The AVP vs. Prometheus Canon Debate, and all canon debates really

[Nero the Jackal]

Well hell yes I did, we were yelling at each other for pages in here.   On display shamelessly for everyone to see.

I get what you're saying, and definitely agree.  Are you married, by chance?

Anyway, canon!

Marriage i hear can be....dangerous 

yes i believe its canon also, there is such a tight lid on the production details we don't know much other than it has the weyland logo on a helmet...i think and it has the same sort of designs on walls by giger and if i can recall correctly i saw lots of urn like objects in a picture, if one remembers the old concept then one would know that facehuggers original shot out from an urn.

*you're

And no, it's still not correct.

It is correct, it says in the documentary that the saga lives on through home video, comics, novels, and games, which means they are all in the Saga.

You have an obsession with trying to make the stories not fit and or have canon issues, well I will tell you this, the Alien movies themselves have a lot of continuity issues, Aliens more so than any other.

Home video?  So you're saying that I can make my own movie now, and have it be canon?



Fox has bestowed us with unimaginable power!

Home video as in DVD/VHS releases. You know, a video you watch at home rather than in the theatre.

[RagingDragon]

I was pointing out the generalization.  That phrase seems randomly taken out of context, and to me simply means that an Alien EU exists.

As far as being a declarative statement about canon, no.  It says nothing about how coherent it is, if there are contradictions, what these contradictions mean to story continuity, etc...

Don't try and make it mean something it doesn't.  It's just a line on a DVD special feature, probably said in passing.

[Xenomrph]

To be fair one could say that contradictions don't necessarily have a bearing on "canon" - just look at the Bible. It's chock-full of inconsistencies and contradictions, and yet it's all part of the biblical "canon".

Jesus Christ.

...Holy Jesus...





(No pun intended)

Now all we need is someone to bring Hitler and the Nazi into this convo really round it out.

[Xenomrph]

You realize the term "canon" originally referred to religious texts and what was considered "genuine", right?

[chupacabras acheronsis]

yes but movie fans can't just kick people that opose them to another continent.

[RagingDragon]

You are really going there?

Man all you had to say was "I like rocking the ganja and being high all dizzy day loooong," your posts make so much more sense now that I realize this.
