Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

[JudgeDreddpool]

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16NoCMmX1R/Ms. Yutani short came out. So... the Yutani Corporation was the one that sent out the ship that crashes on Earth a long time ago, huh? It all makes sense that Yutani would be the ones to first start making spaceships and whatnot, considering they acquired alien technology back in 2004.

Just saying, the continuity of this franchise is actually very consistent.

And yet the Franchise Consultant keeps denying that Alien and Predator aren't in the same universe. Ironic.

Dan also implied that we could see other 20th Century Studios-owned alien skulls. Avatar would actually be a perfect match in my opinion.

Ha, that would be a hilarious "take that"

He's just a guy who worked on the RPG, literally no one should care what he has to say. No offence to him, his work on the RPG is very good, but it's obvious that he was told they're separate franchises and not to reference them because Free League Publishing don't have the rights to Predator, not because they're separate universes.

He can describe himself as a very important person, but it's clear that he has no right to enforce his will when creatives on the books, comics, games and, evidently, movies decide to connect the two.

Ha, that would be a hilarious "take that"

Both are James Cameron. It'd be a pretty perfect fit.

@Pro Bot speaking of the Slasherverse, have you considered the Leprechaun reference in the Behind the Mask short film? (I know I mentioned it a while ago but I just remembered it and I'm itching for an answer now)

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, it probably counts as a valid reference.

 

[stphylcccs]

Sorry for haggling about it over a completely irrelevant thread, but have you also considered the Crow, Spawn, Fright Night and Jack Chop references I mentioned? (The former 2 having comic crossovers, Charley Brewster appearing in Crystal Lake Massacres Revisited, and Jack Chop being somewhat prominent in the Hatchet franchise)

 

[Megatron]

Hence why there's a separate thread for the shared universe, which is chock full of technological inconsistencies

the headcanon thread is to see how all the referenced franchaises would look if they were all set in the same universe, that's why it's called HEADcanon.

It's no way official. But it's fun to look at!

Do you know how that would work out time travel wise?

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Arkhamverse non-canoners literally try and argue that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't canon because they don't like it. I know it's a bad game, but there's literally no reason to be upset at it anymore. The story worked itself out and it's fine, everyone is fine. Even Robin is probably secretly fine. Lex Luthor is dead, sure, but who cares about Arkhamverse Lex Luthor anyway? He's only appeared in a voice message prior to this game.

>everyone is fine

... except that Wonder Woman is still dead since she was never captured/cloned, and the JL's reputation is down the ******* thanks to the clones Brainiac made of them. Not sure how you can call that a "happy ending".

Besides, game's still *******, and the way that clone-Batman (yes, technically we didn't know it was a clone at the time, but still...) was killed off was a spit in the face of OG Arkhamverse fans that really showed just how much Rocksteady had declined.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

I feel probably the worst franchise for it is Star Wars. Yeah, the sequels were terrible, but they're still canon

Ugh, don't remind me of those awful films. I feel disgusted by the fact that they exist, same with award-bait slop like The Last of Us II.

 

[Megatron]

The 1st 2 episodes of the alien series are out.

 

[Pro Bot]

What? Nah, they come out on the 12th I'm pretty sure.

 

[stphylcccs]

I haven't seen most of the Alien franchise, other than the first, would you say Earth spoils Prometheus/Romulus, or would it be better to watch those first?

I doubt it's got any narrative connection, but I mean... watch them anyway. I personally think they're good.

 

[stphylcccs]

I'll binge the rest of the Predator movies, then I'll watch the Alien prequels.
I need a break from Pixar shorts anyway…

Make sure to watch the shorts too. They actually add quite a bit.

In my opinion the Death Race series is also a good watch as expanded universe material

 

[stphylcccs]

Pixar shorts? Yeah, I've just done a binge of the Toy Story ones, and surprisingly was able to place exact dates for 2 of them

 

[Pro Bot]

Oh no, I meant when watching Alien stuff. I know you're adding the Pixar shorts, I've seen your timeline.

 

[stphylcccs]

Ah, of course. I'm obsessed with absorbing all content there is (though I think I've bored my brother with them as he's lost interest in watching Jurassic World, pretty sure I broke him after 30 minutes of a Quetzalcoatlus doing literally nothing)

 

[stphylcccs]

Just watched Prey and wow that was not what I was expecting. I can't believe I lost interest in this franchise…

Hard Core From Penthouse to Slaughterhouse: A Special Report

Could you send a link to this please? I can't find it anywhere

 

[Pro Bot]

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Just watched Underwater. I find it hilarious that the AvP universe also happens to have CTHULHU of all beings in it as well. XD

 

[stphylcccs]

Honestly, I wouldn't put it past it…

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

At this point, Tian Industries are definitely in the same vibe as Wey-Yu.

 

[Pro Bot]

I mean, the guy with the Weyland Corp belt had a diary with Cthulhu drawings in it. Tian Industries are probably part of the Cult of Cthulhu.

cant seem to find the last weyland 2 files anywhere atm

 

[Pro Bot]

Those other two are on the blu-ray. It's where the Blade Runner reference came from.

Like this.
