Canon does not exist so... What is YOUR Alien versus Predator canon?

[Immortan Jonesy]

Canon is like science. It is subject to changes and updates. It is not a dogma at all.

[Drukathi]

If this were the case, people would not have raised the stink due to possible retcones.

But every time there is a screech: "No, no, they want to erase my Alien 3, reeeeee."

He's pointing out that a lot of people have a fundamental misconception of what canon is and what it means.

But Alien 3 is the best and deserves to be at the head of the canon

A canon David? Sounds great to me! One more movie with him, please!

[Wweyland]

I don't worry about canon. I revel in the NES games, Kenner figures, and the 5 alternate fates (at least) of Corporal Hicks.
It irks me that people shove Blade Runner in there though. How is that more canon than AvP? And I love Blade Runner!

[SM]

Tres irritating.

There's a lot more than that, in fact- more of a connection than A + P ever had.

Ridley Scott is magnificent with a fantastic writer, the new film requires a writer of Ridley Scott's visual calibre.

Ridley and Villeneuve merging everything into a Blade Runner/Alien crossover is what I personally would want.
To see David walking the rainy city streets of futuristic L.A., vial of hell in hand. So put me down for that.

f**k yes!

I always thought of Blade Runner as a historical background to Alien.
With the Replicants after a rebellion, rewarded recognition of their status as "alive" or human.

Indirectly this would be responsible, in combination with entrepreneur Peter Weyland's death,
for the Weyland Corporation backtracking on "humanisation" of androids- at least in public view.

David and subsequently the Alien, are what happen when an AI no longer is tied to that "leash" of mankind.

Thematics, subject material, depictions of subject material, design language. Retro Futurism. Utilitarian uselessness. Dreams. Dialogue.

Ridley Scott?

Original Alien aesthetic now?
It would be bloody fantastic to see IMO.
People loved it in Isolation, and even items were described as chunky and retro in TCF.
The retrofuturism in general reminds people of Alien and Blade Runner.

[close]

TLDR; A+B > A+P.
IMO obviously.

Did you have to search for that or are you logging all her posts in a database for future reference?

[Corporal Hicks]

He logs everyone's posts.

Trouble, give me my "no memory of this memory" post please.

[SM]

He can remember it for you - wholesale.
