deanb Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I disagree, as stated in my previous post. I was actually replying to Hothearts theory. I guess it's you who stuck mine in a spoiler thing? Ill add the title on top Also isn't Legends the anime? Surely it's not massively canon?

Yantelope Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Halo Yeah, it really seems like Bungie said "Humans are the forerunners that survived" and 343 said, "meh, we have a better idea" Edited January 6, 2011 by Yantelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Also isn't Legends the anime? Surely it's not massively canon? Yeah, only the games are truly canon. Even the books, some of which were written by Bungie employees, aren't truly canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 A movie seems to be too expensive to be non-canon. I would think it'd be a setup for future media. It reminds me a lot of The Animatrix. As a result I'm inclined to believe that 343 considers it canon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Basically I believe it's status is "canon except where it conflicts with the games." *Edit* - Halopedia seems to agree with me: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halopedia:Canon_Policy#Superior_Canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Halo Dean has the right sort of idea. It's a common theme among sci-fi work. I think Halo Legends was deliberately playful with canon and that, apparently, the episode involving Cortana's account of Forerunners couldn't be trusted anyway because of 'AI Rampancy' (which is what Guilty Spark was under the influence of during the games). Halopedia has this. http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Librarian Which is based on terminals ingame. Also, read the very last point in Trivia here: http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Forerunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Well fine then. Terminal thing convinces me, since it's even the same game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewblaha Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Legend of Legaia. Cort is Noa's brother, and Noa is actually the baby princess who was rescued by the Soren. Destroying the Mist Generator by Conkram causes the city itself (which is a giant Seru) to close, in turn, killing Noa's parents. Cort doesn't die, but rather swallows your entire home village and creates a castle that is a living Seru. Cort throws a moon on you. You survive. Alan Wake WTF? KotOR II The same shit happens with both endings. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Mallow is actually a prince. Mass Effect 2 The Collectors are actually Protheans. Dragon Age: Origins Only a Grey Warden can kill the Archdemon, and in turn must sacrifice their life for it. Fable III Walter and Major Swift die. Dead Space Nicole is dead. The first letter of the chapter name spell out "Nicole is dead." The writing on the wall in that fucking creepy writing spells out "Nicole is dead." The Marker is manmade.

The writing on the wall in that fucking creepy writing spells out "Nicole is dead." This one pisses me off. I saw that, unmarked and unprotected, on a Google search, before I actually played the game. It really fucked up the mood of the whole thing.

Rignarok followed Succoria to our world in order to kill her, but due to the trip and the fact that she saw humans ruled earth in the future she was about to die, Rignarok took care of her and then they had a son.

Pirandello Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 My turn! Dark Reign - The Future of War: The entire campaign, played from either side, is a virtual simulation. You are being tested for your aptitude of being a military commander so you can be sent back to the past and prevent your homeworld and your leader from dying. Section 8: The enemy's commander is an AWOL soldier from your corps! That's how he knew how to screw around with you guys! KEEL HIM. MDK2: You saved the world. Again. And guess what? We return back to square one. Where absolutely nothing happened. Kurt is still a janitor, Doc Hawkins is still mad, and Max stays the awesome six-armed-dog-with-guns that he is.
