>>136589530Anon, his wording choice is very specific - they "include IDW and Prime", he never says they share a continuity. Both Prime and IDW, albeit to a lesser extent, show that the events of Classic DID happen in their respective pasts. And both obviously take place with some of the Modern events taken into account (IDW taking place after Forces and Prime being unspecified, but clearly some time after SA2 and StH). What Ian is trying to say is that the events of Classic/Modern clearly happened or exist in IDW and Prime, but that doesn't mean they all 100% share the same continuity either.
He intentionally fudged things to leave space open or room to correct himself, like he does here, but oftentimes people also either misinterpret what he's saying or flat out don't explain themselves properly. Same shit happened when he weighed in on that Death Battle way back when, where he didn't quite understand the reasoning made because nobody bothered to explain in their questions or responses the actual context that was being used. Same shit here.
