I told you.

Damn so this confirms it.

Damn so this confirms it.

Yeah, Gunn did say it isn't canon. Though, I'd say it was made with the intention of being canon, so unless something directly contradicts it, it should be safe to stay on the timeline

There's no proof Gunn actually sees "canon" as "important". His beliefs on what counts as canon could just be a lot stricter than most

Maybe.

James Gunn, Marvel Have Differing Views on I Am Groot's Place in MCU Canon

Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn says that he and Marvel Studios have different ideas on whether Disney+'s I Am Groot is canon to the MCU.

1. I Am Groot sets itself in the MCU.
2. I Am Groot has no contradictions to the MCU.
3. Gunn can't see the series as canon because... I guess we don't know. Probably because it's silly, unimportant shorts. We don't know why.

Everyone and everything else with the power to confirm/deny its canonicity pretty much confirms it is canon though. Until we have something like an official timeline (like the D+ MCU watch order) I'd say following the stricter rules are usually the more logical way to go.

I would say the same about the comic and animated shorts too, especially since Gunn outright said that the shorts are in the same universe before very explicitly. That implies that it was made to be canon.

Supergirl gets new age rating update from DCU co-CEO James Gunn, and it sounds like it'll follow in Superman's footsteps

Flying the flag for family-friendly flicks

"I think it's exciting to be able to tell different stories for different groups of people. So, you know, Superman was for everyone. Peacemaker is for an adult audience. Supergirl will be for everyone. We have the Krypto shorts that are for children. Then, we have Clayface, which is an R-rated horror film. So, I really like the idea of telling truly different tales within a singular universe."

But we're just going to go around in circles discussing that, so it's whatever.

I'd say the best solution would be to add them with a "maybe canon" citation, but at the end of the day it's Selfish Misery's choice

Even list them somewhere else, perhaps. That could work... then on a viewing order give them a distinctive canonicity marker.

I'd say it'd be better for the "Non-DCAU Animated Universes" thread (not sure if it's already been added)

I may or may not add it. Doped up on Zoloft right now.

Supergirl film takes place during/after Kara's birthday. I think that's been stated multiple times, and Kara's birthday I believe has been acknowledged by Gunn and/or DC as September 22nd (weirdly the same day The Flash movie in the DCEU took place in present day)

I didn't even see what Bold and Brash said in regards to the Wiki.
