Never has been, never will be! Even if I thought it was good (which I unfortunately do not), what I want doesn't matter. In this instance all I want is the truth and the truth is that it's clearly not the last episode. Just because you think it's unfair how the creators of this show made MA, doesn't mean it's fair for you to dismiss MA as never happening.

BTW, have you two ever stopped to consider that these sources have just been telling you want to hear all along instead of just being honest? THAT is why I can't listen to them when I've got the episode itself spelling it out to me that what happened happened! I especially can't listen to Brandon. Even though he wrote Part 1 of MA, this series isn't his creation, it's not his vision, he wants to stay in with the fan base so him saying what everyone's throwing around and wanting to be true has to be considered as an out for him so he can avoid himself getting in trouble with the fans. Plus he's a liar. When I pointed out on his Instagram account that it looks like they made a mistake regarding TCs rival in Tale of Tiger Claw as opposed to what he said in his debut episode, he lied by asking me how do I know TC wasn't lying back then--which obviously wasn't the case. Before I could reply he blocked me. Also you have to consider that these pages also just want to tell you what you want to hear so you'll like them and view their pages more even though they also can't provide you any evidence that what you saw didn't happen. THAT is why you can't listen to them and that is why I go by what's on the screen and pretty much always will. "These sources" are official mouthpieces from the network, honey, or do you think they let the official Twitter account for the entire franchise be run by anyone who wants to do it? They did indeed say it, and in fact went out of their way to do so (they could have been silent, but were not, and they don't talk much directly to the fans - and those line up with earlier statements about the MA arc, such as it being a "possible" future or "this reality"). As for "these pages" or Brandon Auman, I have no idea what you're talking about, but it seems slightly paranoid to think that anyone with authority who denies your viewpoints on canon is merely lying.

(It also seems rather biased to presume that, especially based on an unsatisfactory answer about a continuity error that is quite minor compared to MA's)

And no, I never considered that, because there's no reason for them to pander to a fanbase for a show that is practically over. It makes no sense for Nickelodeon to even allow MA to be canon, considering it is their franchise, their property, their potential use of the series in future (since two of the three TMNT series so far have had callbacks to prior incarnations).

It's also not possible for Nickelodeon to be dishonest about canonicity because, as I said, they get to determine canonicity for the entire franchise in all media. They make the decisions about whether it is or not. It's like saying God is being dishonest about whether the Earth is round.

I don't particularly care whether you think it's "fair" or not for me to point out the bleedin' obvious, because "fairness" changes nothing about what actually is, which is that the MA arc makes no sense with preestablished canon and has been stated not to be canon by a mouthpiece of the actual network. Nor do I care that you disregard all WoG, because that remains YOUR PERSONAL standard and not those of the rest of the world. I don't have to adhere to YOUR PERSONAL standard, and neither does anyone else. I have standards that are based on something tangible.
