You can't compare comics to TV shows because retcons in comics are inevitable. These are stories that have lived on for over 70 years and through hundreds of issues. Retcons are an eventuality.

But this is a TV show, it's supposed to be more consistent. You can't just simply pull out a new Dinah who just happens to have the Canary Cry and pretend, "Oh, well, this is what was planned all along!" No, that's just terrible writing.

Now having said that, I do like the new girl, but no matter what, I will never be able to look at her and see the Black Canary. Instead, she's just an attempt at fixing mistakes that are unfixable.
