Re: An old issue regarding what's canon
Posted By: My7hosDate: 9/9/08 4:34 a.m.

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


: I'll say it again... it's not a binary "canon" or
: "not-canon" thing. The games are "more canon" than the
: books, and I'd say Staten's authorship easily makes Contact Harvest
: "more canon" than the others.

I cannot see your logic here. How can one novel be "more canon" than the others, simply because one was written by a Bungie employee and the others were written by authors who also had direct access to the Halo Bible via Bungie? They should all be equal in my mind.

Although perhaps with the exception of The Flood, because it was supposed to be a "novelization" of the first game, which should take precedence in any inconsistency.

: Wait... you call it canon because of one cross-reference and a crossover
: mention? That's crazy talk.

Why not? Cross mentioning is one of the best ways to find out if something had the touch of Bungie at all, rather than a total, out-there, side-project. Either ILB had access to Bungie material (however small that access may have been), or Bungie borrowed from ILB. Either way, ILB inched closer to canon than it was before.
