ALIEN: The Weyland-Yutani Report (S.D. Perry, 160 pages)

[Xenomrph]

Because AVP never happened according to the book.

And yet, Fox still has AVP on their canon list according to Tristan.

I'm just curious, do you have a source for that?

I could see reasons why AvP isn't referenced in the WY report, but it doesn't really contradict anything any more than the Weyland Corp website timeline did.

Here you go, from Tristan himself. It's on the thread which you've been posting at too.

I totally overlooked that post (and didn't realize that user was a content creator, to be honest). Thanks

Tristan Jones. The guy who is writing and doing art for Defiance.

Ah, thanks.

Brian Wood is writing Defiance.  Tristan is doing the art.

And I don't believe AvP was left out for licensing issues.

My bad.

Well, I mean, it wasn't totally left out. The arm shield made out of an Alien's head on 3rd to last page is directly taken from AvP.

And although I've heard it said that Prometheus totally ignores AvP I noticed a subtle reference to AvP in the Weyland corporate timeline: "1990: Peter Weyland is born in Mumbai, India to an Oxford-educated Professor of Comparative Mythology and a self-taught engineer." That self taught engineer being Charles Bishop Weyland.

I wouldn't take that Corporate timeline as gospel. I mean sure it was meant to tie into the movie but there are... issues with it.

By 'left out' I meant the events and characters.  I'm not sure SD was specifically referring to AvP with the Alien body armour, as it covers a number of items.

As things currently stand there's no link between Peter and Charles.

Yes, if I remember correctly when reading that timeline, there was no way that the lives of Peter and Charles could overlap.

[SM]

They overlap - Peter was born in 1990 and Charles died in 2004.

But that's really neither here nor there.

Looks like I don't remember correctly after all...  It could have been some of their deeds that didn't line up.  It was long ago when I read that, but the impression I got was that something didn't quite sync up.  Is that timeline still up somewhere?
