Classic Film. Are you sure you a thirty plus year old man? You have the taste of a 14 year old fangirl.
Ripely is also unlikely as hero and you call me a girl. Quit being feminine and liking feminine franchises.

You were right in only that Aliens is much better than Alien. Other than that you obviously have no idea what makes a good movie if you don't understand the concept of an unlikely hero. And if you can't appreciate Ripley walking around her spacecraft in her underwear than I can't even consider you a real man.

Dutch is a real hero who is believable going up against an extraterrestrial. Ripley isn't, toolbag.
Alien and Aliens are so different though. Each is great in their own category.
You just can't beat the suspense and horror in the first movie. Its almost perfection. I hate movies that take too long to show a monster, but this was executed flawlessly IMHO. I watched this when I was like 8 or 9 and had already seen the xenomorph in Alien 3 and Aliens, but the tension in Alien still built up quite well to the point I was still scared shitless of the actual alien.

WTF?
They're a race of beings that pre-date humans.
They achieved technology for interstellar travel while humans were still in the stone age.
Compared to the Star Trek verse, Predators are a warrior race with superior weaponry & fighting skills.
Me thinks he was talking about the xenomorphs. The xenomorphs are very smart predators. Problem they faced against the predators is that the predators are even better predators(duh lol) because they are intelligent like humans(or more so) and they devote their entire lives to hunting. Not to mention they have extensive knowledge on the xenomorphs and most races.
Me thinks Wolf will engage Khan in H2H sooner than later. He will probably be tempted by Khan's physicality. Then again who knows with Wolf's no non-sense get the job done attitude.

But let's delve into this ridiculous notion of comparing Predators to the Star Trek films in terms of technology.
Yes, they are a warrior race who haven't progressed much in hundreds of years. Star Trek universe have developed teleportational techniques and red matter capable of destroying entire worlds. Sorry, but in terms of tech it isn't even close.
Khan has been shown to be far superior to anything any Predator has done on screen. Take away the Predators toys and he throws haymakers like a sloppy oversized professional wrestler. Khan both has more skill, better tech at his disposal, and a far greater Dreadnaught ship than anything we have seen offensively from the Predators ships.

When has Khan shown any hunting skill? Wolf would probably pick him off from afar before Khan even knows what happened. That's the Predator M.O. when hunting an armed opponent.

Khan would kill the Predator before he knew what hit him. What's worse is the Predators vision is highly exploitable making him even easier prey once Khan was made aware of this.

Khan would never see Wolf coming. Wolf cloaks and snipes him as per the Predator "go-to" approach regarding armed targets. Khan may have a shot in round 2, I honestly dunno either way, but he loses 10/10 in round 1
