==Background==
The phrase "canon fodder" first originated on [[halo.bungie.org]] on September 25, [[2011]], when Grim used it in the title of a post going over a podcast he was in.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=34527 ''HBO News'' '''Podtacular Canon Fodder''']</ref> It was not until March 21, [[2013]] that the then-forum monitor Grimbrother One used the phrase to name a series of discussion threads on the Halo Waypoint forums that focused on specific media in the ''Halo'' universe.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/canon-fodder---week-1-petra/0b979283-3c90-4324-9c62-ea3a4b1142a8/posts?page=1 '''Halo Waypoint forums''': ''Canon Fodder - Week 1: Petra'']</ref>
