Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

tbh the crossovers are such isolated incidents that could be canon in the main timeline, if not for one thing....

Marvel's multiverse listing, putting some crossovers in one reality and some others in another, making all the other crossovers canonicity in doubt.

You could ofc ignore it (and If I'd make a guide for the canon AVP Universe, I'd probably put the crossovers within the main universe) but then, you'll be go against the whole marvel multiverse listing, so yeah, that sucks.

Technically Earth-1987 might not be a canon number. We'll see.
 
tho speaking on the DC side, in the Batman Chronology Project they say that Batman versus Predator is canon in the DC's Post-Crisis Universe and they even say that if you want you can count all the AVP media as canon too as they fit, so yeah...

Maybe the DC Crossovers are actual canon, but it's still iffy.
 
Personally I think that canonically (so not in the headcanon) the franchaises that are canon are:

Alien.
Predator.
Blade Runner.
Soldier.
Underwater.
Outland.
Terminator (Only the crossover, so not the whole franchaise).
Indipendence Day.
Death Race (Only the Reboot Universe).

yes, but we still have Earth-94415 and Earth-7642... so yeah.

"Earth-1987", Earth-7642, and Earth-94415 could all be the setting for Alien vs. Captain America.

It's complicated due to the fact that the Batman/Aliens crossover acts as a sequel to an Aliens comic.

I wouldn't want to go that far, but noted. I suppose Terminator in this case suggests that AVP is one of the many branched realities.

Honestly, I really hate that what potential The Predator could've had got squandered over the whole "aUTIsm iS tHe NeXt sTEp iN HUmAn eVOLutIoN" bullshit, not to mention that whole DNA harvesting shit that they tried to retcon into the Predator lore (headcanon-wise, it's only a clan of Bad Bloods doing so, and no-one else).

I 100% agree with everything you typed. In my head canon the super Predators and the Assassin Predator are bad bloods working together. Nolan says in Predators they get interested when they are defeated. To me that means they are collecting DNA via the preserve planet. The Fugitive was just another victim like the Classic Predator in Predators.
 
For Blade Runner and Death Race being included I honestly don't know enough about either property to have an opinion on it. But the more the merrier if it fits! (I should watch both...)

I love the idea of adding Soldier and Underwater to the mix.

Blade Runner and Soldier are intrinsically linked, so package deal.
