Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
This. People can hate Amit as much as they want, but his hand was official and it waved the events of a joke-turned-fan-edit into reality.
Bulk and Skull can easily be chalked up to them screwing up in France somehow and Stone being forced to beg for the police department to let them back in. Now there's a fan film I would love to see. |

Seriously, the turbo power's origin is really not something that annoys me. The only question left would be why they didn't go back to the zeo powers after the movie, but maybe the blue zeo crystal couldn't bond with Justin? As far as I'm concerned, whatever doesn't end up on TV and is never refered to ever again isn't canon. I don't care what Amit says... the Jason character becoming a cocky solitary biker who had run-ins with the law is not canon. |

Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
I think a more accurate way to say it would be "Events directly based on 'Scorpion Rain' happened", rather than "Scorpion Rain" itself. SR is still a fanfic/fanfilm with no official form released or approved by the rights holders, so it can't be a part of the canon on its own.
Think of it like those crime scene reconstructions they have on TruTV: You're not watching the actual crime, but that's what the actual crime looked like. Except the events of SR are explicitly (if vaguely) referenced in the show itself, which can't be said for the stupid "run-ins with the law" backstory. A battle in which Lord Zedd was defeated and Serpentera was left heavily damaged on the moon? That reference, combined with Amit's direct admission that he was referring to SR, is what makes it part of the continuity, because at that point Amit is just clarifying what the characters already said rather than saying something entirely new by himself. |

Re: The gap between Zeo and TAPRM - your headcanon?
I was specifically talking about Jason. Serpentera being left on the moon after a final fight with Lord Zedd is something that would make sense and would bridge the gap between Zeo and Turbo nicely.

By contrast, FR explicitly says that Lord Zedd was defeated and Serpentera was left in ruins on the moon, an event that occurred offscreen. Amit, when questioned about it, simply clarified that this was a reference to the events of the "Scorpion Rain" fan hoax. Considering that he was actually involved in the hoax back in the late 90s, we have no reason to believe he was being untruthful when he said that it inspired the backstory. So, his claim contradicts nothing from the show, it's supported by his own personal history, and it regards an episode that he himself wrote without infringing on anyone else's creative space. There's no logical reason not to take that at face value. |

Your example is a strawman argument because it involves directly and blatantly contradicting what has been established in prior canon. Even if said fan did include a line with such an implication, that implication is invalid because what it implies is incapable of being true. |

Word of God. It's canon until proven otherwise in-show.
