Talk:Simon Furman
Our anonymous editor has added an odd comment here about Furman "denouncing" cartoon stories as non-real. This... seems like a weird thing to write. Has Furman actually done this? (And incidentally, editor at IP 206.162.192.39, if you're going to make more than a few edits, it's nice to create an account so we can associate an identity with your work. It's a lot easier to remember a nick than an IP address.) --Steve-o 04:35, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- I believe he's referencing the Ultimate Guide's entry on the Dinobots, where he says the cartoon origin was bogus and the comic origin was the true story. I can't think of any other occurrences, so I don't think we can really generalize that as a over-arching disposition. --ItsWalky 04:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
This may be a reference to the fact that the UK letters page answerers (written largely if not entirely by Simon) frequently explained the difference between the comic and cartoon by saying that the cartoon was a fictionalized version of the "real" events happening in the comic, but that they often got things wrong. -LV 05:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- Wasn't there also something in the comic version of "Big Broadcast of 2006," where it's kinda implied that the events of the cartoon are too ridiculous to be true and have just been made up by Wreck-Gar? That was how it was described in "Prime Targets," anyway. --Thylacine 2000 18:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- That bit in Prime Targets was pretty much just fanon. At the end of the comic adaptation of Big Broadcast we learn that the entire event was just a bizarre dream of Wreck-Gar's, but the author of Prime Targets decided to apply that to the entire G1 cartoon. It's a fun fan theory, sure, but nothing bordering official. --DrSpengler 19:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
