Alien vs. Predator - Timeline

hmmm, Dutch looks young. I'm guessing Predator Hunting Grounds and related books might be no longer canon

Spoiler

That, or the Predator's blood was used to keep Dutch youthful. It wouldn't be the first time that happened.

this is from the 04/2025 dutch tape from hunting grounds:

My life shouldn't be possible, but the very thing I hunt, that hunts me, is what's keeping me alive. As we began to understand the Predator's technology, we started to use it. A fight with a Predator female went bad and I was critically wounded. Dying, I agreed to experimentation. Using their medical technology was painful at first, but it worked. It worked so well that the cells in my body stopped aging. Pushing eighty now, I feel like a man fighting in his 40's. It's not the only experiment that I've been a part of. I'm deadlier now than I was in Val Verde.

so i feel like

Spoiler: killer of killers

killer of killers should be in 2025 or later

Yeah, that could work and they did use that to prolong his life. I don't think we ever had a visual to see how old he looks so it's doable. It'll all come down to what we get when he's unthawed. If he says the Jungle Hunter fight was recent it's an issue but let's hope they try to keep some of the continuity.

The new Badlands trailer dropped

noticed a 2178 date in this trailer

Literally takes place a year before Aliens.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Also @Pro Bot , you did see the stuff earlier that needs adding, right? Specifically...

• Updating the timeline for Predator: Killer of Killers to account for the extended cut
• Moving Predator: Badlands to 2178
• Adding ALIEN VS. CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 to #4 to the timeline/viewing order (preferably between 1941 to 1944 [at least until the miniseries begins and gives us clues to narrow down the timeline], going off of Steve's history as Cap in Earth-616)

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Timeline-wise, we can place it between Torres' sequence from Predator: Killer of Killers and the Tarzan vs Predator comics, since we don't know what year specifically the comic will take place in.

And speaking of Killer of Killers, noticed this error.

Oh, and also this error earlier that needs fixing. ;P

It'll be fixed along with the added extended credits sequence.

It's not over yet. Hulu is debuting a new extended cut of Predator: Killer of Killers tonight, bringing with it the long-awaited return of two major Predator franchise characters.

At San Diego Comic-Con today, Prey filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg announced that the new cut of the animated anthology will begin streaming tonight, at 7 pm PST, and features an epilogue scene featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch character from the original 1987 movie, as well as Danny Glover's Lieutenant Mike Harrigan from Predator 2.

We can probably just place Killer of Killers in 1998 honestly.

IDK, taking the Hunting Ground tapes from Dutch into consideration, it would make make more sense to place Killer of Killers present-day scenes after Hunting Grounds.

Dutch being frozen in 1997-1998 doesn't contradict anything. He could come back to Earth to experience the Stalking Shadows novel and Dutch tapes.

It just depends on the future sequels.

 

[lightsyder]

Not sure I love the new ending but it does make such a great opportunity to get the Schaefer brothers together....finally! Lol

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

• Moving Predator: Badlands to 2178
• Adding ALIEN VS. CAPTAIN AMERICA #1 to #4 to the timeline/viewing order (preferably between 1941 to 1944 [at least until the miniseries begins and gives us clues to narrow down the timeline], going off of Steve's history as Cap in Earth-616)

These still need doing

 

[Pro Bot]

2178 probably isn't a date if it's what I think it is.

Oro? What do you mean?

 

[Pro Bot]

If it's the MU/TH/UR computer's last 2 digits, I mean.

Ah, I see. Understandable
