Well as Billy was prepared to face the Predator, in the first film, King Willy knew what was coming and in my opinion, chose an honorable death. Of course those two senses are similar in that a battle never even ensues and they are both dead before the audience knows what happens.
I think facing certain death has something to do with having quite a nihilist, yet realistic perspective. You can always call it bravery, but I guess you never know till you are there.
