| Topic | So in the current Simpsons continuity, did Homer go to HS in the 2000s or what? |

With DC, they at least have the excuse (even if it's a terrible excuse) that they keep rebooting the universe over and over, so the Superman who revealed himself to the world in the 1930s isn't the same one who didn't show up until the 60s, who is also different from the one in the 1980s, who is different from the one who showed up in 2011. Marvel's sliding timeline is a lot worse, because they're all the exact same characters they were in 1960s. So when they retcon The Punisher's backstory from being a Vietnam vet to having fought in Iraq, or when you realize that it used to be part of Reed Richard's backstory that he fought in WWII (which would make him 90+ years old now), there's no real legitimate metaphysical reason for the change (though some people actually have hypothesized that Franklin Richards somehow warps time and reality subconsciously, which is also why he's currently around 8 years old in spite of having been born in 1968). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
