A Plot Hole is something fans spend hours coming up with justifications for. Continuity Drift is something fans don't mind, but would probably spend hours whining about if it was introduced in an adaptation. This could be considered Adaptation Decay within the franchise Continuity. May be caused by the fact that Characterization Marches On. Sometimes the only way to keep sane is by treating the events you want to overlook as Broad Strokes. One specific type of this is Earth Drift. Contrast with Retcon. Examples of Continuity Drift include:

This could be considered Adaptation Decay within the franchise Continuity. Fictional worlds get very complicated. You have all kinds of Backstory, the political and social situation of the world, what kind of physics or Techno Babble there is, how magic works, and the overall atmosphere of the place. If you're writing about these, you probably didn't come up with the whole setting before you start writing. And if your work has more than one installment, you almost certainly didn't come up with it all before you started publishing. So things change as you fill in details. What was unique becomes common, what was incredibly powerful becomes insignificant, and what was implied to have a wealth of unexplored detail... doesn't. After the story is fleshed out, exposition given way back in the beginning is off, somehow. Maybe the author thought that was how the world worked, but it didn't really turn out that way.
