Interesting. Is the definition not simply “
it has no bearing on the story, but we need the padding”, just like the
typical type of filler? I guess the other two meanings are “material not in the original source(s)” and “things I hated”, but those are merely a consequence of the main definition or sub-group of it, the first being “the filler I noticed” (there’s always padding when you go from 2D to 3D). And the second, is simply a way of saying “I didn’t like the story(telling)” and filler there is just one argument and not a replacement term.
Of course when I mentioned filler earlier I was only using the term as a means of saying “giving information of what is canon and what is not”. Well anyway, issue resolved; I think.
