#FEH pissing on canon didn't use to bother me as much as it does now

what do you mean by retcon with Lyon's story in heroes?
The retcon that has him act as a supposed #badass in his trash FB where he tells Fomortiis he knows how to defeat him uwu
Sure Jan, even Ross heard of the legend of the Sacred Stones, you seal Fomortiis in a Sacred Stone, and that's it - but the real danger and threat Fomortiis poses lays in the corruption : even sealed in a rock, he can corrupt and manipulate people to do his bidding.
Sure, if you lock the rock with his soul away, he won't do any corruption?
Guess what, that's what happened 800 years ago with the OG Grado, and who was tempted by his power and ultimately fell to his corruption, despite people/the world teaching everyone that "you do not touch that rock it hosts Satan's soul" ?
FEH is FEH thus takes liberties with canon, but it seems FEH!Lyon cannot be the Eph'n'Eirika's pathetic friend (pathetic as in pathos, you feel bad for him, his story is a tragedy!), no, he somehow must be able to "triumph" over Fomortiis...
As for that FB, I found it hilarious how Niime warns Arlen of "easy power", but Sharena wonders if Lyon, out of anyone, would be a good teacher.
Heck, FE13 nailed Lyon better than FEH does (granted, FEH has to twist his character a bit to make him able to sell alts, even if, imho, there was no need? Summer, Valentine, Duo and kid!Lyon are closer to the pathetic!prince who meant well that the fuckery that accursed FB was), if Lyon offers an easy way to get power, we know what this easy way entails !
Granted, this line from Sharena pissed me because it reminded me of that nonsensical FB - but in itself, it can just be written off as "Sharena's talking about stuff she doesn't know a thing about" like her Meet Your Heroes comments...
As @crushednugget and I often meme about, remember how the MYH depicted Fallen!Muarim? And completely eluded the "Izuka drugged him and this person here is a victim of biological experiments done without his consent"?
