But they can exist in the same canon. I just chalk it up that Peter is Charles son.


SM

Fox aren't interested in having a cohesive continuity spanning Alien, AvP and Prometheus.

First Blood

Peter Weyland, I guess.

But I still liked it (before AVP & Prometheus) when it was just that enigmatic name, Weyland or Weyland/Yutani posted in and around the Alien universe.

Charles, thanks to Lance. Lance at least brought some of his unique presence into the character

Oh of course not, no way, I'm just saying it could work.

Charles had more of a chance, considering that AVP didn't hide the guy away for most of the film. He had a great speech in the snowmobile. Saying that, I voted Peter. I prefer the continuity, and what little snippets of the character we got. I wish he'd been given more time, more dimensions, but alas.

Here's Lindelof talking about Pete and Charlie by the by: "[Ridley] wanted to use Weyland as a conduit in the story, and was not at all interested when I said, 'You know, Weyland was a character in one of the Alien vs. Predator movies.' He just sort of looked at me like I had just slapped him in the face. That was the beginning, middle, and end of all Alien vs. Predator references in our story process."

This.

Before seeing Prometheus, I voted Peter Weyland by default. After seeing Prometheus, I don't care for either of them. Both stupid characters.

Peter Weyland if I had to choose.  If they had to show a founder, they should have made them more badass and I don't mean in the stereotypical villain way.

Just curious, in what way do you mean? Badass isn't really the term I would use to describe the founder of a company, usually.

The child of the founder, that's a different story. Just look at Tony Stark :P
