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

[SiL]

Do I still have to pay GST on that?

Is it time Local changed to a Doug Quaid avatar?

[Local Trouble]

It irks me that people shove Blade Runner in there though. How is that more canon than AvP? And I love Blade Runner!

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

Spoiler

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.

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?

Search.  As for the database, I'm still collating.

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

That's a bit hard for a Nexus 5, so allow me:

  haha thank you!

I don't worry about canon. I revel in the NES games, Kenner figures, and the 5 alternate fates (at least) of Corporal Hicks.

Its not that Blade Runner is litterly canon, its that things from it do happen, though probably differently.  Think of it like this, if you saw MK11 story mode, its all about the multiverse, and in those infinite universes, lots of Raiden, he does similar things in some, and others he is radically different, hell theirs a couple universes where Raiden looks and sounds like the Highlander.

Which things?

[Darth Rinzler]

Which things?

For sure that the company from Blade Runner exists, the guy from the series that made the company exists, he made replicants.  Thats all we know.

[Local Trouble]

How do we know these things?

[Darth Rinzler]

How do we know these things?

because the 3d version of Prometheus disc has those things mentioned, also Peter Weyland hates the guy that made Replicants and he thinks they are an abomination compared to androids.

[Samhain13]

Huh.

[Local Trouble]

Time for a new canon war?

[Samhain13]

I'm always ready for it.

That was done for fun for the disc, not an official thing.

No we do not.
