New Proof that Homecoming May NOT be canon, and new theory.
Posted: 10 Jul 2012
I think we are missing something important that MAY put Homecoming in the Movie Canon: Silent Hill: Revelation 3D.
Literally everything that Homecoming put as "references" of past games can be also put in SH: R, so, it may be not canon after all.
Let’s start with the Otherworld, it is obviously the same "flying paper" - like thing in the SH movie, and possibly in SH:R, too, so that means it could be just tied to those three entries in the series.
Next thing, Lakeside Amusement Park: it appears in SH:R, too and may be just a reference to it, since Robbie also appears in SH:R.
Next thing: The Order. It is going to appear in SH: R, too, and their beliefs in the movie could explain those of Holloway in Homecoming, but, we'll have to wait and see.
Next thing: Douglas Cartland: he is going to appear in SH: R and the things that he said about the Order can be explained in the Movie...but maybe it doesn’t go like that...
Next thing, and the least plausible one, although still possible: The Peter Outerbridge rumors of SH: R: If those rumors are true, then Travis at the Beginning of Homecoming could also be explained. It could go like this: since Outerbridge looks too young to play the Travis we see in Homecoming, maybe he just appears in a flashback, like rescuing Sharon from SH or something in his truck, and then it could explain Outerbridge's young look in SH:R and his older look as Travis in SHH.
However, these two last things are only speculation, since we still don’t know how will their roles play out, but, seeing that they kept Heather's outfit (partially) and her "rude" attitude, and Claudia's beliefs, we can HOPE to see those two characters as they are.
So, we'll just have to wait and see SH: R to see if it can make Homecoming non-canon.
Also, the dumbest of the theories of me is, if James saw Lakeview Hotel as if it was "normal" again, just to see that it was still burned really bad, maybe Alex imagined SH as he thought it would be after hearing things about it, since he didn’t know it before as James did, and he also went to Silent Hill on his own (after the otherworld Shepherd House). Maybe this could explain why the other characters that go to SH see it as it really is, since they don’t know anything nor have heard about it.
So, James can see parts of it as he remembers it (Lakeview, for example), and Alex can see it as he thinks it would be after deciding to go, hearing things about it from her mother, and even going there after finding Joey Bartlett's "Tomb". Also, Heather could have seen SH as it really is because she was Alessa in her past life, and she knew the town very well before the incident with her mother. Alex’s possible imagination of SH as he thought it to be seems unlikely, but seeing some of the endings (not counting Bogeyman nor UFO, obviously), excluding Good one, too, we can think that he was also imagining the entire events all of the time, like in the In Water ending, or, best seen, in the Hospital ending.
That’s my (kind of dumb) theory to make it Canon, since we haven’t seen SH: R yet, we can consider this theory Thanks!
