even if you dont want to read the epilogues, you gotta if beyond cannon is going to make any sense. also lots of beyond cannon (particularly the middle of the other team) was very fan serviced and has no controversial though because of all the criticism they were getting, which degrades it as a story a little. so read through the epilogues or even just skim them a bit before you get to bc. the trigger warnings arent a joke tho, pay attention to that or dont and skip it im just a guy on the internet
