Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

[Pro Bot]

Alien sound effects in a Predator short. Not gonna lie, it's confusing.

Uhhh, I don't think I caught any dates or whatnot, but there was a version of MU/TH/UR in the film. Apologies.

It's fine! Obviously they avoided showing when on purpose.

Maybe when the film comes out on home media/Disney+, we'll be able to properly analyse it.

 

[Pro Bot]

It's probably just 4381+.

It's probably just 4381+.

Fair enough, though considering that last we heard of Wey-Yu was Walmart buying them out, it begs the question of how they came back from that.

And that's even assuming it's post Alien Resurrection. For all we know, it could be between 3 and Resurrection, but maybe once the tie-in comic comes out, we'll get some answers on potential placements.

Spoiler: badlands

was there anything you noticed possibly tying it to killer of killers, maybe indicating how long has passed since then to give us more of a proper placement for that?

The official statement places it after Alien: Resurrection, and Weyland-Yutani came back afterwards, per the expanded universe (which this director has openly acknowledged).

hmmm, interesting that he agreed with that list when it places predators in the early 2010s

the placement in the video is early 2000s but after AVPs. Dan said "so, I think this order is accurate" not "it's accurate" he just skimmed through it, such interviews have an amount of time for them so ye probably didn't catch that.

Even if he did, it's not worth clarifying... and even if he thought that was correct, he can be mistaken.
