In Response To: Re: Interesting Frankie Quote (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : I think there's a distinction that some aren't aware of. Retcon isn't : necessarily a bad thing. It's how it's handled that makes it good or bad. : To me, the integrated maneuvering jets in the Chief's armor is acceptable : retroactive continuity. It's a new functionality that has been added later : than initially designed and it maintain continuity. If its new functionality added latter than initially designed then it *breaks* continuity, not maintains it. Several previous events are no longer comprehensible if this functionality existed at the time, and no opportunity is given later for it to be added. : The shoulders for example (or even the gauntlets between Halo 2 and 3 are bad : examples of retroactive continuity. Continuity is broken because : apparently no chance was around for the shoulders or gauntlets to have : been physically altered. I don't get it. The objection to the jetpacks and the shoulders is the same-- lack of opportunity. But where the appearance of the shoulders and gauntlets are utterly, utterly irrelevant, because they affect neither gameplay nor plot, you point it out as a break in continuity-- while giving a free excuse to a modification also made without opportunity that literally ruins the character significance of previous cinematic cutscenes. Why?
