📚 Retcon, noun. 🔉 /ˈrɛtkɒn/ 🇬🇧 ❓ Definition: (in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency. ❗️ Examples: 1. We're given a retcon for Wilf's absence from Donna's wedding in ‘The Runaway Bride’: he had Spanish Flu. 2. Should we assume gendered pronouns conform to modern definitions of gender, or is this a social 'retcon' of the language? 3. That film's jaw-dropping ending would get its own retcon in the sixth film. 4. Next, let's see them come up with a creative retcon for that ludicrous "people being used as batteries" backstory. 5. Although the wikipedia entry gives fleshed details, most of those are a retcon from the Warcraft 3 universe. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌀 @cambridge_dic
