Alien vs. Predator - Headcanon Timeline

[Jozaca]

the Alien vs. Predator vs. DC crossovers are set on prime earth. Then u have Tarzan, Judge Dreadd, Vampirella, archie, Marvel. Whinch in turn have the whole Image comics universe, which in turn spawn has a crossover with hellboy, which in turn prime earth has a crossover with marvel's earth-616, which in turn have a crossover with star trek. Also u can connect it to the slasherverse too via the Vampirella/Evil Dead crossover. Do i have to continue?

I mean, this is a headcanon timeline. So if u want to make another timeline when u take every crossover character has to be the main ones, u are totally free to do it.

Woa, wait there. Of the Judge Dread and Top Cow I have no idea and if the comics imply they are set in the main universe, then I understand that you don't add them.
But don't tell me that you'll have to include Marvel 616 and Star Trek because of crossovers because that is not true. They are multiversal crossovers, not crossovers were the characters are supposed to inhabit the same universe from the begining.
And I am not so sure if that Tarzan is the main version, since the original version already got a story set in the Earth's core, though maybe it is a sequel and not an adaptation.
I just wanted to confirm how the connections worked.
I see that as far as I am aware, except for the Live Action thing, Tomb Raider is as connected to this as the rest of things, it has a comic book intended as a sequel to their main media and has later a crossover with a comic book character created by the company that did it's comic books at the time.
But yeah, if those are the rules, OK. I get it, just wanted confirmation if there is a rule with a bias towards Live Action

It is a sequel.

Lara is not in the crossover. If she was, it would be the Top Cow version. The Top Cow version is not from the games or movies. Also, note that the Dynamite and Top Cow universes have multiple crossovers but are considered separate universes generally? Or how Image Comics have multiple crossovers that are canon to both universes rather than a huge Image Universe? It's actually as simple as AVP -> Top Cow -> Dynamite -> Slasherverse using that logic.

It's an anti-Westphall device really, not bias. I think you don't realise quite how much connects through comic books if you take every comic crossover as a shared universe. I get it, it's kinda weird, but it has to be done.

I haven't read the Tomb Raider comics to be honest. I thought that they implied that they were canon, it is just that people don't include them in timelines so they don't have to include WitchBlade and more Top Cow things. But I may have understood wrong, since, again I haven't read them. And I have never read anything from Top Cow, Image, Wild storm or Dynamite, so I don't know how the rules work.

OK. I am not saying "bias" here with a negative meaning. Maybe I should have used another word.

 

[Pro Bot]

No, it's fine. I'm not accusing you in a negative sense either.

Thanks for @Pro Bot for having explained the rules Better than me.

Thanks buddy.

The Archie crossover seems to occur across two Archie timelines, so have fun working that one out.

In fact, I've started it myself and... yeah? Pretty weird stuff. I think you can take the timeline from the first comic series as the "canon" one, since there's this.

The U.S. Government know about the Yautja, and we know that they know about the Yautja in the prime universe, and that's as far as that connection goes, lol. Just my opinion. Granted, I need to finish it fully first. The second story connects to the Upgrade Predators from The Predator and is set in a more realistic world.

 

[Pro Bot]

Yeah, I've changed my mind.

Aliens/Vampirella is post-2099 because Weyland-Yutani is referenced. I just placed it in 2115 because it released in 2015, lol.

 

[Pro Bot]

#2: Weyland-Yutani
#3: Weyland Corp

Maybe the merger is quite recent in the Alien/Vampirella crossover, hence why they use both company names.

 

[Pro Bot]

Then again, they say "New batteries designed by Weyland Corp". Weyland Corp could have designed them prior to the merger recently, while the comics occurs after said merger. So, 2105 perhaps.

To be honest, I think Outland and Underwater would fit better on this timeline than on AVP. I'd prefer to include things with confirmation first and foremost, but I do think they should be acknowledged somewhere.

I wonder how well Aliens: Original Sins (Novel) fits with Aliens versus Predator versus The Terminator (Comic) in regards to Ripley 8. Original Sins has to occur before the comic, obviously. Ripley likely abandoned the Betty crew sometime after Original Sins.

Alien: The Original Screenplay actually doesn't contradict anything, if you wish to add that as part of the primary timeline. Different alien creature and a different crew.

The only comics that don't fit are Alien 3: The Unproduced Screenplay and Aliens vs. Avengers, assuming the latter doesn't use time travel to reverse the whole abandoning Earth thing that has been revealed in the solicitations. It might do that, it is a Marvel comic.
