gay garbage western calarts shit
There are plenty of instances of creators changing characters retroactively, but specifically going back and replacing parts the original work to push those retcons? Can't say I'm aware of any.
>>144311648I feel like Marvel and DC come to mind, but that would piss people here off.
>>144311740thread's barren anyway, might as well post 'em if you got 'em
>>144311882I'm not THAT knowledgeable on capeshit, it's the kind of thing I filter here.
>>144311548That tweet makes me cringe. It's like the creator picked up those buzzwords from the Nick executives that rejected him.
>>144311957>>144311740 Ah, I see, you are talking out of your ass then. Even the first thing you say is idiotic, most from /co/ are the kind of people to throw a hissy fit over changes like that. I dropped Spider-man to never touch it again after One more day, and I had read every single fucking coming and crossover from him since Amazing Fantasy up to that point.
>>144312701Maybe it's different because it's multiple people having to write one character, as opposed to one person writing one character.
>>144311548I remember following (((Goldstein)))) back in my High School Deviantart daysHe seems retarded. If course retroactive changes would be done to his work to appease others. That's anti-art.Good for Him for getting the rights back after Nickelodeon had enough sense not to produce more Calart garbage.
>>144311740Retconning stuff or changing characters is one thing. Even if they did retcon a detail in future re-prints, you could still find proof in original prints. In the case of OP, since the only place to find the webcomic would be on the guy's website, he controls the version that everyone sees. The Killing Joke got an infamous re-print where it changed all the coloring, but the original version is still easily accessible. I can think of similar scenarios for movies, TV shows, and video games. You have situations like Disney Blu-ray remasters that completely fuck over the color grading with the only way to have the original is with old DVDs or VHS copies. There's stuff like "Star Wars Special Edition" where it became hard to find the originals during the VHS days. You can make an argument for video games that get free updates and are vastly different from the original game that released; for example, you simply CAN'T play the original version of Team Fortress 2 that released in 2007 on PC anymore. The closest you can get is maybe playing it on console where it got no updates. Maybe the closest to OP example I can think of is when anime airs scenes that are crappy or incomplete and fix it for DVD release. Unless people are recording those episodes when they original air, it's very easy to pretend those scenes didn't exist. We're in the era of streaming original content with no digital releases, so it's well within the power of a studio to make changes to an episode that only pirates would be able to see if a difference exists.

Hollywood brainrot is so real.
I know The Phantom retroactively changed some art and dialog to match new canon. Int he beginning he only had one type of ring, the skull one that left its mark on whoever he punched. But he'd also give it on someone's hand to show they're an ally of his. Writers/editors realized that was a bit confusing so they had him get another ring featuring 4 sabers that's for that purpose. So older stories were then edited to match this.
