This is discussion archived from a time before the current discussion method was installed.
That Other 1 Dude: Whoever put in "The Great Divide", see the series discussion. Anyway, it is most definitely not self-explanatory. Also, Trogga, can't ignore the entirity of a work unless it's a part of a franchise or from a certain creator. Just ignoring an entire series with nothing related to it has no point.
Trogga: Camp Lazlo is created by Joe Murray, who also created the superior Rockos Modern Life.
That Other 1 Dude: Yeah, I had something like that in the back of my mind. If you're doing that, say that Joe Murray didn't make the show (or the less grating method and not put in the form of "what is this of which you speak")
triassicranger: Shouldn't the stuff about animated films go into the Film section?
That Other 1 Dude: Yes, and I'm sure it's already there.
triassicranger: OK, it's just that someone wrote "Lilo and Stitch doesn't have a sequel" and this non-existant sequel would be a film, and thus would go in Film rather than Western Animation.
Lale: Okay, I give in. Whoever added one of the most popular episodes (the Ho Yay episode, in fact) to make the point that Dis Continuity does not equal "you don't like it," you win.
Lale: I don't know what point someone is trying to make, but from what I've read, "The Firebending Masters" is one of the most popular episodes and the favorite of Zukaang shippers and liked specifically for said DBZ references and just... I don't see what statistics justify calling it Dis Continuity. It fits absolutely nothing in the description on the main Dis Continuity page. I mean, come on!
Later: Seriously, someone, talk to me about this!
Uknown Troper: "This is an entirely personal matter; what has a high squick factor for one fan might be perfectly acceptable to another. Whatever you choose to ignore is perfectly respectable — as long as you don't try to force other people into ignoring it as well. And remember that, whenever Dis Continuity is being discussed, the phrase "most fans" should be taken with an even more colossal grain of salt than usual."
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: There is a difference between a DC Universe Alternate Universe and a Trans Formers Alternate Continuity. People from one DCU alt-universe are likely to stumble into another one sooner or later. There isn't traffic between Transformers alt-continuities as far as I know...
- This troper likes to pretend the new Earth-3 Crime Syndicate doesn't exist, and they're in an alternate universe to the main line too. Some things don't even belong in alternate realities.
Black Charizard: Okay, rejecting the whole third season of Avatar The Last Airbender? I highly doubt most fans do that, and discontinuity is about "most fans". At least bother to give some explanation.
Lale: "Took issue with" does not translate to "written out of canon," either. I wish we could just cut this Dis Continuity trope; it's far too overused!
Black Charizard: Fair enough. I put that in that way to try to include the bit about season 3 in the page history, but I guess it was too whiny to rescue.
Lale: Too extreme.
Charred Knight: Lale, why do you keep deleting crap you don't agree with? I like Great Divide, the animation used in it was originally, the comedy was good, I just don't care for the ending.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Cut this and put it here because it was a) an entirely positive reference and b) a theatrically released film; this means that it had no place in the direct-to-DVD Disney discontinuities. Trust me, I saw this film in the theater.
- TheRescuers Down Under is another decent sequel, and the first Disney animated one to boot!
triassicranger: Guys, I just wondered something. Given that the guy who wrote Garfield worked on the live action movie (or at least the second one) does this mean that discontinuity on it is allowed or what? It's an adaptation and it isn't in continuity with the comic books, but the comic book artist worked on the movie. So I'm confused.
A few days later: Right I've thought about it. While Jim Davies may have had involvement in the film, as far as he's concerned, the Comic Strip Garfield is his canon, not the film. So you can't declare discontinuity because it's in a separate continuity (given Odie's alternate origins).
triassicranger: To whoever put the word "THIS" under the Kim Possible example, why did you do it?
TheLaughingFan: My bad, made up for it.
Alania: Cut the following from the Pinky And The Brain example:
- The DVDs back this one up - Volume 3 makes no mention of Elmyra, and clearly states that it's the final volume of the set.) Even Netflix's description enforces it: "Executive producer Steven Spielberg's award-winning show goes out with a bang."
Actually, Pinky, Elmyra and the Brain was technically a separate show, and so would be a different series of DV Ds (though, as far as I know, there has been no news of this happening).
Neo Yi: I think we need to have some finalized discussion on the concerns of Danny Phantom and its third season, which keeps getting deleted. Everywhere I go, I've seen many, many DP fans complaining about the third season and how it doesn't live up to its quality. The TV.com reasoning feels invalid to me and I particularly need better convincing then that, please.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Cut this and put it here. It's a comic book, not animation. The question is, is it supposed to be part of a continuity? If it is, we list it under comix...
- Very few fans argue against The Beast Within
comic being a Very Bad Thing™.
- Though as the article points out, there really wasn't a point in any established continuity when those events could have happened. So it must have been it's own, which we can just never talk or mention again.
- Very few fans argue against The Beast Within
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Okay, what should we do about the "Disney animated sequels" entry? The general statement is valid, but somehoe, specifically naming only the exceptions feels wrong. Yes, there are a lot of sequels, including some that are in Dis Continuity because most people honestly don't know they exist. But we should name the examples most violently discontinued, not just the ones accepted. And I still think The Rescuers Down Under should not be in the listing at all because it is a theatrical film.
triassicranger: I would like to make a suggestion. Leave the general statement and cut all the stuff under it, and leave all the rambling about which cheapquels people throw out in Troper Tales.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: Thank you.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: I thought The Secret Of NIMH 2 was a Disney film because, the time I saw it, it was on a Disney Channel. Not definitive, but between that, the tonal shift, and the year of release, I thought it safe to assume Disney was behind it. (Most non-Disney Western Animation, when it airs on basic cable, uses Nickelodeon or one of the Cartoon Networks.)
triassicranger: Does Loonatics Unleashed even belong to a continuity at all? Otherwise it shouldn't be here.
Anonymous Mc Cartneyfan: That's under debate. Word of God says no, apparently; but it looks like it should belong to a continuity, and it likely would've been considered part of Looney Tunes continuity if it hadn't caused an uproar. That said - point taken.
