Canon is the Biblical Fundamentalism of fandom. That analogy was baked into the term back in the Sherlock Holmes days when the point was that Doyle was notoriously inconsistent on details from story to story and trying to reconcile the differences was rather like trying to reconcile the Bible.

That's short-selling Biblical Fundamentalists who actually do have a theory of theory of text that's a bit less ridiculous than "canon" holds in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand. Canon is just a term to describe what has been said definitely in text to separate it from whatever headcanon of the week there is.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Texts are not "definite."

Great texts never are.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, you can interpret themes and such. But if a book says, "Joe loves dogs and hates cats", that is definite.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Provided that you actually have a single text in question about Joe. That isn't the case for any multimedia franchise since, oh, the 1930s, and for a lot of stories before then. Does Gertrude die at the end? Well, it depends on whether you're reading Shakespeare, any of the ur-Hamlets, the Dumas/Thomas opera, or some of the adaptations that have been written since then.

It certainly doesn't exist for anything surrounding a character like Captain America, who's been interpreted and reinterpreted on a bi-yearly basis since the 70s.

[(Anonymous)]

But you can just focus on a certain canon. Like, if OP is only talking about MCU Steve Rogers. In which case, comics don't really have to come into play.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Well, no you can't, because there is no canon to focus on, only different works with different writers and different directors giving us subtly different interpretations. (And that's not getting into the issue of audience interpretation.)

[(Anonymous)]

I actually completely agree.
