Alien Series Catch All Thread

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

So it's set one year before the Prometheus expedition.

Perhaps the series spans several years and after Weyland's disappearance his company merges with Yutani?

That could be case, if it starts pre-Prometheus and jumps forward after the events of that film, though it still doesn't totally account for the Aliens WY logo being used in the concept art, when it should be the Alien styled one at that point in the timeline (unless that detail in the art isn't actually reflective of what we end up seeing on-screen).

I wonder if this series will add more lore than ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔲𝔩𝔲𝔰 will?

Alien FX series 2092 Weyland - Yutani Corporation Years active 2099 - 2352,

But it's not for our world, is it Miss Yutani?

I wonder if this series will add more lore than ℜ𝔬𝔪𝔲𝔩𝔲𝔰 will?

Quite possibly since it will of course have a longer duration than the movie. I would be very surprised if it didn't fiddle with the lore a lot.

[SiL]

I'd be very surprised if it turned out it was actually connected to the movies in the end.

[TheBATMAN]

Yes. It seems evident this is gonna be it's own thing.

And that's fine.

Remember what Noah said about ignoring the prequels? That might extend to more than just what the prequels did with the Aliens.

There was also a comment from last year where Hawley referred to the prequels as "historical documents," which is why I've been so inclined to think that he might just be retconning the Alien's origins but still leaving it that the prequels themselves exist within the continuity of his series.

In light of the apparent pre-Prometheus existence of Weyland-YUTANI, however... I have no idea what to think anymore.

[Corporal Hicks]

Or it could just straight up be a gaff. We'll find out. lol

That also crossed my mind, given which version of the WY logo was used in the concept art you shared.

[Corporal Hicks]

To be fair, that could purely be down to the artists not knowing the lore that in depth. I wouldn't worry too much about the exact designs on the artwork. If Hawley knows and cares, that'll change in the final product.

Noah said that Legion was the x-men universe but different.


Months later before the premiere that changed. He said it was another universe.



Noah doesn't rule. If continuity changes a lot  THE SERIES will be out of the Alien universe. Not Prequels.

Romulus connects with Alien but connects with prequels too becose is a same universe. Romulus and prequels is another universe? . Obviously not.


Noah will or will not change continuity like he did with Legion but if it is drastic Fox will do the same as Legion even though Fox wanted Legion in the same universe. But Noah broke up a lot and there was no other option.

Scott does not want prequels outside or Fox. There may be errors like in the X-MEN cinematic universe but EVERYTHING is the same universe except Legion ( other  timeline )
Noah can cause that with the Alien series if he breaks everything like Legion. But only  with  little   errors sitill is  universe Alien. There will errors  because Noah is like that

What matters is the execution. You can have a remarkable story in its own universe and a bad one being canon.

Btw, Legion is dope.
