** The Fanon interpretation that Jack Morrison was Adorkable during his Overwatch days becomes this when Ana's backstory was released. On hindsight, the idealism which made up a large part of his Adorkable charm in turn blinded him to various danger signs brewing within Overwatch, which contributed to its collapse.
** ''Recall'' ends on a high note, where Winston [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether reinstates Overwatch]]. The first one to [[JumpedAtTheCall jump at the call]] was none other than his long time friend Tracer. Surely the next short, which takes place later the same day and involves Tracer, ''must'' be as happy as this one... [[TemptingFate right]]? It's actually ''[[VillainEpisode Alive]]'', which ends with Widowmaker [[TheBadGuyWins successfully assassinating peaceful Omnic monk Mondatta]], turning King's Row into a hellhole, and Tracer being injured while left in complete distraught. No happy ending here, folks. This makes the ending of ''Recall'' go from being unambiguously happy, to being [[BittersweetEnding bittersweet]], knowing what happens immediately afterwards.

Firstly, neither seem to fit FunnyAneurysmMoment at all, since neither of them are about a joke that winds up not being funny any more. They're just events that aren't funny one way or the other. Which is more HarsherInHindsight.

But the reason I didn't move them and brought them here is that they're both based entirely on fanon. They're both about how a fanon WMG wound up being HarsherThanHindsight, which seems like misuse.
