One of the worst examples is with The Adult Legion story in Legion of Super-Heroes. The story is set about 20 years in the future and shows the futures of members of The Legion of Super-Heroes. We saw who would live, who would marry who, who would leave the team, and who would die (including one member who hadn't joined yet). For 16 years the Legion's Creative Teams were stuck with that story, and one member (Chemical King) was killed off specifically because that story showed he was fated to die (plus his powers were difficult to understand [he can control chemical reactions]).

Finally, in 1983 they did a story where they revealed that the future we saw in The Adult Legion story was just one possible future. In the issue they showed other possible futures (including one where the Legion kept its rule against marriage which resulted in the death of the team when the more level-headed members had to leave the team).

This is where a Multiverse is handy: It can be used to deal with the inconsistencies that happen over time. In Star Trek you have the Prime Universe and the Mirror Universe. Both exist without any significant issues.
I didn't watched many, but I recall and I'd liked that in "Sony's Spider-Man" or in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" the actor (Tom Holland if I recall it correclty, on the firsts episodes) was looking on a different manner. On the movie from Sony it seemed kinda humbleness imho.

Btw, since its first release, on "Star Wars", the scene from the bar with Han changed several times, into the original film Han shooted first .
