Re: Nothing should be considered canon

In Response To: Re: Nothing should be considered canon (Gravemind)


: I think you're overreacting to other people's supposed overreactions. While I
: do find the inconsistencies between the game's arsenals annoying, I don't
: consider whole games non-canonical because the weapons are different from
: previous portrayals. However, for you to state "nothing should be
: considered canon," which is the polar opposite of "they changed
: some minor thing, so the whole game isn't canon," is just as wrong of
: a stance to take. If there are blantant, major story retcons, that just
: smacks of bad or lazy writing. We can gloss over minor details like
: weapons, but when multiple, major story elements — dates, events,
: character portrayals — don't match up, then something is wrong. While
: demanding 100% complete consistency down to the smallest details is going
: a bit overboard, so is simply excusing even the most gross violations of
: continuity just because you got pissed at someone else's complaints.

and you're misreading sarcasm, as noted above-- it's happens to the best of us

You cannot fall off the floor.
