Talk:Killzone

Alignment
Okay, the Alignment page claims that this character is a canonized version of the Killzone from that work, while this page claims that it is merely a coincedence. I'm fine either way, but shouldn't it be consistent? Khajidha 13:04, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- Coincidence or not, Killzone has been canonized. I mean, what else do you want?--Jimsorenson 13:23, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- Then this page should say somewhere that this Killzone IS that Killzone. The note as is reads as if they were just two characters with the same name. Khajidha 13:29, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- As far as I understand the situation, GTF Killzone is a character who was created separately from A Killzone. However, they are both part of the same continuity family, have the same faction, gender and name with nothing to contradict they are the same "duck". Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the wiki considers characters alike as this for all intents and purposes the same character. Like Tornado and the same-allied American vs Japanese Micromasters. Geewunling 13:42, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- Wouldn't the solution here be to just ask Sipher? --Jeysie 13:55, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- Sipher's the one who put the note in it's current form stating it was just a coincidence. Seems like he and Jim have a major disagreement about the interpretation. --Khajidha 14:16, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- And the note in its current form is absolutely fine with me. I'm not sure I see ANY difference in interpretation, so once again I wonder what exactly you want to change.--Jimsorenson 17:15, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- Maybe I'm over thinking it, but Alignment linking here seems to say that this IS the same character while saying it is just a coincidence seems to mean it ISN'T the same character. -- Khajidha 19:21, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
- I think you're overthinking it. Read Alignment, it specifically says that it is a coincidence. But again, that's just a statement about authorial intent, and that is something that persuades but doesn't override other considerations.--Jimsorenson 19:35, 2 April 2010 (EDT)

Once again, GTF Killzone has fuck-all to do with Alignment. It was a name I'd had in my "big list of names not used in official TFs" that was appropriately bombastic and silly for a throwaway character. I've never even read Alignment. Pure coincidence, no intent at a tie-in ever. --M Sipher 14:33, 2 April 2010 (EDT)
