The explanation makes the scene look less sane then the original.

Comedy disappear from the setting due to everyone is afraid of laughing. The audience abandon the work because a big draw of the work is the comedic aspect.

It's Cast from Lifespan and occasionally induces Standard Status Effects, both of which are outside the user's control.

That "asshole" actually was an Insufferable Genius that was a key player in saving the world, and he would have gladly played that role for us (even if it gave him another avenue to brag). Whoever murdered him, Nice Job Breaking It, Hero.

A guy wants to experience human life uninterrupted, however, when his wife grows old, he can't be with her because he can't grow old together, this leads to his self loathing nature due to being unable to age and grow old with the people around him.

As it turns out, controversial publicity stunts can and will damage your reputation, and therefore your career takes a nosedive.

If the paradox truly broke reality, then only lies and illusions would truly exist. However, having illusions and lies as universal truths is a paradox in its own right; so a second Big Bang immediately takes effect to rewrite reality as truth again. This new universe also invokes Reality Ensues by actively preventing any looping effects that threaten its existence.

Said teammate is actually polite and pleasant company. The other party members are "concerned" about his Disproportionate Retribution against their enemies, yet they feel guilty about questioning his methods due to how effective they are. Thus, the story slowly transcends into Black-and-Gray Morality.

Their ideologies and methods are so diametrically opposed to each other, they're easier to defeat when they are together.

The fact that the hero's actual appearance is so separate from the public perception of what it is means that when there actually is danger, civilians are unwilling to accept the hero's help, thinking its just a scammer in a shitty costume.

and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised.
