Language: en-US

Type of Problem: Incorrect_content

Extra Details: Why Giancarlo Esposito's character has been renamed to 'Uncle Stan'??? He's nobody's uncle. This name just doesn't make any sense, and the character is never called like this in the show until the last episode.

While the character's name is not listed in the on-screen credits, at his first on-screen appearance he introduces himself as "Stanley Johnston with a 'T'" https://i.imgur.com/676NL49.png

Regardless of whatever name some hack writer invented for some article at Tudum, the character has a particular name given to him by the writers and consistently used in the show, and this name should obviously have precedence over something invented by the author of some article. It may be acceptable in situations when the character's name is never mentioned in the show but revealed in the article or social media, but when you have the name spelled on-screen, by the character himself, using some obscure spelling from some article is rather weird, and definitely does not improve the quality of the data.

Since it's not the first time I noticed such changes, I'm genuinely curious, what is the possible reasoning for dropping the actual character names, used in the show, and familiar to anyone actually watching the show, in favor of dubious information from other sources? Shouldn't the content of the show itself be considered the highest form of on-screen crediting, since it is the information fixed in time for as long as the show exists?
