#retcon
I keep hearing this, but we elected Biden in no small part because of the botched COVID response and then he prematurely ended the emergency and we got... this.

Seems like a retcon.

Maybe I'll do the opposite then, and make the character in game three kids in a trenchcoat but retcon him to be a normal guy even though he's clearly not.

Can't wait for them to somehow retcon a character death yet again though

She feeds them to Tala (btw, I gave her outworld hounds but I decided to retcon that and gave her a taigore instead because it suits her).

Am I the only person from outside the USA that sees this whole aspect of US culture as a giant retcon? Even growing up outside the states I feel I had every aspect of US culture pumped into my life through every channel... but this was curiously omitted until recently

please just let futurama end. stop trying to do "what if 2020 thing but with futurama characters" plots. stop trying to constantly retcon old shit. please just let futurama rest in its grave. it had a good run, we don't need everything to last forever.

yeah, especially finding out shes supposed to be the eyes. retconning the idea that it's the eyes of sinners killed in the exterminations is something im not a fan of, but it's even worse to retcon this and not even let us find out by watching the show 😭 we have to find out via article/tweet😭

They're already calling it a retcon and bad writing already. Thing is: I knew this would happen, as soon as their delusions were broken, the pandering/retcon/bad writing accusations would start popping up.

That exchange *begs* for a writer's retcon.
September 29, 2026 at 12:30 AM
Please learn what retcon means, because no it is not.

They did deserve a retcon though. Focusing on them as disgraced prophets was so much better!

It’s a shame we didn’t get the full rewrite
September 28, 2026 at 10:54 PM
I feel like it was the furthest I could take them without a full-on retcon, which I'd never get approved for.

This is like the era on Twitter where JK Rowling would just randomly retcon plot points for likes

Avengers: Endgame and Doomsday directors Joe and Anthony Russo wanted to show Steve Rogers' journey to replace the Infinity Stones "for a long time." https://bit.ly/47sG9l2

idk if it makes me feel better or worse knowing she didn’t purposefully retcon the logistics of them luring victims to the palace

HUGE George Lucas spending decades talking utter nonsense about his compulsive retcon tinkering energy there.
September 28, 2026 at 10:07 PM
I'd like to formally apologize to George Lucas for the DECADES of shit I've given him over his retcon tinkering that just serves to make everything worse.

THIS takes the bullshit cake with a nonsense cherry on top.
The Russo Brothers say that the visual of Doctor Doom being created at the end of ‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME ENCORE’ was “planned all along.”

“There is certainly a symmetry [between Iron Man and Doom] at play here. There is an interesting examination of good and evil at play.”

I am *confident* that people retcon our collective choice of electing Obama/Biden into "the government actively working to turn things around" because we did choose them because they were going to turn things around.

But my very clear memory of 2008 was we all knew was the Bush admin was worthless
One big difference?

In both 2008 and 2020 people had the sense that the government was actively working hard to turn things around. And it was.

Today? Our government is actively working hard to drive the economy into the toilet with the active complicity of the majority party.
September 28, 2026 at 10:04 PM
Nope. I forgave it for the sake of the retcon, but this is a bridge too far. 😂 Like, please don't insist to me that you plan everything when this happened!
September 28, 2026 at 8:57 PM
the npc who says that also like. was an aan conscript vs nero fully thinking they're sleeping together so it's not even a good retcon because gaius is very obviously not trying to push her away in the text
September 28, 2026 at 8:20 PM
oh no it's not, jp is way clearer that their relationship is sexual lmao. werlyt was just trying to retcon it to make gaius look better at livia's expense

speaking of hats the explanation for monday's hat being dome-shaped in my old drawings is that i had no idea what a fez was, and my only point of reference for a "round hat" at that age was a yarmulke. that i have to retcon but it's a funny detail
September 28, 2026 at 7:44 PM
THANKS

Also, they should have let him be Parallax. He was great at it, if he had to die a supervillain let him be a Top supervillain, not the lame retcon of Possesed by Fear and stuff. But yeah, the day DC and Marvel can write Consequences will be the day I go back to read storylines =)
