Damn dude, solid find #2! That's so legit, and it totally clears up at least one of the lingering questions (among myriad) about the veracity of the 17 weeks later vs 17 days later time setting of Col
Marines.It was knowingly intentional on their part, at least according Matt Powers. I also appreciate him not taking Zamora's bait to disrespect the many creators and fans of Alien 3; pretty classy on his part. But how does this clip relate again? I think I missed something.

Thanks. I think there's some more if I recall. Will have to take a deep dive soon.
Yeah man, please do! My curiosity is stoked now, and so far you're 2 for 2.

In regards to bearing on anything, regardless if we like it or not, Shane Black's efforts are canon, until it's not. But I'm betting it will always be, considering Predator Hunting Grounds built on top of it with Stargazer, Dutch's return, S. Keyes etc... while conveniently forgetting the hybridization (thank goodness).
Ha, aww man, I like the body modification stuff! Depending on how all of those story threads could have developed, I can totally believe how one powerful Yaut clan could see another powerful clan's practices in genetic modification as some kind of unholy defilement of their race's "purity". perhaps we'll never know, it's all just musings killed in the cradle thus far.
I also appreciate Hunting Grounds' efforts not to similarly disrespect the many creators and fans of The Predator; very classy on Illfonic's part, as well.

One must have some standards rather than it being open slather.
Ha, you think it's openly...
slatherly(?) to maintain ambiguity in a story? (I tease, I tease)
We comprehend the standards you're applying to your rationale, and no harm nor threat is intended toward the fashion of those practices. If I'm not mistaken, I believe all we're saying is that the style of those practices are more doctrinal than they are dogmatic. But yeah dude, like I said, the reasoning for your theory is solid. I like it.

If Black gave dates for Predators and The Predator then that would obviously be seriously considered - particularly if it conforms to what's on screen. Has he ever said when The Predator takes place?
For sure, in the clip above, that
Voodoo posted, Black specifically says his movie takes place in 2018.
