By "some guy who worked for her" are you referring to the guy who wrote the comics, or to Ian who in his Tweet said they're non-canon? If the latter then we should clarify that Ian isn't JUST some guy who worked for Rebecca, he has been her boyfriend for like a decade and they are married now, LOL! He was the supervising-director of the series and did storyboards with her sometimes, although to be fair the final word on everything is hers, not his, meaning that regardless of whether you were referring to Ian or not, your point is possibly still valid!!!! Here is my reasoning (wall of text as usual but that's because as you guys know I like to be thorough in my logic to help lay issues to rest, but of course I will concede if the majority still disagree):WeeklyBattles said:Pretty sure the creator of the show is more trustworthy than some guy who worked for her
An analogy to help: Let's say Eiichiro Oda's (the mangaka of One Piece) wife Chiaki Inaba were to make some statement about canon for One Piece, like "the movie Strong World wasn't actually canon after-all." Granted, being a huge fangirl of the series who married Oda, she probably knows answers to all the major questions as well as the outline of his plans, and I highly suspect he gets input from her on his plot-decisions since he LOVES input from fans and is married to one. But regardless, if Eiichiro Oda himself were to make a statement contradicting the (hypothetical) one I came up with from her, saying "Strong World IS canon" or "Strong World is SECONDARY/SEMI-canon," then we would have to take his word over hers, as he is the ultimate authority and actual creator of the series.
Based on this analogy, ya guys see why we should probably take Rebecca's statement more seriously than Ian's? Another thing to consider here is that Ian LEFT as a director for the show in 2015, and only came back to do a couple storyboards in the original-series. In the end, he only storyboarded or co-wrote four of the original-series episodes, plus the movie. Based on my analogy plus those reasons, I think it is safe to take Rebecca's word over his and consider the comics Secondary Canon, meaning we can consider them canon as long as they don't contradict the show like Weekly said (and they don't).
Also yeah we have some 7-A calcs for the dura of Rubies which are consistent with the comic-feats anyway. What are the issues with those calcs? They got rammed into at relavistic speeds, right? There some issue with that reasoning?
