Angryverse/Continuity family

A continuity family is a common term for a group of distinct but closely-related individual continuities. It is not an official term confirmed by Rovio themselves, however it is not a declaration of immutable canon, but it is an extremely useful organizational tool, providing the essence of how we divide one page from another.

For example, the Classic franchise has always comprised multiple separate, irreconcilable continuities; most prominently the original mobile game, cartoon and comic books. Therefore, there is no single "Classic continuity", but many (many many) related ones. It would be madness to make a separate page for every single timeline-specific incarnation of, say, Bomb, so we group all of his portrayals across the Classic continuity into the same article, considering them a united "family".

And, just as a single franchise can contain multiple continuities, so can multiple franchises be part of a single continuity. For example, Angry Birds Stella is a separate franchise compared to other classic games, however, the characters, mainly Stella and the Minion Pigs, are the same as the classic games but it references the classic games, so it is considered part of the same continuity family, and Stella's appearance in the Angry Birds Stella cartoon is also included on the same page.

Determining where one continuity family ends and a new one begins is an inherently subjective matter and occasionally a cause of debate (see Quirks and gray areas below). One general guideline that fits most cases is that a new family is begun when a series is a) a fresh continuity, b) within a separate franchise, and c) significantly different in cast, theme, style, etc.

Under this organizational scheme, most Angry Birds media falls into one of these categories:


 * Classic continuity
 * Star Wars continuity
 * Agri Birds
 * Movie continuity
 * Summer Madness continuity
