Re: An old issue regarding what's canon

In Response To: Re: An old issue regarding what's canon (UNSC_Trooper)


: HBBO will certainly be used for debating inconsistencies and trying to solve
: them while staying within canonical limits.

: Halo Wars and Chronicles are definitely going to be canon, so is the Halo
: movie. (I'm still in a state of denial regarding Halo Wars, but what can
: you do?)

Deny it. Why does it have to be canon? It's not Bungie.

: As for expansions Microsoft will develop which might not be recognized as
: official canon by Bungie ... we'll have to debate that once those games
: will be released. Anything with Bungie stamps, so far, should be
: considered canon. So Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo Wars are the first
: level of canon, followed by other Bungie-authorized published material.

There's a problem with that. Prior to independence, there was very little that could go on that wouldn't get a "stamp" of some kind or other, even if it was just a non-commital "yeah we provided them some material and they're good guys we can't wait to see what they do with it" sort of stamp.

If it was something that Bungie really, really didn't want to happen, they could probably have stopped it.

If it was something they couldn't stop, then they probably couldn't avoid giving a stamp. There was very likely no middle of the road there at all.

Now MS owns Halo but doesn't own Bungie. You might not ever get a "Bungie" stamp on anything related to Halo that doesn't come from Bungie.

What matters more here? Who owns the thing, or who created it?

Was Myth 3 canon? If Take Two authorized an Oni 2 or a Marathon 4, would they be canon?
