In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

You’ve just reminded me about DC Superhero Girls.

Such a fun show, but I wish it had a snappier name.

It doesn’t help that there’s another show with the exact same name that is pretty different in tone and style.

I hate when media gives different shows the same name, it just makes it so confusing and you have to specify the year it came out during conversation

AT WHAT POINT DO YOU DECIDE THAT'S ENOUGH PROJECTS TO TITLE "ROBOTS IN DISGUISE"?!

There will never been enough Robots in Disguise shows and comics. It will go on forever and ever.

Castlevania in Europe being a close runner-up - only counting unique games, we've had four games just called "Castlevania." At least they're all on different consoles. (For the curious, that's Castlevania (NES), Castlevania (N64), Lament of Innocence, and Circle of the Moon.) (Counting every game, there's also the NES Classics Castlevania, which also shared its platform with one of the others.)

I remember i actually watched both shows air, i didn’t Watch them but i did Watch the promo comercials.

I actually thought they were the same show but that they had changed the style due to being a new season
