Talk:Planet of the Rain Gods (comic story)

Can this really be counted as canonical? Tardis1963 talk 08:39, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

It's not a valid source, no. Whether you want to count it as part of your personal canon is up to you, but this wiki doesn't think it can be used as a source for the writing of in-universe articles.

Invalid?

Is there a reason why this is still invalid? I don't see how it breaks the 4 rules.Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 23:59, October 26, 2020 (UTC)

Is there a thread concerning the validity of this story? Epsilon (Contact me) 00:08, October 27, 2020 (UTC)

Not that I'm aware of, no. Honestly, I think that people just confused this and the actual deleted scene. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 00:21, October 27, 2020 (UTC)

I can't find the thread that decided this, but I'm fairly certain I came across a discussion of its invalidity once. The rationale, at any rate, is rather stouter than merely confusion with the comic story.

Essentially, the rationale is that this is akin to the animatic-webcast version of P.S.: a reconstruction of what might have been, rather than an attempt to tell a fully-fledged DWU story in its own right. It is, henc,e held to break Rule 4. It's not "here are events in the DWU", it's "here is a simulacrum of what a TV prologue about the DWU might have been like if it had been filmed as originally planed". --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 00:34, October 27, 2020 (UTC)

But the thing is, P.S. was never finished. This comic adaptation is finished and was released in the annual. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 01:05, October 27, 2020 (UTC)
