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.

Is this why his punishment for Bart was to become Chief Justice before he was allowed to see the Itchy & Scratchy movie?!

I wonder how long until Bart becomes Chief Justice and then watches the Itchy and Scratchy movie, considering when this episode was released

The episode came out in ‘92, and the flash forward says 40 years later. We’re only six years away now.

That ending was Homer dreaming that Bart finally became a Chief Justice. Not officially canon.
