Why do Predators hunt Humans when Aliens are much tougher game?

I don't get it.

When they first arrived on the planet,I can see them curious about how well we would defend ourselves and how tough we would be to kill, not knowing our technology.

But now they know were are all a bunch of noobs.

They can stealth us, they have thermal vision, they shoot us with lasers from quarter-mile away with pin-point accuracy and have all sorts of deadly traps and weapons we can't even see until they're already set upon us.

All we have are guns and they're useless unless you got Jessie the Body Ventura mowing down half the jungle with a Rail Gun. And even then it's just dumb luck if you manage to nick one with a bullet.

On the other hand, Aliens are MUCH more evolved creatures. They've got acid blood, they've got pack-hunter instincts, they are insanely agile and they are much more dangerous as far as population-control is concerned. They're also excellent trackers and have genetically superior survival instincts.

So why even bother hunting humans, except to harvest them as hosts for Aliens? It's a no-contest.

They only hunt little humans.

Free range human tastes better than Alien.

The human skull is much more aesthetically pleasing than a xenomorph (Alien) skull.

Humans kill Aliens by the dozen, so clearly humans are the more challenging prey.xaos

Sometimes you want a challenge, and sometimes you just want to pwn some noobs. thriteenthmonke

i'd want to know why aliens would waste an interstellar trip just to grab a few humans to hunt for sport. seems a little excessive.comp_atkins

From the comics and books extraordinary humans have always been the toughest prey for Predators.

The real question is that how are we supposed to believe for one second that in the new preditor movie that the humans could possibly stay alive from more than 10 seconds on the predator home planet. Honestly..

Because every time the Predators hunt Aliens, the movie ends up terrible.

Don't you mean every time they hunt Aliens.

EDIT: Apparently you did.

dude, I will no question the "why" as long as I CAN SEE SOMETHING IN THIS MOVIE and not like in AVP2, the camera was so fricking bad, all the movie felt like being texting on your phone while locked up at a bathroom with lights off at an abandoned house...all that you could see were black silhouttes even for humans
