Prometheus is another take on Alien vs Predator

Huh ?

are you referring to the pyramid? if so, its because both Prometheus and avp spawned that same idea from the unused pyramid idea from alien.

can i have some of what you`re on ,,sounds FUN

What you mean in the same way that Prometheus has officially made AVP "canon".

How amusingly Trollsome.

Not at all!

avp canon? explain that one.

I think he's referring to the fact that in AvP the Predators are essentially the Lords of the Aliens who manipulate them to their own ends. Beyond that, I don't see any connection.

1. www.weylandindustries.com 2. Peter Weyland born 1990 3. Yutani Corporation

There are somewhat similar - exploring team - wayland interests - pyramid - statues (SJ suits, totem head, etc) - the escape - everyone dies except maybe one? - the breifing (big similarity) - maybe more???

**sigh**

@snorkel that still doesn't mean avp is canon. For once it doesn't say who weyland's father is. weyland-yutani exists since alien, and peter weyland's birthdate has nothing to do with avp, im watching it right now

How dare you say such blasphemous things! Repent and you may be forgiven, but continue with such defiance merging Alien and Predator, then you risk eternal punishment in the afterlife in the belly of the Derelict on LV-426 with a chestburster! Or, you can " The Engineers' Prayer" [i]Our Space Jockey, Who Art in the Cosmos, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Terraforming will be done, On LV-426 as it is on Earth Give us this day our daily Weyland-Yutani cornbread, And forgive us our trespassing, As we forgive those who use us for g**dman percentages. And lead us not to Predator 0r Jean Claude Van-Dam, But deliver us to Sir Ridley For thine is the power and the leadership and the courage of Ellen Ripley, The Last Survivor of the Nostromo, Signing Off.

Its quite simple really, I'll explain... If AVP was not to be considered canon, the three points I previously posted... 1. www.weylandindustries.com 2. Peter Weyland born 1990 3. Yutani Corporation Would have instead become... 1. www.weylandcorp.com 2. Peter Weyland born after August 2005. 3. Yutani Corporation being the name of the Japanese branch of Weyland, instead of a competitor and rival company. ...Doing this would not really have affected Prometheus in any way, and would have made the AVP's non-canon. But instead they did not, therefore AVP and AVPR are canon.

AVP is better to leave for comics and novels, not on the big screen.

yeesh....

And don't forget video games

Nice work Snork, makes sense story-wise and fan-base-wise. Subtle... yet canon just the same. Why purposely alienate (npi) a branch of the franchise? Scott doesn't have to like where they went with the story but he's smart enough to deal with the suits at Fox and not piss on other parts of the franchise. I'm fine with that.

I spoke with Dean Devlin (ID4) once about a sequel and attaining rights to his characters, ...they weren't his anymore. The studio owned everything. Same with Alien. Ridley didn't have a say in where the story was going. Fox owns it and could turn it into a kid's show tomorrow if they want. But thank god he (RS) has a say in what came before!

As much as I like my AvP in the morning with a side of toast even I must admit that it's not cannon. The AvP movies to put it lithely were a huge steamy pile of crap that if done right it could had been awesome. So to any staff or moderators please lock this thread we're done beating on the same dead horse.
