I absolutely agree. We'd never reference LD in-article. But again, it's the authorial intent that the game pretty strongly sets up. That's what we need.

So people who are asking questions like "What if these Daleks were magically pulled from a TV?" or "What if these Daleks are from a universe where they're toys?" are blatantly ignoring LD for all the wrong reasons. Because OF COURSE those things aren't true, no one on the movie thought that was true, and several things in the franchise dispute that.

And again, since LD strongly sets up how people like The Doctor or Davros are going to be treated in the franchise, we can at least glance at them to gleam what the future has in store for DWU appearances in these films. We can't ignore the game, make up random questions, and then expect those random questions to be answered without bringing up the story that features the most DWU material.

LD is still a source for discussing what the creators of this franchise had in mind, and if every silly "what if" question can be disputed by the game, then there's not problem with shooting those down.
