Quote from: Immortan Jonesy on Jul 22, 2022, 01:49:32 AMI am not a canon denier despite sharing my nerdy fetishes. You're right, and unless someone makes a serious retcon, David is the creator of the Alien and the Engineers are the Space Jockeys. Covenant is a cute gothic sci-fi movie and the Fassbender vs. Fassbender reminds me of the Jinsei bedroom from Mortal Kombat.
Thank you
of course, a lot of people can still do whatever and select the canon continuity for their own viewing
for example, Alien DC contradicts Aliens, therefore, it can be a logical argument to put it into its own continuity
examples of possible continuity branching (think Halloween)
excluding AvP:
ALIEN DC - PROMETHEUS - COVENANT (linked by the use of spores; eggmorphing was never a thing)
ALIEN TC - ALIENS TC/DC - ALIEN3 TC/AC - RESURRECTION TC/DC - PROMETHEUS - COVENANT (PROMETHEUS and COVENANT gain stylistical points if RESURRECTION is included in the equation)
my personal canon timelines for the films depends on my mood but generally here goes
ALIEN DC - (THE DESTROYING ANGELS) (neither makes a single reference to a Queen caste)
ALIEN TC - ALIENS TC/DC (ALIEN DC can be conciliated with ALIENS in a vacuum, but not considering author intentions)
ALIEN TC - ALIENS TC/DC - ALIEN3 TC/DC (Ripley arc)
ALIEN: RESURRECTION TC/DC (French coda in an alternate universe where everything is Jeunet)
ALIEN TC - ALIENS TC/DC - ALIEN3 TC/DC - ALIEN: RESURRECTION (Ripley arc + French coda in an unrecognizable future wrapping Ripley's arc in a most unusual way)
