I respect MGS3 a lot and I dont think it ruined the series or anything but I think its obsession with the way that the Bosss will ties into the broader narrative scope of metal gear and the focus on that is kind of one of the weakest parts of the series Yea but SNAAAAAAAAAKE EEEEEEEATER!!!! --- Marvel presents Marvel Marvel's The Marvels ...

Warcraft is a weird example. The lore was an absolute mess for years because they repeatedly retconned things. It was all fixed when they released Chronicles which retconned all the retcons and firmly established which ones were real, solid history.
Now, of course, they've retconned that too. --- https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT https://imgur.com/Er6TT So? I deeded to some gay porn. It doesn't mean anything. - Patty_Fleur ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Manual for Warcraft 1 puts Garona at an age impossible to exist based on when first contact with orcs was established. They fixed it by retconning her into half draenei but that was stupid since she's very obviously not half draenei. They retconned it again in the movie to say medivh went to outland and sired her there so she's back to being half human. I'd say that specific retcon is a little bit better but there were other things in the movie that I didn't like the implications for the story in general. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv ...

Garona is still half-draenei. In fact, Medivh being her dad is actually kind of hilarious.

Rocky III was the only retcon I remember liking.
In the first movie, Apollo Creed was depicted as a bigot. He was a Black boxing champion who delighted in the prospect of making an example of a White boxer and specifically asked that his replacement opponent be White. In the third movie, he was recharacterized. We saw the impoverished background he came from, we saw that he didn't dislike White people, and while it didn't change the fact that he specifically asked for a White opponent, it retroactively changes the motivation to him wanting to show a bigoted society that he was the best and that, if anybody didn't like it, he could beat their best. And it's all shown rather than stated. ... Copied to Clipboard!

That wasn't over bigotry as far as I remember. Or rather creed being a bigot. Rather using racism to sell tickets Creed was a showman. Since it was a replacement fighter on a short notice and there was no way they were getting a good replacement match, he figured the best way to boost numbers was to get an underdog boxer to serve as a "great white hope" against the black champion. --- New England Patriots: Super Bowl XXXVI, XXXVIII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LIII Champions ...
