Isabel Cooper @isabelcooper.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So, having Had Wine, I will old lady about this: in *my day*, we had tie-in works of fiction that contradicted actual written black-and-white canon in major ways, and we somehow managed to live happy fulfilling lives in spite of that. 6285
Isabel Cooper @isabelcooper.bsky.social · 24/09/2026To further note: "contradicted actual black-and-white canon" is not what's going on with the latest BG3 ridiculousness except maaybe in the most Comic Book Guy ways. It's "contradicted one possible interpretation of canon that Very Intense people have used as a security blanket." 181
Isabel Cooper @isabelcooper.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Jackson's Faramir is the Drinking From the Hose of my fandom experience, yes. 291
Jon Boyer @jonboyer.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Not even restricted to tie-in works. The original Star Trek and Doctor Who shows both manage to contradict themselves. Repeatedly. With wilfull abandon. 240
Melantrys @melantrys.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Also, it was much harder to go and hound the author of something you objected to. 020
Octo @octodontidae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I was looking forward so much to the Mission Impossible movie because I loved the series. And then they made Jim the traitor. What followed then may shock people. I didn't watch any of the following movies! (except the third because it was a date and Final Reckoning because I was asked nicely!) 030
Octo @octodontidae.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I thought it was an age thing, too? but at least one of them claims to be in their 30s. 110
