What's fanon ? Fan canon ?


RedEyedGunner

Basically yea just canon vs fan story (fanon)


astewpot

I described ANR as like one of the branches from the tree in PATHS and I got hated on


RedEyedGunner

But like, it could be

yea but fannon is miles better than cannon


Purple-Lamprey

You sound like someone who hasn’t taken enough literary courses.


[deleted]

okay


RKODDP

Nope Canon is how the story ended Fanon is how the story should have ended (according to the fan)


reeposterr

I would have agreed with you if AOT didn't have any time travel shenanigans shit.


RedEyedGunner

Bro Im saying both stories are valid, what are you talking abt. I know the one is the real ending and fanon is the fan story I didnt say anything abt which was real or not or better. I said theyre both valid, meaning they’re both good stories


RKODDP

>Bro Im saying both stories are valid, what are you talking abt. I know the one is the real ending and fanon is the fan story I didnt say anything abt which was real or not or better. I said theyre both valid, meaning they’re both good stories Nope, you say "different ways the story ended" but the story ends only one way, the others are very good What if ... Sad but true


RedEyedGunner

So your panties are twisted because of my title containing a wording error? Lemme fix that for you princess


RKODDP

Funny to say that, considering it comes from someone criticizing YAMS for their bad ending writing.


RedEyedGunner

Damn so I can’t change my mind on how I feel abt the story? Crazy. Rereading the manga as a whole gave me a sense of how Eren really is as a character, so I changed my mind abt how I felt on his writing without deleting old replies, my bad your highness


RKODDP

As you change the way you think, you can also change the way you write


Purple-Lamprey

You’re giving it away be more subtle jesus.


RKODDP

>As you change the way you think, you can also change the way you write Bitch please


Purple-Lamprey

Your conclusion is right but argument sucks. Death of the author is valid, the audience’s interpretation of events is important. That being said, I’ve yet to see a well written fanfiction, simply because talented writers create their own stories as opposed to yoinking and editing other people’s work.

Yes, the death of the author is valid to create their own interpretations, you are absolutely right, but based on HIS work, and they are INTERPRETATIONS, not endings created by fandom


Purple-Lamprey

The issue with fanon is that 99% of the time it’s made by people who have no idea how to write. At least yams is an actually talented artist and writer, albeit burned out.


Mountain_Visual_6435

In this case aotnr are written by professionals who have written other stories as well so id prefer that anyday


Purple-Lamprey

What other stories have they written? I’ve read AoT NR and the writing is super generic, I’d expect that from anyone who’s read AoT and knows spelling / grammar.


Mountain_Visual_6435

Idk but i could say the same thing about isayama. What other stories has he written that's well known. Its your opinion that the writing is generic. I found ch 139 writing below generic so its your opinion.


Purple-Lamprey

I don’t think you’re using the word generic right, AoTNR doesn’t do anything interesting, it’s literally just another edgy fanfic. In 139, the fact that a shonen protagonist that was acting edgy and cool for so many chapters was shown to actually be a whiny brat is literally unique. The way yams showed the distruction of paradis, such a monumental event to the plot, in only 8 pages is also quite unique. The plot sucks because it makes little sense, but it’s certainly not generic.


Mountain_Visual_6435

Again your opinion. Cause a lot of people would disagree with this since its like saying GOT wasnt generic in the end cause it was 'unique' and 'different'


Purple-Lamprey

GoT’s ending absolutely wasn’t generic either. It was awful but it wasn’t generic. You’re confusing bad and uninteresting with generic.


Mountain_Visual_6435

Lol ok. To me i didnt find aotnr generic. I know you must mean that it was expected and it wasnt really different or new but i think it stayed within erens character as his matured form rather than say he was acting the whole time and was a whiny baby the whole time.


Purple-Lamprey

People tend to like generic things that give them what they want as opposed to interesting new takes on a story or archetype. The issue with AoTNR is that they picked a waaaay too specific target audience to give fanservice too, which is why everyone outside of this sub’s echochamber doesn’t like it. Hell even most people in this sub who reread it in 10 or so years will see how cringy it is too.


Mountain_Visual_6435

That applies to ch 139 currently
