They actually had a Weyland Yutani logo in her eyes and on a truck in the new predator badlands trailer, we could be back full canon again maybe? Or at least setting up xenomorphs and predators in the predator universe while mainstream alien is seperate? Who knows, what are the theories? Is this a good decision?

A follow-up/alternative to a previous thread I did, where I asked how a Predator would fare if it landed on The Boys' version of Earth and started hunting their superheroes.
Here's the bit about The Boys' universe again just for those who didn't see my last thread:
"The Boys is a comic/TV series that serves as a darker take on the Superhero genre; showing heroes as been created by a corporation called Vought International using a drug called "Compound V", with said heroes (known as "Supes") also been celebrities.
However, the majority of these Supes (based on DC and Marvel superheroes) are morally bankrupt, corrupt and some of them outright vile in one way or another - with the most powerful/well known of the Supes belonging to the group known as "The Seven", led by the psychopathic Superman-esque character, Homelander."
In this scenario, a situation similar to Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem occurs, with a Predator ship crashing on Earth in a more remote location - due to the unexpected birth of a Warrior-Type Predalien - and with multiple Facehuggers that were onboard escaping, with some unlucky people getting attacked and birthing new Xenomorphs; one of which becomes a Queen.
After establishing a new Hive, the Predalien heads out to hunt for superior hosts; learning of the existence of Earth's "Supes" and managing to start taking down some of them (thanks to its strength due to been born from a Yautja) before dragging them back to the hive to become hosts - resulting in the birth of "superpowered" Xenomorphs.
With the Hive and its inhabitants eventually attracting the attention of Vought and its Superheroes after reports of mysterious deaths, both citizens and Supes going missing and sightings of "monsters", how do you think this would eventually play out?
Would the Superheroes be able to eliminate the Xenomorphs and their hive, or - like the Alien Ending in Mortal Kombat X - would their attack ultimately fail?

Since my last thread on this was locked for unjust reasons before I could make my next reply, I'm continuing the discussion with a new thread.
Anyway, as the title says, Aliens: Colonial Marines should be listed as canon on this wiki. You can see my main arguments for that in the other thread I made (as long as it doesn't get deleted) so I won't rehash them here. But beyond the arguments I've already made, I would also say it should be listed as canon according to this wiki's own policy on what is or is not considered canon. Here are the relevant quotes from the Xenopedia:Canon page and my reasoning as to why they apply:
"Ultimately, the final word on what is part of canon rests with 20th Century Fox."
As this quote says, Fox (and Disney, since they own Fox now) has the final word. The last official statement on the matter of whether or not the game is canon was back when the game was released. And that statement said the game is canon. No official statement from either Fox or Disney since then has contradicted that, so it is entirely reasonable to assume the original statement of the game being canon still stands.
"Likewise, some media from lower tiers has been conclusively confirmed as canon by Fox, despite the fact it contradicts the theatrical film series, as is notably the case with Aliens: Colonial Marines."
Not only does this quote specifically mention Aliens: Colonial Marines as being "conclusively confirmed as canon", it also opens the door for materials that openly contradict the films to still be considered canon. Especially when we couple this quote with the previous one about Fox having the final say on what is or is not canon.
I initially asked this question over on The Boys wiki, now I'll see how this side of the aisle thinks it may go down.
For those who don't know, The Boys is a comic/TV series that serves as a darker take on the Superhero genre; showing heroes as been created by a corporation called Vought International using a drug called "Compound V", with said heroes (known as "Supes") also been celebrities.
However, the majority of these Supes (based on DC and Marvel superheroes) are morally bankrupt, corrupt and some of them outright vile in one way or another - with the most powerful/well known of the Supes belonging to the group known as "The Seven", led by the psychopathic Superman-esque character, Homelander.
With all that said, what do you think would happen if a Predator landed on Earth in "The Boys" universe?
Since Supes would definitely be more dangerous than regular humans (but also very worthy game as a result), how well do you think one of these stealthy extraterrestrial hunters would do?
Would said Predator succeed in take down most/all Supes, or do you think this would ultimately end with the "hunter" becoming the "hunted" - regardless of whether it's able to activate its self-destruct device?
Curious to see what you guys think.

Hey, guys. Weird question but what are some books, games, comics, etc. that play off of Sigourney Weaver’s fantastic final message for the Nostromo? An example off the top of my head would be Hooper’s message in Out of the Shadows.

As the title says, I'm wondering why the game Aliens: Colonial Marines is constantly referred to as non-canon on this wiki? I get that it is widely regarded as a terrible entry into the franchise from both a gameplay and narrative perspective, but all the research I have done shows that the official position of 20th Century Fox is that the game is, indeed, canon. And nothing I've seen seems to indicate that they have officially altered or reversed that stance. Just because the story was terrible doesn't change the fact that it is still part of series canon until the owner of the IP (Fox/Disney) officially says otherwise.
Not to mention, labeling Aliens: Colonial Marines as non-canon just for having a bad story that creates plot holes is inconsistent with the standards applied to other source material. After all, if Aliens: Colonial Marines gets rejected by this wiki/community for creating plot holes, why isn't the same standard applied to the film Alien: Covenant? That movie was just as bad from a narrative consistency standpoint as Aliens: Colonial Marines, yet one gets rejected from series canon by the fans and the other isn't.

He was a badass fighter, taking on all the Xenomorphs and Predalien all on his own.
Plus he had the 2 shoulder blasters.

The Shuriken, super cool.
Scar rocked it.
In the scene where it shows three skulls in the predator's trophy bag, they are the soldiers:
Billy Sole - because we saw the predator doing that after the fight;
Mac Eliot - because one of the skulls has a hole above the eyes and there is the scene where the predator shot Mac in the head from that angle;
Al Dillon - because like Billy and Mac, he had decided to face the predator face to face.
It is not the skull of Jorge "Poncho" Ramirez because the predator shot him in the left side of the head and not in the forehead.
