      Continuity in fiction is a funny thing. On the one hand, everything runs on it these days; on the other hand, nobody much seems to really care about it all that much when you get down to it.https://twitter.com/ScottMendelson/status/1158790716262273024 …

      For example the MCU, the most successful "continuity franchise" around, much changes movie to movie. EG in "Iron Man", SHIELD is so obscure that genius defense contractor Tony Stark and his staff haven't heard of it. A few movies later they've long been based in a huge DC tower.

      Or in "Civil War", Black Panther's father dies giving a speech about how Wakanda needs to share their advanced technology everyone knows about. Then in "Black Panther" not even the CIA knows about their advanced technology, which Black Panther's father passionately kept secret...

          ...and in fact Black Panther, at the end of his movie, gives basically the same speech, also to the UN. Because ultimately, they're going to make the movies they want to make, and continuity is a social construct...

          ...but the modern entertainment form is basically "everything is expanded universes and continuity but we're making it up as we go along with 20 different people so please don't think about it too much", which is...sometimes jarring.

          Of course audiences will adapt, I suppose. Comics audiences have long had to deal with this "exactly as much continuity as we feel like right now" approach. But even, I think, the most acclaimed serialized shows, say, will have this if they're...more than four episodes long.

          It only really bothers me when creators/fans/critics are like "this is really a single story, a 10-hour movie, a 40-hour novel" because...is it? It's probably not, not at all really.

          This seems like a bad example, they pretty clearly made the Civil War scenes as vague as possible to avoid having to retcon. Everyone knows vibranium exists since CA: First Avenger, just thought to be rare. The King guy says some generic diplomat boilerplate and gets killed.

          I mean in "Black Panther" he rants at his father's spirit that "you were wrong - all of you were wrong - to turn your backs on the rest of the world!", and in the previous movie his dad's final speech had "we will fight to improve the world we wish to join", so...feels retcon-y.
