  1. I remember a bit from I think it was college humor, where they compared fan bases to religions and it's pretty accurate to a degree, fans love shows because of the stories told within them, characters exist, they suffer, they adapt, they overcome, they grow and we the viewer can grow with them. many people will say ''it's just fiction'' but how would those same people or many other people react to a story like the Bible? the Koran? the Saga's? many of these stories have fictional events that don't reflect reality at all and yet millions of people worldwide believe in them, inspire them, drive them to actions or views on the world at large and their part in it. fictional stories like Star wars or Star Trek aren't my cup of tea but I've seen other people love those shows, they love the characters, what they represent and when a cannon gets changed it's like hearing those stories who might have inspired you, be ridiculed, disgraced, changed, mutilated and to you it's insulting and offensive. I don't recommend anything violent but I can guarantee you if fans of shows were fanatical that they would commit say terrorism against corporations that change their cannon, those companies would not attempt to change it, nor dare to add anything to it. That's silly I know but in the real world we do have people who commit such acts and corporations, leaders and nations dare not make fun of some of those religions out of fear of violence against them. btw, Im not bashing religion, it's a fundamental freedom for people and plenty of ideological nonsense out there that's just as if not more destructive, im just making an observation on why people care about stories, cannon and fictional stories because people care about that which inspires them or gives them hope and dislike or even hate those that take their stories away from them for their own profit.
