"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.

Restore it into Rescued from the Scrappy Heap.

I think that the MLP example is more Outdated by Canon, but that trope is applied to specific fanfics rather than general fanon.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?
