Scribe Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 BL's policy of "everything is canon and nothing is canon" is essentially a licence for authours to come up with their own interpretions Indeed so, and is how we have 5 versions of certain Primarchs, leading to a far worse product than we could have had.

RandyB Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 BL's policy of "everything is canon and nothing is canon" is essentially a licence for authours to come up with their own interpretions Indeed so, and is how we have 5 versions of certain Primarchs, leading to a far worse product than we could have had. It also avoids the need for a story editor to keep the authors corralled. And it definitely thwarts the self-appointed loremasters among the readers and fans.

b1soul Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Self-appointed loremasters can be thwarted regardless I think the policy is fine for the universe at large, not so much for a series like the HH...they could've struck a better balance between flexibility and consistency Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363040-of-comic-book-storytelling-and-black-library/page/2/#findComment-5589839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
