Talk:Revisionism (fictional)

list

can anyone provide a more thorough list of examples, in addition to Dances With Wolves and Wicked?

Here's a couple I can think of offhand:

• Fantasy/Myth (Beowulf): Grendel (novel)
• Shakespeare (Hamlet): Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
• Western: Unforgiven
• Superhero Comics: Watchmen

"Unlike most usages of the term revisionism, this is not generally considered pejorative." According to whom? This sounds like a distinctly pro-revisionism point of view.

I have no problem with parody, and I have no problem with reinterpretive works like The Once and Future King (for years, I've had it in my head to write a retelling of Cinderella, perhaps from the Fairy Godmother's point of view, and purporting to be the story that The Brothers Grimm, Charles Perrault, Walt Disney, Rodgers and Hammerstein, et al. were all trying to tell), but I see truly revisionist fiction as nothing more than pointless rebooting of established canon.

After many years of challenged non-verification, it is surely time to prune the selective OR from this article, on which I have made a start. Bjenks (talk) 01:56, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
