Biosector01 seems to regard it as a simple fact that Keetongu’s left-handed melee weapon was destroyed in his fight against Sidorak and Roodaka. However, this is barely mentioned at all in any of the actual media displaying this scene. For starters, the Web of Shadows movie never shows him possessing this tool in the first place, a stylistic choice that they’ve made for numerous characters— the Hordika only possess their tools on one hand, and most of The Legend Reborn’s characters are missing a Thornax Launcher. None of these omissions are intended to be canon.
But what’s so frustrating about the tool thing isn’t the movie’s ignoring it, but rather all of the other sources disagreeing on it. The Web of Shadows book, the only source that actually mentions the tool being destroyed, has only this to say:
No further mention is made of the tool or its destruction, and the movie only has Roodaka hit Keetongu once before he falls.
Time Trap then proceeds to act as if the tool still exists.
The problem isn’t the inconsistencies in the novels— it’s a minor detail at most, and he probably could’ve made a new one in between the two novels or something. But it troubles me that BS01 seems to place a huge amount of importance on an offhand line from one book, even though it contradicts three specific lines in another book and the movie that the first book was based on.
Is there a clear way to resolve this? Is it worth asking Greg about?
Keetongu did have his weapon on the movie, when he was climbing that tower, in fact, he used it as some kind of climbing axe, then he was hit by a lighting and he fell and lost it
I’m confused, are you saying that the shields are the “pickax”? Because Time Trap makes it clear that they’re different things. Or are you saying that neither of them is the “pickax”, and he replaced the melee weapon with a new tool?
