Talk:Movie continuity family

Events in this continuity come from two sources. Agent X leaked much of what is known in the Sector Seven alternate reality game. The prequel novel, Ghosts of Yesterday is also set in this continuity. So, what exactly says "Ghosts of Yesterday" is part of this "real" continuity? Wouldn't it just be part of the same disinformation campaign as the movie itself? --KilMichaelMcC 18:17, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

That is a good question, and I don't know the answer. That is just what Derik told me. - Starfield 19:01, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

Aside the various conflicts that prevent Ghosts from betting with the movie-- the ARG itself made a reference to the the book.

It was a bit of a half-hearted reference, IMO- it felt like an afterthought rather than a serious attempt to draw the two together, but it was there.

Also, the very update the ARG had (the 1982 video) while not referencing the book per-se, at least addressed one of the big guestions of Ghost's ending; if Starscream knew Earth's location in 1969, why did he take 50 years to show up? Answer: He didn't. -Derik 19:17, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

If you're following the logic of the ARG, then only the ARG itself is "real" and the movie and all its tie-ins are part of Hungry Dragon 2. So unless "Ghosts of Yesterday" was published by Agent X, it would also have to be part of the disinformation campaign. --KilMichaelMcC 19:28, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

I propose "Real continuity" be renamed "ARG continuity", or something to that effect. And that it is listed secondarily to the actual, proper "disinformation" continuity, which as I imagine anyone who's interested thinks of as the "real" continuity for the movieverse. - Chris McFeely 18:30, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

Sounds reasonable. - Starfield 19:01, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

And it says "two continuities" - but surely the "Twilight's Last Gleaming" continuity from the Titan comics, which very deliberately diverges from the movie's events rather than being an "accidental" micro-continuity, should get more than a footnote? - SanityOrMadness 19:34, 19 May 2009 (EDT)

I guess I was thinking there were two "families" of sorts. The ARG continuity which self-identified itself as the "real" one and a family of stories invented by Sector Seven which are all disinformation. This isn't necessarily the best way to present it, but that's what I was thinking. If you can improve it, go ahead. - Starfield 19:54, 19 May 2009 (EDT)
