What about Alien vs Predator?
alien vs predator took place in 2004, and requiem sometime shortly after that in 2004/2005. the events of alien and aliens wouldnt happen for another hundred years after AVP, so they dont need to say or do anything about those two movies because they have little to nothing to do with the main series, unless blomkamp decides to integrate it somehow.
Those were the awful ones though. They make 3 and Resurrection look like masterpieces.

i know, but there is no need to address them at the moment, because this next film will take place after the events of aliens. theyd have no reason to retcon the events of a movie that happened like 200 canon years before the events of Alien 5, especially since the events of the AVP movies have little to no effect on the "alien" universe at large

in any case, i kinda liked avp, even though it kinda shat all over everything i thought i knew about alien/predator. if it hadnt been an AVP movie and just a movie about people finding warring aliens in the arctic, it might have been received better

emigrate or degenerate. the choice is yours
the whole reason the Xenomorphs are called Xenomorphs

...Um, well, they're kind of not, though. At least not officially.
Uh yeah it was. The first mention of the word "Xenomorph" was used in the extended edition of Aliens. The word was never used once in Alien.

when gorman said "xenomorphs" he was referring to genetic extraterrestrial life in general; the name just kind of stuck after that, though.

officially, its hard to say what the proper name for the species is. in the alien quadrilogy dvd their binomial species name is Internecivus raptus ("murdering thief") and in some of the comics they're called Lingua foeda acheronsis, or "foul tongue"

They just remind me of Freddy vs Jason
