The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Edit: Ignore this post. Accidentally ended up on Trope Finder due to a misclick (the URL for queries
defaults to Trope Finder); thought I was on Ask The Tropers. Sorry!

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
What's the trope where a situation is revealed to be a lot darker than it seemed at first, but isn't a Cerebus Retcon?
In this case, early in The Boys MM appears to be a case of Overprotective Dad when his daughter goes out with wannabe gangbangers and dresses in very revealing clothing along with her promiscuous attitude. Later on we learn that due to the Compound V in her system, she looks to be in her twenties but is actually 12, making MM's fears perfectly justified.
