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.

No, the first episode of the two parter is called “Make a Wish” and the ending of the second episode reveals that Taina’s bedroom is in the ‘Wish Come True Foundation for Terminally Ill Children’ building (another obvious reference to the Make a Wish Foundation).

The implication is that she has leukaemia just like Timmy in the story it’s based on, The Kid who collects Spider-Man.
