Also on an ATSV note…

I'm like. Notoriously bad at recognizing unreliable narrators and the likes so I don't really have much place to talk, but like. I thought we all sort of agreed that "canon events" were bullshit, right?

Like the only proof we get is a vague personal anecdote (that could possibly be chalked up to the proven issues with dimensional travel) and something that happened immediately after a super-collider went off (which also has been established to have similar reality-fucking effects). Plus, the time frames are incredibly dissimilar- we can assume that Miguel had at least a few days with his wife and kid before the universe started tearing itself apart; meanwhile, Pavitr's dimension apparently goes to hell in a matter of minutes after a cop lives. And double meanwhile, we've been shown at least three universes (Gwen's and both of the Mileses') with averted canon events that are, at the very least, taking a enough time longer than Pavitr's to collapse to prove that the latter's was something other than broken canon.

Additionally, the apparently set in stone issue of glitching is able to be fixed with a wristband without tearing apart universes, so what would make broken canon that much different and unfixable?
