Regarding Halo canon

Mordo · November 30, 2014, 02:29:10 PM

Except Disney officially retconned the entirety of the EU. Get over it, and cry some more. Your subjective preference over the EU isn't going to change the fact that it objectively does not exist anymore. Your analogy of the Halo books is also fallacious, given the fact that 343 has not actively disregarded the material as canon. The comparison doesn't even work, and it never will, until the day that 343 denounces the books as official lore.

Screaming "it's not canon because I say so" makes you look like a self centered twat that can't deal with change. If you want to exist in your own little bubble of blithe ignorance where EU exists and Episode VII doesn't, be my guest. Just don't act like it is objective fact.

We've been trolled hard, guys. GG Noelle.

Except MS, 343 or whoever never said the things outside the games besides a few things aren't canon. With Bungie the Reach game overruled the book other than that the books were canon even when they were doing Halo. With Star Wars Disney which controls Star Wars so anything they say goes stated the majority of the EU isn't canon anymore. You're just going full retard.

I don't consider Halo Legends and Wars canon, personally.
I know there's a few justifications for them but they both fucked some stuff up.

As far as I'm aware, neither 343 nor Bungie has declared all of those things non-canon.

The EU is a fucking mess anyway.

You're ass is super mad.

Halo's EU is canon because they've been declared canon by both Bungie and 343.
Star Wars EU isn't canon because it's been declared non-canon by Disney.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to not be able to comprehend this.

When was star Wars mentioned?

I agree with that. I know hardly anything about it but with the amount of EU there is it would be hard doing your own movies without contradicting it. It was a good idea for Disney to declare nearly everything in the EU not canon. That way they are free to do their own thing. It was kinda dumb for them to make the periods that take place hundreds or thousands of years before their movies non-canon. But they can always go back to that stuff look though the more popular ones or ones that would go with what they're doing and make them canon again.

it's a shame too, because there is a lot of good stuff in it. Honestly, I think considering the EU(at least the stuff that took place within a time period relevant to the movies)non-canon to the movies is the best the thing they could have done.

I consider the books canon until they conflict with the games, in which case I'd give the games priority.

K'tan Dantaktee · November 30, 2014, 05:34:59 PM

Nope; anything officially released by Bungie, Microsoft, or 343 is canon. I however, am prone to discrediting crap that 343i releases if it directly breaks previously established canon; same thing I did with Bungie and That Which Shall Not Be Mentioned.

Flooding the front page with bumps of old threads does count as spam. Don't take it much further.
