** On the inverse of this, while some fans agree with Peter Laird's decision to make them CanonDiscontinuity, some fans will say of vol. 3 (also known as ''Urban Legends'') that they absolutely ''could'' still be canon in at least BroadStrokes. The fact that both a fanmade ending ''and'' the much later official ending make efforts to tie it back to vol. 4 only helps with this.

* What's canon in Duck Canon? Most of the fans agree that Carl Barks work is canon, majority accepts Don Rosa's corrections, quite a lot accept tacitly Gottfriedson's strips. Vicar? Van Horn? Does Scrooge have a half-brother? Are fairly well-liked characters like Fethry or Brigitte canon? The ''cartoons where WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck debuted'' can or can't be canon in context of the work. Some writers, including Creator/DonRosa himself, see Mickey Mouse as a fictional character, others have him interact with Donald. And don't even get us started on ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''/''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' continuity or Duck Avenger...
* While contradictory interpretations of the characters' backstory and motivations are quite common for these stories, there are still online arguments over the characters' morality.
** Don Rosa depicted Scrooge as a fairly honest person, with some shady decisions in his past. His fans tend to view Scrooge in a rather heroic light. Older Italian stories often depicted Scrooge as a habitual con-man, and writers such as Guido Martina depicted him as a former smuggler. Their fans have no problem with seeing Scrooge in villainous roles. Leading to arguments whether Scrooge is a hero, a villain, or both.
** Donald is typically depicted as Scrooge's assistant in numerous stories. But stories typically differ on whether he has undying loyalty to Scrooge, he is simply serving him for self-serving reasons (as Scrooge's potential heir), or is quite willing to betray him ... for a price. There have been old stories where Donald betrays Scrooge in favor of Magica, or whoever else offers a better reward. Fans differ on whether they like a loyal Donald or a mercenary one.
** Stories where Mickey Mouse works as a detective have been commonplace since the 1930s. But some stories depict him as a thrill-seeker who works for free, while others depict him as a professional whose primary motivation is to earn some money and/or pay his rent. Fans differ between viewing Mickey as a boy-scout, an adrenaline junkie, or an avaricious mercenary.

* Fans of ''[[Franchise/{{Tintin}} The Adventures of Tintin]]'' prefer to not talk about ''Tintin in the Congo'', due to its racist and colonialist tone as well as animal cruelty, and to a lesser extent because Tintin's characterization in it doesn't fit with the later stories. Even Hergé himself [[OldShame was embarrassed by it]]. ''Tintin in the Land of the Soviets'' is usually ignored by both fans and publishers due to being anti-communist propaganda and being drawn in monochrome. ''Tintin in America'' is sometimes but less often discounted largely because, in common with the previous two, [[RandomEventsPlot it has a very disjointed plot than leaps from one place to the next with no guiding theme]]. ''Cigars of the Pharaoh'' or ''The Blue Lotus'' would then be the "real" start of the series. It helps that the early albums are not referenced much in later stories. And that these stories lack the series' fan-favorite supporting characters, since Herg&eacute retooled the series to include an extensive cast of close friends for his initially lonesome protagonist.
