DC Extended Universe / DC Universe - Timeline

Maybe Krypto is non-canon to Gunn in the sense that it's unimportant and there's nothing to replace it's events.

Thats literally what I said.

Then... Krypto is just as canon as the novel.

No. False dichotomy.

The novel holds important information, regardless of canonicity. It remains in the timeline for the time being. The Krypto shorts contribute nothing. Just "fun".

I feel the best way to settle the canonicity of both would be to ask the creators if they intended them to be canon, or just appear as though they were canon

 

[Pro Bot]

Importance doesn't dictate canonicity... that mentality is the exact reason Gunn thinks I Am Groot is non-canon.

Again, it could just be appearing as though it were canon (like Avengers Assembled)

Avengers Assemble isn't "definitely" the same (let's say) Iron Man you fall in love with in The Avengers.

Pro Bot… you are reminding me of a family member. A very neglectful awful person in my life who took my opinions, mostly political and identity related not comics albeit, far too personally.

I am trying my damnest to be chill with you but you are honestly making it impossible.

 

[Pro Bot]

What!? We're literally talking about a comic book, novel and animated shorts. It's not that serious.

I can't think of better examples right now, but one could definitely create something that appears to take place in-universe, but doesn't

Yes it is. You are speaking EXACTLY like that person did.

 

[Pro Bot]

Grow up, dude. I'm sick and tired of this antagonist nonsense. I'm allowed to disagree with you. Not once have I insulted you in this discussion. I'm annoyed at James Gunn, not you.

 

[selfishmisery]

There you go blaming me for something you started.

Come at me again, I dare you.
Be a little less passive aggressive next time.

 

[selfishmisery]

Grow up, dude.

Likewise.

 

[Pro Bot]

Why are you threatening me? What exactly are you gonna do? More importantly, WHY? Sorry that I disagree with you, damn.

 

[Pro Bot]

What exactly did I start with you? Please point to an example.

 

[Pro Bot]

Four people are very well aware that I was talking about Gunn and that not everything is about you. You act like I have a problem with the novel and comic being on the timeline, lol, no. I don't. I just think that, if we're being 100% consistent, the Krypto shorts are just as canon.

False dichotamy said in a disingenous manner.
You know the context in how you said it.

 

[selfishmisery]

You done? Ok because I am blocking you. This convo has derailed too long.

When you calm down we can talk like reasonable fans.

You too, @eloesch289
