I removed the “Scrapheap Hero” example. The trope definition says, “Sometimes when a hero has a Heroic B So D the retirement is longer than ten minutes… Whatever the reason for it, the hero has been at best forgotten and is perhaps even actively despised or ridiculed, a has-been or even worse a never-was.” The example relates to Aeryn being unhappy about retiring on earth as a housewife (with a quote that’s specific to John’s vision of Aeryn, rather than Aeryn herself). The example doesn’t relate to Aeryn being a has-been. It also doesn’t show anything about Aeryn being forgotten or actively despised or ridiculed. The focus in on her being potentially unhappy if she chose to voluntarily live on earth where she wouldn’t get a chance to do some of the things that are important to her. Aside from the retired hero part, this example doesn’t seem to align with the trope definition (in particular, it’s missing the “scrap heap” part). So it’s not clear to me that the example relates to the trope.
