10/10, easily. it's really cool to see things just become better and better. just compare Sonic 1 to Sonic 2, for example.

9/10. Can potentially overshadow the rest of the work, but they have to be good to be that memorable.

4/10. Not my thing, and I don't have much sympathy for people who choose to take them on.

Hilarious in Hindsight

3/10. Some really are funny or uncanny, but most examples are just groan-worthy reaches or weird shoehorns.

Alternate Aesop Interpretation

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

8/10

If the work has a moral it tries to teach, but the audience reads another moral, that can get confusing. That said, it can be good if the intended moral would have been wrong and/or cynical while the made-up moral is more realistic and/or idealistic.

8/10. It's nice to see a minor character become popular, especially if it gives them a bigger role later in the story.

3/10 - It just makes the other characters look like idiots for trusting them.

Heartwarming in Hindsight

Seven colors in the rainbow. Seven letters in the word "rainbow". Coincidence? I think not.

8/10 It's good when a characters unpopular character direction is fixed.

3/10, especially when the explanation is just that bad. like, damn, you couldn't've just made something Ascended Fanon?

5/10

It's understandable if the villain had a tragic Freudian Excuse, but if it's Unintentionally Sympathetic, it can taint the audience's experience of the work.

6/10. Can offer nuance to a story, but the caveat is that it's unintentional.

1/10. The page doesn't make it clear what exactly "canon defilement" is, but I don't think I like it.
