In Response To: Re: Halo Apologetics *SP* (YNation913) : The former actually keeps me stress free, I don't see why you HAVE to adhere : to facts that simply demean the story just because "canon is canon if : we like or not." : Well for some of the stories set in Halo I prefer the "or not"

While i agree with you on the fact some of the story elements break the meaning or purpose of the main story, I've come to the conclusion that no matter how much one tries, one can't stop them from being canon. But that doesn't mean there can't be inconsistencies, or that everything needs to be justified. In fact, what keeps me stress free is, to acknowledge that some of the elements do not make sense, and then complain about them. I don't have the "apologetic" attitude because if one tries hard enough, they can always find a reason to justify things, no matter how riduculous they are. If something is too ridiculous to be justified by any other means, you can simply say "a wizard did it". My point being, justifying everything will eventually take away the integrity and meaning of the story. It'll become a convoluted mess where anything can be thrown in and it'll be acceptable. What makes the Halo universe, or any fiction interesting, is that there are clear and established boundaries, and that those limits are followed. If they're not, the fiction loses its purpose.
