Okay I admit, I should've made this post prior to KH3's release, but I want to make this in regards to the Titans and whether KH3 retconned their appearances from the first KH game and Kingdom Hearts II?
Because although in the opening cutscene, the narrator said "some of them the same monstrosities Sora and his friends had already fought and bested before" since Sora, Donald and Goofy fought them in the Coliseum (mainly the Rock Titan, while Sora faced the Ice Titan) in the first KH game, here it like this is the first time they've seen a Titan. Even the same can be said for Hercules since he fought the Rock Titan in the opening to Olympus Coliseum in KH2, but in here he doesn't recognize them.
Plus the KH3 Journal entries for the Rock and Ice Titan the entries NEVER mentioned about Sora previously fighting them in the Coliseum in the first KH game nor about their revival as shown here

On top of that, Hades said he put 18 years into his plan for the planet's to align to release the Titans and rule over the cosmos was just like what happened in the original movie when the Fates told him his future, as shown here:
I've seen a lot of arguments and debating from fans saying that Olympus/Olympus Coliseum is set after the events of the original movie (e.g. Hercules now considered a Hero, Hades reviving the Titans, etc.) and others say the world is adapting the events of the movie but much differently? True the world does acknowledge key events from SDG's previous visits to the world such as in KH2 that they were still "junior heroes" and have all the trophies from the Coliseum matches from the first game and here Sora asked Herc how he got his strength back when rescuing Meg back in KH2. On top of that, Hercules was still a teenager in BBS while training with Phil. So I'm perplexed with what's happening here.

Rock Titan KH1 Journal Entry:
Immortal giant in the form of a stone crag. He has two heads, but can only think with one at a time. Defeated once by Hercules, he's now on the loose again, courtesy of Hades.
Rock Titan KH3 Journal Entry:
A gargantuan being made of solid stone.
Ice Titan KH1 Journal Entry:
Defeated once by Hercules, he received new powers from Hades and resurfaced. His body is made of large blocks of seemingly impregnable ice. But the ice shaping his face is quite fragile. Naturally, he is weak against fire.
Ice Titan KH3 Journal Entry:
A gargantuan being made of frigid ice.

"I put 18 YEARS into that plan and you blippin ruined it!"
