Continuity in general is the elephant of Power Rangers. Many seasons where characters are all "what's a power rangers" or "power rangers are just comics" only for later episodes to reveal that said season is in continuity with the previous ones. Supposedly this happens because this season or that season we're intended to standalone and the writers didn't know the team up episode would happen at the time. That's perfectly understandable the first couple of times it happens, but when it's the 25th anniversary season and the Haley doesn't know what a power rangers is, there's no more excuse.
And then there's the fact that even if the current villains of any given season were to defeat the current team of rangers, there's all of these past rangers that would stand up to them. Acting like the current team is the last line of defense simply isn't true.

First, you may want to put spoilers in the title of this thread. Anyway, in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Strange's spell basically destroys all knowledge of Peter Parker's existence. But there must be SOME evidence of him still lying around, at least a birth certificate or something. Not to mention, does it only apply to Earth, or does it affect the multiverse too? Do the Tobey-verse and Garfield-verse characters still know? How about Strange himself (he did mention Spider-Man briefly in conversation in MoM)? How about the characters currently off-Earth like Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Captian Marvel, The Guardians of the Galaxy, and Thor?

Yeah, it's an issue... cause if there was no record of him anywhere... he'd have no records.. and you see him with a GED study guide... he'd need to have some like government record that Peter Parker for him to take the GED exam. Spider-man people remembered they just didn't remember anything about Peter Parker's existence... so Strange could remember Spider-man helping fight Thanos but not him taking his mask off.

Look, let's all just be honest and admit Lucas was just making shit up movie per movie. Oh he absolutely did that for the original trilogy, especially since he didn't even know he'd be able to continue the story after the first movie, so it was made to be self-contained. The only real thing planned in advance for the other movies is that the Empire was going to be defeated by a primitive species on a forest world. Originally it was supposed to be Wookiees, but they ended up being too advanced (thanks to Chewie being really good with tech), so he created Ewoks instead.
The prequel trilogy was planned out in advanced, though. Disney for some reason didn't plan ahead for the sequel trilogy and it ended up a creative mess, especially since it was multiple collaborators of equal standing instead of mostly Lucas with his chosen associates.

His records and physical evidence have to be there. It would be impossible to function in society today without records. It has to be just memories. Like if you showed Ned a picture of him and Peter he would rationalize it as he must have met Peter but he doesnt remember him or anything about him. Peters school records are probably there but he didnt want to go back and finish with all his friends not knowing him. Hence the GED.

The extended edition supposedly has a scene that deals with at least a little of the Peter Parker problem. You see photos of things he should be in and his face is always obscured by something jumping into frame. Basically…he was everywhere he was and did everything he did not no one remembers him and all proof of him has been covered.
As for birth certificate and the like…I don’t see it existing as an issue. Because he existed the whole time…people just can’t remember it. It doesn’t have to be retroactively deleted because it’s not time travel. His parents/May wouldn’t remember him if they were alive when the spell was cast…but they still birthed/raised him. Peter Parker still exists.

I was watching Animaniacs and tiny toons lately.
I was wondering if they exist in the same universe since the looney tunes characters never appear or referenced. They only connection is Elmira getting a show with Pinky and brain.
Thought it’d be a nice tie in since
The new animaniacs had a skit with the studio being infested by Bunnies and you don’t a Bugs buggy cameo? Tiny toons had an episode about an old Warner bros character who haven’t been seen since the thirties. You’d think they somehow ties those characters to the Warner family.

The Joker in Dark Knight Rises.
Shouldn't have been in per se, but he was certainly on the mind of everyone watching. Not being mentioned or alluded to after what he put the city through was a bit awkward too.

Not being mentioned or alluded to after what he put the city through was a bit awkward too. Just a simple line could have solved this: Gordon: Luckily our face painted menace is tightly looked up in a federal prison in another state and the warden there says he is accounted for. Batman: It’s definitely him, he has not pulled some Killing Joke crap has he? Gordon: Hold on let me call them back…

The Animaniacs wrap party song has the Tiny Toons cast making a cameo, and Elmyra did interact with the Warners (and chases after Mindy) in another episode.

I still have a lot of difficulty watching the Naked Gun movies because of how prominent OJ Simpson is Same, I also have trouble watching movies and shows with Jeffery Jones in them. Ed Wood is one of my favourite films but I can easily skip past his scenes. But in other stuff like Beetlejuice, Ferris Bueller, and Deadwood he is more prominent and is hard to skip past.
