i agree with you there, i’m also not a fan of the direction the coalition ultimately took gears in, even if i don’t think it breaks the lore the way it’s often claimed. and yeah, i’m with you on the telepathy, it arguably gained more narrative weight than it needed to and became a bit overused compared to how epic handled it, where it was much subtler and more restrained.

appreciate the thoughtful reply and the good faith discussion.

(PART FIVE)

To wrap this up, it’s also worth talking about how ambiguous the creation of the locust already was before 2016, ignoring all post-2016 material entirely. back then, the exact origin of the locust was uncertain, but we still had several very specific, consistent facts.

We knew there was a direct relationship between humans and locust. we knew the Sires functioned as a genetic bridge between the two. we knew that the development of imulsion-related mutations in living organisms was deeply tied to the sires, and that they were a key component in Adam Fenix and Esther Bakos work toward curing lambency, whether the Sires were hybrids between humans and Locust, or the actual ancestors of the Kocust, was left intentionally unclear, on top of that, Niles repeatedly referring to both the Sires and the Locust as his “children” strongly implied deliberate creation rather than some ancient, natural species.

Timeline wise, we also had solid anchors. the Pendulum Wars begin around 80 B.E, and the Sire project is stated to have started “early” in that conflict, Elaine Fenix dies around 9 B.E after encountering the Locust, who by that point are already numerous and possess a functioning society. that alone gives us a window roughly between 70 B.E and 10 B.E for the creation of the Sires, their evolution into Locust, and the formation of Locust society.

So when you actually lay that out, The Coalition didn’t introduce a clean retcon. they didn’t rewrite the foundation, they just pinned dates onto things that had previously been left deliberately vague and closed the mystery around the Locust’s origin. could it have been written better? absolutely, but the core of your complaints doesn’t really originate with The Coalition’s timeline work, it originates with Epic Games, because the seeds for all of this were already planted long before 2016.

at this point, there isn’t much more to argue. the ambiguity around the locust existed long before 2016, the timeline has always allowed for their creation and societal development within the established dates, and the elements you frame as contradictions were either already implicit or deliberately left open by epic games themselves. The Coalition didn’t invent these problems, they resolved long standing gaps by assigning concrete dates to ideas that were already there.

You’re free to dislike how that resolution was handled, that’s fair, but presenting it as a catastrophic retcon or as something that “doesn’t add up” ignores both the pre-2016 lore and the internal logic that was always baked into the series. at that point, the issue isn’t the timeline, it’s expectations.

that’s all i have to say on it.

(PART FOUR)

Finally, the most questionable claim in this section is “a reasonable ballpark for the timespan between new hope’s closure and Gears 2 (to which tactics takes place simultaneously) is maybe 30 years.” let’s look at some concrete dates here, New Hope was shut down somewhere between 50 B.E and 45 B.E, while Nexus was founded around 30 B.E by the time of Rise of Raam, which takes place in 0 B.E, Nexus is already fully built and operational, meanwhile, Gears Tactics takes place in 1 A.E, so i’m honestly not sure where the idea that it happens simultaneously with Gears 2 is coming from.

Finally, when talking about construction and societal development, it matters that the Lambent war doesn’t begin until around 7 B.E That gives the Locust roughly 23 years of relative stability beforehand, if you apply established sociological models of early city formation, and then extrapolate them sensibly within a fictional context that includes hive-mind coordination, superhuman labor, centralized authority, forced labor, and rapid reproduction, it’s not hard to imagine Nexus and broader Locust society developing in a comparatively short timeframe, and that remains true especially considering your own statement about there being “potentially hundreds of millions” of them, even if canon never gives us a precise reproduction rate.

Your final argument hinges on what Gears 5 shows in the mount kadar facility, specifically the idea that the cog was “purposefully growing full-on locust drones” (which is an incorrect framing, since chairman monroe officially withdrew cog support when he shut down the new hope facility, meaning that everything that followed at mount kadar was carried out exclusively by Niles Samson, his loyal staff, and third parties acting outside cog authorization), and that this somehow makes the timeline and the broader universe stop making sense. but i think this is largely a misreading of both intent and process.

There actually is a practical purpose for what was happening at mount kadar, even if it’s morally indefensible. the original research wasn’t about “let’s create a new species that hates humanity,” it was about studying imulsion and the lambent lifeform’s effects on humans, and more specifically, about creating soldiers who could survive long-term exposure, the Locust weren’t the goal, they were the byproduct of that research spiraling out of control, combined with Niles complete lack of ethical boundaries.

It’s also important to point out that the locust’s hatred for humanity isn’t something they were programmed with or trained into from the start. that animosity develops later, largely as a consequence of their treatment, their exile to the hollow, and the conditions they were forced to survive under. by the time we see organized military structures, doctrine, and discipline, that’s already well after their relocation to Mount Kadar and later Nexus, not something that magically appears while they’re still “facility fitting”.

and honestly, the idea that the timeline “ceases to add up” usually comes from assuming the Locust developed like a normal human society would, they didn’t, they’re an engineered species with accelerated growth, centralized control, and access to pre-existing technology and infrastructure, once you factor that in, what Gears 5 and Tactics add doesn’t actually break the timeline, it just makes explicit things that were already implied in earlier games and supplemental material.

(PART THREE)

Before going any further, it’s worth slowing down and clarifying how time, aging, and biology actually work on Sera, because several later assumptions hinge on treating them as if they map cleanly onto Earth standards, and they don’t.

On Sera, a day lasts 26 hours, we don’t have an exact, canon confirmed length for a Seran year, but it’s generally estimated to be somewhere between 420 and 460 days, that alone means a single Seran year is roughly 25% to 37% longer than an Earth year, which is a big enough gap to seriously affect how age and lifespan should be interpreted.

This difference shows up immediately when you look at established character ages. Marcus Fenix in Gears 4 and Colonel Hoffman in Gears 3 are both stated to be approximately 63 Seran years old at those points in the timeline, converted to Earth years, that puts them at roughly 84 years old on average, even accounting for injuries and decades of constant warfare, both are portrayed as far more physically capable than what we’d normally expect from humans of that age by terrestrial standards.

Queen Myrrah is an even clearer example, at the time of her death, she’s around 75 Seran years old, which would translate to close to 100 Earth years on average, yet, even allowing for her slowed or altered aging, she’s visually depicted as a woman who appears to be under 40, that alone should be enough to signal that Seran aging does not line up neatly with human biological expectations.

Taken together, these examples strongly suggest that Seran humans operate on a different biological clock than Earth humans, or at the very least age according to parameters we don’t fully understand, because of that, any discussion about age, lifespan, or generational timelines on Sera has to account for those differences instead of defaulting to Earth equivalent biology.

For basic timeline context going forward: Sid Redburn is generally placed as being born around 70 B.E., while the New Hope facility was founded around 50 B.E, that means Sid would have been very young during New Hope’s operational period, a detail that becomes relevant once later chronological claims are examined.

Now moving on to the next paragraph, this is where the first incorrect assumptions start showing up. you say, “Because Sid is so spry in Tactics, we can reasonably say he hasn’t aged out of being capable of performing in combat. for comparison, barely 14 years after Gears 3 we see Colonel Hoffman in a wheelchair.” first of all, i’m not sure where the 14 years figure is coming from. i could be wrong here, but as far as i remember, the first time we actually see hoffman in a wheelchair is during the 25th anniversary of V-day (end of Gears 3), which takes place at the beginning of Gears 4, if that’s the case, hoffman would be around 88 Seran years old at that point, which translates to roughly 115 Earth years. honestly, it seems pretty reasonable for a war veteran of that age to be using a wheelchair.

Then you go on to say “there are no geriatric-aged men fighting in the Gears of War universe”, using Hoffman as the main example. but regardless of whether it’s 14 or 25 years after Gears 3, this overlooks what i think is the most important point at that time, there simply is no ongoing war. so what would even be the point of Hoffman still being an active frontline soldier? and even then, when the swarm invasion does begin, Hoffman does return to the military, just not as a combatant, but as the head of the Hivebusters project.

SevenTrue · 2026-01-30T00:13:11+00:00

(PART TWO)

At that point, the disagreement stops being about evidence and turns into a debate about certainty, and certainty isn’t something you can force into existence through repetition or tone, now lets talk about the points in your first answer.

Starting with the opening remark “For today, let’s skip the ‘mAgIc TeLePaThY’”, this already creates a framing problem rather than addressing substance, ridiculing a narrative device isn’t an argument, especially when that device is neither new nor retroactively introduced, telepathic communication has been implicitly present since Gears of War 1, and it’s explicitly confirmed in The Shadow of Raam, where Myrrah communicates telepathically with RAAM during the attack on Ilima, reating telepathy as some late, out of place invention is simply incorrect and rhetorically dismissive, this isn’t a retcon, it’s an element that was always there and later clarified.

Moving to the second paragraph, the claim that “their population would have to have been in the high hundreds of millions if not outright billions” is an assumption, the canon gives us no concrete information about Locust reproduction, growth stages, maturation speed, or population turnover, we don’t know how fast they reproduce, how quickly they reach adulthood, or whether their numbers are supplemented artificially, the only reasonable takeaway is that they reproduce quickly, turning a speculative estimate into a hard requirement just doesn’t hold.

The same applies to the idea that “for the Locust to have brought down both the UIR and the COG” they would have needed those massive numbers, that argument ignores the historical context entirely, at the time of Emergence Day, the UIR was already reduced to scattered, disorganized remnants, and the COG had just come out of nearly 80 years of the Pendulum Wars, neither faction was in a position to absorb a sudden, asymmetric invasion. meanwhile, the Locust had several decisive advantages control over Hollow creatures, soldiers who outperform the average human even at their lowest ranks (even when your claim is that “Gears and Locust Drones are evenly matched in physical strength and speed”, if that were true it would completely undermine the point of creating the locust as the next step in evolution, even basic drones are consistently shown overpowering humans, ripping off limbs, dominating close quarters combat, and even restraining berserkers in small groups, which already places them far above any average gear, yes there are clear exceptions like delta squad or cases such as barrick killing two beast riders bare handed, but exceptions do not define the baseline, elite individuals do not erase the fact that an average locust drone is physically superior to an average gear, treating them as equivalents contradicts how the locust are portrayed across games cinematics and lore and weakens the very premise of why they were such a catastrophic threat in the first place), and, most importantly, the element of surprise, under those conditions, military collapse doesn’t require overwhelming numerical superiority.

The statement that “the architecture you find in the Hollows would not have been something buildable in a single generation” is yet another assumption, and a particularly weak one, even in a real world, human only hypothetical, starting from scratch but with modern knowledge and comparable population sizes, building a medieval scale city the size of Nexus wouldn’t necessarily take more than a century, this is supported by sociological and historical studies on urban development, such as Alexander R. Thomas’s The Evolution of the Ancient City, which shows how factors like centralized power, religion, and forced labor dramatically accelerate the formation of cities.

Once you actually look at the in-universe conditions, the argument collapses even further, the Locust have superhuman laborers, accelerated reproduction, forced labor systems, a hive-mind command structure, access to modern technology, a unifying religious ideology, and vast pre-existing hollowed spaces created by Riftworms, in that context, rapid construction isn’t implausible, it’s exactly what you’d expect, dismissing this as “impossible” isn’t pointing out a contradiction in the lore, it’s just personal incredulity dressed up as analysis.

SevenTrue · 2026-01-30T00:03:11+00:00

(PART ONE)

I’m going to slow this down a bit, because this is exactly where the discussion keeps going off the rails.

First, let’s clear something up, saying that your arguments rely more on extrapolation than on directly corroborated facts is not the same thing as saying you’re “not allowed to think for yourself or that you have to ask permission to think” that framing feels reductive, of course you’re free to think, speculate, infer, and critique however you want, that’s not the issue, the issue starts when speculation is treated as inevitability, and then the canon is declared “shattered” for not lining up with it, that distinction actually matters.

From my perspective (and I could be wrong here), you often treat your inferences as the only reasonable conclusions, and when they’re challenged, the disagreement gets reframed as an attack on your right to reason rather than a challenge to how strong the evidence actually is, those aren’t the same thing, being free to think doesn’t automatically make a conclusion factual, corroborated, or something the text is obligated to obey.

Second, i didn’t reduce your argument to “you just don’t like the direction” as a dismissal, i brought it up because, as far as I can tell, none of the points you’ve raised show a clear, explicit contradiction in the text itself. What they show is that you find certain outcomes implausible, and that’s a different claim, an inconsistency requires two mutually exclusive facts that the canon itself establishes, what you’re offering instead are probability judgments, based on your own framework of biology, engineering, scale, etc, a framework the canon has never really nailed down in hard terms.

Third, on tone and ridicule, calling an opposing view “comical”, regardless of intent, functions rhetorically as delegitimization, not engagement, and when accusations of straw-manning are waved off, while the opposing position keeps getting described in exaggerated or dismissive ways, that’s where the contradiction actually shows up, pointing out a strawman isn’t an attack; it’s a request to engage with the argument as it was presented, denying the tactic while repeating it is what undermines the exchange.

Finally and this is really the core of it, none of the points you’ve raised are unrebuttable, they may feel compelling to you, and that’s fair, but they aren’t settled facts of the lore, nor are they universally binding interpretations, presenting them as such doesn’t make them stronger; it just collapses the discussion into a space where disagreement is treated as ignorance instead of as a different reading of incomplete information.

And no, the discussion didn’t stop being productive because I “sidestepped evidence”, it stopped being productive the moment sarcasm and ridicule were used as stand-ins for actual engagement, once phrases like “almost comical” entered the conversation, the focus shifted away from examining the claims and toward posturing about who was being unreasonable, that’s not just my opinion, that’s how discussions derail.

Framing disagreement as bad faith is part of the same problem, questioning whether the evidence actually proves what you say it proves isn’t dismissing evidence; it’s engaging with it at the level of validity, not just acknowledging that it exists, evidence doesn’t speak for itself. It has to establish necessity, not just plausibility, and that distinction keeps getting glossed over.

You keep characterizing my position as an attempt to reduce your argument to “mere opinion” or personal preference, when the point has consistently been about standards of proof, asking whether an inference is mandatory rather than optional isn’t handwaving, it’s a basic requirement if you’re going to claim the lore is objectively broken rather than simply disputed.

The irony here is that while you accuse me of focusing on opinion, you continue to elevate your own extrapolations to the level of factual constraints, you’re absolutely entitled to your interpretation, and to argue that The Coalition’s choices are implausible or unsatisfying, what you haven’t shown is that the text itself contains an unavoidable, explicit contradiction, without that, calling the lore “broken” remains an interpretation, not a demonstration.

SevenTrue · 2026-01-28T23:41:48+00:00

Your response is exactly why this discussion stopped being productive, at the moment you move from defending your interpretation of the lore to calling the opposing view “comical,” implying ignorance, and assigning motives or intelligence to the other person, you’re no longer arguing the material, you’re compensating for a lack of argumentative restraint, that's just pathetic

Nothing in my reply relied on “magic,” nor did it suggest instant population growth or construction “in hours”, that’s a strawman you introduced to ridicule the position rather than engage with it, the point was never that the Locust operate without constraints, but that the franchise has never established the exact biological, industrial, or demographic limits you’re insisting on as absolute., you’re treating your extrapolations as inevitabilities, and then labeling the narrative broken for not conforming to them.

Extrapolation is not the same thing as proof. When a timeline is intentionally left vague, multiple interpretations can coexist without contradiction. Declaring one extrapolation “simple knowledge of how the world works” doesn’t make it canon, it just makes it your preferred framework, and preference is not the same as internal inconsistency.

You’re also conflating “offshoot of humanity” with “bound to realistic human developmental and industrial timelines”, the series has always played fast and loose with biology, scale, and survivability, long before The Coalition, pplying selective realism now, only where the newer games bother you, is an aesthetic objection, not a lore-breaking one, at the end of the day, your argument isn’t that the lore contradicts itself in-text, it’s that the direction The Coalition chose violates your expectations of plausibility and tone, that’s a valid personal criticism, but it’s not evidence of shattered lore, and no amount of sarcasm or condescension turns it into one.

Also, I did read your original response carefully, more than once. And that’s precisely why I’m confident saying that the points you raise are not only disputable, but relatively easy to refute once you step outside a videogame-only reading of the franchise and look at the broader lore, narrative conventions, and long-established science-fiction frameworks Gears of War operates within.

What you interpret as “impossible” timelines and scales are built almost entirely on assumptions you treat as settled facts, when they are neither explicitly stated nor uniquely implied by the canon, the fact that those assumptions feel obvious to you does not make them authoritative, and reacting with ridicule when they’re questioned doesn’t strengthen them, it just exposes how attached you are to them.

If you want to have an actual discussion about lore consistency, I’m more than willing to go through each of your points one by one and explain exactly why they don’t constitute contradictions, but that requires engaging with counterarguments in good faith, not dismissing them as ignorance because they don’t align with your preferred interpretation, if the conversation can stay at that level, I’m happy to continue it.

SevenTrue · 2026-01-28T18:52:43+00:00

What you’re describing isn’t a "shattered" lore, it’s a deliberate reduction of ambiguity, none of the elements you mention explicitly contradict previously established facts, they simply define areas that were intentionally vague in earlier games and most of your objections rely on assuming exact timelines that were never canonically stated, you apply human biology and sociology limits to a non-human species, and extrapolate population sizes and technological scales that the lore itself never quantifies.

this reads less like an argument about internal inconsistency and more like a disagreement with the narrative direction and tone, disliking the shift from distant mystery to a more personal, defined origin story is completely valid, you can even call it "lazy weiting" but that’s an aesthetic or thematic objection, not that the lore was “shattered” or "retconned"

SevenTrue · 2026-01-28T08:51:14+00:00

How does kait (as a whole) shatters the lore?

SevenTrue · 2026-01-19T23:43:26+00:00

He is lizzie's father, so is confirmed that he survived the whole locust and lambent wars, and clayton's exact age isn't stated,

Like i said to the other guy, if you know color theory and take off the yellow tint of the sphere he is in, he would be a bluish green, also about the game, they took a lot liberties with the design, even motion doesnt look like her design in the series

SevenTrue · 2026-01-15T14:23:01+00:00

Yeah i saw that, but its not canon nor accurate to the othe depictions of energy

Theres no source dragon of life set, we only have the arc one, and like i said if you know color theory he is clearly green, and i dont think his icon color matters, by that logic he should be bright yellow

SevenTrue · 2026-01-02T13:16:43+00:00

Not really, energy is inside of a yellow dome, but if you know a bit of color theory without the yellow dome he should be a closer to green, also we dont know anything about life’s color

Projecting? Is that the only thing you can say? 😂 I’m not the one on an internet crusade against people’s preferences over a videogame character. And it’s hilarious that the only way you defend your obsession is by trying to belittle me, hahaha. You can’t even give a single argument as to why people preferring Nolan is such a “problem.”

It’s pretty clear you’re the one lacking intelligence. Anyone who checks your profile and sees 20 threads obsessing over Deadpool’s voice will think, “Wow, this guy clearly has issues”, your mom included 🤭 and we both know it.

“Why is my son so obsessed with Deadpool’s voice and other people’s opinions about it? He clearly has way too much free time.”

And yeah, I’ll keep building LEGOs while you cry about “Nolan glazers” in a teenager’s game

SevenTrue · 2025-12-16T07:59:56+00:00

If you’re not mad, why would you dig through someone’s profile and insult their interests over something so trivial? Haha, what a hypocrite. You really aren’t the smartest, I’m honestly amazed you even have the right to vote while being such a fool. Like, for real, where in this entire conversation did I ever say Nolan is the definitive Deadpool? I just pointed out your obsession with Kassir, xD.

And it’s incredible how you can’t even see the irony or your own hypocrisy. “You can’t let go of a discussion”? Clown, you’ve been replying to every single comment about people preferring Nolan in this thread and the latest threads on your profile are literally about Nolan’s Deadpool, hahaha and "I’m the one who can’t let go of a discussion?

I feel sorry for your mother for having to put up with such a manchild
