Alien-->Aliens-->Alien 3 = Bad ending

The bad ending being she stops the company and outrightly exterminates the Alien?

That's really not saying much since the company gets their hands on the Aliens in A:CM.

Yeah that one  :P Because as we all know the Alien species is alive and well. And also Walmart takes Wey-Yu's place so it's all for naught.

Besides the point, stroggificated wasn't talking about A:R as an ending.

Your point is utterly moot since A:CM is not a movie.

It's canon, tho. :P

It's not remotely canon, and I assure you even the execs who once implied that to help sales have already forgotten all about it. None of the EU is canon or ever will be. It means nothing to anyone except the most hardcore fanbase, and that's not the demographic the studio is intent on re-pitching this franchise to. Same thing with the terrible Star Wars books or the dogged fans of that Terminator TV show - shit outta luck.

Does this also include the EU reboot with Fire and Stone, as well as the Titan Publishing books?

Probably.

They'll market it to fans and they'll gloss over any answer they give the devoted fans and pretty it up, but the bottom line is? No director who ever comes into this franchise ever again, whether it's Neill Blomkamp or Ridley Scott or Jim Cameron or anyone else, is ever going to give a shit about any of that material or want anything to do with it. That goes for the games, the books, the comics, and yes, most especially the AVP films.

They may never say that outright to your face, they may say something vague and nice to keep you hoping, but that is exactly what is happening. Doesn't mean they will ever stop pushing the product while making new films, but the films will never be beholden to any of that. Nor should they be.

I care for Ripley, Hicks and Newt only. Trivial things like companies or mankind don't matter.  ;)

Sorry, but before I acknowledge something as not canon, I'll need more to go on than the moans and groans of pissed off fanboys. :(
