The Broken Aesop example is awful and reads like someone wrote the example and then someone else came along to tack on contradictions. Wouldn't be surprising if that's what actually happened.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI agree. I think the Broken Aesop trope should be removed.
He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.I've gone ahead and removed them with a link to this discussion.

I find these from The Rise of Skywalker suspect.
The arc was completed and balance restored in ''Return of the Jedi", Anakin outright said "Bring back the balance Rey, as I did." It just didn't stay balanced or Palpatine stay dead for as long as we assumed. This sounds like complaining about the arc being arbitrarily undone as opposed to aborted. Saying it's Zigzagged makes it sound more like a non-example.
Broken Aesop cannot be played with as by definition it's unintentional, all this sounds like it's arguing with itself. It also requires contradicting it's internal logic, so contradicting the Aesop of prior installments isn't this as it's an external contradiction. This sounds more like complaining.
Last question: Rey saving the day by by following Kylo's "Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to." seems worth noting. Would this be Villain Has a Point or Strawman Has a Point as the validity was retconned in?
