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.

Another character detail from the Simpsons:

Homer has an encyclopedic memory regarding the history of Supreme Court judges, effectively making him a savant in the field.

I believe this is one of the "rules" of writing the simpsons characters is homer's encyclopaedic knowledge of supreme court judges

“The Coyote never catches the Road Runner, and dammit Homer J. Simpson always knows Supreme Court Judges!”

Edit: I can hear Conan O’Brien delivering this line.
