Talk:Myloki

Split?
Should this page be split as the Mysterons link here, I know that the Myloki are an expy of the Mysterons but the Mysterons played a core part in the later TV21 strips and if Captain Scarlet has a separate page to their indestructible man version should not the Mysterons then get one?

 * I see no reason not to. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  21:20, 24 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Anastasia, you're right that between this page and Captain Scarlet's, our treatment of The Indestructible Man is inconsistent right now. The Myloki are explicitly a code name for the real species name in the novel, and if they weren't named, they would definitely qualify for the "Mysteron" page name with the, per the Talk:Legacies (short story) precedent often cited by Najawin among others. Because of this, I think the fix to the inconsistency should be to merge Paul Metcalf and Grant Matthews, as I illustrated at User:NateBumber/Sandbox/Captain Scarlet, not to split this page. – n8 (☎) 02:43, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

i apologise for my delay I do would take either as long as all the information for both pages was used as well as fleshing out the Mysteron segment of the hypothetical merge. The would also lead to several other mergers however such ad combining Conrad Turner and Captain Death as well as the various other Spectrum members as the SILOET stand ins. I do have one point against this though the fact that Several Characters are reminiscent of the characters from UFO and the moonbase Uniform from UFO is explicitly used, UFO a happens in the 1980’s not the 2060’s of the Supermarination of Captain Scarlet. Other minor contradictions include the events of Space 1999 being mentioned happening around the same time as the title suggest this show happens in 1999. However I would be 100% in favour of the merger is Ceol is merged with Kelsey Hooper as it seems to me the case is similar. Due to the Fact that not only are they implied to be the same (even more so than the Gerry Anderson Characters in the Indestructible man) I would argue that both the Indestructible Man Characters and Ceol deserve to be merged with their respective originals and to merge only the Gerry Anderson Charters would suggest, in My personal opinion a level of bias towards one group. I would stand by either decision to split this page or two merge all the IM/GA Characters along with pages like Ceol/ Kelsey. Once more I apologise for the lateness of my reply. It was due to several events as well as simply forgetting I posted here for a while. Sorry I will try not to do so again.Anastasia Cousins ☎  20:57, 16 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I just want to step in and clarify that Ceol/Kelsey is not going to happen as of current policy — it is baked into T:VS and T:MERGE that we do not acknowledge unlicensed use of DWU characters. The proposal to accept the Indestructible Man characters and species as their Anderson counterparts relies on the fact that, despite the plentiful crossovers both overt and not, the Gerry Anderson shows remain their own franchise, so that it's not really our concern whether a given Anderson element is licensed or not — much as we don't twist ourselves in knots about whether John Steed's appearances in Party Animals and The Sleuth Slayers were licensed.

Then I guess the Indestructible man and Gerry Anderson characters should not be merged for the same reason Ceol and Kelsey should not merged and thus a new page for the Mysterons should be created. Whilst you say that we should not worry about weather it was licensed or not bring ups Steed, in this case it matters and in Indestructible man The Characters all go by different names and thus should be considered different characters, and so a new page for the Mysterons should be created. One part was licensed (the TVC21) whilst one was unlicensed stand in’s (Indestructible Man) and so I would argue that we should split this page and create one for the Mysterons. If Kelsey dose not qualify for “Homeworld treatment” then the Myloki/Mysterons should not qualify either. Personally for these licensing quakes we really need sorghum these out when we get forums back.Anastasia Cousins ☎  12:45, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Either I'm not understanding you, you're not understanding me, or both. The Gerry Anderson characters are a completely different situation from inherently-DWU characters like Kelsey, and this is true even if there were also licensed crossover appearances. See also Spock's unlicensed cameo in Between the Wars, the treatment of which is not affected by the existence, or not, of a licensed Who/Star Trek crossover decades apart.

I think their may have been a misunderstanding on one party (not sure which, probably my fault either way) but my point in a meandering round about way was that because they are under different names (not like previous crossovers) to the main source (TVC21) they should be kept separate bar the behind them scenes section and thus a Mysteron page should be created. On a side note however the Thunderbirds technical debut in their crossover story predating their appearance on screen by a few weeks, not sure if the same applies the Captain Scarlet)Anastasia Cousins ☎  19:20, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * See Life-spore and Xenomorph for pseudo precedence? It's a bit closer than the Spock example, though it's been a contentious subject, and I think that I might even have changed my mind. (Provided that the main page name is the DWU page name, rather than the OOU concept it's associated with.) Najawin ☎  19:26, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
