I'm guessing they're not included because, unlike the movies added in this collection, those movies don't follow Ellen Ripley. Collections should only be used for true movie sequels or series of stand-alone films and mixed series marketed as proper sequels, like Saw and Final Destination. Collections shouldn't be used to list all movies in a particular universe.
Alien vs. Predator and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem are crossover spin-offs of their respective franchises so have their own collection here: https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/115762
This is silly. List the Alien movies in the Alien collection. The last thing this place needs to do is became even more like TVDB, where mods rule with a clear obsession for control.
Forget it guys, it's being proven way too many times that moderators in TMDB are either too arrogant or incompetent to even listen to feedbacks.
The only reason there's people coming to this site is mainly because of Jellyfin or similar platform that forces us to.
I would disable TMDB the 1st second when Jellyfin allows that.
I only use IMDB because how much more aligned they are, with common sense.
This is a Universe (franchise) by the way, not a Collection (sequel). Universes are a completely different feature that is unfortunately not build yet.

This definition is very wooly, it is also clearly challenged by the fact that you have Star Wars Ep i-ix in the same collection, despite the fact that these are clearly three trilogies within the same universe
The exclusion of AVP makes complete sense, they are very unrelated and the crossover potential means that they would then require inclusion into multiple collections
The fact that Scott is involved with Prometheus and Covenant clearly show that these are at least as directly related as the Star Wars collection
Using Ripley's involvement as a beard to hide behind is also flawed, because Alien Resurrection doesn't include Ripley, it is a clone of Ripley, and therefore does not concern the original character
I'm so far failing to see any logical reason why Star Wars is treated any differently, except perhaps because of it's vociferous fanbase

Prometheus and Alien: Covenant both follow the android David so they have their own collection here: https://www.themoviedb.org/collection/135416
I haven't seen it but from what I understand, Alien: Rolmulus is a standalone film in the Alien franchise.

This is the 'Alien' collection, not the Ellen Ripley collection. Can we please add all films containing the Alien in them please @raze464 ?
