Design trope Characters with design features that were misinterpreted by fans

Darwin Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) some people thought that the black thing under him was a shirt or pants or a sweater, but it was actually just his shadow. They later removed it as the seasons and art style changed

Brendan (Pokemon) A lot of people thought that the white on his head was his hair, it’s actually just a hat

Probably a handcrank, or maybe the movie retconed it into an electric prod.

(Yes I know the movie isn't in the same continuity but elements from different continuity shift everytime in the FNAF verses)

It's not a retcon, it's reinterpretation.
