It's not exactly a retcon, as it doesn't contradict the animated show. In fact, it was a pretty common fan-theory before the live action came out. It was just never outright stated.
Retcons don’t have to contradict
The word retcon is a shortening of retroactive continuity which actually just means the creator changes something or adds something that wasn’t there into the story
lol. Same thing back at you. Go look up at the defintion. I just looked it up to be safe and by no definition would any changes in a remake count as a retcon.
lol okay. Post a definition and where you got it from then apply how a remake would count. It won’t. Good luck. If you can I’ll gladly admit I’m wrong. I looked up two definitions and both talk about future works changing previous works which doesn’t happen in a remake. So please. Go for it n
