Deciphering the downfall of the USCSS Theseus and the fate of its crew
I wasn't sure whether to do this as a blog or a test page, but I thought it is probably best in a blog — here, I'll be trying to decipher the mess that is the order of events and characters of the story of the from AvP: The Hunt Begins' main two campaigns (the base game and Hot Landing Zone) as well as the various add-on expansions and the Unleashed mode. Hopefully, this will allow me to get a stable base ground set up from which can be referenced for the creation of THB related pages.

Aliens: Space Marines review
I've been wanting to do some reviews of material in the franchise for a while and with how much research I've been doing into this series of comics, I thought I'd start with these. Obviously, SPOILER ALERT.
Aliens: Space Marines is a fun little adventure story that follows alternate versions of the characters from the timeless 1986 classic, Aliens. Known as the Space Marines (flashy 90s era Colonial Marines), the characters travel across several planets (and a moon) combating a potential invasion of Earth. These comics came packaged with the Kenner Products Aliens figures and usually told a story relating to the character or Xeno figure that it was packaged with. The comics were written by Dan Jolley, lettered by Dan Nakrosis and edited by …
Ridley Scott, Neill Blomkamp, and the Destruction of the Alien Franchise
This just a WIP/placeholder draft, I have plans to expand on this post, I just wanted to get it made so I don't forget to make it in the future.
First I should probably state just how much I loathe the two individuals mentioned in the title of this blog for what they are trying to do (or in the latter's case wanted to do) to the franchise and how glad I am that the so-called "Alien 5" was scrapped. Now with that out of the way, let's get into the meat of this blog post.
So I should probably elaborate on what I mean by "the destruction of the Alien franchise", so I'll start with the man who only agreed to come back to the franchise if he was allowed to divert it from its roots. Not only does this man have the audacity to try and say that the s…
Raven Fan Theory
This is my personal view on one possible explanation for the Raven.
Disclaimer - obviously the devs of ACM never intended this to be the case but I don't believe they ever even had an explanation for the Raven's origins and just wanted a cool new boss Xeno without putting any real thought into it.
A large, intelligent, powerful, durable, and aggressive Xenomorph, ostracized from the others deep in the sewers and capable of commanding lesser castes? This description reminds me a lot of another particular caste, the Praetorians who share similar traits and are ostracized from the hive when they begin to develop into Queens. The Raven is of course, not a Praetorian... But what if it was something similar? I believe that the Raven could be a dama…
Comprehensive AVP Timeline project (WIP)
Just setting this page up for now. Going to try and edit as often as I can to create a complete and dated chronological timeline of every piece of media (that tells a story). This includes contradictory information which I will highlight in orange (as it turns out, everything contradicts everything, so I won't be doing this for the main timeline). I will also include crossovers highlighted in purple and explicitly stated non-canon/alternate universe works that aren't crossovers in red. My end goal is to create multiple 'canon' timelines that show where everything fits together and where it doesn't. For now, I will no longer be updating the canon timelines with any new (or old) novels or comics as the canonicity of them is a very blurry line. …
