Actually a retcon is defined as changing established facts in the continuity a work of fiction. It doesn't matter how.

I actually agree on the inclusion of Devin's character being cliched and stale, and wasn't really a fan of him. But I was really ticked off by the way they got rid of him. Max had that great big emotional scene which effected him for years and that was all a false memory. LAZY. I don't remember how they explained Max not knowing Kevin, I think Kevin didn't know much about his father or something like that.

However that creates another problem. Ragnarok the guy who supposedly killed Kevin's father. He kept mentioning Devin throughout the episode and how he had killed him. So does that mean Servantis would put a false memory in his head as well? Why would Servantis bother putting a memory in the mind of a criminal, that he might not even know about, on the off chance he would escape and confront Max and Kevin later on?

I think they dismissed that as "they didn't see them clearly" which is complete utter bull.

I also got annoyed at seeing kid versions of the plumbers helpers/amalgam kids in their "summer camp". With Helen being all immature and playing tag.

AF does have problems, as a certain someone has constantly pointed out on this wiki over the past year. But despite the changes had mixed reception, it still felt like some degree of effort was put in. The whole DNAlien/Highbreed story arc was not easy, having an alien race infiltrating the Earth and slowly taking over.

Those were mainly problems from AF ses 3, which most people hated (including me). I also somewhat agree that aliens after Alien-X weren't impressive. Not really a fan of UA, it's passable but started having issues. I definitely agree the Forever Knights sucked in the sequels when they started becoming some loser cult who tangled in the blackmarket. Diagon, I was okay with due to the whole Cthulhu theme, but I can understand if that's not for everyone.

Well OV isn't all bad, it improved after they got the whole Nemetrix garbage out of the way, and I enjoyed Ses 3 onwards more. But as a whole I felt it was a step down from any of the previous series.
