::::: @[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] Inventories aren't quite material like that, it's a core aspect of the game; you can't ''not'' have one. It's par for the course, it is a staple of the medium. We don't say "According to one account, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] was made of [[LEGO]]. ([[WC]]: ''[[Supergirl Meets E.T. (webcast)|Supergirl Meets E.T.]]'')", we take into account that it not meant to be acknowledge literally, that it's part of the medium. You could instead look at this in a different way, wherein the context of this story, the characters have always had Inventories; we wouldn't invalidate something based on discontinuity and/or establishing something inexplicably. | ::::: @[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] Inventories aren't quite material like that, it's a core aspect of the game; you can't ''not'' have one.

::::: There may be merit in discussing whether or not this is supposed to be set in the DWU or the Minecraft world, as nebulous as that is, but my point is that the Doctors having bows isn't something that should necessitate discussion like this. It should not be used as rationale for invalidity. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 21:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC) | ::::: There may be merit in discussing whether or not this is supposed to be set in the DWU or the Minecraft world, as nebulous as that is, but my point is that the Doctors having bows isn't something that should necessitate discussion like this.

::::::: ''[[Friend from the Future (TV story)|Friend from the Future]]'' is actually a somewhat unique, tricky case — the key thing was that footage from it ended up in ''[[The Pilot (TV story)|The Pilot]]'', but edited somewhat differently. The Forum thread's conclusion was that it made the original version akin to the sort of "trailers" that are simply edited clips from an upcoming, fuller story — and the shots unique to the ''FftF'' version of events, "deleted scenes". None of this has a lot of bearing on the breed of arguable-trailers that are made up of unique footage, and indeed, in this case, don't even advertise a specific ''story''. | |||
::::::: But yes, I think "it's focused on showing off the things in the pack rather than a coherent story" hits the nail on the head. This is sort of narrative, but that feels like accident, almost — it's just not ''coherent'', let alone coherently DWU. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 21:52, 5 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
