Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

When in the timeline did it happen you think?

More on that, if the war that killed off the majority of animal populations happened before The Predator, then that's a crazy amount of either replicant dogs or natural-born ones featured in said film.

Also, Judge Dredd versus Predator mentions a different WW3 to the Third Terran War.

That different WW3 is probably the Atomic Wars of 2070 initiated by President Robert L. Booth:

Not to mention the fact that in 2000AD lore, Britain was invaded by the Volgans (the former Soviet Union) in 1999.

Personally, I felt that anything relating to Judge Dredd or any other 2000AD property should be considered not set in the main AvP universe, since there's just too much contradictions for them to work. And considering that Alien: Earth is gonna be a prequel to the movies... well, you can probably understand my thoughts on wanting to separate the 2000AD crossovers to a new timeline for Judge Dredd and other comic strips.

Same would ideally suffice for any of the Top Cow Productions comics (Witchblade and The Darkness specifically).

Speaking of, began looking into the novels for placement notes. Gonna start with the Alien novels and go from there.

Set in 2159 between Alien and Aliens

Set in 2496, years after Alien Resurrection
https://avp.fandom.com/wiki/Alien:_Sea_of_Sorrows
Set before and concurrent to Aliens, showing the fall of Hadley's Hope in more detail compared to how the movies mentions

Technically the only thing that would count would be the brief reference to the "Great Atom War" that left New York devastated. Actually, the world is very ****** up in the Blade Runner series as it stands anyway. You wouldn't be counting the entire Judge Dredd continuity beyond the crossover material because that is obviously a very different world. It would be much different to suggest Judge Dredd is the same universe as AVP than to suggest that the crossover materials inhabit the world of Judge Dredd and AVP as separate entities.

 

[Pro Bot]

Said crossover references both Dutch Schaefer and the Predator attack in New York, presumably the events of the 1989 Predator comic. At least, that's my interpretation.


Lol, what? Documentary movies? Reminds me of the Doctor Who tie-in videos that have the actual Doctor Who show existing in-universe.

Megatron has some novel material in the expanded Terminator/RoboCop timeline.

Megatron has some novel material in the expanded Terminator/RoboCop timeline.

i have also other games listed there that aren't here.

Tecnically only the 2004 game for now. As the others are adaptations.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Got my ticket for Alien Romulus tomorrow. Reviews have been positive. Wish me luck in that this film is good.

Considering how awesome Alien Romulus was, I say this is...

 

[Raylauncher]

I really liked Romulus (I only had minor issues), I only saw Alien 1 and 2 and played Isolation a few times, but I loved how it was a love letter to basically those that know these material. Also it seems (to me) that it had ties to Prometheus as well, though I did not see that movie yet.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Yeah, it did. The black goo that Wey-Yu had on the station was the same one from Prometheus (Chemical A0-3959X.91 - 15).

Spoiler

So in Alien: Romulus, was that 117 days after the beginning of the movie, 170 days or 175 days? I honestly can't remember.

Great movie by the way!

 

[Pro Bot]

Nevermind, definitely 170. Found it through, uh... confidential means.

 

[iceman109]

Pre-November 2019. That's all we have to go off of.

Added Outland and the Weyland Industries Corporate Timeline.

Is it possible that the war happened in the 70s or early 80s considering how the UN and mega corps became the last major governing bodies on the planet in the 1980s

Spoiler: Aliens vs. Avengers

Aliens vs. Avengers seems like it should be set in the 2060s, 2070s based on ages. It should be an alternate timeline because of the state of Earth. The Xenomorph takeover should start after the development of Androids. Oh, and my favourite part, I'm pretty sure Peter Weyland is in it, YES!!!

 

[lightsyder]

This site has timeline entries for most if not all of the new era of Alien books from Titan as well as the new Marvel Alien comics. Also some entries for the more recent video games.

https://xenomorphtimeline.com/

Also, this timeline and the discussion are amazing!

 

[Pro Bot]

I'm including Aliens vs Avengers (exact placement unknown) and Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay with "Branched [Year] Timeline" indicators. It's much simpler than including everything up until Aliens on the Alien 3 Timeline.

 

[lightsyder]

There is another prequel short film for Predators called The Chosen. It also covers the back story of some of the characters in the movie. I'm not 100% sure if it contradicts anything established in Moments of Extraction or the prequel comics Welcome to The Jungle and A Predatory Life or not. I need to go back and give it a rewatch to see.

 

[Rojinn]

@Pro Bot why did you include the Marvel Crossovers again?

 

[Megatron]

@Pro Bot why did you include the Marvel Crossovers again?

I think It has to do with deadliest of the species #5

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Just read Blade Runner: Tokyo Nexus #2 and #3. Doesn't seem to be any flashbacks yet.

 

[Megatron]

Wooow the predators started and hunt spree on the Marvel Heroes.

Tho idk why they should be interested on Spider-Man instead of someone Like Captain America.

Forget about Spider-Man. Kraven the Hunter would be more worthy prey for the Predators.

 

[Megatron]

not really, the kraven of now is weird, the kraven of the 60s was just a regular dude, the kraven of the 80s had cancer.

I don't think the predators could find him worthy.

Yeah ik you could say the same thing for Batman, but the difference is that Bruce is always in human peak shape, kraven is not, cos of as i mentioned cancer, and now if i'm not wrong the kraven of today is a clone...

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Forgive me if this suggestion is a bit dumb, but wouldn't it be more feasible to split many of the crossover comics into their respective universes, as opposed to just flinging them onto the main timeline where they'd be contradicted by every other media?

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Also, trying to find a good place to read the novels. If you know anywhere, lemme know @Pro Bot, since I wanna try and pin-down placements for them.
