Ridley Scott wasn't taking AvP into account, so no need to spin over all that.
Not that the logic in the film made any sense without AvP.

Forget Predator when talking about the plot. That really had nothing to do with the Alien story. Just some stupid idea they came up with later to cash in on the success of both films.
But yeah, saw it a while ago and there are questions and holes, for sure.
That young lady sure was spry after that operation , dontcha' think? But, what the hell, its a science fiction movie. And that big guy. Pretty intelligent bunch, I would think, considering all of that technology. And yet when confronted by humans, was nothing more than a mindless, monster. Other questions that I have would only give away the plot, so I'll ahve to save them for later.

Pooch, just use the "spoiler tag" it's the "S" with the diagonal line through it (the horrizontal line is just "strike through" text.)

But if it were, you can still have a situation where the Engineer Jockeys create the Aliens...and the Predators managed to get some eggs and just breed them. Neither scenario cancels the other out.

Except that the Predators were breeding the Aliens with the Mayans, so that is an impossible to have them created in the future by cross breeding or mutation.

The impression I'm getting is that the "Alien Xenomorph" is essentially ALREADY created, and while variations exist, most don't vary that much. The Space Jockey ship from the movie Alien apparently crashed 1000 years ago, about the time of the Middle Ages...yet the eggs spawned what we know as an Alien today. Sure, there are variations, like the ceiling-running dog-Alien from #3 movie...but it would seem that the Engineers likely had the Xenomorph Alien created a very long time ago, possibly even pre-dating life on Earth. Meaning, Predators having captured a few in their hunts/travels, could conceivably got ahold of a few, then bred themwith the Mayans. But...the Pred/Mayan breeding/hunt connection is really kinda dumb IMO. Fun storyline for a B-movie...but nothing to get excited about when trying to figure out a different movie by a different writer, different director!
