That doesn't make the events that occurred in the intervening time necessarily cannon. It simply means that the Scarlet Witch's second remake of reality back to the way it was with some modifications is cannon.
Opinions, this argument could go either way, for example, Wanda altered reality to her shaping, no one remembers earth 616 before wanda altered it, therefore it WAS REAL to everyone in the 616, she did not alter BP nor sabretooths powers, he was still a heartless killing machine, and BP was still the wakandian king, the things that happened during the HOM were cannon.
What if Scarlet which decided in the very next issue to alter reality again, and give the mutants there powers back in this said reality, would everything that happened thus far be considered non-cannon?
So capt is KMC's voice of reason these days. If he tells you jumping off a brigde is healthy, would you drink a gatorade, do some streches, then leap off in hopes of losing a couple pounds?
In the HoM Sabretooth was killed. He is currently alive and part of Rogue's X-Men team, and iirc afaik has an adamantium skeleton. Him dying is subsequently not cannon.
Because wanda decided to return everything as it was after magneto lost it, had that not happened, we would still be in the HOM right now.
That fight between the two is a fair representation of there skill, no Sabretooth didn't have his adamantium skeleton, but he was still sabretooth, he didn't land a hit, and was killed in 2 pages.
You didn't answer my question, if wanda altered so the mutants got there powers back, would everything that has happened thus far be considered non-cannon.
Right... and I'm simply reitterating a speech he made a dozen times on whether that appearance of Sabes is cannon.
Anyways, like I said, HOM is cannon, the flashbacks are not.
I think it's because the flashbacks were created by Wanda... while the actual action in HOM was the characters own actions. Because of that, it could have happened very differently. It's basically the difference between actors and sock puppets.
I didn't see your question. The universe Wanda made is designated Earth-58163. Everything that has occurred since Wanda said "No more mutants." has been in Earth-616.
