Aliens:Colonial Marines film adaption?

[gameoverman]

If it contradicts a major storyline from a major source (like one of the films), I wouldn't consider it canon.  I would also not consider fan fiction to be canon.

Alien

1.  LV-426 appears to be a moon, not a planet.
2.  The alien has a smooth head.

Aliens

1.  LV-426 graduates to planet status.
2.  The aliens do not have smooth heads anymore.

Alien 3

1.  How did the egg get on the Sulaco?
2.  The smooth head is back.
3.  Two Aliens, one egg.  How does this happen?

Alien Resurrection

1.  In Alien 3, Ripley dies on Fiorina 161.  In Alien Resurrection its called Fury 16.
2.  A guy gets his head punched in by and alien and takes a piece of his brain off to look at it before he dies.  With one swift move, the franchise becomes comical.


You see, each film contradicts the others in places.  Yet, they are all cannon.  Go figure.

EXT. PLANET - NIGHT

        Storm blowing across the night-shrouded surface.
        The Nostromo hovers on glowing beams of light.
        Landing struts unfold like insect legs.
        The ship slams down.
        Rocks heavily on massive shock absorbers.

Taken from the script LV-426 is a planet

Aliens

1.  LV-426 graduates to planet status.
2.  The aliens do not have smooth heads anymore.

Aliens dont have smooth heads due to them breaking in stunts.

As for story wise, i think the most generally accepted idea, is that the Aliens, Aliens were older, and thus the dome has molted.

Alien 3

1.  How did the egg get on the Sulaco?
2.  The smooth head is back.
3.  Two Aliens, one egg.  How does this happen?

Nobody knows how the egg got on the Sulaco, probably the Queen

Smooth head was dealt with.

As the Assembly cut (i believe) has it, the 2 came from a Super, or Queen Facehugger, which is shown in the AC

Alien Resurrection

1.  In Alien 3, Ripley dies on Fiorina 161.  In Alien Resurrection its called Fury 16.
2.  A guy gets his head punched in by and alien and takes a piece of his brain off to look at it before he dies.  With one swift move, the franchise becomes comical.

Fiorina 161 was also known as Fury 161, i believe its called Fury in the small subtitle when the planet shows up.

So theres no proper contradictions, except for possibly the egg on sulaco

[gameoverman]

The egg on the Sulaco doesn't contradict anything - it's just left unexplained how it got there.

[Private Hudson]

I think the egg was laid by the Queen on the Sulaco maybe.

As per Dachande's post - not really seeing any contradictions there.
