Line 14:
Of course, interpretations will vary and may be wrong...
Compare with [[Author Appeal]], [[Creator Breakdown]], [[Idiot Plot]], and [[Out-of-Character Moment]].
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Director [[Hideaki Anno]], who had gone through a [[Creator Breakdown|serious bout of depression]] pre-production, was famously accused of this practice in regards to the later opaque parts of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.
* As was ''[[Gundam]]'' director [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]], but [[Kill'Em All|for a different reason]].
* The original English language manga ''[[Drama Con]]'' has an OEL manga artist pause to commiserate about people who think OEL works aren't "really" manga. She's immediately set upon by a [[Straw Man|representative]] of the opposing view: he's ten, dressed as Naruto, only able to talk by shouting... oh, yeah, and racist.
Line 274 ⟶ 276:
** As for Timmy, well it's hard for either of the rich girls interested in him to have a real relationship with anyone when neither of them are comfortable in their own skin. Trixie is the opposite of Sam in that Sam hides her wealth and accentuates her tomboyish nature, whereas Trixie hides her [[Shorttank|tomboyishness]] and accentuates her wealth, due to [[Attention Whore|a pathological need to be the center of attention]]. Veronica, on the other hand, is a [[Satellite Character]] to Trixie, as her entire personality is built around trying to supplant her, to the point of developing paranoid delusions. Naturally, this makes her [[Yandere]] for Timmy.
* ''[[King of the Hill]]'' fell into this in later seasons as [[Mike Judge]] increasingly injected his libertarian views into the show. Also, roleplayers are all cultists according to this show.
* ''[[Bionicle]] 3: Web of Shadows'' deliberately jerked protagonist Toa Vakama [[Out-of-Character Moment|out of character]] for the entire movie, because the writers thought that him becoming a traitor would be more dramatic than, you know, someone to whom it might have made sense to play that role. So they [[Character Derailment|derailed him]] to be more reckless, foolish (the exact opposite of how what he was like in the previous movie) and dangerously misguided (... again), and the other characters consequently acted meaner toward him. Also, this fit in well with their plans to make the movie one giant ''[[Star Wars]]'' - [[Homage]]. The ''real'' ''Bionicle'' writer detests this story to this day, although many fans think that he managed to handle it quite well in the novelization, and admittedly, this made Matau's [[Character Development]] all the more engaging and lead up to a powerful (if highly clichéd) [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
