I have to say, I'm greatly confused as to that the LOST entry is getting at. I've never heard of whatever the hell they're going on about when it comes to Stranger In A Strange Land, and Nikki and Paulo were NOT retconned away, just killed off.

They're alluded to again in season 6 too.

What exactly was so bad about Paranoia 5th Edition? Un-product ranting aside, it's like a big Noodle Incident.

So, what was retconned about Claire's blood in Heroes?

I zapped the entry about the Clone Saga. Not referencing a story again isn't Canon Discontinuity. Canon Discontinuity requires either an official statement a story never happened or a deliberate contradiction without the benefit of a Retcon.

In fact, the revelation that Norman Osborn survived his death in Amazing Spider-Man #121 (or was that #122) was part of the Clone Saga. Osborn is still around today, and if the Clone Saga was Canon Discontinuity, he wouldn't be.

I notice Trouble has been zapped because "It was never intended to be in continuity". Actually, Marvel were vague on that point, probably because it was published during a period when "continuity" was practically a dirty word in in the Bullpen.

The Other Wiki says "Complaints from fans were so strong that Marvel later declared that the story was not part of the "official" Marvel continuity", and links to an interview where Bill Jemas says "I hope that Marvel readers will be proud to call Trouble the origin of Spider-Man" (with, admittedly, the get-out-clause that if they aren't, it won't be - Schrodinger's Discontinuity?)

Ummm... for the picture, shouldn't the Superman Returns poster be "X"-ed out as well? I mean, a lot of fans hate that movie too, what with Superman becoming the world's worst deadbeat dad and all.

The picture is illustrating canon discontinuity. Superman Returns is sort of a sequel to Superman II, ignoring the intervening movies.

Somebody work the pun Canon DIS Continuity into the Zelda C Di games.

I think this trope means that Word Of God is stating that certain points either never happened in-universe or aren't really that important to the plot.

It's worth noting at this point that it's well known that RTD dislikes the movie - it's brought up and mocked in his series Queer As Folk

Hmm. I've often thought that TV shows should have a little disclaimer: "The opinions of characters are not necessarily those of the writer". In his column in Doctor Who Magazine #344, Rusty refers to McGann's "glorious, heartfelt Doctor", describes the TV Movie as "a fine version of this brilliant show", and dismisses the furor that even caused Philip Segal to doubt whether the Eighth Doctor "counted" as the work of "lonely loudmouths" and "frothing pedants", before concluding "Of course he's the Eighth! Of course he bloody is!"

What the hell is "The events of 2 Fast 2 Furious and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift seem have been completely forgotten in The Fast And The Furious series. Especially notable in the fact that none of the characters introduced in the second film (and one in the third film) appeared in the more-known Fast and Furious and Fast Five." talking about? Yeah, none of 2 Fast 2 Furious is included in Fast Five. Except, you know, for the multiple characters from 2 Fast 2 Furious that appear in Fast Five. And the references to the events from 2 Fast 2 Furious in Fast Five. And Tokyo Drift has not been "forgotten," it takes place in the future. And even within that context, there's a reference to it at the end of Fast Five, from the character that is (wait for it) in both Tokyo Drift and Fast Five (and Fast and Furious). Literally nothing from the Fast/Furious franchise has even been softly retconned, let a-fucking-lone made "canon discontinuity." Seriously. What?

Something bothers me about the Sonic entry. Could somebody actually site this to prevent Flame Wars? It's a very heavy topic to just declare that a TON of Sonic games are out of continuity...

I agree. I don't know where that came from, either. All I can say it this: Cite where you found it or don't mention it at all!

Edit: Other articles relating to the franchise have this problem as well. It's getting to where I'll just remove them unless they can cite where they came from!

Yeah. And clearly Sonic 2006 MUST be canon, since it was mentioned in Sonic Generations. Or, at the very least, the game did happen, just was time-warped out of continuity, if you will.(as in the events didn't take place besides Sonic and Friends visiting)

Anybody find it odd that Silver is in Generations, but Omega is not, though? Er-hem, this does bug me quite a lot. I can believe everything below it, but we both know that if Sonic 2006 isn't canon, then clearly Generations is not.(which, yeah, I doubt that)

Whoever put it up the Canon Discontinuity the first place is either an official at Sega, or confused this somewhat with Fanon Discontinuity

It seems to be gone, now. Who's the troper who put it up? Probably the same guy who put up the rumors of those graphic novels that were allegedly to be sequels and prequels to the Super Mario Bros. film.

Non Serial Movies are by definition not in canon's continuity. Does that mean the case of the original work ignoring any change to the canonical universe by a Non Serial Movie not a case of Canon Discontinuity?
