“If there are details missing from it that could've been included and are important to understanding the work but weren't well, sorry, you missed the boat I'm not reading your Reddit posts or keeping track of which magazines you've done interviews with. I’m just not.”

This. That’s bad storytelling if the creator has to make supplementary material after the fact just to make the work understandable or coherent. Supplementary material is fine in and of itself, and can be a nice bonus. But if a work hinges on it because the creator couldn’t make the actual story work on it’s own, that’s really not good.

To quote SfDebris, "you don't get credit for stuff you didn't put in the movie, because, and try to follow me here, you didn't put it in the movie!". I one hundred percent agree on that. If it isn't in the canon, it isn't canon.

If an author or a movie maker wants to add additional stuff into their canon, looking at you Terfling, then they better write another story or make another movie so as to put it in there. It doesn't need to be a big production, a short story or an animated short will do, just it has to have at least a bit of narrative to support it. The late, great, Sir Pterry handled this brilliantly with his "Discworld Compendium", because the recap bits of the characters were just that, but when he added on to the canon the add-ons all had a little fragment of story, a tiny drabble, to add them into narrative canon.
