Meme: Do You Know My Canon?

[firehousehimbo]

We haven't done this one in about a year and we've had new canons come in since then!

Ping in with your canon (as specifically as you'd like for giant insane comic, SW and MCU stuff). Then wait for other people to ping in with their canons! If you're familiar with it, tell them! And then, yay, new people to squee with!

9-1-1

[firehousehimbo]

If someone would like to talk to me about the BATSHIT last 3 minutes of Monday's episode pls do.

Re: 9-1-1

[two_idiots_one_body]

OMG I haven't watched in about a month. Isn't it all batshit, though?

WandaVision

[scarlet_chaos]

We have so many MCU peeps now I'm gonna get super specific (someone else can claim the movies).

Re: WandaVision

[defenderofdesmoines]

Probably my favorite MCU anything aside from my beloved Ant-Man, honestly. So creative and fun (and then, you know, not at all fun, and instead very sad.)

The Boys

[defenderofdesmoines]

Come for the amusing superhero satire, stay for the...toxic masculinity being rewarded, constantly?

I don't know. I barely recommend this.

Re: The Boys

[shireisburning]

You know that I have but I stopped abruptly at 3.07 and will not be picking it back up unless, like, Jensen Ackles' fine ass comes back. YOU KNOW MY REASONS.

The Umbrella Academy

[knife_bender]

Don't come for the plot, come for the sibling bickering.

Re: The Umbrella Academy

[defenderofdesmoines]

I'm so all in on this show, even if there's a lot of "......k" in some parts of season 3. (I need to see how S4 starts to have a solid opinion on the end of S3.)

Best soundtrack on TV, though, if nothing else.

Sherlock

[begmetwice]

Hey, did you need another retelling of Conan Doyle's stories?

Moriarty's hot, at least.

Re: Sherlock

[hasaknightjob]

Yep! Though not all the way to the end. I forget which season it was but sometime after John's marriage I was content to let Tumblr keep me posted.

Stranger Things

[shireisburning]

I know, if you're a contrarian you have to get over the "everybody watches it" hump before watching it but I think it's worth it!

Re: Stranger Things

[defenderofdesmoines]

I'm literally starting this week, I PROMISE. It's my spooky season watch this year!

(I'm a contrarian. It's me. Too many people told me it was good! Weirdly put me off!)

Star Wars (sequel trilogy)

[thatwaslucky]

Okay it didn't stick the landing.

Re: Star Wars (sequel trilogy)

[shireisburning]

Last Jedi is my second favorite Star Wars movie ever. No comment on the rest.

Ant-Man/& the Wasp

[dishesonthetoprack]

I will also be really specific since the MCU is so sprawling! Have you seen this fun movie about a heist? What about the second one, also a fun movie with less heist emphasis but featuring Michelle Pfeiffer?

Re: Ant-Man/& the Wasp

[wildgalegirl]

Yes, lots of fun!

The Society

[cassandras_sister]

A modern day Lord of the Flies, really.

Re: The Society

[canondisasterbi]

Not yet, but I probably will!

Hannibal (TV)

[sharp_man]

The adaptation that made me forget Sir Anthony Hopkins!

Re: Hannibal (TV)

[firehousehimbo]

That was an eaaaaaaaaaaaaarly pandemic watch. You know, back when quarantine was a thing.

Spider-man 2099 / Exiles

[what_the_shock]

Because this dork! (Also I can totally hook you up, and there aren't *that* many issues.)

Re: Spider-man 2099 / Exiles

[mother_love]

Love the Spider-Guy XD

Wonderfalls

[fates_jaye]

It ran for four of thirteen episodes in like 2003 and is now available on YouTube.

Re: Wonderfalls

[defenderofdesmoines]

My first Bryan Fuller.

Also Exiles!

[scarlet_and_indigo]

Out of chronological order, because two in the same canon! She's in a lot more issues than Miguel, though.

Re: Also Exiles!

[carbsliftthespirit]

I actually did read this run of Exiles, but honestly it's been long enough that I remember NOTHING.

Moon Knight

[hasaknightjob]

Though based on conversations I suspect the breakdown is more like yes/no/"You know I keep meaning to finish that..." 😁

Re: Moon Knight

[firehousehimbo]

I watched every episode except the last one! Which isn't the show, it's me. Did the exact same thing to Loki.

Star Wars: The Old Republic

[unusual_sith]

It's free to play, you know!

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

One day I'll get back to my high-level Jedi character and go through the expansions that have come out in the past few years.

(I'll probably get distracted and return to decorating my house instead.)

Harry Potter

[imawizard]

JKR can suck it.

Re: Harry Potter

[firehousehimbo]

Read all the books, seen all the movies...however not something I see myself going back to. Wonder why (we all know why).

The Magnus Archives

[intheeyeofthebeholding]

You can totally listen in the car, you know! If you ever actually go anywhere these days. It's a finite canon! It's awesome! It's an exercise in not naming your main character after yourself!

Re: The Magnus Archives

[defenderofdesmoines]

I listened to I want to say about 2/3 of TMA during the early pandemic/lockdown days, while doing one of the few things we were allowed to do -- wander around on nature trails.

Highly recommend as far as a listening environment, for the record. Nothing quite like listening to a horrible recounting of an Oregon Trail party gone wrong while in the middle of the woods.

Malevolent

[two_idiots_one_body]

It's another podcast! It's got much less canon (so far)! It's *all one guy*!

Farscape

[stykera]

I'm in the middle of a rewatch.

The puppets will make you laugh, the puppets will make you cry, and it's a SERIOUS SHOW FOR SERIOUS PEOPLE.

Re: Farscape

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

I keep watching individual episodes and feeling like it's like, just an incline of about 5% off from something I would really get super into.

Not on the show, which seems fantastic. Some things my brain just doesn't want to grab on to.

Star Wars Legends

[solo_sword]

Sometimes I think... what kind of mess would this canon be now?

(Forever salty about Sword of the Jedi, though.)

Re: Star Wars Legends

[firehousehimbo]

I have read the first two books in New Jedi Order, gave up, then picked them up again saying "this time I'll read them all".

Lucifer

[my_own_advocate]

If you've seen season 6, you can share my beer.

Re: Lucifer

[wildgalegirl]

Yes. What a mess.

The Magicians

[not_a_goddamn_princess]

The canon that didn't manage to ruin itself completely for me through an immensely stupid character decision, even if said character decision was in fact made to the detriment of the entire show.

Mostly because of these beautiful assholes.

Re: The Magicians

[defenderofdesmoines]

Man, I keep meaning to go back to it, but I stalled out at the end of season...2? Maybe early season 3 -- there was a big ol' character death, and then I've been spoiled to hell and back for the Very Big Thing at the end of season 4, and I've watched Margo's whole desert quest thing via YouTube and gifs....

Like, maybe I'll go back at some point but if I did it would probably just because I haven't sussed out what happens to Julia from gifs alone and she's my fave.

Once Upon A Time

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Look. Seasons 1 and 2 were really solid.

I watched until the end. If you get me started I will talk for ages about the problems I had with this show.

Re: Once Upon A Time

[scarlet_chaos]

I watched half of the first season when it originally aired.

The Enchantment Emporium books by Tanya Huff

[wildgalegirl]

Amazingly fun!

Re: The Enchantment Emporium books by Tanya Huff

[existencemisspent]

Yes! I actually have the beginnings of a Jack app somewhere…

Control

[weirderthanthou]

My beautifully weird canon.

Re: Control

[scarlet_chaos]

I started the game and, like many video games, I sort of fell off before I finished it. I liked what I played!
