#Retcon
were these movies always set in Arkansas or was that a retcon?

this is ALSO why my top advice for younger people is:

Remember everything that happened during COVID lockdowns, during the Gaza War, etc. because we are twenty years out from tons of people trying to retcon these things to fit their agenda. Do not let them do that.

3/ Gay was pushed out for other reasons. But she was no friend to Black students, Palestinian students or the cause of free speech. She was an overseer, through and through—so, trying to stop this retcon before it takes off. Gay acted with ZERO concern for Black students, faculty or liberation.

Nintendo has decided that Lubba, a big jolly star creature in Super Mario Galaxy 2, is female, but you might be surprised to know that it isn't necessarily a retcon.

Wait, Super Mario Galaxy’s Lubba Is Female? — Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games
And if she is, this “change” may not actually be Nintendo retconning itself.

But in fairness this is a full on retcon!

I do not recognize the “not mutants or their dad” retcon. In this house, we have standards.
>Mutants

>> Magneto's daughter and Pietro.

This a really good explanation from @ericcolumbus.bsky.social on DOJ's retcon of an existing indictment into a terrorism one.

What’s Up With the Terror Indictment Against Alleged Antifa Members?
The Justice Department’s tacked-on charges are just for show. The larger plan is not.

Social psych researchers find, for instance, that most people who change religious denominations initially don't actually know much about the distinctive tenets of their new denomination; they join for the community. If you ask them later on, once they've learned, they will retcon their reasoning...

Stupid people not understanding RETROACTIVE part of then word retcon grinds my gears

Brady and Eric didn’t even speak and everyone knows they’re super popular as brothers. But let’s make sure all the retcon DiMeras have a story together.

I just watched the start of Metroid Dread this morning, and they did something I respect: leaned into it. They acknowledge what bounty hunting actually is (her ship's AI suggests the bounty she is accepting is not worth the risk) instead of trying to retcon her into being a superhero

taking a break from your ocs is so dangerous bc you are filled with an insane need to suddenly retcon their species to something more fitting, redesigns be damned

Yeah I was a huge fan until his Christopher Columbus retcon book, which basically argued Columbus was necessary to prevent the Aztec invasion of Europe

On the topic of pedophiles, what should DC do with Deathstroke? Do you retcon his history so that he can be used as an antihero in the future? Keep it and have one of the nastiest and scariest villains in comics? Introduce a new character with the same name?

And when he wins the SEC in 2027 everyone’s going to retcon their reactions, pretending they knew along all he’d be good (I think he would be).

Would be interesting to retcon that chart for a future MLS season. Wonder how it would compare to Bundesliga.
November 14, 2025 at 6:06 PM
Oh I think absolutely the fuck not on this retcon she’s doing

Remember when you barred Ruwa Romman from speaking, Kamala and the DNC? Remember you silencing protestors at your events???

That's how you know Dumbledore being gay is a retcon.

If it was originally intended, he would've been named Faggio Flamebottom.

hate it in Skyward Sword when they retcon it using time travel so that the tree of life bears fruit
November 13, 2025 at 5:01 PM
And the fall of Twitter is being used by a lot of people to retcon and gaslight us about how much EVERYONE contributed to the racism and entitlement that gave us Trump
November 12, 2025 at 6:34 PM
normally i never retcon oc deaths, but its funny that both times its happened it’s been a pretty vieran lady
November 15, 2025 at 12:58 AM
i think they wanted to somewhat retcon the degree of the tempering so that they could portray her in EW as a morally grey yet still generally loving & kind goddess. but i'm ngl, i prefer the idea that The Will Of The Star pushed venat, as hydaelyn, to do things she'd never have done herself

Doesn’t matter if other dialogue hints that I did it if you make neither choice canon by having someone hint that I didn’t, still a retcon and something the writers hinted that they wanted to avoid. 💀

What annoyed me is the Palpatine retcon.

An entire galaxy in three different generations to build on, and instead all nine movies are about Sheev screwing himself over in a Rube Goldberg scheme with a hideous amount of collateral damage.

retcon to ruin it again?
