#but actually that has implications. the ideal understanding hero doesn't exist in isolation

When series begin to question their initial premise and in doing so pull the rug from underneath the audience's feet. Like, walking up a hill and sitting on a bench only to find out I actually just sat down on a roller coaster
#mob psycho 100
#kaguya-sama
#steven universe future
#(these are the three that come to mind for me. probably in this order in terms of execution from best to worst too)
#I feel like these all pull it off by playing into genre conventions tbh. The audience *could* question mob's explosions or reigen using mob
#but for the most part it just trundles along and basically functions as a mechanic for the setting? Until you find out it's not
#with kaguya-sama it tends to use its comedic side to set the scene. The entire idea of them confessing to each other is a competition
#until it's not
#but kaguya-sama actually does this multiple times where something is a gag until you look closer and it's actually not
#su: f is doing this to the entire og series by looking at how a chara like steven fits in the genre
#but actually that has implications. the ideal understanding hero doesn't exist in isolation
#ugh anyway there's probably some trope name for this but idk exactly what it is
#mp100
#su
#suf
#(edit: also I realise this makes it sound like reigen taking advantage of mob is entirely ignored which isn't quite the case
#because separation arc. but it's not actually concluded there even tho it seems that way)
#idk if utena would count with the entire idea of a prince not existing but I feel like it's upfront enough from the start
#about deconstructing that idea that it doesn't feel like it quite fits in that category with the rest)
