Talk:Aguilar's Apple of Eden

Image

I don't think we should be using a gentheric image of an Apple of Eden for his article. For one thing, that's like using the image of Desmond's Toyota RAV-4 for Rebecca's Toyota RAV-4, in a hypothetical situation where they both have identical-looking Toyota RAV-4s. Their cars might be identical, and it might accurate show how Toyota's RAV-4 looks like, but it's not her RAV-4.

Perhaps a better reason though is that the Apple of Eden from the film looks rather different. It has more of a silver sheen (if not outright dark grey) and the etchings and symbols on it are different. Not all Apple of Edens actually look alike. Apple of Eden 1, retrieved by Arno, was actually smaller than the other Apples of Eden, for example.

I'm sure that when we have more images of it from the movie, we'd end up replacing the image with a proper one, but perhaps until then, we shouldn't have this image up either. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 08:24, January 3, 2017 (UTC)

Redirected from Apple of Eden 6

If we're going to decide to have Apple of Edens 6 & 7, non-canonical designations, and redirect the former here, why shouldn't Apple of Eden 6 redirect to Ezio's Apple of Eden instead and #7 here? Ezio's Apple of Eden appears before this one in the reference box after all. Sol Pacificus^(Cyfiero) 08:24, January 3, 2017 (UTC)

The reason Apple of Eden 6 redirects here is because the page was named as such by the original creator, following which the article was renamed to the less assuming "Aguilar's Apple of Eden". The redirect is simply a remnant of that and should probably be removed to avoid confusion. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 10:00, January 3, 2017 (UTC)

Image 2.0

Alright, I'm sure Sol's going to be happy about this. So the twitter account for Fox's Singapore division (I don't know how movie distributers work) posted this image earlier today, giving us a first official image of the Apple used in the movie. I already have it rendered out, but I figured I'd put it to the community anyways: should we use this image in place of the default Apple image that's currently on the article?

My gripe with the image is that the scratches and markings look so wayward, it ãlmost feels like it was thrown together. I will have to check whether the Apple in the movie actually looks like that. Additionally, the image does show this Apple as having a reddish-gold hue, whereas the one in the movie seemed to be silver in colour. Further complicating that matter is that the novelization at one point describes the Apple as red (my instinctive reaction was to shout at the book: "It's not a literal apple!"). So yes, opinions would be appreciated :) Crook ^{The Constantine District} 14:45, January 11, 2017 (UTC)
