in WCI Blair was a newbie pilot brand new on board and meeting everybody for the first time, and yet he apparently had previously served with them all (if we listen to the movie). Also Blair would have already met Tolwyn (from WCATV), and Bossman was dead in the movie as well as knight dying but still they are there.
Come on, does Blair saying "hi" for suposedly the first time in WC1 to his new fellow pilots messes up the whole universe? Those are valid points, but their meaning less. As for Bossman, yes he is already dead in the movie and that doesn't fit, but there's always something that won't quite fit, not matter at which WC product you look at. As for Knight, we're never actually told he's dies. He might have ejected at the last second.
Plus in WCI there were no Broadswords and the Rapiers were brand new fighters.
Come on, just because we don't see Broadswords in the game doesn't mean they didn't exist. For example, Hellcats, Arrows, Longbows, Sabres, and few other fighters were already present before WC1. As for the Rapiers, it's been said over and over that the movie Rapiers are different fighters, they just happen to have the same name.
The design of the Claw was totaly different in the movie than in the GAme.
Please, does that matter that much to you? Besides, don't you think that the WC1 Claw would look a little cartoonish in a new sci fi movie?
And Finally, Blair and Maniac are not supposed to be best-friends, look at how they act towards each other in WCIII, WCIV, and WCII.
Uh, no. Blair and Maniac were always friends, very competetive against each other, but friends.
Anyhow, in WC2 Maniac doesn't act in any way towards Blair, he isn't much of a friend, but isn't hostile either. In WC4 while not quite friendly you can see that they respect each other and aren't hostile. While Maniacs behavior in WC3 could be explained with frustration over Blair doing better in the Navy, as well as the terribly desperate times they were in.
