James Cameron's Avatar Blockbuster-o-logy

[Nightmare Asylum]

Brave space marines, fighting the foul xeno wherever it shows its face.

Now I want to see Operation Aliens!

[Sharp Sticks]

I dream about Operation Aliens. Nightly. It's bliss.

But I always have to wake up. *sigh*

[Nightmare Asylum]

At least there are still the Kenner toys and comics

Hey, predxeno, just curious, do you consider the Kenner stuff to be canon?

[predxeno]

I haven't read the kenner comics yet.   Though, I probably will...even though that may mean a lot of retconning from what little I've heard about them.

[chupacabras acheronsis]

Kenner is a toy line.

[predxeno]

We know, but some of the Kenner Alien toys came with Alien comics.

[Valaquen]

You don't take the info on the trading cards as canon, do you?

[chupacabras acheronsis]

which are not comics by the way.

[predxeno]

This toy packaging clearly says "comic".

[SM]

It's rolled up under the tail.

And also laughable rubbish.

[SiL]

The second Predxeno starts retconning the Kenner comics, I'm putting him on my "ignore" list.

[Sharp Sticks]

You'll be missing out.

[Nightmare Asylum]

Predxeno, here's a little spoiler for the Kenner comics

Spoiler

The marines are still alive

[close]

So unless you intertwine the events of the comics into Aliens somehow, you won't get any canon out of them

That's what I heard.  So far I've retconned that they are all synthetics like Ripley was in Aliens Female War made by the same group that made her (I suspect it was a group in side Weyland-Yutani, in AVP Hunter's Planet, I think they mentioned a secret group inside the company that disagrees with some of the unethical practices their corporation makes).

predxeno please explain to me the swarm alien
