@Pikachu; You're right. I could say the very same thing about the main characters if EG had been their debut, and I almost certainly would. By trying to salvage the lagan of their supposedly "one-shot" film though, the writers would try to weave the significance of a film with no relation to the main storyline into the story of the main series.

It would be comparable to bringing a character straight out of G3 (okay, it's a bit of an exaggeration in degree, but they are alike conceptually). That character's story has nothing to do with the main character's storyline, and it should be kept as far away from the main storyline as possible. A cameo appearance is okay, but when they start weaving the two together, it becomes a mess.

And before you say it... no, there cannot simply be a fresh start for Flash Sentry. A writer cannot just rewrite a familiar character while disregarding all prior events. Flash Sentry is known for what happened in EG. Flash is and always will be an EG character. So if the writer disregards Flash's first and most important appearance, than why would the writer even use Flash? Make a new character instead, for crying out loud!

And as for what you said about guard duties and what Flash can teach the viewer... we've had Shining Armor to do that for quite a while now.
