It's kinda surprising how the movie, despite not having that much stuff happen in it, managed to introduce all these weird inconsistencies. Some of them can be dismissed as script errors, such as how the movie implies that there is only one Apple and that the Templars had never had one in their possession before, but some are just weird. The depiction of the Granada War especially is confusing, as the movie seems to think that the war was still raging in 1492, rather than the mostly peaceful capitulation that it was. At least the novel author seemed to understand that the actual siege took place in 1491.
This was pretty much our main point of discussion when the movie first came out, as neither the movie nor Discovery gave specific dates as to when these events were supposed to be happening, forcing us to construct a timeline based mostly on character dialogue and logical deduction.
The novel author, however, was also seemingly not fully familiar with the Templar hierarchy, given that Alan Rikkin is stated to be a Grand Master, whereas he's actually a Guardian. We've currently managed to reconcile it mostly by assuming that it's possible to hold both positions simultaneously. It does make me wonder which Rite he's supposed to be a Grand Master of, though, given that the American Rite already had a Grand Master as of 2014.
Also, thank you for support, Master Sima Yi. I understand your reservations regarding this matter, but I think it's an important matter to settle now, rather than let it set a precedent for Ubisoft to potentially remove more spin-off releases in the future on the basis of "not important enough".
