Yep, lol. I think they wanted it to be unrelated to the events of Aliens.
Common Fede Álvarez W."I really tried to make an effort as much as I can to respect the canon not only of the movies, but beyond. It's hard because there's contradictions in the same world once you expand to the novels and everything," he recalled.
"Thank god for Xenopedia and things like that, that was always open on my laptop when I was writing to just go and check like, 'What era those androids were created'. If you want to know, the information is there because someone wrote a novel about it."
"It's Ridley's movie, so it's canon. You cannot cherry pick and go, 'I don't like that, I don't like this'. I take everything. Ours is not that. It's more in-line with the first movie. There's a bit of a time jump in some moment which will allow you to go, 'That probably was enough time for the creature to grow'."
Alien: Romulus won't break established Alien canon

ive personally just put this in its own category like star wars visions, as long as nothing explicitly contradicts existing canon i dont see a problem treating it as such but "on paper" its clearly not meant to imply anything greaterThis doesn't actually contradict Aliens because Burke's death was off-screen and they explain what happens afterwards. I suppose it's canon? But it does heavily contradict Aliens: Colonial Marines: Stasis Interrupted so that's problematic.Aliens: What If...

Goldberg, Brian Volk-Weiss, and Hans Rodionoff, illustrated by Guiu Vilanova, colored by Yen Nitro, lettered by VC's Clayton Cowles, and edited...avp.fandom.com
Maybe it's Like "what if we show this thing" ahahahah.The thing is it explains how Ripley ended up on Fury in Alien³ though. It's showing another perspective on events that are supposedly diverged. It's not very good at being divergent basically.
ah i see, i actually was waiting for the 5 issues to all be out before i read them all, just looking at the wiki i found this:The thing is it explains how Ripley ended up on Fury in Alien³ though. It's showing another perspective on events that are supposedly diverged. It's not very good at being divergent basically.
what comic is this?View attachment 2256
He says he's a Replicant. The Android says he's a replicant, on a planet that originated from a Blade Runner spin-off. Blade Runner references, holy crap. If it wasn't for the fact that Arcadia 234 is apparently completely destroyed, this would be probably the most sufficient proof of a connection.
Tbh there are some ruins in the comic. Or maybe i saw wrong.
exactly, the predator 2018 is my biggest issue with the overall timeline flow and everything looking at least somewhat congruousThe time difference between The Predator (2018) and Blade Runner (2019) reminds me of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1-3 (reboot) taking place a few years before Black Ops 2 in the same universe. There's also a Blade Runner comic set in 2009 showing off-world colonies in 2007. That's a tough thing to reconcile with the Weyland timeline.
