In the medium of games, specifically, I would say that this sort of rigid adherence to “the lore” does more damage than good. Games thrive on authenticity, not dogma.
Secondarily, it creates an inflexible “true state” that curtails players’ ability to act in the opportunity space the game proposes.

Obsessive devotion to continuity is the enemy of epic/mythological storytelling—especially when there are many authors involved. Whether we're talking about Star Wars, superheroes, or Bond, the answer is to nail the essence of the story and care less about making it all "fit."
Or just have him start the next film alive and well and then at some point have someone be like "Bond! I thought you got blown up!" And then have him quip "you know better than to listen to rumors," or "what can I say? That was no time to die" and then absolutely refuse to explain further

Blood-drinking sociopathic aristocrats with alienating preferences and prohibitions who serve as a thinly veiled metaphor.

Humanity vs the Beast. How far has one of your characters fallen into being a true monster? Or how far up the ladder of humanity have they managed to climb?

It's been a while since WandaVision but the "60s TV series you love" bit going around here reminded me:
60s Suburban #WorldOfDarkness
Balance the Bewitched side of Sabrina both riffing off Bell Book And Candle with the Chilling Adventures version,
Or is this just Riverdale with extra steps?

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.

Thinking about how I had to go back to Night Road and add a full romance arc for Dove, a Nosferatu whose whole vibe is "Pearl Forrester with a skull face," because the readers demanded it. Hungered for it. I will never understand what my readers want, or why.

'Human nature' is the capacity to categorize others as part of self. Extending the boundaries of concern, people often help strangers in emergencies.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.
