This Canon Question

[ayngelcat]

Which seems to have loomed again on anon threads.

For what it's worth, I've always liked this old essay, which describes TF as a 'mythology' rather than 'canon.' Maybe its why I've never gotten hung up on the canon issue.

I'm interested in peoples' views (but please no wank - its just an idea I can see some merit in!)

Great article, I never saw that before.

I don't understand why some people are so concerned with 'canon'. I recall the rants about Bay, and I would think, if Hasbro (the holder of 'The Canon') didn't like it, they would have stopped him. Just chill.

Hey, my writing is canon for me. And that's what counts.

Exactly - and there are so many holes in some continuities/story lines that how could you say where canon begins and ends? I'm thinking of the last movie especially LOL

I love your attitude - and am glad you liked the essay <33
