you know, they Could just say that silver has been lying when he talks about his world and the way he travels back to the past. they could still make a storyline about post-06 silver that dips into existential horror and does something interesting with him. they still have the opportunity to determine some rules for the way time-travel works and do so without looking directly at the player and spelling it out for them. like silver hasn't had significant appearances outside of forces and spin-offs after his debut and thus his exact position in the world is vague at best and highly up for interpretation. most doors are still open. they could still make him canonically interesting

#soda offers you a can #pushing my existential horror silver agenda but like you have to admit that would go pretty hard #and patch up vagueness about why he's still here post-06 #like fully and wholly canon-compliant silver has lost his edge i feel #cinnamon roll time traveler eats apple and falls for updog #too smooth. you can't grab that in any meaningful way #perhaps his life in the future brings a source of conflict but because we know nothing about it post-06 #that's only speculation. and post-06 implies that the future is fixed and fine anyway #except when it isn't in forces. but forces is in many ways a dumpsterfire that fails at appealing to everyone #whatever the comics are doing is to me dubiously canon at best. like they are their own timeline entirely to me #so they aren't exactly anything to go by either imo #and the end result is a character who was filed smooth by the mere fact he was brought back with no further elaboration #shadow was brought back without him losing his edge and arguably became more fleshed out as a result #silver doesn't have anything #he can be a goofass idc but if i can't grasp his character firmly there's nothing captivating for me to bother with #and thus i must carve the edges in myself
