If this scene is "cut", altars scenes, changes sequences of events, guess what: It isn't canon.

The one with all the talking, full sequence of events, and all that jazz is the canon one.

You're admitting it is different, yet claiming it is still valid. Why should I take the abridged version as fact, when there's canon one? Cause there's a feat that's good?

The whole purpose of that Intro was to surmise what was happening in the game. Of course stuff is gonna get cut because it is the intro.

It is not abridged. You can take that fact that the intro represents the condensed version of the fight.

The literal definition of "abridge" is "to shorten in duration or extent". Can you explain why the sequence that is a shortened version of another sequence isn't an abridged version of events? Because those two things are actually synonymous.

Yeah my bad. Didn't look into the wording that clear.
