    Sorry, but I try to see a scenario in my mind and it just sort of fades on me...

    Damn it Deki, now you've raised another point to confuse me. I really can't picture them going after each other. Unless... Indy was after something buried in the AvP temple and Ripley was all "just blow the god damn thing up!" Nah, that's not even hugely plausible. Harungah.
    We could just settle it all and assume we're talking about Alien Resurrection Ripley, in which case she'd just bleed on him and all would be over. Dang.
    That however, would make her non-human

    Humans IMO have more mental capacity than the Xenomorphs. Yes, I know they've shown signs of intelligence such as using shadows well and in AR when they killed one of their own so the floor would dissolve with acid blood. But c'mon in the main they are pretty fcuking stupid. Take Aliens for example, a sea of them just kept coming and coming even though a lot of them were being taken out by the remote controlled machine guns.

    Indy would have taken the Xenomorphs that Ripley did, and he wouldn't have found himself impregnated by them while doing it either. ;)

    When has indy shown he could deal with countless numbers of enemies?

    Xenomorphs are the ultimate killers, the ultimate prey and are tough to kill without getting hurt.

    Added to that, they wanna make babies with your face.

    And ripley took them down. On four seperate occasions. A task which even the mighty predators found challenging.

    Indy cant even survive a nuke without a refridgerator.

    Let's look at the times Ripley has taken down Xenomorphs;

    She's a natural survivor but that requires an awful amount of luck. Like having a space station full of guns and ammo to hold off Hordes (Aliens), was able to destroy the Queen by killing herself (Alien 3 - and she was fcuked anyway so bravery doesn't come into it), and was able to stay alive for so long in AR because she was connected by blood to the Queen as well as the hybrid.

    Human Ripley (and we are talking about the original Ripley, this after all *is* the Human League) IMO is great, but would she have achieved what she did if all she had was a gun, a whip and her smarts? I don't think so. In a basic fight Jones IMO would win.

    That's a textbook case of hive intelligence. Aliens don't give a damn about an individual xeno. It is the survival of the hive that is important. They would gladly sacrifice countless numbers of their own to simply waste the enemy's ammunition.
    You are just lucky the Tyranids aren't here!

    Selfless Xenos? You give the hive too much credit good sir! What about that Xeno that was wimpering like a biatch when his "hive" decided to sacrifice him in Alien Resurrection so they could escape? That Xeno didn't seem too happy to die in order for his fellow Xenos to survive! :p

    Look, its easy to kill one xeno, but its impossible to stop them all...which is what ripley did.

    Its easy to stop nazi's...sure the allies did that no bother.

    Taking out all those aliens is fantastic, but that isn't who Ripley is fighting now. She's up against another human.: One that I think is quite a lot like her. Is this a fight to the death or just till one says "uncle"? ( I just don't know if she would do it- it's not that I think she couldn't.) :(
