Forum:Subtracting Canon - Brian Reed, Catalog, etc.: Difference between revisions

Despite my absence I've been keeping track of things from behind the scenes and lately I've been noticing some outrageous-ness, inconsistencies, and just blatant insults. We've already had problems with past media that screwed up canon in their own special ways (Kilo-five series, Initiation, etc.). Now we have new editions that are helping to get things back on track from that era but are doing a bit too much. Now this isn't to say the Escalation series is bad, let-alone catalog should be silenced. Not at all. I like the Escalation comic series and have been purchasing every issue that has been released thus far. As for catalog, I haven't been paying to much attention to "him" nor do I even care to. But here's the problem. It seems as though recently the things 343I added to the Halo universe are a bit of a subtraction to the universe despite their intent.

...before anymore damage is done. This "Catalog" guy...I can understand that there are some mysterious that people would like to see get solved. I understand that people have so many questions. Hell, even I like to find out what happened to so and so. Great! But here's the problem, and it goes back to the old saying - ''Leave well enough alone.'' Why? Well with some of the things that Catalog has been revealing, it has been a major subtraction. For example - apparently someone asked about the whereabouts of team saber. Out of nowhere, catalog reveals that they were "killed in action" in Sept 2553. What?! Just kill them off?? Just another example of 343I doing whatever/however they like to previously established canon. Instead of just saying they were reassigned so that maybe they have a potential future story ark that may lead to their deaths, they are just killed off w/o an explanation for the sack of it. 343I needs to take better care of the Haloverse than what they are doing now. They have improved with this at first but now they seem to be going backwards. Which brings me to my next point.
