History Heartwarming / Predator2

* The Predator [[spoiler: murdering Mike's partner and best friend Danny]] is what makes his pursuit personak, but after catching it in the act of [[spoiler: ripping out Jerry Lambert’s head and spine]] Harrigan goes full-blown {{determinator}} against the alien, showing just how much [[spoiler: “The Lone Ranger”]] had grown on him.

* This also doubles as NightmareFuel, but the way Danny is killed by the Predator could be considered heartwarming in a very BlueAndOrangeMorality kind of way. It is said that Danny was "boned like a fish," which implies that the Predator took his skull as a trophy, and according to the expanded material only the worthiest prey deserves such an honour. Yep, Danny might have died horribly at the hand of an alien hunter, but he died with honour in its eyes.

* Harrigan's award of a 18th century flintlock pistol -- possibly taken from a past worthy prey? -- qualifies. Given it's seemingly pristine condition, it's bound to be worth a pretty penny.
** The comic reveals that the pistol came from [[FireForgedFriends a ship's captain the Predator fought alongside against mutineers]]. After killing the pirates, the two were supposed to [[DuelToTheDeath duel against each other]], but a surviving pirate shot the captain before they could do so. With his dying breath, the captain gives the Elder his pistol before succumbing to his wounds. As a sign of respect, Greyback buries him and leaves his prized sword at his grave. Normally, Predators would not leave their technology lying around, but Greyback is willing to break that rule to show his respect to the man.
** In fact, Greyback's "Take it" to Harrigan was what a dying Raphael Adolini said when he gave the pistol to ''him''.
** ''Film/Prey2022'' retcons this, but it doesn't become any less heartwarming. [[spoiler: The pistol was taken from a French Trapper by that film's protagonist, Naru, and the credits of that film depict several ships worth of Predators descending upon Naru's tribe -- perhaps this is an indication that she made it out alright.]]
* The Predator [[spoiler: [[PetTheDog sparing Leona]] when it saw that she was pregnant]].
* Mike’s pursuit of the Predator after it [[spoiler: murdered his partner and best friend Danny]] was what made it personal to him, but after catching it in the act of [[spoiler: ripping out Jerry Lambert’s head and spine]] Harrigan goes full blown determinator against the alien, showing just how much [[spoiler: “The Lone Ranger”]] had grown on him.
* Pope, the annoying reporter. Despite him being a general all around sleaze ball, and highly critical of the police in the ongoing drug war, he did refer to the death of Danny as the killing of one of L.A.'s finest.
