I apologize for that. Everybody has their own lore, true, but...hmm.
Not eager for everything to be about Zartan where Zarana is concerned. It's been done. Repeatedly. Not eager for my favorite twins (Zandar & Zarana) not to be twins. :( :( :( Not eager for Zarana & Zandar not to be close either. :( :( :( I've always loved the lore first and foremost. So much for the lore. There is literally no potential now for the things I love the most. 8( 8( 8( It's all gone... Torn shirt/torn scarf connection and potential.... gone. Twins..... gone? :( Potential for closeness.... gone. Similar features like in Sunbow and Marvel...gone.

You clearly love your OWN lore, because you get the other lore wrong, constantly. What potential? Rudat only ever said that they should match COLOURS... that's it. No it bloody isn't. Emily JUST confirmed it. Hasbro OWNS the licence, despite what people who "borrow" it do with the characters. I still don't know what you expect them to show, here. You're not exactly explaining yourself very well. Same with the "eerie" adjective you're constantly using, yet not explaining when asked. Skybound is NOT Sunbow or Marvel. Neither were DDP or IDW. Hell, DiC wasn't like Sunbow or Marvel, either, despite being a continuation of the Sunbow series. DIFFERENT CONTINUITIES! I can't stress that, enough.

Their twin language is also now gone. That was another indicator of their closeness, as was wearing a ripped pink shirt and a ripped pink scarf.

That happens all the time, in comics especially. Captain America, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wolverine... all have gone through significant changes and retcons over the years, as other writers have taken over the books. You'll never be able to keep everything you like about Zandar and Zarana. Other writers will ALWAYS have different ideas of what they want to do with the characters.

In his Classified version now Zartan has officially a scarf too. If one is to assume that Zarana gave Zandar his scarf, surely she must have done the same to her favorite brother and head of the family, Zartan? Thats why IMO you can't always have the perfect iteration of a character thats in your head. Someone will always have another idea or character arc for him in fictional stories. Lets be happy instead with these great comics coming from Skybound!

Ron Rudat's design notes said that. The scarf and shirt were to be the same color to "tie these characters together." A direct quote. It did not include Zartan, and should not.
Still, Hasbro gave him one now. Surely they have the last word on that.[/QUOTE] Hasbro gave him one because they weren't thinking about Zandar, having no use for the character at the time and having no intention of making one. Let's give Zandar a hood and black face markings! That's not infringing on Zartan at all! Lets make Zandar Zarana's favorite brother, because I am sick of Zartan being the default.

Also I notice something like DT would say pretty "eerie" I notices that Classified Zartan had his scarf the same color as the leather material that is on Zarana 's legs protectors and belt. Its as Hasbro wanted to tell us that she made that for him from the same material. I see the connection here too, like with Zandar. She also has a apecial bond with zartan. See for yourselves:
