Aliens take place in the future so did the battles between predators and the aliens really happen in this universe?

To be honest i don't care if it's canon or not it doesn't bother me but as films go i find avp entertaining enough to watch. The second i couldn't get through it, and predators, i found enjoyable to as sc fi entertainment goes. I was intrigued by what the other film makers, think about them and the writers, etc purely from a point of interest i guess.

and nice try Snorky but I saw the film Clint Eastwood Made "Gran Torino". I know all about the Hmong people whom I think you are using in an unfair way here to try to wiggle out out of my in escapable logic lmfao... The word actuall has no formal definition..."Mong" that is It is exceptable North American Slang and is derivitve of the word Hmong which were /are vietnemise people. The now world famous URBAN dictionary which usually categorizes such words that reside in LIMBO because they have never been officially defined lists the word as follows... MONG Adj. Lacking in physical and cerebal ability. General retardation. Generally: a total spastic. 1. (Mong)- Slang for spastic, but used against a person who says or does something completely idiotic by accident or without realisation. This makes every witness simultaneously raise their hands to their shoulders and shake 'em while sticking their tongue in their lower lip and making 'urrgh' noises. 2. (Monged)- A vegetive state of mind/being usually effective after consuming large quantities of alcohol, weed, lsd, ecstacy etc or combinations of. 1. Steve you mong, you've just poured the kettle onto ya cornflakes. 2. Steve's well monged after we spiked his drink with acid, muhahahaha. Mong is short for 'mongoloid', which was originally an anachronistic term for a Down's Syndrome sufferer. Derogatory verb commonly used to describe the state of one's lack of common sense. verb "to mong" to be in a deep state of relaxed wakefulness, often induced by the excessive use of alcohol or drugs. and obviously written by a women... Short for mongrel. A term usually used to describe someone who goes off with your ex boyfriend the minute you split up. At the same time she is also a 0 rating on the stunning scale and can often look like a ugly dog or horse. The mong also tends to buzz off presents you bought the ex, unknown to her. lmao !!!

Snork...."Mentioning CBW is not necessary, same as it is unnecessary for Prometheus to mention Ellen Jane Ripley." Mentioning a company's founder in a corpoarate timeline isn't necessary?...OK Not mentioning a lowly warrant officer on some random mining tug from among 837.53 million employees and on a timeline that is meant to end decades prior to when 'Alien' occurs?.....that does make total sense. "What was Special Order 937 in Alien?" Nothing more than a response to the translated signal they received, but that's a debate for another time. "What was the OWLF's mandate in Predator 2?" It doesn't matter as the Predator universe is not a part of the Alien universe and the point is mute. Oh Snork...and there's this, direct from the timeline: "October 11, 2012 - Weyland Corporation is recognized as a legal entity and corporation under United States law and receives their Certificate of Incorporation from the Companies House in the United Kingdom. Due to the combined value of Sir Peter Weyland’s various patents and patent-pendings, the company incorporates with a higher fair market valuation than any other company in history." Isn't that [b]8 YEARS AFTER AVP[/b] when Weyland Industries is supposed to be an established Multi Biliion dollar corporate entity? Wait..I think that totally invalidates AVP...does it?.....[b]I THINK IT DOES FOR CRYING OUT LOUD[/b].....

@ CAM... 1. CBW is the founder of Weyland Industries, PW is the founder of Weyland Corp. Two separate companies, thus there is no need to mention CBW on a Weyland Corp website. Furthermore, Weyland Industries was already in existence by 2004, your patent reference is in respect to Weyland Corp, a different company. 2. Special Order 937 - obtain alien specimen for study. OWLF mandate - obtain alien specimen for study. Same order. 3. CBW is in no way related to Weyland Corp, but what does it say on the site weylandindustries.com regards PW's parents...

Snorky... A word formed by merging the sounds and meanings of two different words, as chortle, from chuckle and snort. [b]I have to come to think you're a proper "Prillock" if you....[/b] Drive round with a dashboard crammed with cuddly creatures? Wear a disney top if you ate a grown-up? Have a wacky ringtone on your phone? Spiderpig anyone? Actually say the words "I'm crazy I am."? Think lol is actually punctuation? And don't even go there about typos at the top - I meant to type Prillock - it's a [u][i][b]portmanteau[/b][/i][/u], I'll have you know.

Really Snork...we're going to claim there are two different Weyland compaies existing coicindentally in the same universe, coicindentally inolving themselves with the same alien species? I think this is getting just a tad ridiculous.... "Prometheus" is invalidating AVP...end of story....

I dont get it, its all out of place. No one knows what the Alien is in Alien 1979, yet in AvP, a 21st Century girl joins forces with (yes..iknow..) a Predator and defeats the Aliens with a stupid amount of ease. Oh did she jut forget to say anything to anyone? And this measn that if the Preds are huntin Xenos in the 21st Century then in Prometheus they must already exsist. That is of course unles AvP really is just a bad idea / spin off that was ok for a "im bored" movie but in actual fact spits on 2 great monsters.

@ CAM... It happens in real life, why not in fiction. Fathers company shrivels and dies, son's company becomes numero uno. BTW I am with Alteredstate on this one I do not care whether or not AVp is considered canon or not, but with so many quick to denounce the idea why not be on the side of the underdog. And all my arguments for them being canon are based on rigor, logic and narrative structure, not personal opinion. Check my posts on this I have never used "IMO" or personal opinions on this, but often those against the idea do (CAM and Sparky included).

to tell ya the truth I don't care either... it just always bugged the crap outta me though that so many people felt the AVP's were worth even considering as Canon, I mean I loved watching that first film, but like I have said many times..."come on".

AlienneilA... AVPR suggests that Alexa Woods was debriefed about her experience as was Dutch in 1987. The only Aliens she killed were flukes, that said Ripley has taken on more ridicolous numbers of xeno's with seemingly more ease so go figure. The mural in Prometheus depicting a xeno already suggest the creature already existed.
