"Near the end of this century we’re in” - FX CEO Landgraf Talks Time Setting

[Nukiemorph]

The surprises:

The aliens in the show come from DNA obtained from the AVP pyramid.

The main characters are the ancestors of the Marvel comics characters.

The characters discuss the human-Predator war that was set up in The Predator and how the Predator Killer armor saved the day.

David made the aliens, and he used engineer time-travel tech to bring aliens to the past.

David is the space jockey.

[Local Trouble]

So you're proposing that it'll be another one of Hawley's mental illness simulators?

[Voodoo Magic]

I smell a retcon!

I may be in the minority, but I'd like someone to explain to me why David looks so happy in this shot? 

[Nightmare Asylum]

The Alien DNA comes from transmissions to SETI with a set on instructions on how to combine it with huma... wait a minute!

[Immortan Jonesy]

David sending the blueprint to SETI!

Also it's like one of my favorites movies!

Takes place around the same time as Prometheus.

It's going to take place before David created the aliens?

David did not create the Aliens.

Unironically 100% on board with this crossover.

[SiL]

I would 100% rather watch that as a series.

[Immortan Jonesy]

A Giger-style succubus in the Alien canon? It sounds too good to be true.

[St_Eddie]

Didn't that ship already sail in 2004 when PWSA bestowed AvP upon humanity?

Not for people like me who don't consider the AVP movies to be canonical to the Alien series.  Having the Alien face off against the Predator is just an absurd "What If", like Robocop Vs Terminator, or Ronald McDonald Vs The Burger King.

Of course, Larroca half-assed his one.

Ups! I had forgotten that one

I don't remember the exact tracing-material (I guess Sil + Tim Curry in 'Legend' ) but it reminds me of the lizard people from the Ubaid mythology.

[Stitch]

End of this century feels way too soon to have aliens on earth. Jury's out until I've seen it, though, maybe it won't be terrible.

[Nukiemorph]

You have to wonder why he's setting it so early.

Hopefully this isn't another attempt at an origin story that nobody wants...
