Jokes that are adult jokes simply because kids likely don't have the life experience to understand them.

The New Batman Adventures - "I'm crazy enough to take on Batman, but the IRS? Noooo, thank you!"

Shrek 2 - Posing as a union representative, Shrek remarks that the workers "don't even have dental".

1 - Mulan (2020): The original movie shows that Mulan doesn't fit within the expectations of either gender role, but she earns respect through hard work and playing to her strengths. The remake has her perfect from the start, with special "Chi" powers. The message shifts from "a man isn't inherently better than a woman," to "a woman can be better... but only if she's born special."

2 - Artemis Fowl (2020): Commander Root is changed to be a woman, giving the film more diversity (and an excuse to cast Judi Dench). However, this undermines Holly's plot, where she experiences increased scrutiny due to being the first female officer.

3 - Netflix's Avatar: Sokka's sexist attitudes are removed, taking out a "problematic" part of his character. The original obviously presented this view as wrong, but used it as the first piece of growth for Sokka. He'd been beaten before, but being taken down by girls hurt his pride. He eventually admits his mistake, and acknowledges Suki is a better warrior. This change also affects Suki's character, as her role is reduced to "awkward love interest" - much weaker than the confident warrior she was in the original.

1) Corlys Velyaron and his family were changed from white in the Fire and Blood book to black in the House of the Dragon adaptation. On the surface a good representation as Corlys is the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms and a powerful but self-made lord. However Corlys’s story involves his daughter-in-law trying to pass off her bastard sons as his heirs, disregarding his daughter and granddaughters as potential heirs, cheating on his wife and putting his bastard sons over his legitimate granddaughters, and losing everything as he tries to climb the social ladder, it has created a lot of unnecessary fandom discourse despite the only change to his character being his skin color.

2)In the new Harry Potter series, Paapa Essiedu has been cast as Severus Snape. This has been a controversial subject as Snape’s storyline centers around his obsessive love for Lily Evans-Potter, still a White Woman, his bullying at the hands of James Potter, still a White Man, and his abusing his position as a teacher to torment young students because of his irrational grudges.

Corollary to this Trope: the Even Worse Fixes

3) Scarlett Johansson’s casting as Major Mokoto Kusunagai in the 2017 Ghost in the Shell movie was already controversial choice considering the character was explicitly Japanese. However in the movie it’s revealed the Johansson’s character was originally a Japanese woman who chose to upload her mind into a cyborg body that looks like a White Woman.

4) In Stark Trek: Into Darkness, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Character John Harrison was revealed to actually be classic Star Trek Villain, Khan Noonien Singh, an Augmented Human designed to be genetically superior to baseline humans. This was explicitly done to avoid the Brown=Terrorist Trope but was absolutely derailed as unnecessary considering Khan’s storyline involved him being forced into terrorism because a white man holding his family hostage. Further more, the choice to have Khan be a man of color was explicit on Gene Roddenberry’s part as the Original Star Trek premiered less than twenty years after the end of the Nazi Regime and as America was in the throes of the Civil Rights movement.

Into Darkness’s casting choice was made worst in the Tie-In Comics, when it was revealed that Khan is still a man of color. He was just forced to undergo advanced plastic surgery to make him look like a white man.

I'm talking about fans gassing up their favorite series by imagining a trope that's barely used at all in fiction, pretend that it's popular, and then act like their series is the first to subvert this oh so mainstream trope. It pisses me off so much. Just say your series is good and talk about its actual good points, you don't have to make shit up.

1. Elder Scrolls: Fans like to think wood elves being hippies vegans are popular depiction despite most of fictional elves are hunters with bows. Why would they hunt if they don't eat meat? And 80% of elves in fictions are Nazi allegory so I don't know where this peaceful elf thing comes from
2. Frieren: Point me to a series where demons are a race of morally good people, please. The best you could do is stories where a select few demons are trying to redeem themselves from the evil society they grew up in, which just means demons are evil most of the time. Idk why Frieren fans their demons are subverting expectations
3. Jujutsu Kaisen: Ganging up and jumping your enemies are in fact not subversive in a battle shounen. One of the most popular shounen ever, Naruto, has heros jumping the antagonist all the time. Not to mention shounen like Attack on Titan, Dragon Ball, Hunter x Hunter, you name it, all place importance in taking enemies by surprise.

Edit: I see a lot of people mistake this at me hating on the series itself. No, I'm just hating on the fans. Not the series' fault that fans are overzealous

Naomi Misora (Death Note): Former FBI agent investigating the death of her fiancé. She is the first to correctly deduce that Kira is able to control his victims. But she just so happens to meet Light at the wrong time and is killed despite being completely and utterly innocent. She was not his first innocent victim, but she serves as the first character whose death comes with the gravity of the situation reflected in their scene. It highlights the evil of Light Yagami very well.

Drew Sharp (Breaking Bad): Teenager on a dirt bike who happens to witness Walt's crew return from the Heist. Despite the child not having understood anything, he is shot and killed immediately. To the average viewer, just the heist and everything prior would be enough to deduce the wrongs of the crew but this death really bashes the point in your head that Walt's rise inevitably kills innocents.

Batman: The Animated Series. Mr. Freeze was originally a two-bit nobody thug who used his cryogenics technology to rob banks. BTAS gave us Nora, and it was so impactful that this has become the definitive version of his character ever since. Mr. Freeze became so popular that he played a central role in two movies after this, and one of them was actually good!

Superman Vs The Elite. The Elite in the original comic, "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?" were flat stereotypes who were blatantly in the wrong. The movie (which was written by Joe Kelly, the same man who wrote the original comic) did a lot to flesh them out, giving them more heroic moments and having them fight side-by-side with Superman for a bit. That made them far more understandable and gave the movie's central conflict some much-needed nuance.

Harry Potter. Severus Snape in the books is a mean, cruel bully with next to zero redeeming qualities. He's also like that in the movies, but Alan Rickman's performance gave him a good amount of charisma on top of the douchebaggery. There are also a few added scenes showing him protecting the heroes.

How To Train Your Dragon. Not the live action, but from the book to the original movie. Yes, there was a book. Vikings had been training dragons for generations, Hiccup could speak Dragontongue, Toothless was one of those small, green dragons, and there was a prophecy about the death of the Green Death (the giant dragon from movie 1). The whole movie was an In Name Only adaptation.

The Iron Giant. Much like the previous example, this movie was based on a book you've probably never heard of. Hogarth (the kid) is an unimportant bit character in the original book, while the movie promotes him to co-protagonist. The book also ends with a fight against a giant space dragon. Yeah, cutting that was probably also a change for the better.

Role Models -

Middle aged white guy is at a coffee shop with his girlfriend when he gets into an argument with the barista over drink sizes. He mocks the chain for using "venti" instead of "large," pointing out that "venti" means twenty in Italian while "grande" is Spanish for large. He tells the barista she is "stupid in three languages."

Loudermilk -

Middle aged white guy approaches a coffee shop counter to order. The young barista speaks with a noticeable vocal fry, which the man immediately comments on and mocks. When she says she cannot help the way she speaks, he tells her it is an affectation used by young people and accuses her of being pretentious despite working a service job.

Bad Thoughts -

Middle aged white guy with specific coffee request emphasises how the woman working at the counter needs to be very thorough with making sure the order is registered and made correctly. The barista screws up the coffee much to the dismay of the MAWG who then assaults the barista.

This is such a tired, uninspired punching-down fantasy and intellectually bankrupt joke that middle aged white male comedians just love for some reason.

Jafar (Aladdin) wished to become a genie. He got just that, but regretted it as soon as he saw that it also meant he would be forever trapped inside the lamp of one

Po handed his chi to Kai (Kung Fu Panda 3) on a silver platter. The latter realized too late that the former possessed far too much chi for him to contain, causing him to literally explode.

Meliodas and Elizabeth (The Seven Deadly Sins): Their relationship was creepy enough, with Meliodas' constant sexual harassment and Elizabeth's submissiveness to it, and no, her being the reincarnation of his dead girlfriend doesn't make it less creepy. It gets worse when we learn that Meliodas knew her since she was a baby.

Jacob and Reneesmee (Twilight): Jacob couldn't get with Bella, so he had to settle for her vampire baby. People defend that imprinting doesn't necessarily mean grooming, but it's still an option for them. Not beating the allegations was when Jacob was excited to learn that Reneesmee will physically be his age in a few days and will stop aging after that.

Sesshomaru and Rin (YashaHime): Their relationship was supposed to be paternal in the original, but Boruto: The InuYasha Edition decided that protagonists needed to be Sesshomaru's kids, and Rin was the only member of the opposite sex he spoke to out of filler episodes.

Hulk (Old Man Logan): This version of Hulk is just an incestuous cannibal who likes to kill people for some reason

Quicksilver and Scarlett Witch (Ultimate Universe): Yet again another incestuous people and worst part is when Captain America points this out he is seen like this old prejudice man

Batman (All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder): This version is almost comical by how edgy it tries to be like there is this one time when he started making out with Black Canary after literally brutally beating a guy
