Well this doesn’t make a lick of sense but whatever. It doesn’t matter why he’s dead, what the WishWorld made or didn’t make. It doesn’t matter if they asked MRJ and he said no or they didn’t ask him at all. They made sure to put in a Nealfire reference to save themselves a massive headache from angry fans demanding to know where he was and whether or not he was still Henry’s father (never mind that their answer is sloppy, inconsistent, incoherent, and all around dumb). I mean, sure. Yay that SwanFire was always destined to meet and have Henry. It’s a hollow victory; we got our Swanfire reference for the year and now…back to your regularly scheduled CS.
