* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar2018'' does this for Norse Mythology; while traveling the Nine Realms, Mimir will tell Kratos and Atreus various stories from Norse Mythology; however, unlike the Poetic Edda, in these versions of the stories the Aseir (Norse gods) are [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Villains With Good Publicity]], and Odin in particular is a paranoid, manipulative tyrant, while the traditional villains like the Frost Giants, are recast as a persecuted ProudScholarRace. For instance, the giant Hrungir in mythology was a violent and abusive guest whom Thor killed for threatening the Aesir. According to Mimir, Hrungir was a mentally-challenged simpleton that Odin took into his court so they could laugh at him, and whom Thor murdered out of FantasticRacism.

* A similar thing happens in the 2004 TV movie ''Frankenstein''. When a main character mentions Frankenstein to the original creature, he says, "Creator/MaryShelley's ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'' was a fiction based on fact. I am that fact."

* The ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid'' fanfic ''Metroid III: Return to Zebes'' has the power suit randomly and inexplicably change Samus' hair color, a reference to how the Justin Bailey suit in ''VideoGame/Metroid1'' switched between brown hair for beams and green hair for rockets (the suit's armor switched between green and blue instead of opening the arm cannon's muzzle), while Samus is canonically blonde. Samus spends most of the story with lavender hair. It also randomly upgrades or changes its internal workings, justifying why classic ''Metroid'' and ''VideoGame/Metroid2'' has one beam at a time, the beams in the novelized game stacked but the ones in ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' didn't until ''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption 3]]'', and why the spazer is suddenly compatible with the [[PlasmaCannon Plasma Beam]] in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion''but not here.

* The ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' is a superhero world, so the retcons often relate to comic books. In-universe it is known that TheBaroness of the G.I. Joe stories was a blatant ripoff of supervillainess Lady Hydra, but she was retired for long enough that the comic book authors didn't get killed. It is also recognized in-universe that the 'age one year every four years' ComicBookTime is in honor of the legendary Miss Champion (later Lady Champion) of the 40s and 50s (who is still aging so slowly that she looks like she is in her early thirties even though she is now a mid-seventies school headmistress).

Related to {{Demythification}}, which applies this to {{Mythology}} into HistoricalFiction by DoingInTheWizard. The catalyst of an External Retcon is often a BeenThereShapedHistory character. Contrast with SadlyMythtaken, where legendary creatures or events are presented differently through a lack of research or care, and LegendFadesToMyth, where the events of an earlier work have become distorted into myth by the time of a later work set in the same universe.
