When have you invoked Fanon Discontinuity?

In a bit of Fanon re continuity I consider Castlevania Legends Canon despite it being removed from the official timeline. It makes too much sense in too many ways for it to be just tossed aside because one director didn't like it.

Bleye knows Sabers.

I kind of ignored the season 3 Community episodes until "Pillows and Blankets". I just didn't like them and they seemed a bit too weird for the show.

So true.

We must amend this the only way we know how... fanfiction! (scare chord, dramatic thunder and lightning)

For about 95% of the time, I'm like this. Usually, my tolerance levels for even nonsensical plot developments/endings/what have you are high. Don't know why, but they are. The same applies to shipping.

@atc: What specifically?

"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."

I'm about half-and-half. A lot of the time when someone says a plot development is stupid/insulting/nonsensical, I think, "Yeah, but...it happened." I can immerse myself in a story and just go along for the ride a lot easier than some people can.

On the other hand, I'm not afraid to pretend or wish something didn't happen. Then again, I'm more likely to imagine an AU that turned out the way I would have liked than simply deleting the event from my "personal canon."

Fear is a superpower.

kotor 2 is one of my favorite rpgs

how could anyone possibly dislike it

Yeah, I know where you're coming from. I've had more than a few AU ideas myself.

"Oh no, Sanji's Chronic Simprosis!" - Kou The Mad

It's especially easy when the work in question has established that alternate realities are a thing. Like Stargate, Star Trek, and Farscape, for example.

Fear is a superpower.

There are just some things in a series which seem like a tumor, bringing the quality of everything else down with its existence. This could be because of a totally different writing style (Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier), new character models (physical or written) which plain destroy pre-existing character details (Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier) or just plain old redundancy, attempting to hitch a ride on the back of an already finished series (Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier).

There are perfectly good reasons to just ignore something in a series, even if it just makes people seem all butthurt. If it contains one of the above elements, it's fine to cut it out as far as I'm concerned.

(Why yes, I do have an extreme bias against Jak And Daxter The Lost Frontier, why do you ask?)

There was no ending to Mass Effect 3. Shepard got shot by Harbinger and then died. Either that or she was indoctrinated.

"Steel wins battles. Gold wins wars."

Weird Al Yankovic never did a song called "Weasel Stomping Day". That was one of those bad comedy tracks that someone mislabeled on Kazaa or Limewire or something.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Claymore ended with Priscilla being killed.

Troper Page

I have, but I don't remember what it was.

All of World of Warcraft, as a continuation of Warcraft III.

Wait, there were games with the name Warcraft before World Of Warcraft?

This isn't even in relation to the thread, I genuinely did not know that.

Well, they had to get the "World" part from somewhere.

0dd1, I'm trying to phrase my reaction without being condescending to you, since I know I should've seen this sort of thing coming before but wasn't really expecting it, and it's not your fault at all, and I wanted you to know that.

That said, >headdesk<

Warcraft was a very successful, very lore-heavy, RTS series. I got my start with 2.

I really suggest you try Warcraft 3. It was the first 3d warcraft game and differentiated the different factions. Each faction has its own abilities which make it strong and unique, like Starcraft.

That said...

the Thor movie. Jane and Thor didn't fall in love, they instead fell in platonic heavy interest. Jane focused more on the fact that Thor is a god and could give her so many answers to questions she's never been able to answer, while Thor is interested in Jane because she's the woman who drove over him and helped him and she's a smart young mortal, and all mortals are interesting.

They didn't both drop about 50 IQ points each every time they talked to each other, no, that couldn't've happened.

Very big Daydream Believer. "That's not knowledge, that's a crapshoot!" -Al Murray "Welcome to QI" -Stephen Fry

Well, it's a bit hard for the movie to skirt around an actual couple from the co(shot)

...

(pulls bullet out of chest)

And hey, look on the bright side: she wasn't in The Aveng(shot again)

"Oh no, Sanji's Chronic Simprosis!" - Kou The Mad

While I find that a silly concept, I came kind of close with Atelier Meruru, when Rorona got lolified. While I didn't find that so bad in itself, I later read that it was non-reversible, something I... didn't find so good.

However, in the end, it just lead to "Game Discontinuity". I haven't touched the game since then.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

^^^ Thor does not need a fifty point drop to sound stupid, believe you me. Childlike obliviousness and verbal awkwardness is one of the hallmarks of the character in almost every story; personally I find it endearing.

Not knowing what they're planning on doing with the character I can't comment yet, but... if they want Loki to stop being a sympathetic villain at some point they really need to work harder at it. Otherwise I might have to start saying the Asgardians are not culturally-insular dicks who don't know how to handle kids whose first instinct is to ask why something is doing what it's doing rather than smacking it.

I mean really. Loki was bugnuts, and he hurt people, and I'm glad he was stopped. But goddamn, Odin really dropped the ball not telling him what's what earlier and Thanos is a man you pay if you owe. I'm not seeing where he had much of a chance to be sane.

A True Lady's Quest - A Jojo is You!

@Enkufka: Ah, well, I've never been into RTS games, so that explains a lot, thank you. I've always been more of a platformer guy.

I thought it was just a snappy title they came up with.

Usagi Drop does not have a manga.

Bleye knows Sabers.

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers shouldn't have had that manga. The ending was pretty bollocks, as was the sequel manga. I did like how they upped the creepiness, and that's about it.

Also, Golden Sun 3. Eight years of waiting, and we got that piece of crap? I wasted my money...While we're at it, can we please forget that Lunar Dragon Song and Metroid Other M ever happened?

Since there doesn't seem to be another place to say this, I'm the opposite of this. I try to add all the continuities together in my fanons when possible (like with the different Sonic media and the Disney Animated Canon).

Currently in Oh, Crap! mode because a YKTTW I made was ready to trash got launched. Waiting for instructions on how to fix this, but still panicking a bit.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."
