Did Fede Alvarez take inspiration from one of Giger's paintings for this shot?

sure looks like it.

I can live with AVP 2004 being part of the canon. But Requiem ...

In my head AvP movies were always canon to the predator series, not the aliens series. That shit just don't stick.

That's how I see it aswell.

I think that the official Alien canon also doesn't count the AvP movies, but the Predator canon it does

Nope! Alien, Predator, and AVP are three separate continuities.

Must be why AvP stuff keeps showing up in Predator films.

To be fair, I'd rather AvP, AvPR, Predators and The Predator not be canon to *anything* and be nothing more than mindless popcorn flicks 🤣

In my head, Alien canon is;

Alien
Aliens
Alien 3

Predator canon is;

Predator
Predator 2
Prey

Pathogen canon;

Prometheus
Alien Covenant
Alien
(Potentially) Alien Romulus * (has the potential to fit into Alien canon too depending on how heavy Prometheus is referenced / if can be passed off as a nod)
Aliens
Alien 3

Everything else is expanded universe, whether considered fun, good, or bad

In expanded universe... I enjoy it, in the same way I enjoy a Dark Horse / Marvel Aliens comic, it's fun, got rewatch value (hell, I know it word for word like all the others) but it's not in the same league as the original trilogy, nor does it have the same atmosphere. It'll always be a live action comic book to me. And that's ok, I still love it... but it'll never stand alongside the Alien Trilogy.

"Barring Burton" - ooh, meow.

[SiL]

There's a film that belongs in the bin. Take Resurrection out to make room.

[BigDaddyJohn]

I agree Covenant should take it's place 

[426Buddy]

I would dump Prometheus before Covenant.
