The Yatuja believe that the only honor that matters is in your hunting prowess, literally every Yatuja has never lost a fight because they always fight to the death. They absolutely think it’s an honor to be brought to Yautja Prime to fight against their leader, which is why they do that instead of just killing the people who beat a Predator. That’s a huge sign of respect from them

I just feel like if they were acting honorably, they would have invited the victors instead of kidnapping them via what I assume was a cowardly ambush (based off the fact they have no memory of it), and freezing them until their loved ones were dead.

The Yautja have no concept of “loved ones”. It is specifically brought up that Dek’s older brother is a failure because he is protecting his weaker brother instead of culling him for the strength of the clan. You’re using human emotional logic to justify your opinions instead of following Predator logic. The vast majority of Yautja would be champing at the bit to fight to prove they can beat the warlord. I still contend these humans have been given an incredible honor in Yautja society

Well you just brought up they do have familial feelings. They just choose a culture centered around pointless murder around the galaxy.

If they thought it was an honor, why kidnap them? Surely they would come willingly?

A warrior’s face is the same, regardless of whether or not they chose to be in the situation they are in.
… or something like that.

One mans kidnapping is anothers escorting.

Why would you care about a lesser species’ opinion? Why would you hold them to a lower standard than you hold yourself?

Gotta disengage those mamallian parts of your brain, just use the newer, fancier bits, and the more basal, reptillian bits.
