RWBY Vol 9 General Discussion Thread: Multiverse Of Therapy

The argument here is that the simulation is indicative of RWBY’s actual abilities and strengths. So what happens there would follow with what RWBY can do since that’s what the simulation is based around.

This is exactly how SAO and the Matrix is scaled on this wiki btw, except its only applicable to avatars inside the simulation

Reality equalization is a beautiful thing to give us High 6-C Matrix

Well that's a shame, I was honestly expecting only the comic to be non canon but I guess it can't be helped. Still if you in need of scans of the whole memory thing of the movie, I can always create an imgur link for any relevant scans pertaining to it if you would like that.

The memory thing was mostly to address the lack of recognition from the RWBY team towards these very similar characters, but if neither are canon then that aspect of it has been rendered moot. I appreciate the offer but I wouldn't want you to spend your time on it if you don't need to.

Fair enough, it probably didn't help its case if the writers specifically called it canon adjacent to the show as opposed to outright saying its canon so it'd be a pointless endeavor to collect scans of the memory thing I guess.


Though, do you think it's possible to index the JL x RWBY movie on the wiki as it's own continuity? There's going to be a part 2 to the movie coming out at some point in the future so I was hoping we could, at the very least, index the Justice League from that movie or not.

We should probably make a new CRT for what the hell Canon-Adjacent means for the wiki and make a standard for it

To make it mean "AU or side story that happened in cannon depending on context"

We just reached a unanimous staff consensus that neither would be considered canon. According to the three admins I've asked about it so far, Wok, Damage, and Ovens, we treat the term canon adjacent as non canon for our profiles.

Canon-adjacent means canon until it contradicts the source material. If you disageree then a discussion thread is necessary
 
Okay, but what is the answer to my question? Did the authors refer to them as canon adjacent?
 
Never said that. This is about the phrase canon-adjacent specifically. You made the claim that MHA and SW had material that was canon adjacent. But the authors never called it that, so why would they be included in a discussion about how we treat works that are called canon adjacent?

Im trying to see if youre willing to enforce your viewpoint on other verses similar to RWBY or if you really are just targeting this one verse but dont actually believe your own arguments in reference to other verses

Ok at least in terms of MHA….pretty sure the term “canon-adjacent” is never used.

With MHA the contention is over whether we consider the movies to be canon or not but I’m fairly certain Horikoshi has directly called the movies as canon to the main storyline, not something like “canon-adjacent” as I don’t think that’s a particularly common word to say.

For example, nine get referenced in the main manga of MHA and other supple-mantle material. And I believe Hori himself has made some comments on the matter.

though I suppose I still do question why something “canon adjacent” wouldn’t be considered canon the wiki but I’m still reading over the previous thread.

Thing is, Kerry (one of the head writers, executive producer, and director for RWBY) said the movie was canon but it was still agreed to be non-canon for some reason, and the comic in question expanded on one of the biggest historical events in RWBY by making Cyborg the only astronaut ever, with him becoming a cyborg because his spaceship exploded trying to leave the atmosphere, but that too was deemed non-canon
