random question

what is one notable franchise that you know of that has a layered canon ( as in, there are multiple things that are canon, but are of different levels of canon to each other)

i will start

the Witcher

top-layer canon: the sapkowski books (yep, the books are actually the "true" canon, and what they say goes)

second-layer canon: the games (since the games are technically lisenced work, they automatically get a back seat to the books, but is has also been stated that despite the fact that the books are largely canon to the games, since Sapkowski does not play video games he largely ignores what happens in the games when he is writing the books).

botom layer canon: the television series (it was not very well regarded, and thus neither Sapkowski nor CD Projekt RED really pay much attention to it).
