Talk:Personal canon

I am so disappointed that no Transformer has an 'anti-personnel cannon' we can disambig this with. Missiles, mines, shredders-- but no anti-personnel cannons.

So sad. -Derik 07:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

This article is soo not-condescending enough, it totally breaks the theme all our other fandom articles have, and whats worse is that personal cannon is more deserving of ridicule

Except that there is nothing inherently wrong or bad about personal canon as a concept. Just because some people have ridiculous personal canons doesn't mean EVERY personal canon is. Oscar Wilde is dead, but not all dead people are Oscar Wilde.

The problem becomes when people substitute personal canon for actual canon in arguments, discussions and informative articles. --M Sipher 01:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, *every fan* has a personal canon. It is impossible to avoid. One cannot consume any story without constructing an internal mental representation of what happened, what things mean, etc.. --Steve-o 14:14, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Is that you, X-Bob? --ItsWalky 15:30, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Why does my request keep getting removed without answer? Am I breaking a rule, or something? If I am, sorry, I was just trying to make a simple request, you could always just say no. - SoundWave 23:15, 19 October 2013 (EDT)

List of examples

Am I the only one who feels that the list is getting too long again? And also sort of overly precise, several of these examples seem redundant. For example, the "first two seasons of G1", "BW, but not BM", and "Cybertron is not part of UT" all seem to be about the same TYPE of personal canon: accepting some seasons of a continuing story, but not others. Similarly, the "deaths in TFTM didn't happen" and "Nightbeat didn't die in Marvel G2" are the same sort of situation: accepting a story except for one detail. The "Megatron is misguided" and "Decepticons aren't intrinsically evil" notes also seem to cover the same ground. --Khajidha (talk) 10:08, 17 September 2015 (EDT)
