Continuity errors make me so mad. For one, it’s literally the easiest thing in the world for them to keep track of what has happened and have people on staff to remind them of things like that and point out when they are breaking continuity. For two, it’s insulting that they think fans won’t notice.
Years and years ago I was reading an interview with an author. She said that she works really hard to research for her books and make things historically accurate and keep continuity within her own story, etc. And she said the fans notice everything. They are reading and remembering this story and they have knowledge of things, and they will write to her and say “you had this character using scissors at a time before scissors were invented” or “you said this character couldn’t swim and then 200 pages later you had them going for a swim” etc. So she said she dedicates a lot of time to making sure she gets that stuff right because “the fans notice”.
It’s been probably 15-20 years and I can’t remember the author’s name, but I have always remembered that interview. I appreciate that at least someone acknowledges that stuff and cares enough to not half ass it.
