- Sep 22, 2021, 11:25:18 PMThere's 2 continuities that i appreciate
Alternate:
Alien (theatrical)
Aliens (special edition)
Audible's adaptation of Gibson's Alien 3
Main:
Alien (theatrical)
Alien Isolation
Aliens (theatrical)
Alien Cold Forge
Alien3 (Assembly Cut)
Alien Into Charybdis
Prometheus
Alien Covenant
+ lots of Dark Horse stories that don't really fit in any continuity
(I'm fairly sure the tv show will delete Resurrection from continuity or at least make its existence impossible,
it probably will also make Alex White's books impossible to consider "canon".. not that it matters much.. they're awesome and will continue to be so).

But I never said that, just that AVP 2010 in no respect makes a good basis for a film but do continue anyway.

Good template? Not in the slightest. It's just AVP 2004 in space...
Also I hope after Demonic you are not seriously still holding out hope for more half baked Neill Blomkamp ideas.
Yup. I didn't like the ALIENS fan boy A5 premise to begin with, but I had to admit that some of the concepts presented looked alluring. The storyline seemed to be all over the place and there were some truly silly stuff tossed in there (the mech Queen suit for example), but I could see something fun and exciting materializing out of it if Blomkamp were to be surrounded by the right kind of people, as he's indeed a VERY flawed director.
Then I started watching DEMONIC, and oh boy - what a crap fest of a movie. Conceptually cool of course, like all of his stuff, but the actual movie is a total reeker. Yikes!
So yeah, I'm truly happy he didn't get to turn his A5 idea into an actual movie. I don't even think the Cameron fans would've been happy about it, even with Hicks (and Newt) being brought back from the dead to fight W-Y alongside Ripley. Even so, I have a hunch that this project will be revived at some point, or we'll see aspects from the project presented in future movies and media. Or like some people suggested: A novel or comic book adaptation of the script.

The awful Isolation novel, Instead of the Creative Assembly masterpiece, just why? Oh and AVP 2010's continuity and canon directly links it to AVP and AVPR, in addition to Aliens and Alien³ rather bluntly. Even if Neill Blomkamp's Alien V ever did come out, that it did not, it can't co-exist with the former.
I didn't notice I was using an image of the Isolation novel. I definitely mean the game.
I'm not concerned with the particulars of AVP2010 continuity, just more the cinematic experience of the game and how it would make a good template for a movie.

- Aug 30, 2021, 09:18:46 AMFor me Canon has nothing to do with films, comics, books, etc.
I have my own idea of what I would have liked the canon to be and what I would have liked the authors had explored.
The Universe is inhabited by many sentient and non-sentient species, e.g., the Arcturians (Aliens)
Through space exploration, humanity has encountered some of them.
One of these species is the Alien that we all love and somewhere in the universe there is a planet which the Alien is native to. They are probably an ancient species, even million years old.
They are highly aggressive and dangerous—which is an euphemism—but they are not intelligent. One of the scenes I hate the most from all films is the one where they imply that the Aliens somehow managed to turn the lights off in Aliens. I could accept it if they destroyed a source of light but not that they turn off a power generator.
An intelligent animal attacks with plans, evaluates risks and gains, does not rush towards its death only "because"—unless driven by some fanaticism or fear of a worse punition (i.e., soldiers sent to their death for religious or military reasons).
As they say on Earth, which came first? The egg or the chicken? The Aliens reproduce through the eggs, only laid by a different type of Alien that we all know as the Alien Queen. No other types of "Aliens" exist. There could be slight variations if the Alien is born from different creatures, that is, non-human, and whether this makes sense or not from a scientific point of view, I don't care.
—Eggs are only laid by Alien queens
Another species is that of the Space Jockey, which for some reason (scientific, military, etc) were transporting alien eggs in their ship (Alien).
Corollary: The Engineers do not exist. Prometheus, Covenant, AvP and AvP2 did not happen.
—No alien species has ever been to Earth (I do hope they will though, in fiction).

Main Canon:

AVP: RESURRECTION

For a moment, think that Alien Resurrection was part of your AVP headcanon.

Haha, oops! OK, I fixed it.
Oh don't worry, I actually enjoyed to fantasize about the idea given the similarity between the creatures. Well, technically they are the same aliens but painted differently.
