random reply, but Congorilla is actually a very old character in DC. He initally debuted as "Congo Bill" in 1940 who was a sort of wildness adventurer type hero. In 1959 the character was revamped into "congorilla" when he found a magic ring that would allow him to switch bodies with a giant golden gorilla whenever he wanted it.

since then he has been hovering around the perphieries of DC canon. Actually he could currently be Robins babysitter for all I know I dont follow the comics that closely anymore
 
I guess this means Flash and Aquaman already exist by this point in the DCU, due to the classroom scene in Peacemaker not being included as "non-canon".

They reference the Justice League pre-cameo. I don't really think we can say that literally every single detail is canon except the cameo, I think that S1 happened in the DCU but is only directly canon in the DCEU.

This is a really interesting interview. Gunn addresses canon and to me, he seems to affirm the idea of it being malleable and even seems to welcome the idea of head-canon.

Ugh, this line gets peddled out by people in the genre in different mediums time and again and it never ends well.

People lap it up thinking they can ignore what they don't like and have their own curated canon, but in a few short years when this approach all too predictably ends up with contradictory installments that no two creatives can agree on they'll just turn around and act like they hated it all along

IMO this is just bait for people who'd like to willfully ignore most of the last decade of DC content
 
Head canons are fun and all but I don't really think they work at all without a coherent base canon to play with

The furthest they should go with this line of thinking is more akin to how DC was treating the black label stuff with their main continuity in the comics

That reminds of the Pixar Theory with the supposed timeline being very convoluted

I look at it as Gunn being respectful of others' opinions not being an elitist asshole like a lot of creators (*cough*GregWeisman*cough*)
