[SPOILERS] So Covenant confirms that AvP and AvPR are not canon films.

[TurokSwe]

The AVP films (or at least the first one) is only acknowledged by the Predator franchise.

While the Alien EU does utilize Predators, it does not acknowledge the crossover films beyond stylistic choices.

That's not what the evidence suggest though. Noting that even if the AVP films are not acknowledged by the Alien films (seeing as they were made before AVP), it doesn't change that AVP acknowledges the Alien films.

As far as Predator is concerned, Aliens do exist in the universe and a later film has acknowledged Aliens Versus Predator. Its only accurate to say that Predator as a franchise acknowledges it.

AVP does exist as a prequel to the Alien franchise but the Alien Prequels themselves have since retroactively made the Alien a more recent entity. It just means that in Predator the Alien is far more ancient whereas in Alien it's a more recent creature.

I understand the concept you're describing but it doesn't seem to be consistent with the evidence. The ancient nature of the Xenomorphs haven't been changed.

Resorting to facts?

No, but dishonestly resorting to ignoring the facts and the evidence presented by your opponent and then suggesting they haven't provided any.

Regardless of the Alien's creation date.

I've already addressed this as well.

I think I do remember some scant mentions of more ancient Xenomorph but this also should be noted that many Alien share similar traits and we know some Alien variants have occurred which would superficially resemble the "modern" Xenomorph. The Neomorph being the prime example of this and while it's a process to make a Deacon, we know the Engineers have encountered Humans enough that one is also just as possible pre-David.

Both AvPs are currently canon to Predator my good man.

Well, I don't know how, but I dare, unlike other people.

I look forward to it.
