Obviously that was retconned in Revelation. But that was always the intent of the ending. Of course it doesn't necessarily mean Dark Alessa split off from original Alessa,

[Show spoiler]whatever entity it was could just be giving up the form and emotions/memories it had latched onto

. But the fact that they

[Show spoiler]merge at the end of the first film

is very explicitly the intent of what's happening. Gans even says on the commentary,

[Show spoiler]"One moment that was important to get right was when Alessa confronts Sharon, when the dark Alessa, her evil side, meets her good side, Sharon, and the two fuse together again."

I always felt that was the case but always wondered if it could have been the entity taking control (or trying to). Gans made a great film but I can't take what he says as 'gospel' as his film as you have mentioned contradicts what he has said in other areas (the plans possible changed or he misspoke I guess).

I kind of view the second film as a fan film, not a true sequel. What you mention here would have to be the largest retcon and one that largely can'tg be ignored/forgiven. Ignoring the end of the film you are making a sequel to is lazy/incompetence.
