Transcript by OP

[fscom]

I LOVE supplemental canon. Lore books, artbooks, world bibles, I eat that shit up like candy, and if I'm really into a particular canon, it's a given that I'm going to own all of the stuff like that that exists for it.

But nothing makes me angrier than when the creators drop some important character information in the supplemental canon rather than putting it in the canon itself. I shouldn't have to consume a separate piece of media to be able to have a full perspective on the characters or the world! Fun trivia is one thing, a fact that completely changes your understanding of a character is something very different.

If it matters, put it in the main canon! :(

[(Anonymous)]

No argument from me, OP. You're right and you should say it.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree! Important things should be in the mainline canon 100% of the time.

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely this. The extras should be just that, extra. Not Half The Plot or The Stuff That Makes It All Make Sense.

[dinogrrl]

1000% agree.
And heck, not even getting into supplemental material, stop spreading main canon across different media types. No I'm not watching a movie, then an entire tv series, then reading a comic book, just to understand what happens in Movie 2. >:/

Last project I heard of that tried that was the hot mess known as Southland Tales.

[(Anonymous)]

"You know more about Vecna if you went to the stage play or found a way to watch a recording/read the script" was a terrible thing I kept seeing when Stranger Things came to an end.

Such As?

[(Anonymous)]

I absolutely agree, but I'm so curious as to examples of media that really fucked around putting serious canon in supplemental material. Gimme the tea, people.

Re: Such As?

All the Zelda games have massive arguments about this. Early games were very technologically limited, so a lot of the story was in the instruction booklets but sometimes the information in the instruction booklets don't agree with the game. Then there's all the manga, which aren't considered canon, but some details make things in the games make more sense, and then there's the official art and lore books which sometimes contradict things entirely. And the entire timeline is in one of the official lore books, not in the games at all, but only some of it makes sense.

Re: Such As?

[(Anonymous)]

The Final Fantasy games are similar - there's a whole lot of character lore that only shows up in the Ultimania guides, and some of it is actually important to the characters in question.

[neoyi]

Oh, 100%. Love supplementary materials, but they should be optional stuff to add to the worldbuilding and lore. All the important stuff relevant to the main thing should be in the main thing!

[(Anonymous)]

I do agree, but it's not always the fault of creators. If the studio or network has final cut, sometime things that were intended to be canon get cut and if the only way the creators can get it out is in a supplemental material, I don't fault the creators for it. I have heard many stories of scenes with some pretty important character information being deleted at studio/network insistence.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. Even if the story is interesting, that's just inconsiderate.

[(Anonymous)]

Like how apparently Kylo Ren didn't slaughter all his classmates, the Knights of Ren did. I feel that was pretty pertinent information, but because I didn't read the comic book, I never knew until someone told me.

[(Anonymous)]

I hated the Knights of Ren because the films did nothing with them.

[(Anonymous)]

YEAH. I'm a big supplement enjoyer, but like... if it's not in the Main Thing, it's OPTIONAL. You are, in fact, the bad guy, if you tell another fan that they have to incorporate something that does not exist in a movie into their fanfic or their headcanons because the creator said something somewhere about someone's backstory.

[(Anonymous)]

At some point, I just accepted that I won't get about half of what's going on in Marvel movies. Characters who I thought died or their last location was unknown will just pop up and help or banter or be the twist villain. Couples have gotten together off screen or broken up off screen.
