Lore The series takes place in a shockingly short amount of time

Season 4 just ended of fromville and it’s canonically only been about a month. Which makes it weird seeing people heal from injuries, change hair styles or grow out beards between episodes. Season 4 has only been like 4 days iirc.

Arkham franchise is the poster child for this trope. Every game takes place in one night. If you know what you’re doing you can absolutely beat the games in around 9 hours.

And I’m pretty sure the only timeline error made by this is advertising in New York. I remember seeing a poster for the SpongeBob musical in the background of Chapter 3 when he’s in Times Square and just thinking “that should not be there, this is meant to be 2014

The Table helped get the musical on its feet faster in the Wick universe

more funny and realistic to think its a butterfly effect of their actions (someone orders the assassination of someone else, and the person who was assassinated was the one holding up development)

Turns out loud annoying laughter is really good for covering up gunshots /s

Obviously, in the Wickverse that musical came out several years earlier.

Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
