@jackdan85971757@Senninsage oh he means what he says he's just not reliable as the first conversation he has with Chief is acting like he knows what Halo does cause they had a conversation about it 100 thousand years ago and is thus a schizoid that thinks Chief is a particular Forerunner
Cope tho
@jackdan85971757@Senninsage Translation: "you can refer to sources in Bungie lore that contradict my interpretation but I'll ignore them"
*Humans were INTENDED to be Forerunner but its not explicit and there's continuity knots
Fixed it for you
The "people" being insufferable illiterate bungietards?
@jackdan85971757@Senninsage Intention =/= what's in the material itself
I wonder why you would ignore specific pieces of lore from that era that contradict your conclusion like Halo 3 IRIS, Halo 3s terminals and Cradle of Life all of which is the lore in the tweet you responded to not "343 era" larper
@Whimsy_Wizard@The_Nadei this is the crux with Bungie fans Spark is always the reliable narrator despite straight up being shown as a schizoid in his first appearance
@Evistille@Denit41@MarvicMumb60908@McKean_enjoyer This is cope it's in the material it supercedes the authors intentions this is why death of the author as a concept exists
Robert McLees was also part of the terminal team as well
@AngusMcFifePT@inchlongnips@Eatingwarrior01@Senninsage I would prefer they just soft retcon the forerunner human connection as forerunners being a group of uplifted humans that genetically augmented themselves as it seems to be the implication in the new terminals that way humans are more forerunner than the Forerunners themselves
@AngusMcFifePT@inchlongnips@Eatingwarrior01@Senninsage You can make this argument since they do have a throw away line about Reach in CE but Halo 2 is more jarring cause of unanswered questions like Johnston being there which soft retcons Cortana's last line in H1 as well
But people only like to use this position for 343 lol
@TxTSaint@Senninsage Please be serious Bungie nuked it's own lore before 343 even got the property with Reach and 343 has never retconned a single piece of lore outright
@Don_Keon503@Senninsage They've legit only ever retconned small things and have outright made attempts to align Bungies own fuck ups Halo Reach legit nuked the canon long before 343 did anything lol
@disclosure2x@Senninsage@Centurion1437@jackdan85971757 Rampant AI that wasn't physically on Harvest and the guy who thought he had a conversation with Chief 100k years ago
Death of the author their intention doesn't really matter the text supercedes them
It's a soft retcon at best not a hard retcon like bungie fans like to claim
@itslucasio@mooman108O@Senninsage@jackdan85971757 Cause it doesn't settle anything since your position hinges on Guilty Spark being a reliable source and all the opposition has to do is say is he though?
