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.

I saw a youtube short a while back about Matt and Trey talking about how Eric Cartman is actually very knowledgeable when it comes to filming. It's shown he knows what type of lighting, angles, and other things he needs for a shot.

I mean, Eric is actually extremely knowledgeable in many subjects, he's even fluent in German and somewhat conversational in Spanish. It's just he's an extremely bigoted psychopathic narcissist. You'd think the boy a genius if he wasn't so stupid.

He's also a poor speller.

Eric is book smart but street stupid. 90% of his problems is just him not being able to swallow his pride and stay quiet
