How can there be a "canon" Lilly?

obviously i count big details as canon, but i count small details as canon as well, what is hard to understand about that?

because i count small details as canon this means there cant be just one "lilly canon"

No it does not mean there can't be "canon Lilly". It simply means that once again your understanding is a bit messed up.

Lilly is always the same Lilly in the game. If you're good to her, she'll treat you the same way. If you are not, she won't as well.
The same applies to Kenny. No matter how you treat him, he's still the selfish asshole that will leave people to their deaths. Even if he help you, he does it because he owes you. If somebody else needs his help, he will ignore it.
His personality is a constant, just like Lilly's.
I know you like to think you're really important as Lee, that your choices affect everything and the universe should abide your wishes about who lives and dies but things do not work this way.
Lilly's personality is set in stone. She changes just like everybody - because of huge loss, deep trauma or quite affect experience as a whole. Nobody really changes just because you said "Hi" while smiling.

Comic book Lilly and novel Lilly are both set after the game and there we see the same Lilly. Lee's role in her life is going to be either vague or presented through her perceptions.
Her relations with Kenny are always the same so it wouldn't be hard for him to be mentioned with greater accuracy to detail.

I don't really see a point to this thread as well. I thought all this was self-explanatory.

so is it just me thought in the comic that Lori having sex with shane knowing that rick was alive is different to her in the TV show having sex with shane knowing (or thinking she knew) rick was dead

Does Lilly interact with Glenn, when he's in Woodbury? I can't remember. The comic obviously can't retroactively make her recognize him and mention it, but if they did at least see each other during that period it now adds an odd dimension of how much they must have changed not to know each other anymore by sight.

I don't know about in the book (Road to Woodbury) whether or not she interacts with Glenn, but in the comic we only see Lilly once, or at least we only 'know' that it's Lilly once and Glenn wasn't in that scene.

No, they never meet. Lilly meets Hershel but she never met him in the game. She would never follow the Governor had she seen Glenn.

I had that same question, of why Glenn and Lily didn't recognise each other--thank you, expecially sense I haven't got the money nor the time to buy the comics, So I couldn't have known.

Thank you very much.

Thats the whole point of canon. Taking something directly from its source material and placing it somewhere else without touching a single detail. Having 'change' and 'canon' in the same sentence causes a ripple effect in The Matrix
