Is ACM considered canon?

[Janek]

And the main protagonist.

It is debatable tbh.

Other than being played by Sigourney Weaver, Ripley 8 has nothing in common with OG Ripley.

[SM]

Nothing? Seriously?

[Local Trouble]

I hate AR too, but Ripley 8 had Ripley's memories and the other characters even called her Ripley.

It's stupid, but for all intents and purposes she was Ripley back from the dead.

AR was unnecessary and shouldn't have exist. Didn't add anything good to the franchise.

What about the newborn?

No film is necessary, unless it has Ron Perlman in it.

Ipso facto.

[Local Trouble]

AR's only value was in confirming that the derelict was no longer a source of viable eggs.

[Janek]

No film is necessary, unless it has Ron Perlman in it.

Ipso facto.

Ngl Ron Perlman owns the screen in every movie he's in.

I know there's all this talk about ACM being cannon or not, but that doesn't matter but really matter, is Alien Blackout canon?
At least in your head Canon 

[SM]

Probably.
