It kinda is, because of Bishop in Aliens. He is a clone of the real Charles Bishop Weyland in AVP and I forget how he became a clone in the early movies. I'll have to look that up.

I get it, but this reminds me of a little pet peeve of mine:

As the late Karl Bishop Weyland android in the Aliens vs. Predator video game from 2010 said, "A dying billionaire travels to a frozen wasteland. He knows his chances are slim, but he knows what he finds there could change the face of history. My ancestor, Charles Bishop Weyland."

Why do I need to play a video game to add context to a movie and make it canon? These franchises get so bloated (Star Wars being the worst offender) that asking a simple question inevitably leads to someone saying "well, ackshually..." and goes on to talk about some random chapter in a random book I'm never going to read. Another minor example: the original Predator takes place in Valverde (a common fake country used in action movies set in Central or South America). You wouldn't know unless you read the novelization, as it's never mentioned in the movie where they are.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that Peter is Charles Bishop Weyland's son?
