The "Alien" skull in Predator 2

[BigDaddyJohn]

I ignore Ridley's prequels

I ignore everything after 01:57:23 of Alien. Miss me with that credit sequence, IDGAF.

Different continuity.

And Aliens generally have skin over their skeleton.

I don't think it's the case with the first AVP (I think the exoskeleton just kind of pops off) but in Requiem we see a Predator peeling back the skin using some sort of laser cutter thing.

The way I understood it is that they have two continuities.

Three, according to Andrew Gaska.

As Xenomorph point out, there are three continuities. I guess Alien, AVP and Predator. What I understand, however, is that The Predator acknowledge AVP.

So AVP is kind of like Fox's Logan, which basically ignored all the X-Men movies after the first three (with the possible exception of X-Men Origins: Wolverine)?

Gaska's work is for licensing. But besides that, Gaska admitted, his work with Predator ended before The Predator.

So I would say two:

[BlueMarsalis79]

Logan does not ignore anything actually, he's still got the dogtags so it does not take place within the timeline of the first three films as he lost them at Alkali Lake, he's got danzan on his wall meaning a version of The Wolverine took place,  so it either takes place in a post Days of Future Past and Apocalypse timeline judging by the last after credits scene that's likely, or a completely standalone timeline.

He's clarified that licensing continuity and fiction continuity are the same thing as far as FOX is concerned, and things were still 3 continuities up to the FOX acquisition (i.e., after The Predator). Whether that stays the same under Disney remains to be seen.

[BlueMarsalis79]

I pity Predator if it's saddled with the AVP films all alone. Let's just put AVP/AVP Requiem/The Predator/AVP 2010 into their own box, lock it, and throw it in the ocean. (In terms of canon and continuity)

AvP2010 is cool and good.

And unfortunately ties itself to AVP and AVP Requiem through audio logs and the nonsense character of Karl Bishop Weyland.

Yet Gaska is just a "canon consultant" not Fox, a canon consultant that stopped working on Predator before "The Predator". So he has no standing to  nullify what the director, cast, or the film itself presented to us. None.

You've taken an interesting 180° Xenomrph. You used to be against that guy explaining what's canon or not. Now* you're that guy, and we're not even talking license canon but continuity? Bizarre change of events my friend!

Don't fight you guyz.
