The problem isn't so much the content, but that it's the wrong trope.
Too Soon is about media works trying to avoid airing episodes or producing movies about recent tragedies. Mostly because it's completely inappropriate, but also because it can come across as being exploitative (like announcing a movie about the WTC attacks the day after they took place). But Too Soon always happens after the fact.
The trope you are looking for is Harsher in Hindsight.
In Deus Ex, during sections of the game where the New York skyline is visible in the background, the two towers of the World Trade Center are noticeably missing; the real towers were destroyed a year after the game was released. Harvey Smith has explained that due to texture memory limitations, the portion of the skyline with the twin towers exists in the game's data files but had to be left out of the final game, with the other half mirrored in place of it. According to Smith, during the game's development, the developers justified the lack of the towers by stating that terrorists had destroyed the World Trade Center earlier in the game's storyline.
I was really shocked about this and I was one when the towers fell
A few of these examples (specifically, the Jeopardy episode and maybe the Yu-Gi-Oh premiere) seem like they were caused more by being preempted by news coverage of the attacks than by anything in the content of the episodes. Do those examples still count?
Concerning the 1994 Marvel cartoon TV show "Fantastic Four" and "Iron Man" 9/11 prediction in western animation.
Dear TV Trope users. As you know I was the one who added "Fantastic Four" 1994 cartoon on the TV episode "Incursion of the Skrull" which did predict the World Trade Center attack and collapse. Also "Iron Man" 1994 cartoon on the TV episode "The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat" also predicted the World Trade Center attack and Pentagon attacks.
I know this is a very sensitive topic to all those New York victims of 9/11 2001 who were hurt and angry by terrorist attacks. But if I made any mistakes or exaggerated on those articles to be caused to be deleted, I'm very sorry I'll try to do better. I'm still upset by the World Trade Center attacks as I have seen it on the news while I was a teenager at the time.
Please let me have your permission to bring back those 2 Marvel cartoon TV articles back on "Too Soon" as they did predict 9/11 attacks. Because I want to be the best Internet article contributor.
