals.
I’m lost
*Predator films where the a Predator dies
Sort of like when a kid’s drafted at the age of 18, and dies in a jungle on the far side of the planet, without ever once having lived as an adult in his home world.
Unless the kid went through many years of training then volunteers to go the jungle explicitly to hunt.
If he dies in that jungle it’s all the same

According to material online to become blooded they need to hunt and kill a xenomorph to mark themselves with the acidic blood. This allows them privilege to hunt solo.
So the Predator film (1&2) Yautja wouldn’t have been un blooded predators.

That's an intriguing thought. So AVP1 is a sucessful coming of age story, but only for the main predator and the final girl.
