Personally, I'd be happy if people accepted that people can have different views on canon; but it seems to me that people are becoming more and more convinced that the "popular" view is the right view that it's starting to have a negative effect on the series. What really gets me is how the writer for these new AVP series comics say that he's simply not going to include the AVP movies in his canon simply because the fan community says so.
It shouldn't matter what the fan community wants, if there's a story to be told involving the movie angle, then it deserves to be told regardless of what the fans want. If, however, there is simply no need to introduce the movie angle, then it's also fine; the story needs to be told the way it should be told and if the AVP films don't fit then so be it. However the way he talks about it, it sounds like he is making deliberate steps to avoid those movies when he should just be acknowledging them like the rest of the writers are doing with their stories, he's standing alone in this regard.
I've seen what fan demand has done to stories, it hasn't been nice; sequels have caused blatant continuity errors to original stories in an attempt to be more true to original script material and what fans want that they alienate not only these fans (regardless of what they try to do) but fans that would have remained fans if they hadn't tried to make such radical readjustments. In the end, what I'm saying is that stories deserve to be told for what they are and shouldn't have to make adjustments to what people want, that doesn't determine a good story, it's what comes into a writer's mind in its truest form that really sells.
