the whole pred-alien concept

[ondemand]

well allot of people claim its not canon cause it goes against a certain set rules or what not but to me its in the movie its canon even though not a good movie to most people it appeared in!

[SM]

It's just as canon as any other AvP movie.

[Kaneda]

There isn't really any "canon" per se to the Alien franchise. I mean, as an unwritten rule, the films are the greatest authority on the Alien universe and, on its own, has the least amount of problem reconciling with each. When you factor in all the games, comics, novels, etc. then it starts to get hairy.

[ondemand]

movies are one canon but books and comics are another! everyone likes to lump them together!

[SM]

No, they don't.

And anyone who says what is and isn't canon is talking out their bottom, unless they work for Fox licensing.  In which case the only subject they WOULDN'T be talking out their bottom would be the subject of Alien canon.

[ondemand]

true!  allot of people are against it saying it goes against a certain set of rules just like what you just posted.

[SM]

It does go against the rules.  Fairly blatantly.

[beckmen]

It's a made up universe! Discussing what is and isn't real in a made-up universe is like arguing with a dining room table, I have no interest in doing it!

[SM]

That's only cos the table usually wins. 


Every believable made up universe has some sort of rules.

true! to me it made sense came out of a predator and took some of its traits even though it was a small amount!

[SM]

If only it was a small amount - say the mandibles (still stupid no doubt, but I'll grant them) - then it wouldn't have been such an issue.  But they added those godawful dreads and boobies.

yeah those were a given! maybe the boobies were a part of the predator that hasn't been seen (maybe?)yet cause it was a hybrid queen predalien!

[SM]

Maybe it's cos just about everyone involved in the creation of that flick had very little idea what they were doing.

could be the strauses didn't and more of trying to make money off it!  i know allot of people hate avpr and a select few like it but i found it to be enjoyable to watch despite all the flaws to the movie(even the dark picture which you gotta turn up the brightness to watch it  )
