Thank you for the compliment Sol Pacificus, I appreciate it.
In terms of continuity, I think Altaïr's Chronicles is "safer" in the sense that it's not in a time period that's likely to be revisited (and retconned) later on.
As you said, reconciling Discovery and the movie, while not perfect, is doable. If the events were completely irreconcilable I'd be annoyed but ultimately would have no choice but to accept it. But the fact that it IS reconcilable is why this is bugging me so much.
I'm pretty passionate about this stuf and ideally I would not want any lore to be lost, especially if it's unnecessary.
On a more positive note, the rest of the AMA was fun to read and informative, confirming some things we already suspected (Arno being Cal's ancestor), debunking theories (For example: Ojeda is not a Sage) and even explaining other things such as what exactly Cal's "initiation" was.
