Bishop/Weyland Question (may contain spoilers) (Read 2,165 times)

Warning: This may contain spoilers, but I think you guys have all seen the flicks.

So, my question is: Being that AVP is a prequel to the ALIENS moveis and a sequel to the PREDATOR movies (If that is the case)--How is it that Weyland dies by the hand of a Predator in AVP, and then reappears in ALIEN 3? I'm assuming that the Lance Henrickson character in ALIEN 3 is Weyland because he says he is not the android, he "built it".

So, is this a plot hole, or is AVP a sequel to the ALIENS series, or is the Lance Henrickson character in ALIEN 3 just another android that built the android from ALIENS?  ???

Well...Weyland made the company but Michael built the Bishop models. They just happen to look the same...that's all...that's all...sure...yeah...*looks around nervously*

It's obvious what Anderson tried to imply, but many fans reject it... though admittedly with good reason.  The filmmakers of Alien 3 said Bishop was human, but Anderson and Lance Henrickson both stated otherwise.  It makes since both ways, and the fanbase is split about the issue.  ...So believe what you will.

I predict the usuals on this issue will come and say it's only one way and not worth discussion. :)

I thought it was "Charles" Bishop Weyland?

I'm sure there are other people like me who hate AvP but it is, sadly, canon. I'm sure other people will say the same about your statement.

Fans say whats canon or not, FOX do not.

It's Fox's prerogative to say what is and isn't canon.  Sadly they've yet to exercise it.

So if fans wanted to revolt and say Predator isn't canon...then it isn't? ::)

SM

That's not what he said.

Since Fox has never done like Paramount or Lucasfilm and said "THIS is canon, and THIS isn't" it's up to the fans to work out what they include or not.
