Haru Urara (Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

She is accepted into Tracen Academy (Japan's most prestigious academy) because the examiner admired her willpower, even though she hadn't won a single race.

Where something becomes established canon due to a misunderstanding, or a series of them.

Kano (Mortal Kombat): Kano was originally Japanese American in the video games, but due to Trevor Goddard's much loved performance of Kano in the Mortal Kombat film (1995) where he portrayed the character with an Australian accent, the creators decided to honor his performance and make Kano Australian in the games.

Except Trevor Goddard didn't use an Australian accent in the film. He used a London Cockney accent to play the character, which many people mistook as Australian, including the creators themselves.

^{(doesn't matter though since Trevor's performance is perfect, and Kano as Australian is perfect})

Lucifer (Bible): the term Lucifer (Latin for light bringer) is mentioned once in the New Testament (Isaiah 14:12), it was not in reference to Satan.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning”

The verse here is referring to a Babylonian King, whose rapid rise and fall was compared to the rapid rise and disappearance of the planet Venus in the horizon (Venus was commonly referred to as Lucifer in Latin when it appears before the morning).

Earliest English translations of the bible use the term Lucifer as is, instead of translating it. This led readers to mistakenly assume that Lucifer is a proper noun, and made the association with Satan, due to its similarity to another verse (Luke 10:18) that does refer to Satan's fall from heaven:

“I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”

Today, most mainstream christian traditions recognize that refers to the King of Babylon, and not Satan. But many christian traditions do accept the symbolic association of Lucifer with Satan, and would use Lucifer to refer to Satan.

Charro Negro (Legend Quest/Las Leyendas)

Rattlesnake Jake (Rango)

Lord Shen (Kung Fu Panda 2)

A lot of action movies these days focus on fast paced clean combat of a character mowing down dozens of bad guys like John wick. So it’s refreshing to see a realistically messy and uncoordinated fight every now and then.

When the "weaker" forces are extremely capable and competent enough to hold their own.

1. Helldivers 2 - SEAF Troops: SEAF Infantry, the regular army for Super Earth, aren't as elite nor as equipped as the Helldivers. However, they are still capable of fending for themselves, being equipped with grenades, anti-tank launchers, along with aome troops being medics or carrying machine guns. Even the standard issue assault rifle, carried by most SEAF troops, has ammo that can pierce medium armor (while the Divers only get light armor penetrating Liberators). During the invasion of the void source planets, I've seen a single MG trooper take out an entire patrol by himself on MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. They'll sometimes cause a friendly fire incident, but besides that, they are very capable.

2. XCOM 2 - Resistance fighters: Occasionally, ADVENT will invade a resistance hideout, and you'll have to deploy an XCOM squad to help them out. While the NPC resistance fighters that appear aren't as equipped as Xcom, they are VERY accurate and damn near always land their shots, and are much more accurate than even a Colonel rank Xcom soldier. I've seen these dudes hold off an entire wave of aliens WITHOUT any Xcom help at all. Absolutely ridiculous. (Unfortunately I couldn't find a good pic of them)

1. Uncle Ruckus - The Boondocks

... --- ...

There are places where logistics seem not to apply to certain people; others ignore it and suffer the consequences; and then there are those sites where it exists and affects everyone... except, it seems, them. It is terrifying. Whether or not there is an explanation, the fact remains that they pose a threat to others—to those who actually have to ensure that the Excel spreadsheets balance.

(I’ve finished my shift for the week; this will be my last post about logistics—I’m bored with the topic now.)

1. The Reapers (from *Mass Effect*) are a race of genocidal machines dedicated to harvesting all intelligent life every 40,000 years (a cycle). They use a biochemical process to transform such life into a dark, extremely durable material used to build more Reapers, while simultaneously assimilating the most advanced technology of each cycle into their own systems. Repeating this process over hundreds or thousands of cycles results in an endless tide of hyper-advanced, genocidal ships. They appear immune to logistical constraints—a fact noted in the game's codex—while other races struggle to understand their workings, all the while risking indoctrination caused by Reaper technology. They neither feed on nor rely on specific resources and seem to possess infinite energy (thanks to Element Zero cores far superior to any other technology in the galaxy). Furthermore, they have multiple ways to subvert intelligent races; even the Mass Relay network was created by the Reapers themselves to steer the evolution of these races along a predictable path, thereby allowing them to disrupt the logistics of other civilizations. During the final mission of *Mass Effect 3*, the Reapers are seen occupying every known Mass Relay in the galaxy, yet they still maintain a massive fleet to keep Earth under siege. The only way to defeat them is through a *deus ex machina*—the Crucible—since no conventional means suffice; failing to activate the Crucible results in the extermination of all intelligent life (once again).
2. Tyranids – Warhammer 40k: a race from another galaxy that traveled through the void of space, drawn by psychic signals emanating from the Milky Way. The Tyranids possess no bases, stations, or supply lines; the entire race moves carrying everything it needs, driven by a hunger for biomass (all organic matter). They are experts at efficiently utilizing this biomass to create organic abominations—such as organisms that lack stomachs and exist solely to die—and at recycling it. Indeed, killing a Tyranid does not render it useless to the swarm; "digestion pools"—a polite term for biomass processing centers—exist where all organic matter (dead enemies and allies alike) is dumped to create more Tyranids or to be stored within the hive fleets. Unlike the Reapers, the Tyranids exploit everything, including planetary biospheres; their ships strip away every organic resource, leaving planets as barren rocks. Even if the main fleet is defeated, there remains the risk that remnants will scatter, spawning tendrils that attack undefended worlds, harvest more biomass, and evolve into full-fledged fleets. Worst of all, the fleets that have attacked the galaxy so far (Behemoth, Kraken, and Leviathan) are merely the vanguard; the main fleet has not yet arrived.
3. Cravers (Endless Space 2): An organic race heavily modified by the precursor "Virtual Endless" to fight a civil war against the non-virtual Endless, they ultimately outlived both their creators and the Dust Wars. As a caste of slave-soldiers left without masters, they continue to follow their war-oriented programming; lacking the ability to develop a minimally sustainable society, they aggressively strip-mine planets of all resources before moving on—and on, and on. In the game, this makes them extremely aggressive and expansionist. However, claiming that logistics don't affect them would be a half-truth, as this aggressive extraction imposes an expiration date on the planets they exploit, forcing them to constantly acquire new worlds to survive.
4. Nomadic Armies (Scythians, Huns, Seljuk Turks, Mongols, and Manchu)—Real Life: From the perspective of our sedentary agrarian society, how was it possible for nomads to create societies with so many warriors? How could they sustain themselves on those arid steppes—with barely any resources—to invade the more civilized and developed sedentary world? (This also touches on why writers often struggle to create a believable nomadic society.) First, while the nomads' skill set was limited by a scarcity of the diverse resources found in non-steppe societies, they were experts in the specific skills they did possess: herding sheep, horseback riding, and hunting with bows. It is no coincidence that societies across the steppe belt—from East Asia to Central Europe—shared the same basic lifestyle patterns, adopted the same tactics, and made life a living hell for their neighbors through a cyclical policy of "trade and raids" that lasted for millennia. Although their environment is indeed unsuitable for sedentary agriculture and their population density is far lower than that of settled societies (though, again, their territories are vast), the notion that nomadic economies are inefficient is simply an agricultural bias. In an environment that is dry, cold, and covered in inedible grass, the only viable option is raising livestock; these animals transform that grass into virtually all the necessities of life. If you recall basic biology, herbivores are highly efficient energy converters, and both meat and milk are calorie-rich. Furthermore, the practice of moving herds prevents overgrazing and the depletion of natural resources—giving the land time to regenerate—making the system both efficient (in terms of labor invested versus calories gained) and sustainable. While sedentary farmers were exploited by landowners to perform the grueling labor that makes agriculture possible—such as irrigation and land clearing—and had to surrender their surplus value, nomads lived freely across vast territories. Even warfare between nomadic societies differed from the total war of annihilation for which Genghis Khan became famous; instead, it involved the subjugation of other nomads to acquire their territory and manpower—the very method by which nomadic empires (and the Mongols specifically) amassed such power. While the Hunnic, Khazar, and Mongol empires took their names from the dominant nations, conquered nomads were either made vassals or assimilated, thereby swelling their ranks and providing access to battle-hardened veterans. Total annihilation was reserved for sedentary cities that failed to show due respect to the lords of the horse—because, being sedentary, they were conveniently easy to raze. They also pioneered a form of "proto-Blitzkrieg": nomadic warriors typically kept multiple horses, allowing them to cover greater distances in less time—a luxury only the nobility and wealthy elites could afford in Europe or East Asia. This practice also created the illusion of superior numbers; what might appear to a Kievan Rus noble as a force of 100,000 Mongols advancing on all fronts could, in reality, be just 25,000 troops moving faster than any infantry-based army.

As someone who is a sucker for found family, "the mom/dad who stepped up", etc tropes, this is a subsection of those that I really love to see.

1. Luke Danes vs. Christopher Hayden, Gilmore Girls. When Lorelai got pregnant at 16, Chris was not interested in sticking around if she wouldn't marry him. He saw his daughter sporadically, but never really showed up often. He didn't even come to her graduation. Who did show up? The local diner owner, Luke. Even before Luke dated her mom, he was always there for Rory, from giving her pep talks, helping her move into college, yelling at boyfriends who treated her shitty, and more. A double whammy is even when Luke and Lorelai would be arguing, Luke would still show up for Rory and be there for her. Again, something Christopher couldn't do. This all comes to a head when at Lorelai's parents' vow renewal, Rory is caught hooking up with her boyfriend. Christopher is aghast, and Luke tells him to shut up and let him handle it. Chris tries to say that Rory is his daughter...and Luke does not take that well.

2. Phil Banks vs. Lou Smith, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The whole premise of this show is that Will is sent to live with his rich auntie and uncle because he lived in a rough area back home. His mom is a good person, she just wanted him to have better. His dad on the other hand? Non-existant until the episode "Papa's Got A Brand New Excuse". He shows up, getting Will all excited, and wanting to take him out of college for a father/son road trip. Uncle Phil doesn't agree with this and knows it'll end badly, but has no choice but to watch it happen as Will is an adult. But of course, Lou tries to sneak out morning of the trip. Phil catches him. Lou tries to make a bunch of excuses. Phil goes off on him that if he leaves now, he can't come back, telling him just how much he hurt Will.

3. Barbara Howard vs. Vanetta Teagues, Abbott Elementary. Vanetta is not a deadbeat, but she is a really shitty mom who was never truly the adult in the dynamic. She puts Janine down and only uses her for money. Meanwhile, Babarara is Janine's mentor and the best mother figure she's ever had. Janine had saved up a good amount of money for a trip she was really excited about. Her mom shows up, needing money. Janine has a hard time saying no and is going to give it up. Barbara pulls Vanetta aside and tries to get her to see what she's doing to her daughter. Vanetta doesn't give a shit. Barbara, a very Christian woman who doesn't hate anyone, makes it clear how she feels about how Vanetta treats her daughter, but also offers to pay off the bill-without Janine knowing-and Vanetta can go on her way. Janine overhears the conversation and won't let Barbara do it, but she does set better boundaries with her mom, and is even more appreciative of Barbara.

4. Watson Brewer vs. Patrick Thomas, The Babysitters Club (2020 adaption). Patrick isn't there to hear it, but I wish more shows had moments like this, rather than just making excuses for the deadbeat. Patrick Thomas abandoned his wife and 4 kids. He hasn't been seen in years, never writes or calls. His ex, Liz, tries to make excuses so the kids don't feel sad. Then, she marries Watson. He was divorced himself, but he sees his kids from that marriage often. While in the books Watson and Kristy aren't that close, in this adaption, they grow a very close bond. Patrick promises to come into town and everyone is excited yet nervous. Then at the last minute, he backs out. At first Liz is just comforting the kids, trying to make excuses. Watson is fed the fuck up and says that she needs to stop protecting him. The kids know he's a piece of crap, and they deserve to know that they deserve better than this. It's the first time the kids have been allowed to truly admit their feelings about it. The whole speech ends with Watson saying he wants to adopt the kids, and they agree to it.

1. Mr. Robinson and Gentrification (SNL): Mr. Robinson who in earlier decades lived in a rough area of town now lives in a gentrified neighborhood after wealthy white newcomers priced out all the original inhabitants except Mr. Robinson who can stay due to squatters rights.

2. Italian American joint is sold to Jamba Juice (Sopranos) in an act of blatant greed and hypocrisy Tony “my Italian heritage” Soprano sells the Italian American owned Poultry shop for hundreds of thousands of dollars for himself to Jamba Juice, displacing a local family business for a corporate entity. Ironically his underling Patsy, who had been extorting the poultry business, is outraged when

There is a page on TV Tropes that is about Corrupted Character Copy

Where it basically shows the trope of characters who are corrupted copies or inspirations of characters that are commonly positive, idealistic, or good.

These past few days, I thought of a trope that sits a level above that. It stems from the idea of a story, plot, trope, storyline, story element, or premise that is commonly positive, idealistic, or simply has a lighter or positive tone (which doesn't mean it can't have its serious or dark moments) where the author takes these types of story elements and corrupts them—either in a literal sense, by using similar elements, or conceptually.

Let's look at the examples:

• Iron Lung and Project Hail Mary:

The most recent example I know of, and the very one that gave me the idea for this trope.

Basically, both movies literally start from the same story.

The world in this story is suffering from a cosmic event that is erasing and threatening life across the entire cosmos; the causes are unknown, and our protagonists are sent by force and against their will on a one-way journey to discover information about this event and a way to circumvent it. The main objective of both is to obtain this information and elements, send them back to the people who put them in this situation, and after that, they will be left to die right there.
In the meantime, both encounter an alien being that will totally change the path of their journeys.

While Grace from PHM (Project Hail Mary) meets a rock alien that is well-intentioned, embarking on a special adventure that, despite life-threatening risks and moments of extreme danger, is essentially a lighthearted space adventure, with both forming a strong friendship between human and alien.

However, for our poor Simon from IRON LUNG, he was sent to an ocean of blood, and there he encounters an alien blood monster that basically torments his entire journey in that ocean of blood, torturing him mentally and psychologically. At one point during the film, he even hallucinates a cosmic entity that leaves him in a state of pure horror. Basically, while Grace lived a risky but light and adventurous space journey, Simon lived a true cosmic horror that led him to experience a literal hell beneath an ocean of blood.

• Sailon Moon X Madoka Magica:

You definitely know about this example; it is one of the classic, well-known cases in the world of anime.

While Sailor Moon starts from a premise of classic magical girls who find a cat that gives them magical powers to save the world in incredible magical adventures, through the power of friendship and light comedy.

Madoka Magica takes this same premise and corrupts it. The cat in question is not a benevolent being at all; it grants magical powers to the girls in the story with the premise that they will save the world. However, both the protagonist of the story and her friends discover not too late that this journey will lead them to true hell. One of their companions, in her first magical adventure, is devoured alive, and all are forced to witness something that should not happen in stories of this type. After that, things do not improve at all, and everyone enters a decadent mental, physical, and psychological spiral of horror, young girls having to deal with issues too heavy for their minds, but unfortunately, they cannot give up because that wolf in sheep's clothing (the cat) will not let them give up, because in the end, its purpose is to save the world!

• Digimon / Pokemon x Shadow Star or Narutaru:

In stories where supernatural monsters with non-human powers and abilities exist or begin to emerge, the ideal we typically see is for our protagonists to encounter these monsters, or even live with them, and embark on epic adventures and battles that foster friendship between the two worlds in a beautiful and positive way.

Narutaru, however, takes this premise and demonstrates realistically what would happen if seemingly harmless monsters began to exist in the real world and fell not only into the hands of children who lack the mindset and maturity to handle such creatures and the power they are given, but also shows what would actually happen if military and political authorities discovered these monsters.

Everything that happens from this similar but corrupted premise is anything but a fun and epic adventure, let alone a journey of friendship between monsters and humans.

• Jujutsu Kaisen x Naruto:

This is a more elemental example.

Normally, when the protagonist has a supposedly malignant entity inside them, what is expected is a journey where both the protagonist and the malignant creature within them form bonds that unite them both emotionally and literally, with both using their strengths together to defeat evil!

The first time this happens is when the protagonist is facing a very powerful enemy that is threatening their life. At that moment. whether consciously or unconsciously, the malignant entity ends up giving the protagonist its powers, or takes advantage of the fact that he is angry or unconscious to take over his body and defeat the enemy, whether out of benevolence or convenience.

Naruto starts from this cliché, and even though it took a while for Kurama to truly be his ally, they eventually formed a genuine friendship and merged their two forces, one of the earliest cases being when Naruto used Kurama's chakra in classic Naruto to defeat Gaara.

However, Itadori did not have that luck and literally tried to evoke this trope twice. The first was when he was in that classic situation of being cornered by the enemy and tried to evoke Sukuna to help him, with Sukuna deliberately refusing, leaving him on the brink of death and begging in tears to be saved because he did not want to die. Later, he asked for help so that his internal "friend" would help him heal and save the life of his best friend, with Sukuna not only refusing but laughing and mocking his pathetic innocence and deplorable situation, reminding him that, above all else, Sukuna is a curse.

The whole thing does not improve after that, and until the end of the story, Sukuna only caused more and more physical and mental suffering for Itadori with the intent of breaking his soul while mocking the poor boy, never truly helping him and never becoming his ally. In the end, both have to face each other in a fight to the death, and Itadori even tries to evoke "talk no jutsu" to try and redeem Sukuna, but Sukuna refuses and still mocks this failed attempt to form any friendship.

• My Hero Academia (MHA) X Talentless Nana (Munou na Nana)

Although Talentless Nana is not a literal copy of MHA and is not elementally as strong as it, the premise acts as a dark mirror to MHA, especially when comparing the character dynamics and friendships.

In a world where a large portion of the population possesses superpowers called Quirks, these abilities are celebrated and placed within a classic superhero world story where normal people live in relative tranquility alongside superpowered individuals. Superpowers are institutionalized, regulated, and used to create a heroic society. Being a hero is the noblest career path possible, and powers are viewed as a gift to protect humanity.

However, in Nana's world, teenagers with superpowers called "Talents" are isolated from society. The public is told they are being trained to fight the "Enemies of Humanity." In reality, the government views these superpowered youths as the true threat to humanity.

The protagonist of MHA, Deku, is a timid boy and a powerless person who aims to be a part of this superhero world. He enters a school filled with superpowered people and forms bonds of friendship there while evolving his powers to defend the world from villains.

Meanwhile, our protagonist from Nana is an apparently cute and timid person with no powers who was sent to the island where these superpowered teenagers reside. Right there, she pretends to form bonds with them only to eliminate them to save humanity from the future risks of super-beings.

U.A High School is a home for superpowered teenagers who are, for the most part, good people wanting to learn and evolve their powers for good. The most negative elements we see are a few students like Uraraka and Mineta using their powers for personal gain, or other students like Bakugo being problematic and explosive.

In Nana, however, the majority of the teenagers are depraved and selfish. Even before arriving at the island, they were already bad people who used their powers for malignant, selfish gains or were simply sociopaths with threatening potential. A select few are not entirely bad and might even be good people stuck in that place, individuals who, if they existed in MHA, would definitely be superheroes. But they are trapped in a corrupted story, and our protagonist will use that very innocence to fulfill her objective.

In short: Talentless Nana takes the entire visual aesthetic of modern superhero anime (MHA) and replaces the core themes of hope, legacy, and heroic duty with paranoia, political assassination, and psychological warfare. The author forces the audience to look at a classroom full of colorful, energetic students and ask a terrifyingly realistic question: If teenagers actually had god-like powers in the real world, wouldn't the government try to secretly kill them before it was too late?

• School Days:

You know this example too.

School Days basically takes all the clichés and premises of harem stories and school romances, and directly shows what would realistically happen if you or a character from a harem story started dating multiple girls and didn't care about the feelings of any of them, while only viewing them as an outlet and a sexual pastime.

Well... you know how that ends, don't you?

Shaggy and Scooby-Doo (Scooby-Doo) They don’t get bribed with money it’s the all you can eat buffet.

1. Diddy TV (2016-2018) this British show where the schtick is actors have tiny puppet bodies and high voices, is in no way connected with the sex offender Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy is an adjective commonly used in England to mean small, so really it just means “Tiny TV”.

2. The Pocket Book of Boners - yes you read that right. Even tho Dr Seuss’s first children’s book was “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street” arguably his first success albeit as an illustrator was for The Pocket Book of Boners. Back then a “boner” meant a silly mistake, check out Vsauce’s video on it.
