Anti-Climactic Unmasking: Difference between revisions

Do not confuse with [[They Look Just Like Everyone Else]], when the villain has no alter ego and is simply too plain to distinguish from ordinary people, or [[The Un-Reveal]], when taking away one mask simply reveals another. This can overlap with [[Stranger Behind the Mask]], if the audience has never seen the unmasked party before. But this trope, emphasizes that it's a stranger to the in-universe ''characters''.
