Jared probably counts as “not sportsmanlike to fight”.

Jared probably counts as “not sportsmanlike to fight”.
Seems legit.
You still have to watch out when it comes to make trade deals with them though. They still favor the “cut-throat negotiations” sales strategy…
But where did POGS come from?
They appeared fully formed from the ether in a time travel experiment, it was weird.
Didn’t they come as a gift in potato chips bags? Although those were the cheap cardboard ones.
And that’s why you don’t think about time travel.
it was the 90s then all of a sudden everyone had pogs no one remembers ever buying them yet there they were in every house across the nation listening watching waiting then they were gone poof like that with just a few stragglers left behind to keep a eye one us
I remember buying MORE POGs after already having some, but not the first batch of them. Also, they’re apparently still popular in other countries; Mexico had a set to promote the Angry Birds movie in 2015. I’m scared.
Milk Caps… From what I’ve heard the first Pogs were the cardboard caps from milk shiped in glass bottles… Also, I still have my Pogs floating around in my house somewhere… I think they’re upstairs with Pennywise…
They were from Passionfruit-Orange-Guava juice, that was where the name “POG” came from.
Yup. Popular bottled drink in Hawaii & other Polynesian islands. Quite tasty, and the island kids used the little cardboard seals to play the game.
Tartarus the deepest part of the underworld where the Titans are imprisoned.
Noooo. That’s where the lego you stepped on at three in the morning on our way to the toilet came from.
gonna show I’m super old here(well not “super”, but gettin’ up there)… … …they were bottle tops from glass milk and juice bottles (never trust a kid using a Snapple lid as a slammer). Kids will play with anything…and someone eventually noticed those kids playing and decided to try selling them those same caps…without the bottle…for twice the price!
Yeah, but these ones had rejected, prog rock album art printed on them.
Or Alf.
Do you remember Alf?
He’s back, but in pog form.
I could swear that’s a Simpsons quote.
It is.
How is he not good enough to fight? He’s able to train
xenomorphsEaster crabs!He also beat all those animatronics to death.
There’s the problem, Jared doesn’t fight until pushed in a corner, his instinct is to nurture.
But when he does fight he is a top class badass. Predators would love to challenge him to a pokemon match.
D-do ten-year-old predators get sent out to train Pokémon?
Is there a Predator Pokémon League?
Sending someone else to fight for you don’t seem like the Predator culture.
Predators ARE Pokemon
But how do you get them into those tiny balls?
If there isn’t, there SHOULD be!
A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.
But a skilled Roy can beat any Fox.
1v1 final destination no items school flagpole
So the Yautja are basically the species equivalent of bored college students.
This explains so much.
More like bored rich guys hunting big game to feel like a real man.
I see what you did there nice burn.
But how do you explain the rubik’s cube? The Matrix is the only explanation.
Probably just a toy the Cenobites left behind.
I love y’all.
Strangely enough, I thought that it came from the Plane of Mechanus. In the RPG game, Planescape: Torment, the Modrons built the Rubicon within the Limbo Plane…
Ever seen the movie “Cube”? Imagine that deathtrap designed for a smaller species. It got separated from the rest of the penal colony in transit and would up on Earth.
Or Rubik invented it. One of those.
This is absolutely glorious…
Or Rubik discovered it, and in standard fashion for humans, named it after himself and patented it.
I’ll bet those Kung Lao flying death-discs from Predator 2 would make for an intense game of Ultimate Frisbee.
The Highlander-type Immortals have effectively banned that game. They protested with signs that read “Don’t lose your head over a game.”
Now you’re just being confusing. This guy came with the Commander from the future to give Jared an object lesson in not being speciecist or what? I also claim that if not for the honor code that governs them (can’t strike first against perceived non-combatant), they would quickly find out just how impossibly difficult Jared is to kill/maim/whatnot.
I think he’s just hangin’. Commander’s friends are pretty diverse, no reason for him not to have a couple Yautja buddies.
My point was he would have to have come from the future where they are already total bros with the humans.
Unrelated: When does Jared get to go to the future?
Hmmm, this got me thinking, do the Yautja get invited to the Olympics? Is there a special section of the Olympics where genetically modified humans compete against humanoid alien species? Do the Olympics even exist in Rock Lobster’s original time? So many Olympics related questions!
…
Also, I have a feeling that game is going to last for several days and turn into a war of attrition.
They probably aren’t even Trying to call out the Space Commies on drugging and steroiding up their contestants…
I was thinking…maybe it’s more of a team deathmatch thing. Every bunch of yeatr, a cool place is picked, both sides sendd teams, and each of them they try to hunt the members of the other, life and en directo for all the galaxy!
It may not be sportsman-like to fight Jared, but I’m pretty sure Mr. Fish evens the odds pretty well.
Mister Fish would be quite a trophy.
The laws of the multiverse state that something that cool can only be made into a trophy by an unworthy hunter with no respect. Mr fish will never be a trophy
I just had a beautiful mashup of the Princess Bride with the comic, with The Preditor serving as Fezik
LOL who’s Vezzini, Inigo and Wesley then?
Vezzini would be played by Yodas younger brother
I bet he’s losing because he isn’t even clicking sassy things at the commander.
Imagine their trophy walls now that nonviolent competition has been added, probably looks like one of those high school trophy cases mixed with H.R. Geiger’s rumpus room.
How very human-centric of you…
It’s the same trophy rooms, just if you have a human skull you’re either a murderer or it’s a heirloom.
… now that I thought about it, I can’t unsee that the Predator is wearing hotpants. Helpme
Wearing hotpants – and a fishnet shirt.
I just noticed the Predators have always worn Hot Pants…
Nice body, shame about the face.
What a fekkin’ awesome concept.
This is the most adorable thing involving a Predator I’ve ever seen.
In my head, just like in all the predator movies, we got sick of loosing massive teams of soldiers to a single predator. So they finally sent Commander in to fight one on one. But rather than a fight to the death it turned into predator constantly having HIS elaborate traps and weapons out smarted by the Commander, who rather than ending in a fight to the death B just ends up using his mad dad skills until predator finally gives in and begrudgingly becomes his friend.
They’re ALL survivor-y. What HE’S got is strawberry jam!
probably Commander offered a rasberry jam sandwich and got the trade relationsrunning in the first place
argh, i mean Strawberry
He probably has raspberry jam too
Imagine intergalactic policies being settles over a game of Magic.
Interesting…
Delegations determined by D&D dungeoncrawls?
Trade agreements settled with trivia games?
I like the implication that Jared is unsportsmanlike to fight because either a. he’s a protected member of the team or b. more likely, because he’s small but he cheats. A lot. He’s like the Sans of the comic. Just… loopholes everywhere. “You said ‘fight to the death.’ You never said I couldn’t travel to a future where you had already succumbed to old age.” “Y’know, he’s technically correct. You can’t even say I interfered with yer fight because I only took him there for the tacos.”
It’s my birthday today! Will you send Mr Fish a kiss from me? XD
Kinda remember a silly theory I saw on twitter that amused me that generally the Preds are as/more civilised as us, and the Preds we see in the movies are the kind of weekend warrior types who go out into backwoods to hunt bears with Bows And Arrows, and in particular and the pred that got beaten by Dutch was as much a laughing stock as we’d regard one of the aforementioned bow and arrow dudes getting mauled by a bear.
