In Response To: Re: They Lost the Thread of the Story (Philtron)

: I think there's a couple people disagreeing with you, but I don't see it as
: negative. I can certainly tell you that I have no negative feelings
: towards you or your opinions.

Heh, that's good to hear. And I certainly don't think ill of you, either! Or think that you were being rude or anything; it just seemed odd to me that no one seemed interested in speculating at all, and quick to dismiss the references entirely.

: As for my last line... it's like easter eggs. Just because an easter egg
: appears in the story doesn't mean it's part of the canonical story you're
: supposed to take seriously.

: Like, in Destiny there's a scannable pod and most people interpret Ghost's
: dialogue to mean that the Master Chief is in the pod. That doesn't mean
: Master Chief is a canonical part of Destiny's story; it's just an easter
: egg. I remember in Halo Reach there's an underground room you can get to
: that's an homage to the real world Halo fan community; but that doesn't
: mean that the real world fan community is part of the Halo universe.
: That's sort of what I mean when I say something can be in the story but
: not part of the story.

Okay, I understand what you mean a bit better now. I do agree that interpretations of or theories about things in the story aren't themselves part of the story; in the particular case of the grimoire cards, though, their text makes up a LOT of the actual canon story in Destiny (at least this got a bit better with all the cutscenes and extra dialogue in Taken King), so I'm reluctant to throw out any of it even as "just an easter egg." But I see where you're coming from.
