"Sounds like original research" is NOT calling you a liar. I AM Assuming Good Faith.

I'd not place TOO MUCH stock in another wiki as, like here with Villains, they are crowd-sourced. Not saying ignore them altogether, just be cautious as to their authority. Take note that even Wikipedia does not allow using its own articles as sources.

As for the Narratives in both the franchise's premiere and the WoR episodes, take note of the language. "Seems", "hypothesis" and the like. Known as Hyperbole. Which should raise red flags, calling into question exactly how authoritative the information truly is.

Which means that What we SEE may not always correspond with What we're TOLD. Like how a Western may talk about "All Indians Are Savages" early on but later detail living among at least one tribe of them as peaceful and idyllic belies the authority and inclusiveness of "ALL are savages" (and even the "savage" tribes can be peaceful within themselves).

Even characters presented as "the authority" on a given topic may later in the story learn something which calls into question and challenges everything he knows. Like how in How to Train Your Dragon, Hiccup—the opening narrator—realized "Everything we know about you… is a lie."

So be careful about picking and choosing information from varied and spread out sources. Especially if narrated by an In-Universe character because In-Universe characters may not know (or reveal all) at any given moment they speak.
