Harsher In Hindsight example falls afoul of the COVID-19 guidelines (basically, wait for there to be a proper end to the pandemic). Removing Word Cruft.


* HarsherInHindsight: Try watching season 1 episode 8 that's dealing with the flu on [=YouTube=] during the ongoing UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic (that's worse than the flu that appears in that episode), or season 10 episode 20 where [[spoiler:Kalo's friend Aci get vaccinated by doctors once he's on Planet Xing due to a galactic virus]].
* HilariousInHindsight: In episode 4, Careless S. gets his weapon working properly for once and jokes that he should call himself "Careful S." from now on. Fast forward to the Season 1 finale, a fifth Superman who actually is named Careful S. joins the team. (Although, Careful S. makes an EarlyBirdCameo in the Season 1 intro, so this could be a case of {{foreshadowing}}.)

** Kalo also gets quite a bit of love from fans. Perhaps unsurprising considering he's Careful S.'s ally. The producers eventually capitalized on the popularity of both characters by giving them a mini-season of their own, ''Happy Heroes and the City of Mystery'', with the other Supermen relegated to minor roles.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: ''Happy Heroes'' is undeniably a children's show, but it contains some surprisingly dark scenes and pieces of lore, such as the entire story about Doctor H. missing his DisappearedDad, the episode in Season 7 where [[spoiler:a certain character sacrifices themselves]], and another episode in Season 14 where [[spoiler:the Dark Demon stabs Happy S. and turns him into his Jixie Stone form]].

* ValuesDissonance: In episode 15, to obtain the stray cat from Smart S., Big M. fakes being DrivenToSuicide over not having "his" cat back. And, given the nature of this show, it's presumably PlayedForLaughs. Suicide jokes rarely show up in American children's shows for several reasons, not the least of which is that it's ''not'' seen as a good thing to joke about in general.

* ValuesDissonance: ValuesDissonance:
** In the US, the show has been marketed at preschoolers on the Miao Mi app, but it hasn't been very successful. There might be values dissonance about how much slapstick, comic violence and ToiletHumor (Mainly in season 8 episode 11, where Big M. is attempting this with Huo Haha's floating spell logic and... farting) is acceptable for preschoolers.
