Among Us Discussion thread: Fungus Among Us šŸš€

Why would we assume that a TV Show automatically is canon to the original media? Especially in this specific case since this has lore differing from the game itself.

Itā€™s like saying an adaptation of, letā€™s say a movie, should be the same as the book. Adaptations can vary a lot, and I think the animated series is no different.

because they specifically updated it to follow and have all the stuff the show did implying they want it to be canon ontop of nothing saying that its non canon with it not going against the lore in really any way and rather adds to it(as it seems now that the game tales place after season one of the show)

This isnā€™t enough evidence and just relies on a faulty premise.

The video you linked doesnā€™t even have everything the show provides 1:1 and a lot of the rooms in the Skeld look very much the same prior to the update. (e.g. Security, Reactor, Navigation, etc) Youā€™re wording it as if they attempted to make the game align with the show when it should vice versa if it was truly an adaptation of gameā€™s canon.

It can just be said that a lot of the new features we see in the current map are added for flavor + Quality of Life, not specifically to align the story of the show with the game. Weā€™d need a direct statement for us to see if this is the case, otherwise it kinda falls flat.

Also, saying it seems fine because ā€œnothing is saying itā€™s ā€˜non-canonā€™ā€ is like me saying aliens must have visited Earth because nothing says otherwise. If youā€™re making a claim, you need to actually give reasoning as to why it is THE case, not just basing it off of vibes.

New tweet from the official twitter replying to someone asking if the show is canon to the games
 
I do still feel like we should keep the profiles seperate at least, as in avoid scaling the show and game to each other even if they happen in the same "canon"
At least until i see the video game Impostor turn into a giant room sized mass of goo

Not sure what this is exactly meant to provide but it is useful. I think (especially from what the official account said) this is basically a case like Sonic or Mario. Even though it takes place in another continuity/storyline/etc, itā€™s still canon to the overarching world of ā€œAmong Usā€. Itā€™s like they said, ā€œthis isn't THE only story of Among Us, just one of many that are happening all the time.ā€ Itā€™s like how Daima is canon to Dragon Ball even though it may not fit a preexisting timeline like Super.

This implies that each story is indeed separate, but obviously are all canon to the franchise as a whole. The main issue here is primarily consistency and continuity. Like @Aguywhodoesthings said, itā€™s better to keep these profiles separate.
 
Even so, the characters in the show are so distinct that Iā€™m not sure that should even scale to the average crewmates and impostors tbh. Like they have very fletched out roles n shit

I feel like we should just treat this how Mario handles Hotel Mario, where even if explicitly not fully stated we can assume they take place in separate canons
 
The Feats that stood out to me are;

    • Red slipping upwards
    • Lime breaking a wooden board
    • Red making a tiny shockwave by growing big
    • Imposter size
    • Red breaking a steel crate door
    • Purple getting thrown into a crate, denting it
    • Maybe some other stuff idk
 
Ok thatā€™s me caught up to the end of episode 5 so thatā€™s cool, Iā€™ll try and finish off the series tomorrow.


Also this show kinda good lmoa, Iā€™m enjoying my time
