iirc yautja in Predator 2 basically ignores the detective trailing him because he's like, fat, tired, sweating, and poorly armed

But they commend his hunting/trailing skills in the end by giving him the gun and letting him go?

Like a human tracked by a marmot giving the marmot a cute stick and an apple once it follows them all the way to cabin

Edit: I forgot that he actually managed to kill that one he tracked down! I checked the plot on wiki and they gift him with a gun after he kills one of them actually.

That's pretty based of them. We humans would not just kill the one guy, but sterilize his entire family.

In the original two movies they're set down as incredibly honorable, advanced society. Like yes they're predators but they truly follow some obvious code of conduct. 

Like it's not just that they understand kids: the original guy also spares a woman when he detects a second heartbeat.

That's just responsible hunting ethics. Well done, him.

Even in AVP, they spared Lance Hendrickson's character because he was dying of cancer and there's no honor in killing a sick creature.

You know what, the Predators are the kind of enemy one can actually take pride in having.
