* ''ComicBook/FreedomFightersDCComics'': When the team was first introduced in ''Crisis on Earth-X'', and later in their first ongoing series, their origin was simply that they lived in Earth-X, and later moved to Earth-1 when Earth-X got boring, and that was pretty much it. Creator/RoyThomas later wrote a "prelude" to Crisis on Earth-X that altered things so that the Fighters now had all come from Earth-2, which, if you read the earlier stories, seems pretty impossible, as you'd think ''someone'' would recognize them from their adventures in the ComicBook/AllStarSquadron. There's also the fact that, if this is true, they should look around 20-30 years older now, which they don't, [[MST3KMantra but let's not talk about that...]]


Added DiffLines:

* Part of the infamous "[[ContinuitySnarl/{{Hawkman}} Hawk-Snarl]]" was that ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational's Hawkman was retconned to be an imposter named Fel Andar, and that it was claimed that said imposter had been masquerading as "Carter Hall Jr.", son of the original Hawkman. If you read the JLI comics he appears in, this isn't brought up, and there are times where he's called "Katar" (as in, the Thanagarian Hawkman) by other characters. Now that he was being retconned as an imposter, it wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to reveal his alien origins to them, since it would defeat the purpose of his mission.

* The second ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' book ''[[Literature/TheLostWorld1995 The Lost World]]'' had Ian Malcolm very still alive, despite his apparent death in the first one. (There's even a line in the epilogue about the Costa Rican authorities not permitting his burial).

* Perhaps the most famous (and best handled) example is Tolkien's rewriting of ''Literature/TheHobbit'', where Bilbo obtains a ring that confers invisibility in the Misty Mountains. As ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' reveals this to be the [[ArtifactOfDoom One Ring]], Gollum's BackStory could no longer have him offering an ArtifactOfAttraction as a prize to Bilbo for winning the riddle contest; instead, Gollum would never forgive "Baggins" for stealing his ring. A revised edition of ''The Hobbit'' was published, and the prologue to ''The Lord of the Rings'' explained the inconsistency: the original version was the story Bilbo maintained (building on the idea that ''The Hobbit'' was actually [[DirectLineToTheAuthor an autobiographical novel by Bilbo himself)]], but Gandalf eventually learned the true story by persistent questioning.

In-story, Bilbo finally tells the true story publicly (and to Glóin,) for the first time at the Council of Elrond, more than 70 years after the event.

* From the ''Manga/DeathNote'' franchise comes the two Death Note Rewrite movies. However these movies are generally just recaps of events that happened in the anime through a different perspective and the name is a [[IncrediblyLamePun pun on the show's premise]].

* Originally, ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' was completely its own universe created by the MadScientist Klaus out of nothing but sheer curiosity while at the same time completely destroying the old universe. ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' changed it so that Klaus was less insane with the experiment was more of a desperate is selfish attempt to save a war torn world, which rather than erasing the old universe to create the new one instead sent half Klaus and his fellow scientist Galea into a "far flung" dimension while making Earth completely uninhabitable, leaving the remaining half to rebuild life and ultimately create the world of Alrest on top of the ruins of Earth. And then ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' changed it yet again so that not only was the universe split in two, creating the worlds of 1 and 2, but the world before was actually the same as ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'', albeit with some differences.

''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'', which initially seemed to be a completely destroying the old universe. ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' changed it so new continuity, revealed that Klaus was less insane with the performed his experiment was more of as a desperate is selfish attempt last-ditch effort to save win a war torn world, which rather than erasing HopelessWar and that the old universe to create world in the new one instead sent half Klaus and his fellow scientist Galea into first game is in a "far flung" dimension parallel to Earth. Klaus' malice was split off into Zanza, while making Earth completely uninhabitable, leaving the remaining his moral half to rebuild life and ultimately create remained in the old world, becoming the Architect who created the world of Alrest on top of the ruins of Earth. And then ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' changed it yet again so and its [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3FutureRedeemed DLC]] further implies that not only was the universe split entire series is in two, creating the worlds of 1 and 2, but the world before was actually the same universe/multiverse as ''VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}}'', albeit with some differences.
