It is my belief that it has to come from the author or at least someone affiliated with the rights to the work, because otherwise you can make up your own stories that were in no way implied in the series and still consider them canon. Unless it has to also be quite plausible to be considered canon?Gyt Kaliba wrote: Sure, why not? I mean, so long as it doesn't contradict things (or at least not the things you don't want contradicted), then why not? Such is the glory of the 'personal head-canon'. I still consider much of Online's backstory, and likewise the 'Journey's End' fanfiction, to be part of my own.

Re: The secrets behind Ginyu Force's techniques
Well yeah, and if someone were trying to use something from their own personal head canon as an absolute fact in a debate, then it wouldn't hold any water at all. But so long as it's just something they'd like to consider official for their own viewing of the universe? There's nothing wrong with that at all, at least not to me.hleV wrote:It is my belief that it has to come from the author or at least someone affiliated with the rights to the work, because otherwise you can make up your own stories that were in no way implied in the series and still consider them canon.

Yep, adding this to my personal canon.

Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.
