Orwellian Retcon	comment	When a Retcon is performed by going back and changing the original work, so that subsequent printings of "the same" work are actually different. This may happen as the result of deciding after that fact that something had Unfortunate Implications, was Dude, Not Funny!, or needed to be Distanced from Current Events, but could also be caused by Flip-Flop of God, Science Marches On, or being Screwed by the Lawyers. Like many tropes, this can be for good or for evil. This one is a prime source of Adaptation Displacement for more recent fans. It may lead to a Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition, Updated Re-release, George Lucas Altered Version, Broken Base, and Creator Backlash, especially if the original version is taken off the shelves. If an entire work is subjected to this rather than a portion, then it belongs to Bury Your Art. Named after George Orwell: in his novel 1984, the main character's job at the Ministry of Truth is to rewrite old newspaper articles to hide the government's flip-flopping on political issues. Contrast Death of the Author, Canon Discontinuity. Related to Early-Bird Cameo, where an adaptation or remake of a work puts in extra early Foreshadowing for later plot developments. Compare Flashback with the Other Darrin. See Written by the Winners and its subtrope Internal Retcon for In-Universe examples.

Orwellian Retcon / int_102a8237	comment	There is a device in City of Reality that is made to do this and this alone. It is brought to Reality by a thief who uses it to predict the every move, and later used by Hawk, who uses it to be "perfect" at everything, until it falls back into the thieves hands. Later, it turns out it was causing freak storms threatening Reality. The same device is later used by the reader in a dark Gamebook in Magic World. And then used by saboteurs trying to steal crystals from all the worlds at once. The first time, they failed due to the high security, but the second time around, they knew exactly what to do. The characters are still dealing with the fallout. This last one is the only one that was actually retconned into the comic, with the original version available off-site. All other instances were treated as regular Mental Time Travel.

Also in Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid originally stated he had to "give Sirius his bike back". This was later contradicted by Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where Sirius Black gave the bike to Hagrid and told him to keep it before disappearing. Later editions of Philosopher's Stone rectified this by having Hagrid just say he had to put the bike away.

While most of the changes were fairly well-thought-of, "Where Angels Fear to Tread" (formerly "The Return") had what was previously an ordinary Romulan Star Navy captain fiddling with Borg tech*something Starfleet and the KDF have been doing, too get retconned to be a Tal Shiar officer who was experimenting on Romulan Republic POWs. This made the moral choice (left over from the previous version) of what to do with her and the Borg tech she's experimenting on no actual choice at all.

For example, one comic involved a vampire watching a TV ad boasting "when you're out of A-positive, you're out of blood!" with the caption "Your Vampire TV station." Larson admitted finding that caption redundant, and sure enough it never accompanies the comic in any other Far Side collection or calendar.

Orwellian Retcon / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): The special issue Sonic Firsts reprinted a few old stories, with Princess Sally recolored to look more like her modern design and all references to "Boomer" replaced with "Rotor" (whose name was changed early on to match the animated series). All of the compilations also recolor Sonic's eyelids from tan to blue, along with various art improvements and continuity corrections. In the case of "Boomer", though, they actually do acknowledge it later on, by claiming that Boomer was a nickname he was given by his parents and Rotor is his real name (it becomes a minor plot point when Silver, who is from the future and thus reading about old events, realizes that references to Boomer stopped early and Rotor came in at the same time — and mistaking that for meaning Rotor was a spy.)

Orwellian Retcon / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: The Chantry is well-known to rewrite historical documents to suit whatever politics it has at the time—particularly mage and/or elven heroes. While the Enslaved Elves fought with the humans' prophet Andraste to free Southern Thedas from Tevinter, after the Exalted March against the (Elven) Dales, the Chantry stripped the elven general Shartan from the Chant of Light, and race lifted Ameridan, an elven mage Inquisitor to support their on-going anti-elf propaganda. They also tend to erase or downplay the heroic accomplishments of mages, since the Chantry derives a lot of power from convincing the common folk that their Templars (whom they keep addicted to lyrium, which the Chantry has cornered the market on) are the commoners' only protection against dangerous magic-users (who they claim, if left unchecked, could create another Tevinter). In Dragon Age: Inquisition, if the Inquisitor is male and in a romance with Dorian, Dorian can remark at one point that he wonders how long it will be before the Chantry writes that part out of the Inquisitor's exploits (due to Dorian being from the Tvinter Imperium)?

Orwellian Retcon / int_23945975	comment	Several movies from the Disney Animated Canon have had this done to them: Aladdin: The opening song describes Agrabah as a "barbaric" locale "where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." In response to complaints about the Unfortunate Implications of that line, later editions replaced it with "where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense" (though you can still find the original lyrics in some foreign dubs and on the original CD release). At one point in the movie, Aladdin gets attacked by the tiger Rajah and says, "Come on...good kitty, take off and go...". Due to other, simultaneous noises (possibly Rajah snarling), it's hard to understand what he says, and some people said it sounded like "Good teenagers, take off your clothes." The line was later cut out in the DVD release, only to be restored for the Blu-ray release just over a decade later. Fantasia: In one scene in the original film, several young black centaurettes with donkey bodies (the one with the most screentime was nicknamed Sunflower) are seen performing menial duties for the beautiful Aryan centaurettes and for Bacchus. Needless to say, later audiences considered this unacceptable, and Sunflower and friends have mysteriously disappeared from all releases after 1969. The two lighter-skinned zebra centaurettes who attend Bacchus got some of their scenes trimmed as well, including a scene where one is trying to help the very drunk Bacchus down from a gazebo. Furthermore, Disney has cracked down on videos on the Internet showing footage of the unedited scenes, so good luck finding any evidence of the original version. In one scene in the original VHS and LaserDisc releases of The Lion King, a dust cloud kicked up by Simba seems to form the word "SEX." Although the animators claimed that it actually said "SFX" (special effects), the scene still got edited in later editions. A number of cosmetic edits were made to The Lion King in 2002 to enhance scenes the original animators weren't happy with. Among the changes were re-drawing the crocodiles in "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" to be less crude-looking*Although the official reason for the change was that they felt the original scene was too rushed, some believe the change was to lessen their resemblance to the art of Michael Bedard and avoid a lawsuit., editing Scar's shadow in "Be Prepared" to better match his head shape, and adding more detail to the waterfall in "Can You Feel The Love Tonight".

The commentary track reveals that this is because the extended edition includes the Houses of Healing scene, which would have happened in the interim, whereas the theatrical cut does not.note Interestingly, the point would be moot in the books, as Merry appears in the Houses of Healing scene; he does not in the films.

Orwellian Retcon / int_2477688c	comment	The Baby-Sitters Club was revised somewhat in later printings, as editors tried to reconcile a few inconsistencies made by Ann M. Martin and ghostwriters: In the original Kristy's Big Idea, Kristy is described as wearing a skirt and blouse. As Kristy would later be established as only liking sweaters and jeans, this detail was changed to fit that. Her mother's name was also originally given as "Edie Thomas", but as Martin later referred to her as "Elizabeth", this was also corrected in later editions. Karen's mother and stepfather were originally named "Sheila" and "Kendall" in Kristy's Big Day. Reprints corrected their names to be "Lisa" and "Seth", the names that Martin would settle on when writing Baby Sitters' Little Sister. An early edition of one Little Sister book had Karen concoct various plans of revenge on a boy that bullied her. One idea was her saying that she'd tell him he was adopted. After parents complained about the implications of that passage, this was changed to Karen's plan being "Tell him I will never ever speak to him again".

When The Killing Joke was digitally recolored in 2008, the yellow oval was removed◊ from every single panel, leaving just the bat, because in 2008 Batman no longer had the oval. This change is baffling since no other attempts were made to modernize the story, which is still canonically set when Batman still had the oval.

In 1948, the studio reanimated the scene so that the wolf was now disguised as a Fuller brush salesman. However, he still had a Yiddish accent. In subsequent prints, especially for TV, the audio was overdubbed to give him a generic "dumb guy" voice.

Orwellian Retcon / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Later editions of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone were edited to make Nearly Headless Nick's claimed age match with the age given for him in Chamber of Secrets. Also in Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid originally stated he had to "give Sirius his bike back". This was later contradicted by Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where Sirius Black gave the bike to Hagrid and told him to keep it before disappearing. Later editions of Philosopher's Stone rectified this by having Hagrid just say he had to put the bike away. Early editions of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets have Dumbledore tell Harry that Voldemort is the last living ancestor of Salazar Slytherin, even though the word "descendant" was obviously meant. This was of course eventually changed, but not before inspiring some humorous Epileptic Trees. Also in the same book, Lockhart mentions that one of the less-than-photogenic people he stole credit from was a witch with a "harelip" (an outdated term for a cleft lip), which was changed to a "hairy chin" in later editions. In the first American printing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, a mistake made by Rowling (in both the British and US-market editions) made it so the order in which the shadows of Harry's parents come out of Voldemort's wand contradicts the order in which Voldemort said he killed them, launching a thousand fan theories. This was corrected in later editions. In the original edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it's a minor plot point that prefects can't take house points. However, this contradicts an earlier scene in Chamber of Secrets in which Percy takes points off Ron. Later editions of Phoenix altered the dialogue so that the rule is that prefects can't take points off other prefects.

However, King Thordan I and his Knights Twelve, seeking the power of the dragons, slew Ratatoskr and ripped out the eyes of her brother Nidhogg. The king and half the knights were killed by Nidhogg and the remaining knights stole away with Nidhogg's eyes and claimed Ratatoskr's power as their own. When the Dragonsong War started, the Church lied as to who started the war, claiming the dragons betrayed them instead. This remained a secret for a thousand years until the Player Character and the remains of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn make their way to Ishgard to hide from the Brass Blades and Crystal Braves after they are accused of regicide. Patch 6.1 adds a few small retcons as part of its effort to shorten the infamous Praetorium dungeon down from over an hour long to half an hour. The player character now only recognizes the suit of Magitek armor they bonded with, "Maggie", after it's destroyed, and the party encounters Gaius for the first time earlier on in the dungeon.

In the digital magazine version, she ends the first chapter responding to her name, which is resolved anticlimactically by Donpa either forgetting or refusing to use his gourd (even though Reo wanted to be Captured on Purpose). In the volume version, Donpa simply never states her name.

Orwellian Retcon / int_5084d29e	comment	Captain Marvel: The original version of 2016's Captain Marvel 2016 #9 had a scene where Magneto and Carol Danvers confront each other. In it, Magneto implies that Carol is Jumping Off the Slippery Slope with her Change the Future initiative and compares her to the Nazis, to which Carol dismissively compares him to an internet troll invoking Godwin's Law. This scene, along with Magneto's appearance, is cut from the trades, as Carol making fun of a Holocaust survivor and dismissing his experiences made her look bad.

Orwellian Retcon / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: Andrew Hussie stated that the playable human characters are supposed to be a-racial, so readers could imagine them as any race they prefer. When a reader pointed out an old page on which one of these characters was referred to as a "white rapper", Hussie went back and replaced the word "white" with gibberish. note The author has stated he had done this as a joke. Soon afterwards, he changed it to "a white guy who is a rapper". Occasionally panels are posted with unintentional errors, which are quietly corrected by the author shortly afterward. For example, when the Bec's Head Base first appeared it had the troll's Sgrub logo. It was quickly changed to the standard Sburb logo. The Sufferer's death was initially depicted with less detail, and soon had more muscles and lines showing the cut of his clothes added. Another example was in a flash where the deceased Nepeta was shown without the Prophet Eyes of dead characters. This was also corrected, dashing hopes of a resurrection. Amusingly the opposite happened in a flashback panel where two characters that were alive at the time of the flashback were shown with Prophet Eyes - again, this was fixed. Overlapping with Cut Song: A dispute with a (now former) member of the music team caused a few existing flash animations to be re-done with new music. In another example, a composer had his songs removed from the fifth music album after he was caught plagiarizing. It happened again when a winner of the fan music contest did the same thing. Another race incident happened after one of the a-racial, Deliberately Monochrome human characters got a "ridiculous game powerup" that involved a wacky palette, including peach-toned skin...and described it as feeling "Caucasian". This was initially done deliberately by the writer to poke fun at the issue, but some readers took it as an excuse for harassment, leading him to rewrite the line as "peachy". And a huge one with John reaching through a hole in the universe and poking his arm into a number of past panels and even a couple of flashes - all of which now have his arm inserted into them if you go back and check. And again with oil being zapped all over past points in the comic by the same.

One such example is when the dominatrix Do-S sics a bunch of brainwashed minions at Sweet Mask. He slaughters them with impunity when nobody's looking and executes the villainess while she's begging for mercy. Then the webcomic revealed Sweet Mask was a tragic Well-Intentioned Extremist the whole time, leading to Murata redrawing the aforementioned scene — the man now spares the minions and attempts to kill Do-S in a much less dramatic fashion while she's trying to fight back. Then she turns out to be Not Quite Dead anyway.

Orwellian Retcon / int_56e10d85	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: Later editions of the book contain a few minor changes to sentences in Elvish. In some cases, these are typos that weren't caught earlier (it's not like many people would know how Elvish is "supposed" to be spelled). In others, it's an actual change to the dialogue. A major change from The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings was the account of how Bilbo won the Ring from Gollum. The Hobbit shows Gollum offering the Ring as a genuine prize in the riddle game, written long before Lord of the Rings envisioned the Ring as an Artifact of Doom that Gollum would never part with willingly. The latter work cleverly addressed this by saying that the account in The Hobbit was Bilbo's own record of what happened, which Gandalf immediately found very suspicious. Bilbo confesses to Gandalf that he tricked Gollum into giving him the Ring. Then later editions of The Hobbit itself was altered to reflect LoTR's characterization of what really happened, explained In-Universe as Frodo learning the truth from Gandalf and editing his uncle's book. All this does, however, leave the weirdness of reading the extant editions of The Hobbit followed by The Lord of the Rings, leaving Gandalf confronting Bilbo about something that apparently didn't happen.

When author Charles Saunders finally reprinted Imaro in 2006 he removed "Slaves of the Giant-Kings" entirely, replacing it with "The Afua". In addition, Saunders moved the chapter "The City of Madness" to the start of Imaro 2: The Quest for Cush and replaced it with "Betrayal in Blood" since in the original publication there was a large gap between "The City of Madness" and the preceding chapter while "Betrayal in Blood" bridges that gap.

The re-releases of Metal Gear 2 in particular also changed all of the realistic character portraits into ones drawn similarly to the style of Metal Gear Solid illustrator Yoji Shinkawa, since all of the portraits in the MSX2 version were trace-overs of real-life celebrities (which could've led to Konami facing legal problems if they were kept due to the unauthorized use of people's likenesses). Dr. Kio Marv's broken Russian in the second game was also rewritten to more closely resemble actual Czech. Even the Japanese Virtual Console release of Metal Gear 2, which is otherwise an emulation of the MSX2 game, uses the Shinkawa-style portraits.

However, when WWE decided to update their "scratch" logo into a more modern, sleeker logo, there was not one mention of the new logo made on-air, despite it replacing the old WWE logo on almost everything (microphones, stage, announce table, backstage interview area, turnbuckles, the patch on the referees' shirts, etc.). Making it doubly bad is the fact that the supposedly "new and improved" WWE Championship was to be revealed that night, but what was revealed was a belt exactly the same as the old WWE Championship, only with the new logo instead of the old. So in Kayfabe, no one exactly knew what was so new and improved about the belt, as it was never mentioned by anyone on air.

However, the producers complained he lost Michael Yarmush's vocal range and would make Arthur sound whiny when he was angry. When they hired Mark Rendall, they had him go back and dub over all of Bradley's dialogue. To be fair, most people think Mark Rendall sounded most like Michael Yarmush out of all the voice actors who came after him.

Orwellian Retcon / int_74f7210c	comment	The Legend of Zelda: The GBA re-release of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past rewrites Link's uncle's dying speech to remove the infamous "Zelda is your..." line. A Mythology Gag, however, has a superboss that gives a more accurate translation of the original Japanese line ("You are... the princess's... ... ... ...") right before attacking. Also the "seven wise men" were changed to "Seven Sages", to be consistent with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, especially since it reveals only two of them actually are men. Originally, the Gerudo symbol in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was a crescent moon and star, very similar to the symbol of the Islamic faith. Also, the text of the Ominous Latin Chanting in the Fire Temple was originally an Islamic prayer. Both were changed in subsequent releases of the game to remove the Islamic references entirely. Also, to maintain the E rating instead of getting bumped to Tnote E10+ didn't exist yet, Ganon's blood shed during end-game cutscenes was changed from red to green.

Needless to say, later audiences considered this unacceptable, and Sunflower and friends have mysteriously disappeared from all releases after 1969. The two lighter-skinned zebra centaurettes who attend Bacchus got some of their scenes trimmed as well, including a scene where one is trying to help the very drunk Bacchus down from a gazebo. Furthermore, Disney has cracked down on videos on the Internet showing footage of the unedited scenes, so good luck finding any evidence of the original version.

The Leviathan DLC goes even further and has the eponymous Leviathans mentioning the AI behind the Reapers, the Catalyst, which has relatively no build up in the main game.

This was primarily to add details and strengthen the build-up to The Reveal of the second murderer's identity, making the Foreshadowing clearer in areas. In addition, the culprit admits to being more conflicted about their decision and shows more empathy towards Kuzuryuu and Pekoyama. Compare the following two lines. Part 5 of Chapter 3 was revised (the first time) to deal with Unfortunate Implications, particularly relating to Souda's Despair Fever symptoms, in which he imagines that he is Sonia. There was later a second revision made wherein Souda survives his injuries, as there was some confusion regarding the nature of his wounds and the author decided against having two murders in Chapter 3, as that was only done to follow Danganronpa's "tradition".

Orwellian Retcon / int_7901ea8c	comment	In BIONICLE's 2001 Mata Nui Adventure Game (AKA Mata Nui Online Game), the islanders were originally called Tohunga, which unknown to LEGO was a culturally sensitive term to the Maori people. The game was also intended to mention ritualistic Haka dances and the deities Papu and Rangi, all inspired by Polynesian cultures. After threats of a lawsuit, the cultural elements were mostly removed, though they remained in a couple of text files and in the game's German dialogue. For the game's 2006 re-release, Tohunga was replaced by the made-up Matoran, the name LEGO had been using since late-2001 for the villagers. The prompt "choose your Tohunga" from the final mini game was however not corrected. Also removed was Tahu's silhouette on the beach and the accompanying short cutscene, as the re-release lets you play chapters in different orders and keeping them would cause continuity mistakes. Later, Templar Studios released the original version on their site (only missing a couple text files), even preserving all instances of Tohunga, which would not have been legally permitted for LEGO.

Subsequent prints and the DVD release edited the dialogue slightly so now it is described as being "Over 2 A.U.s in diameter," which better fits with the established canon for how fast the Enterprise travels under impulse power over the timeframe of the movie.

When these chapters were collected into the tankÅ�bon editions, Takeshi Obata redrew the panels so Near's face would be less expressive. Another example involved the death of Light's father. In the original Jump serialization, Ryuk speculates that since Soichiro never used a Death Note, he would go to Heaven. As the final chapter of the manga ultimately revealed that there is NO Heaven or Hell (at least, Ryuk doesn't think so), Ohba altered the line in the tankÅ�bon release to prevent any further misunderstandings, with Ryuk now speculating that Mr. Yagami would have died peacefully.

Orwellian Retcon / int_a183d57f	comment	In "Space Pilot 3000", the first episode of Futurama, a man using the New New York tube system originally requested "JFK Jr. Airport" as his destination, an obvious joke on the real NYC's JFK International Airport. A few months later, the real JFK Jr. died in a plane crash; subsequent U.S. airings changed the line to a different parody of an NYC location, "Radio City Mutant Hall". A quick gag in "The Cryonic Woman" had Bender applying for a job using the career chip embedded in a severed human arm, which when scanned reads "Prime Minister of Norway." Following terrorist attacks in Norway in 2011, reruns on Comedy Central and SyFy, as well as (eventually) the streaming version on Netflix and later Hulu, used an edited cut where the career was indicated as "Chainsaw Juggler." Cartoon Network's reruns left the joke intact.

Final Fantasy XIV: This trope is what fuels the fight between the Ishgardians and Dravanians — the Ishgardians and Dravanians lived in peace after they saw the awful price Hraesvelgr paid when he was forced to eat the human Shiva. However, King Thordan I and his Knights Twelve, seeking the power of the dragons, slew Ratatoskr and ripped out the eyes of her brother Nidhogg. The king and half the knights were killed by Nidhogg and the remaining knights stole away with Nidhogg's eyes and claimed Ratatoskr's power as their own. When the Dragonsong War started, the Church lied as to who started the war, claiming the dragons betrayed them instead. This remained a secret for a thousand years until the Player Character and the remains of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn make their way to Ishgard to hide from the Brass Blades and Crystal Braves after they are accused of regicide. Patch 6.1 adds a few small retcons as part of its effort to shorten the infamous Praetorium dungeon down from over an hour long to half an hour. The player character now only recognizes the suit of Magitek armor they bonded with, "Maggie", after it's destroyed, and the party encounters Gaius for the first time earlier on in the dungeon.

Naturally this meant that other announcers would fill in, but where this trope comes into play is with the episodes Charlie had taped which had not yet aired. Deciding that it would be "too sad" to hear his voice posthumously, the producers dubbed Charlie's voice over with those of the fill-ins. This came into play again during the summer rerun cycle in 2011: as Jim Thornton had been chosen as the permanent replacement, he was dubbed over everyone else on the reruns — including a few episodes originally announced by Charlie, meaning that some were overdubbed twice!

The poster was silently fixed later to feature the 616 Spider-Woman instead in that spot, and in the same pose. Clearly the artist received a list of characters for the poster, but that list was not clear about which Spider-Woman to include.

Orwellian Retcon / int_c4282b71	comment	In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, an Ascended Extra known affectionately among fans as Derpy was given a scene which not only made her Fan Nickname Ascended Fanon but also gave her a speaking line. However, due to the voice actress thinking Derpy was male, she was given a deep voice which, given Derpy's role as The Ditz and the implications of her name, sounded like a Simpleton Voice. This resulted in complaints from Moral Guardians who claimed that "derpy" was pejorative and insensitive to people with disabilities. In order to avoid continued controversy, the episode became a Missing Episode for a while, and when it returned to iTunes and The Hub, she was given a voice with less Vocal Dissonance and the line referring to her as "Derpy" was edited to take out the name (though The Hub's closed captioning wasn't updated to reflect the change). Many fans weren't happy, but episode writer Amy Keating Rogers later explained why it had to happen. It's worth mentioning that those who bought and downloaded the episode from iTunes early on (for example, those with a Season Pass) have the original version of the episode. Those who have the Friendship Express DVD also have the original version.

For the 60th aniversary in 2023, "The Daleks" was colourised. The new version also has a few dubs, including having the Daleks refer to their ancestors as Kaleds (as established in "Genesis of the Daleks") rather than Dals, the Daleks measuring time in rels (first mentioned in The Dalek Book the year after "The Daleks", but not used on screen until the new series), a few appearances by the word "Exterminate!" and the Cloister Bell (first heard in "Logopolis") sounding when the TARDIS can't take off. At least one of William Hartnell's line flubs is also corrected.

Orwellian Retcon / int_c675b3d7	comment	Star Trek Expanded Universe: In one of the more famous examples in literature, at least among Trekkers, Della van Hise's Star Trek: The Original Series novel Killing Time was released and then almost immediately recalled when it was discovered that the author was a former K/S Slash Fic writer, and that this comes through blatantly in the original text of the novelnote no, the originally published manuscript wasn't explicitly K/S, but the subtext was considerably heavier. The next edition had the worst of the subtext edited out, but original copies can still be found on eBay and in used bookstores, and many K/S fans actively hunt them out. Diane Duane made some minor edits to Rihannsu to clean up internal continuity when the first four books of five were re-released as an omnibus edition in the early 2000s.

Orwellian Retcon / int_c79d691a	comment	An early strip in Between Failures has Thomas using "queer" as a pejorative, which was later edited to a different insult. The creator discussed his reasons in that page's comments section - mainly that Thomas was planned to have a bad tendency to "kick down" due to his general anger and frustration in life, and that he was supposed to eventually confront and grow out of such insults. In practice, Thomas mellowed considerably faster than originally planned and so the bad habit and planned storyline went way out of tone for him and had to be discarded, with the creator going back to snip off the dangling thread.

Orwellian Retcon / int_c9b854c4	comment	The Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys series underwent a major retcon of their first stories beginning in 1959 (the first 34 for Nancy, 38 for the Hardys). Ostensibly to remove dated slang and racist stereotypes, and also to make the stories shorter and faster-paced, this led to a realization that some stories simply fell apart otherwise, so more than a few of the books were completely new stories with nothing but the title being the same. Purists of the two series have criticized the revised books as being bland and sanitized. The original volumes can be found through reprints from niche publisher Applewood Books.

For no adequately explained reasonnote but possibly for the same reason that the card images are altered for the dub, all subsequent airings used CG dice with a completely changed set of Crest markings. Fortunately, the American board game version and its Game Boy Advance adaptation used mostly the original designs, with only the Magic Crest changed to a circle with a lightning bolt in the center. The original Weekly Shonen Jump printing of a chapter in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, of Yugi's duel with Bakura, had Bakura's trump card monster called "Dark Necrophilia". This was then changed to "Dark Necrofear" for the following chapter and the graphic novel reprints, to avoid the Unfortunate Implications of the original name.

Orwellian Retcon / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball: When Son Gohan debuted in Chapter 196 in Weekly ShÅ�nen Jump, he gave his age as three years old, hence why he holds up three fingers. Gohan is said to be four years old on the title page of the very next chapter, and his dialogue is altered in collected re-releases to change his age to four (him holding up the wrong number of fingers can easily be explained by his young age). In the original version of Chapter 213, when Krillin meets up with Gohan to fight Nappa and Vegeta, their dialogue implies they are meeting for the first time. By the time the tankÅ�bon came out, Akira Toriyama apparently remembered that they had met at Kame House a year earlier, and their dialogue was rewritten accordingly. When Goku first attained the Super Saiyan transformation in the Namek Arc, it was stated that his power was increased 10x. This was the same amount that Goku had used for Kaio-ken earlier in the arc and thus wasn't that impressive, so in the tankÅ�bon release, it was revised to 50x. In Chapter 389, Cell originally announced that the Cell Games would take place on "M 17th". "M" cannot stand for May, as it's been several days since the Androids arrived on May 12th and the Cell Games are supposed to take place nine days after the announcement. The kanzenban and full-color editions change this to the more reasonable May 26th, matching the Dragon Ball Z anime. The kanzenban release also added new pages of material that expanded the end of the manga. What's unusual is that as of 2022, the only place you can find this ending are the Full Color Editions and the kanzenban itself in Japan. It has never been translated into English, with most publications content on reprinting the existing tankÅ�bon versions instead.

In response to complaints about the Unfortunate Implications of that line, later editions replaced it with "where it's flat and immense and the heat is intense" (though you can still find the original lyrics in some foreign dubs and on the original CD release). At one point in the movie, Aladdin gets attacked by the tiger Rajah and says, "Come on...good kitty, take off and go...". Due to other, simultaneous noises (possibly Rajah snarling), it's hard to understand what he says, and some people said it sounded like "Good teenagers, take off your clothes." The line was later cut out in the DVD release, only to be restored for the Blu-ray release just over a decade later.

This was altered to him going completely berserk and having to be physically restrained from attacking the culprit.

Orwellian Retcon / int_f38241b8	comment	A minor example from Mass Effect: Interregnum. When the game's Lair of the Shadow Broker DLC was released, it included a list of Garrus's squadmates. Several of them had been included in the fic with original names, so the characters in question were renamed to match.

Orwellian Retcon / int_f4857d3	comment	Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: White Magic is tied to pentagrams and Black Magic to hexagrams, with Demon King Vearn's personal crest consisting of a hexagram around his stylised head with jewels representing his six generals at its points. Both the 2020 anime and the concurrent re-release of the original manga attempt to obfuscate this to prevent associating Vearn with the Star of David, but oddly get more aggressive about it over the course of their release, even at the cost of consistency. The anime version of Vearn's crest is slightly more ornate and curved in appearance, but still recognisable and full explained (even being shown prominently in the Opening Theme). Then in the final arc of both the manga and anime, artwork where Vearn simultaneously detonates a ring of six Fantastic Nukes so that their blasts connect together into a country-sized hexagram is altered so that they instead form a hollow star around an asymmetrical symbol, with the heroes' lines being changed to refer to the symbol by a term never previously used.

Orwellian Retcon / int_f74b5f80	comment	Happened a few times on Babylon 5. Generally this was done to fix a mistake that was detected almost immediately after the first airing, such as Sheridan's old ship (the Agamemnon) opening fire on civilian transports in "Moments of Transition" (changed to the Pollux later), and Sheridan's notorious reference in "Comes the Inquisitor" to the Jack the Ripper murders happening in the "West End of London". Also, all official releases of the original pilot "The Gathering" are the "Special Edition"; the original pilot (as originally aired) is a case of Keep Circulating the Tapes. Averted with the recasting of Anna Sheridan. After Melissa Gilbert played John Sheridan's (Bruce Boxleitner, Gilbert's real-life husband) wife Anna in a pair of third-season episodes, J. Michael Straczynski considered doing a reshoot with Gilbert of an earlier second-season scene featuring Anna Sheridan (originally filmed with a different actress), but it never actually happened. Interestingly enough, some refilmed footage is clearly visible, as there was a Flashback with the Other Darrin in "Z'Ha'Dum". Also lampshaded in the Director's Commentary.

Orwellian Retcon / int_fa5e90fd	comment	While most content updates in City of Heroes added new missions and story arcs, there were occasions when the developers would go back and redo existing missions that were badly designed (making them very unpopular with the players) or that were contradicted by changes to the game lore. The infamous Positron Task Force was completely rewritten from the ground up after years of overwhelming negative feedback from players. This also could happen frequently with the Mission Architect feature as it was possible for the author to edit a story arc that they have published without taking it down and republishing. The arc still had the same ID number and player ratings, but could very well have been changed into a completely different story if the author so chose. Sometimes this was necessary as a exploit fix could have unintended consequences for authors who didn't try to write farming missions and now had to make changes to fix their damaged story arc.

Orwellian Retcon / int_fa70a76a	comment	In "Superman Under the Red Sun" from Action Comics #300, when Superman manages to make it back to the Fortress of Solitude and finds a tiny rocket left from the enlarged Kandor, Superman gets some lead-wrapped Red Kryptonite with the intention to use it on himself, but a few panels later he ends up using a still functioning Shrink Ray instead. After using the rocket to return to the present, he goes on to say he'll wait until the Red Kryptonite's effect wears off, suggesting he had used the Red-K to shrink himself in the first place. Of course, when the story is reprinted more than a decade later, the panel depicting Superman shrinking himself with the shrink ray was changed so that he's using the Red Kryptonite instead.

Orwellian Retcon / int_fd0b756	comment	A major change from The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings was the account of how Bilbo won the Ring from Gollum. The Hobbit shows Gollum offering the Ring as a genuine prize in the riddle game, written long before Lord of the Rings envisioned the Ring as an Artifact of Doom that Gollum would never part with willingly. The latter work cleverly addressed this by saying that the account in The Hobbit was Bilbo's own record of what happened, which Gandalf immediately found very suspicious. Bilbo confesses to Gandalf that he tricked Gollum into giving him the Ring. Then later editions of The Hobbit itself was altered to reflect LoTR's characterization of what really happened, explained In-Universe as Frodo learning the truth from Gandalf and editing his uncle's book. All this does, however, leave the weirdness of reading the extant editions of The Hobbit followed by The Lord of the Rings, leaving Gandalf confronting Bilbo about something that apparently didn't happen.
