Forum:Manga Alternates

I'm sure most of us know that we don't do alternates for manga deprictions... I just have to wonder, why? We do characters only seen in manga, yes? Manga are considered cannon as well. They are a ligit part of the series, even if they were not written by the Erins. Darkhallows... Mew? 05:07, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

One of the leads decided that they shouldnt, and there was that big discusssion about it. But I disagree. If alternates from manga dont count, how does any description count from a manga? I always thought that was wierd. 05:14, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

I don't remember a disscussion? I must have missed it. I just don't think we should do manga exclusive characters, but not alternates. Perhaps we should open the disscussion back up? Darkhallows... Mew? 08:06, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you guys. I think the characters that are seen with different descriptions should get alternates. But not if it's just a slight alteration. Night shine  18:44, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

The only annoying part is that the manga is in black and white, besides for the covers, it'd be hard to decipher the differences. Scarlet wind Step into the Light 18:46, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

That is true, but if you look at some of them, Russetfur for example, there is a noticable differance. Darkhallows... Mew? 19:17, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Maybe we should only have them if it goes from whatever to black/white. Not gray, because they all turn gray... Just a thought. 19:48, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think there should be pictures for any of them. The mangas were written by different people, and I'm sure the authors used artistic leave for the descriptions. . . 05:10, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but I'm sure the Erins looked and approved at the cover before the book was published. 09:45, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, and I'm sure they have no problem with artistic leave and don't care if they coloured the characters different. 18:54, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Vicky still does the story yes? And artistic lisence or not, they ARE cannon. Darkhallows... Mew? 20:29, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

I just think if they get original pictures (which they do), they are cannon enough for alternates. It just seems like a strange place to draw the line at what gets an image and what doesnt. 21:21, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
