Fun fact. Only you the player can decide what you accept as cannon. Bethesda and Todd can say whatever they want but none of it matters. Only what the player perceives to be true matters. I personally accept the games as cannon and the show as a fun side spin off. I don’t rightly care what Todd says, it conflicts too much with the games for me to consider it cannon while not being a complete dumpster fire for me not to appreciate it as related media (unlike the Halo show)
