Fanon Discontinuity/Film: Difference between revisions

** It really doesn't help that the awesome ''Aliens: Earth War'' comic series by Dark Horse ended up being much better than ''[[Fan Nickname|Alien Cubed]]'' and the third movie basically [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog|killing off the second movie's survivors, making the last 20 minutes of Aliens pointless and dooming Ripley as well.]] A good number of Alien fans consider the DH comics [[Expanded Universe]] as canon and dismiss any movies after ''Aliens''.

* Many fans prefer to pretend that the second and third ''[[The Matrix|Matrix]]'' movies never happened. Particularly the third, as it introduced [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|philosophical concepts which just plain didn't make sense]] and then [[Aborted Arc|suddenly dropped them]].

** In the first film, Neo was a man told that everything he knew was a bunch of raining green data and was thrust into a much more dangerous new world. The audience learned right alongside him, and the smirk he makes in the dojo fight with Morpheus is an example. In ''Reloaded'', Neo has become a [[Boring Invincible Hero]] who can kick the asses of 100 Smiths and remains a totally emotionless robot through the whole movie, even when he's making out with Trinity.

* A few ''[[Star Wars]]'' fans hate the Ewoks so much that, nearly three decades later, they still disavow ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' as a legitimate episode of the franchise.
