  I think this is true I also just think this has become an obnoxious thing to talk about cause edgelord reviews like Mauler focus solely on it to argue it's an objective criteria and more important than anything else, while simultaneously often misunderstanding events that make continuity correct. 
  But yeah, I do find myself really frustrates by continuity lapses. Specifically if the show references past events to build to other stuff. >
  
  Film continuity has nothing to do with writing >
  
  What do you mean? >
  
  Continuity in film is in the hands of directors, production designers, AD’s.  Some filmmakers even have a specific continuity specialist to make sure scenes and shots stay consistent. >
  
  All productions except maybe student films and low budget indies have a Script Supervisor who's literal job is continuity. Tier 1 rate is $40/hour here plus everytime they add an additional camera they get an additional few bucks an hour.
  Production designer is almost never on set during filming but I would say that Art Directors and Set Dressers are doing most of the continuity supervision (grunt work) during prep.
  But yes it has absolutely nothing to do with writing.

  Depends on how serious of a tone the movie or franchise is. >
  
  Yes, continuity is important. It is especially important for movies and tv shows that rely mainly on plot for entertainment. That, however, is not every show/movie. Who cares if there is a plot hole or discontinuity in a sitcom or comedy movie? Same with a romance movie or horror movie. Also minor discontinuities that are hard to spot are going to happen in every movie/show. Nobody’s perfect and it is better to focus on making the show generally good than spending hours combing through footage to eliminate all little discontinuities and plot holes. >
  
  For movies and some TV, I agree, but for sitcoms it’s not really a big deal. Before streaming, continuity didn’t matter because episodes only aired once, but now with binging and streaming, errors in continuity are noticed >
  
  Do you have examples?
