Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

[styphlcccs]

I was browsing some of the comics on this timeline, and wow they're a lot cheaper than I expected. This might be the second franchise I go deep into (the first being Star Wars - which I'm still on the second piece of media, what with the fact that if I miss even a day of reading a book, I'll lose interest for months)

Predators: Moments of Extraction: Isabelle
Predators: Moments of Extraction: Cuchilld
Predators: Moments of Extraction: Hanzo
Predators: Moments of Extraction: Mombasa

Could you provide links for these please?

They're technically part of Moments of Extraction, but I separated it for the benefit of the viewing order (they can be seen in 2010 rather than 2024). Just ignore the start and end of that short and you should be fine.

Apparently they are hidden somewhere online too, but I gave up. My friend says he has a link so I'll ask him. They're on the Predators blu-ray.

Worse is the space travel aspect, since one of Yutani's earliest ships launched in 2055. Blade Runner suggests a more advanced technological timeline.

Now I just remembered that Marvel's Predator comics have off-world colonies in the 2040s, so... I guess that wouldn't actually be a Blade Runner contradiction either.

In 20 years, Predator films set in present day are gonna be a little funny considering that there's space travel and androids running around.

I thought The Predator was the main problem with including Blade Runner (I haven't seen either but the technological advancements by 2014 clash I believe)

Technically speaking, they don't contradict each other since we don't see the same locations. Los Angeles could look like Blade Runner during 2018 as long as we don't physically see it. There's nothing in The Predator that states that space travel isn't happening either, nor genetically engineered humans.

I have a list of the connections and contradictions in a spoiler tag, regardless.

Of note, Predator: Concrete Jungle, set in 2030, has flying cars and is set in a Blade Runner style city.

The real main issue is rights differences, honestly.

Thinking about it, now that cyborgs are canon, Cygnus from Aliens: What If...? could potentially be a replicant (he was called one multiple times) who was made into a cyborg (he has white blood). Possibly literally Iggy Cygnus from Blade Runner: Black Out 2022 due to the name and shared background. I suppose the cybernetics would likely keep him alive for over a century.

it's actually more likely imo considering shane black seemed to take into account the idea of humans sending criminals to planets for predators to hunt by 2024

If you are referring to Predators then I'm pretty sure the Super Predators were doing the abductions on their own.
