Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

[JudgeDreddpool]

Would people say I should watch the other Alien movies, then Alien Earth, or would it be okay to just jump straight in?

Just jump in. You won't miss anything by not watching Alien: Covenant, AFAIK.

Too bad the film was absolute dogshite that almost killed the franchise like what The Predator almost did to the Predator franchise.

I kinda like both The Predator and Alien: Covenant, though lesser to the other films.

I think they mean Alien -> Resurrection, and they're doing chronological.

They both have good moments but pale in comparison to other entries in their respective series.

 

[lightsyder]

Anyone have a good master list of the various Alien and Predator shorts, extras, etc that exist? Like all the stuff for Prometheus and Covenant? I'd like to archive them somewhere just in case they ever leave YouTube. I know Earth has quite a few and I've probably missed some.

 

[Pro Bot]

I've started to link them.

The next film should explain why people got so confused, I think.

I think a lot of purists just don't like the two franchises mixing. Personally I love it...lol

I'll have to dig back and grab them for future reference. Thanks!

Ah, righty

I don't hate a single film in this universe, but here's my personal ranking. It's harder to list than you'd think for me. Assume the special edition for every film, though I slightly prefer the theatrical Alien.

01. Alien
02. Predator
03. Predator: Killer of Killers
04. Aliens
05. Prometheus
06. Alien³
07. Alien: Romulus
08. Predators
09. Predator 2
10. Prey
11. Underwater
12 Alien: Covenant
13. AVP: Alien vs. Predator
14. The Predator
15. Alien: Resurrection
16. AVPR: Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem

 

[lightsyder]

AVPR could have been so good if we could have only seen what was going on in it

 

[Pro Bot]

I actually still like AVPR. I personally never had any issues seeing everything, though it is obviously too dark. It's more of a slasher film than your typical Alien instalment.

Alien: Earth isn't planning a crossover with Predator (yet), but showrunner Noah Hawley is talking to Predator: Badlands director - and others

Alien: Earth showrunner Noah Hawley and Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg have had talks about their franchises, but their projects are on "separate tracks" (for now)

www.thepopverse.com

"We [Hawley, Trachtenberg, and Álvarez] talk to the degree that we're trying to avoid duplication of story or inadvertent mimicry," Hawley said, "But in general, they're not all coordinated. What I've suggested, since there's a surprising paucity of mythology in the seven films, other than that there's a company called Weyland-Yutani... I've said, 'Well, you know, so if this show is a prequel to the movies, and I've made some choices about how humanity is organized: it might be helpful if you adopt those [choices] should the issue come up in your films,' Right? But otherwise, we're not really coordinating with each other."

See? It's all canon.

So, I don't know if anyone has read Predator Kills the Marvel Universe yet, but:

Spoiler

1. It's set one year after Predator vs. Spider-Man.
2. Dead Guardians of the Galaxy.
3. Dead Fantastic Four.
