"The Prequel Trilogy's take on Anakin Skywalker was widely derided along with the prequels themselves on release for being a whiny, selfish brat" ... how can the prequels be whiny, selfish or a brat? This is obviously a stealth complaint that someone slipped in with no regard for the overall sentence structure.
^Agreed, that bolded bit can be deleted since the example is supposed to be about a particular character.
As for OP's question about the example, yes, that should be restored: Rescued from the Scrappy Heap overlaps in this case.
Edited by StarSword Trust me, I'm an engineer!I think that the MLP example is more Outdated by Canon, but that trope is applied to specific fanfics rather than general fanon.
Will remove Luna then (the notion of "Fanon Marches On" is a separate thing to work on later).
On the subject of MLP, would Princess Celestia count as her popularity evolved from shows most frequent target of Ron the Death Eater to straight unironic like?

Questions about these from Character Perception Evolution:
The bolded part was removed citing "The point about his portrayal in the animated series is closer to Rescued from the Scrappy Heap." But prior ATT
agreed with me that Rescued can still count it it caused their pre-recused material to retroactively be judged more favorably. So permission to add it back modifying to fit this?
This seems misuse as every other CPE example is not about their fanon, but their popularity (be it love, hate, Love to Hate, vilify, or whitewash). And later martial may have changed how Luna is seen in fanon/overall but I don't believe it changed how she's seen in her Season 1 portrayal itself (less than a minute of screentime, just two lines, extreme Early Installment Character-Design Difference) Is evolving fanon separate enough to warrant cutting this a it's not her popularity that changed?
