End of an Age: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Spice and Wolf|Holo]]'': Holo decides to leave the villagers she helped because they say that they don't need a harvest god anymore. While she initially helped them by making the crops grow, she occasionally had to do the opposite to prevent the growing village from being struck by the [[wikipedia:Tragedy of the commons|Tragedy of the Commons]], which made them resent her. In the first episode, before she leaves, we see her portrayed in the village harvest festivities as an oppressive force and a thief instead of as a wise benefactor.

* ''[[One Piece]]'' is starting to look very much like this as of recent{{when}} events, with the romantic "Great Pirate Era" coming crashing down, as Portgas D. Ace, {{spoiler|who was revealed as the son of Gold Roger, the legendary "Pirate King", is killed by Admiral Akainu, providing the first death of a major character}}, and Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate, who held the title of the "World's Strongest Man", {{spoiler|meeting his end shortly afterward, with the almost certainly series [[Big Bad]] Blackbeard and his crew killing him, and stealing his devil fruit power}}.

* Pretty much every generation laments for their respective "good old days". Those born in the 1920s wished for the days before rock'n'roll; those born in the 1950s wished for the days of ''[[Leave It to Beaver]]''; those born in the 1960s keep telling those born in the 80's80s that "we didn't do that sort of thing when we were your age"; and those born in the 1980s bitch about how kids have it too easy now, and are growing up soft. Early 2000s kids are joining in on this as they approach adulthood during the 2020s and miss the days before smartphones. It's happened since the dawn of time and will keep happening until the end of mankind as we know it.
