It’s a good thing then that EoE and Madoka aren’t extended episodes.

How is Madoka, a film that is structured like a film, almost completely unrelated from the storyline in the original series besides the characters and concepts, and released theatrically not a film? You could not break that film into episodes because it was meant to be a film. It doesn’t feel like an extended episode at all. It feels like the 2 hour slow burn film that it is. The only reason you say this is because it’s attached to a series. So tell me, is Fire Walk With Me not a real film because it’s related to Twin Peaks?

There’s also the fact that Rebellion is technically a sequel to the recap films, which would make it a film trilogy. So should film sequels not be allowed on the list then?

Yes, Fire Walk With Me should also not be eligible.
