* In the aftermath of ''ComicBook/OneMoreDay'', fans wondered how Mephisto rewriting reality to undo Peter Parker and Mary Jane's wedding affected the timeline. Creator/JoeQuesada, upon [[https://www.cbr.com/the-one-more-day-interview-with-joe-quesada-the-fans/ being asked]] why he essentially responded with "It's magic. We don't need to explain it," said that other Marvel characters used magic and no one needed an explanation for those.

* Franchise/TheFlash is hilariously bad with this. He has the Speed Force, an alternate dimension that surrounds the other dimensions and is the location of time and speed; also somehow Barry makes more of it whenever he runs. Basically, the Speed Force is used to explain anything or as a crutch to have writers get themselves out of holes in a way that is plausible enough; [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands including stealing kinetic energy, not having to eat millions of Calories, phasing through objects, and so much more.]] A lot of these are also canon now too. The original purpose of the Speed Force was to create the RequiredSecondaryPowers to explain why the Flash's otherwise human body and those of people he saves can withstand extreme acceleration (as in, ''millions'' of [=Gs=] in many cases, whereas 214 G is the most any human has ever survived in reality), and why he's not destroying the roads every time he runs at such speeds.

In reality, Oscar's mother was meant to be a new character and was rewritten to be Dana when they realized Creator/SigourneyWeaver was willing to reprise the role.
