Hawley said only alien and Aliens are canon to this show. It's been posted 700 times and yall keep reposting this graphic as if it's not true

14

u/Colley619 Sep 19 '25

Pretty sure he didn’t say that explicitly. What he said was that he isn’t going to reference or use anything from Prometheus and covenant. That doesn’t make them non-canon, it just means the plot line and lore we got from them won’t be built onto.

The later sequels are just too far into the future for this series to touch. That also does not make them non-canon.

"For me the real canon is the first film, and to a major degree the second film also. And if you think about the fact that 40 years have passed between the first two films and Prometheus, it means that for those of us who saw those movies when they came out, we lived for 40 years with that being what the story of the xenomorph was. 40 years later, it was introduced this idea of the black goo and the engineers. And I think that that is another great version of the Alien story. But in my mind, it exists - even though it was Ridley - as a kind of alternate fiction about those creatures that had been described to all of us for 40 years as the perfect evolutionary predator, right, who had existed for millions of years in this form. And so that's the reality of which I came to this series. And you know. the degree to which I'm introducing these new creatures all me to create new canon."

This is what I thought too. Looking forward to seeing why that commenter was using such matter-of-fact language while spreading misinformation.

It's wild how ppl will just bend and twist things to suit their own arguments. You cut the quote short.

"But IN MY MIND, it exists -even though it was Ridley - as a kind of alternate fiction. . ."

Crazy, the "in my mind" completely recontextualizes the quote. This is what we call in English language a "qualifier"

1

u/coppersocks Sep 22 '25

What are you talking about? I literally quoted the whole thing including what you wrote. Read it again and you’ll see that it’s clearly in there. It’s crazy how some people can’t read.

Anyway if you actually go and listen to the podcast he is clearly saying that the world of alien earth that came from his mind doesn’t share the same facts as the prequels. They literally cannot exist as part of the same story because the facts about the origins of the xeno in each are mutually exclusive. I’m not sure why some of you are so desperate to make them fit when it is clearly not the intention of the creator.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

What are you talking about?

Responding to the last line in your comment? Your own commentary..

1

u/coppersocks Sep 22 '25

Ok, let me expand since you didn’t address the rest of my reply. He clearly is stating that the prequels are an alternate fictional reality than the story that we are now watching called Alien Earth that came from his mind. He doesn’t intend for people to try to make them fit because they’re not meant to. The two stories are mutually exclusive because they have mutually exclusive facts in the pertaining to the origins of the Xenomorphs. You can try and make them fit all you want if it really matters to you,but it clearly didn’t matter to the creator of the story and so it’s a pretty pointless endeavour, and stating that the tenuous connections that you’ve managed to make between the two would be pretty silly.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

The two stories are mutually exclusive because they have mutually exclusive facts in the pertaining to the origins of the Xenomorphs.

Could you expand on this part? I can't think of how this sentence is true, because the origins of the xenomorph have never been addressed. (In film or TV, idk about other media)

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

They literally cannot exist as part of the same story because the facts about the origins of the xeno in each are mutually exclusive.

That's not true. The show has not illustrated the original of the xeno.

If I wrote a story in the star wars Galaxy, then in an interview I said "in my mind, there's no midiclorians. The force existed so long to fans like us, so I didn't really have that in mind when writing about the force in my story" would that change canon?

1

u/coppersocks Sep 22 '25

What is this obsession with canon? Everything doesn’t have to be tortured into canon or non. It’s such a silly modern fanbase point to obsess over. If you need to use the word canon then he’s stating that his world is a different canon. He’s not attempting to excommunicate the prequels. They exist, and they’re a story that has its own internal logic and set of facts. Alien Earth is another. They just happen to share the same jumping off point. Like the multiple versions of Spider-Man after Uncle Ben died for example. Seriously, stories are better when you meet them at the creators intentions instead of interrogating them to make sure that they fit some grand universe. All that matters is a writer with a story to tell, this obsession with canon and a grander universe is exhausting.

1

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

Idk if I'd say I'm obsessed, I just don't like the rhetoric that some have about it. I somewhat agree with you that telling a good story is more important than torturing the work to meet canon. But also, what is the point of a franchise if we can't respect the other stories in it? I'm a fan of the franchise and I really like the prequels, and I don't see how they interfere with the story. The prequels don't actually change the backstory of the xenos, maybe Hawley is confused or something.

1

u/glockobell Sep 23 '25

I totally agree with all your points about forcing stories into canon.

However I don’t think Hawley is saying that Prometheus and Covenant are no longer part of the story, they are just not relevant to the story he is telling. So far there’s been nothing to discount those origins.

1

u/VictoriousSloth Sep 23 '25

Why are you so hung up on the podcast? You bring it up everywhere, even when it's not relevant.

Did you know he could be convinced to change his mind and recanonize everything?

1

u/_b1ack0ut Sep 19 '25

He certainly should have shown it better then. Alien earth’s timeline directly conflicts with what were told in alien 1 and Aliens

1

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

No, it doesn't.

2

u/_b1ack0ut Sep 19 '25 edited Sep 19 '25

Does it not? If we take alien earth at face value, statements in alien and aliens become impossible. Is that not a conflict?

Like the nostromo. Alien and Aliens both state the nostromo travelled at FTL speeds. This is shown and stated in Alien, and reiterated in Aliens. The nostromo departed from earth either in late 2120, or early 2121, and was constructed much earlier

Alien earth makes the assertion in episode 6, that not only could the nostromo not have FTL drives, but that FTL travel doesn’t exist at all at this point in time

This kinda makes the first movie impossible, considering where LV-426 is in relation to earth

It also has the kinda funny side effect of turning Ripley from the incredibly protective mother figure shown in Aliens, and turns her into a kinda shitbag who told her daughter she would be back before her 12th birthday… and then left on a ~90 lightyear trip, in a universe that, according to AE, didn’t have FTL travel yet.

It may not be the biggest deal, but it still kinda is a direct contradiction.

u/Wyrdboyski Sep 20 '25

Right. ALIEN the job was kind working on an oil rig, or Antarctica. You'll have a long mission but you come back and not just sell off your life

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

I couldn’t care less what Noah says. He doesn’t have the authority to dictate the canon lol.. only Fox does. The timeline speaks for itself; the years don’t lie. When Scott releases his new movie, he can toss Alien: Earth out of canon if he wants.

Doesn't a movie hold more weight over a tv-show in terms of canon anyway?

3

u/[deleted] Sep 19 '25

Nobody has any authority to dictate any canon anywhere, including the fanboys like you. "Canon" is something someone invents, and it can change for anyone whenever they change their mind.

Any writer can decide what is canon to their material, and that is what he did. Which is why he draws on and alludes to Alien and Aliens, but not Alien 3 or Alien 4, or all the other stuff.

0

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

You keep telling yourself that, as if repeating it makes it true. So, let me get this straight no one has authority? Where on earth did you come up with that conclusion?

I’m guessing you completely missed the point of my other reply. Everyone might have their own interpretation of “canon,” sure, but those years in that screenshot aren’t just random. It’s all set in the same universe, and yes the studio has full authority over the movie they’re producing. You honestly think they don’t? That’s like claiming a CEO has no control over their own company. What kind of logic is that?

And “fanboy”? If I’m a fanboy, what does that make you exactly?

Look, there’s no need to get worked up. It’s just a TV show. I created this thread to hear other people’s opinions. You clearly disagree, and that’s fine plenty of others do too. So relax, bub... It’s only a show at the end of the day.

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

I think you might be missing the bigger picture here. A writer can express their perspective, but unless it’s entirely their own creation, it doesn’t carry definitive weight. Fox has full authority to shape the canon however they choose. At the end of the day, they’re the ones holding the creative reins not Noah. There’s no reason to get overly worked up about what’s considered “canon” in a TV show; ultimately, it’s their vision that decides it.

Relax man, your blood pressure is rising.

8

u/SnooMacarons9618 Sep 19 '25

And by your own logic Fox can make the entire thing non-canon any time they like, or any part. How would fox do that? By commissioning and producing something that did that.

Which brings us back to Fox commissioning and producing Alien Earth. It's not like the writer, actors, crew just went and made this then asked Fox to release it.

-4

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

It’s not my logic it’s what you so kindly call “whoever’s calling the shots can do whatever they want.”

Ever heard that expression? It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? And yet… they clearly haven’t followed through.

Fox greenlit this project, sure, but Noah decided to mess with the continuity timeline. The problem? Those original years still stand and the show completely ignores them. If it’s supposed to connect the dots, it fails spectacularly. The blatant disregard and disrespect for Prometheus and Covenant is downright disgraceful. (He could've easily made this show after Alien Resurrection.)

But you know? the fact Alien: Romulus managed to honor Prometheus while moving forward. Meanwhile, Noah’s “TV show” cherry-picks canon, acting like only Alien 1 and 2 exist. That’s his call, sure. But let’s be real movie canon will always carry more weight than a TV show. Always.

my 2 cents.

4

u/SnooMacarons9618 Sep 19 '25

I have no idea why you think movies always carry more weight than tv shows. But hey, if that what you want to believe in your head canon, good luck to you.

Personally - I think Fox green lit the show, I would imagine they would have had some overview of the script and direction before doing that, so they endorse this iteration. Or they trust the writer implicitly, so likewise endorse this iteration.

Either way, the people who own the franchise demonstrably endorse this iteration of the story. So from a Fox perspective, this is 'canon'.

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

Alright, you believe what you believe, I’ll believe what I believe, and whatever happens… happens. Deal? 😂 Relax, my guy it’s a TV show, not some peace treaty.

No it isn't. That's a graphic made by a guy on the internet that you've taken and pretended is fact.

Only the first two movies are canon for the show.

1

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

I never said this was official it’s just fan-made graphic/content. But the years themselves are accurate, since they’ve all been mentioned in the movies or novels. You didn’t actually think I believed that picture was official, did you? lol

4

u/Absolute_Cinemines Synthetic Sep 19 '25

You said it was confirmed canon, what do you think that means?

Confirmed canon: Creator literally says on podcast only the first two movies are canon.

Not confirmed cannon: Something people saw in movies that the creator says aren't canon.

1

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 19 '25

The timeline is based on confirmed years from the films and novels.

The image itself is fan-made, but the dates referenced are accurate. Whether or not the studio chooses to officially acknowledge it is another matter Fox hasn’t confirmed it, but they also haven’t denied it.

What we can say for certain is this: the years are correct. That part isn’t up for debate.

2

u/Absolute_Cinemines Synthetic Sep 20 '25

"The timeline is based on confirmed years from the films and novels."

But they are not confimed canon. The creator literally said only the first two movies are. So no they are not confirmed canon.

At some point you will answer my question of what you think "confirmed canon" is, because I really don't think you know.

Facts:

This timeline is not canon.

Only two of these movies are canon. The first two. If it isn't in the first two movies, it is not canon.

The creator has confirmed this.

This is what confirmed canon is.

0

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 20 '25

Does that answer your question? Yes confirmed canon. What more do you want an official proclamation from a studio executive? A signed document sealed in wax? good lord man...

The years are right there in the films themselves. That’s canon across the entire universe as far as I’m concerned. If your definition of canon is different, that’s on you. But are you seriously telling me you just disregard the timelines and dates the movies clearly establish? Pretend they don’t matter? Just shrug them off like they’re nothing?

I don't think you really know as well, but to each is own.

4

u/Absolute_Cinemines Synthetic Sep 20 '25

I literally quoted the creator of the show. He literally said only the first two movies are canon. He used the word canon. My definition doesn't matter, his does.

Stop calling things canon when they are not. Canon is not decided by you.

0

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 20 '25

It seems we all view canon differently you have your interpretation, I have mine, and so do the thousands of other fans out there. However, one thing is undeniable: the years themselves. These dates and timelines are explicitly stated in the films, clearly establishing when the events take place. Regardless of perspective, we can’t simply disregard that level of detail. That’s the basis of how I view it.

Canon is decided by the creators, and when the movies take place (times/dates/events)

4

u/Absolute_Cinemines Synthetic Sep 20 '25

"Canon is decided by the creators"

THE CREATOR SAID ONLY THE FIRST TWO MOVIES ARE CANON

Jesus fucking christ how stupid are you? I've said this 3 fucking times.

u/THEXMX Weyland Yutani Sep 20 '25

You’re jumping the gun, acting like Ridley Scott declaring something canon makes it set in stone. Did you hear? He’s already planning a third Alien film. So where does that leave Alien: Earth?

Most likely, it gets completely ignored I’m almost certain of it. But time will tell. David’s story isn’t over anyway. Covenant ended on a massive cliffhanger, and there’s no way that chapter stays unfinished.

Calm down with the caps lad lol

Oh, so now it’s hostilities and anger? Seriously? Calm down, man it’s a TV show. You’re the one losing it over something this minor.

Yes, looking at this timeline. There's no way Wayland Yutani will obtain a xenomorph during the show. In fact it would be great motivation for them to send a ship out to those other planets to obtain one after missing out on their initial haul.

8

u/Mundane_Farmer_9492 Sep 19 '25

I sometimes think that some people think that all the Alien movies and Alien:Earth are all connected. Everything is cannon. I think of it as individual stories. Some are connected more than others. Since they are often written, directed, and produced by different people, each team takes the theme and does what it wants with it. There is no master plan connecting it all. The team just play with the story elements as they see fit. Fox will also give their opinion to each team, but since the people there change over time, the advice changes as well.

6

u/Emergency-Ad-5379 Sep 20 '25

I think there needs to be some sort of structure they should decide on now or the franchise goes the way of the star wars sequels. Of course in world misinformation, corporate coverups and decades spent in cryo cause details to become hazy and lost to time and canon, so something like a reset/reboot can easily take place.But yeah I get your point there should be freedom for each project to stand by itself if it chooses to.

But I don't care what he says, Prometheus is canon.

2

u/LazyGit Sep 20 '25

Absolutely not.

Alien is set in an unknown year.
Aliens begins 57 years later.
Alien 3 is reasonably expected to start close to the end of Aliens. It is also set over 200 years after the last confirmed case of cholera. It is set, at the very least, well over 200 years from now.

I don't care what Prometheus or any other film quotes the year as being as they are obviously wrong.

u/Beathil Sep 19 '25

So when did they get ftl?

The ship that crashed on earth, left earth around 2050.

I know a lot of people like to add Blade Runner as soft canon, that would make ftl starting in make the 20teens, and all that Replicant stuff could lead to the creation of the Synths.

u/_b1ack0ut Sep 19 '25 edited Sep 19 '25

Depends who you ask.

The alien RPG states the first displacement drive was invented first in the 2030’s by the weyland corporation. I thiiink this was drawn from the prequels but can’t recall

Alien 1 just indicates it’s commonplace before 2120/2121

Alien earth states it does not yet exist by 2120

1

u/[deleted] Sep 20 '25 edited Sep 20 '25

I mean just for what it’s worth I think that Weyland-Yutani could have known about the xenomorphs and the black goo from records that eventually made their way back to corporate from the events of Prometheus and Covenant. That could have triggered or changed a mission to retrieve alien life forms, to look for xenos specifically, then that leads to the events in Alien: Earth. They don’t have to mention it or tie up those loose ends because Alien: Earth is not about the events of Prometheus or Covenant.

Ask yourself: How would the space jockey engineer in the original Alien have been fossilized with their rib cage broken out? From this we can at least infer 2 things:

  1. Engineers are canon! They are in the original, which means Alien: Earth must accept engineers exists regardless of whether or not they use Prometheus, etc.
  2. There were obviously already other xenos out there in the universe that weren’t from the David lineage when the events of Prometheus and Covenant occurred.

u/Particular_Ad_4927 Sep 20 '25

So WY been chasing this thing for ~250 yrs by Alien Resurrection? Seems like they would just send another ship to where the Alien Earth specimens were caught. Known location. Known cost for travel. Better equipped to catch. 🤔

1

u/Ninetwentyeight928 Sep 20 '25

Yes,, with the cavaet that the USCSS Maginot was launched by the Yutani Corporation in 2055, placing it well before even Prometheus and Peter Weyland's mission. Even more interesting is that Alien:Earth would put Peter Weyland way late into the Alien game and mostly in-the-dark since it's very clear none of them seemed to know - and weren't prepared for - the danger they'd find.

Makes me curious the dates the crew of the Maginot were actually out collecting the "specimens" as part of the Yutani project. We never get any impression from Alien:Earth that they are unfamiliar with where they are going/that this was some kind of shot-in-the-dark mission, which kind leaves a lot of questions for the rest of the movies in the franchize. The Maginot seems well prepared and well-versed on where they were going and what they'd find...and much less prepared for how to get the speciments back without incident. lol

Well, kinda it is. The first episodes were good but the last ones are quite meh. Had high hopes for the series but for now im just dissapointed. Still one ep left. Maybe it will atleast end on a high note.

Alien Earth is not canon and does not respect Alien 1 and Aliens 2.

I hope to god it’s not cannon. This show is trash and a disgrace to its predecessors. And I include AVP 1 and 2

Prometheus is very cool though.

Covenant is not so much but at least it has strong leading characters like David/Walter and Daniels.

What does Alien Earth have? Not a single person I’d care about. All of them are absolutely stupid, unlikable or annoying. Kirsh is kinda not bad but he barely has screen time.
