Line 23:
A common pattern that occurs, especially with recent comic book adaptations is that the first film is either deemed great or at least decent considering the demands made by [[Executive Meddling]]. Because the first film was a success, the second movie is given more open range to experiment with. This either reveals that the executive meddling was what made the first movie good or it manages to top itself and be even better. If it reaches a third movie those involved may start to think they are invincible and shows why they needed someone to hinder them a little bit.
 
Contrast [[Executive Veto]], [[Executive Meddling]], [[Tough Act to Follow]], [[Scapegoat Creator]]. Not entirely uncoincidentally, many creators with [[Protection From Editors]] are also [[Small Name, Big Ego|Small Name Big Egos]]. [[Mis Blamed]] might result if the executive is blamed for what it actually the creator's fault. The trope's name is inspired by the TCG [[Magic: theThe Gathering]], for a card ability that "protects" the card it appears on from something else in the game outlined by the ability itself. ("Protection From X", where "X" in this case is editors.)
