Decon-Recon Switch	comment	Some works deconstruct a trope, whereas others reconstruct them. Some do both at the same time. This trope applies to works in which a trope or genre is deconstructed and later reconstructed. This can take place over a short period of time, where there is an immediate reconstruction of a deconstructed trope, or it can be long and drawn out, where a trope is initially deconstructed, and then reconstructed later on. (Rarely is it done the other way around.) This trope can be an author's way of adding new complexity to the genre they're working in. For example, take the Princess Classic. A work employing this trope would take a Princess Classic, and say, "Guys, it wouldn't really work this way, but here's how it would work out." Using the examples from the Deconstruction and Reconstruction pages, in a work applying this trope to the Princess Classic, the Princess' monarchy might initially find itself in dire straits, with an oppressive leader, but by the end of the story a constitutional monarchy has been put into place. A Trapped in TV Land plot might start with characters engaged in Conversational Troping about the silly things that happen in the Show Within a Show, only to do the exact same things when they find themselves a part of the show's world. Lightly based on Hegelian dialecticâ€”the thesis (the trope), the antithesis (the deconstruction), and the synthesis (reconstruction and a changed trope). May be paired with Cerebus Rollercoaster and is subject to the same pitfalls and dangers. When done well, it can send a powerful message that the optimistic conventions of the genre were not in vain after all, as they overcome the initial cynical deconstruction. When handled poorly, it can give the impression that the writers wanted to draw in an audience with a dark and edgy deconstruction, but copped out later when they realized that this would make a conventional happy ending difficult. See also Indecisive Parody, Halfway Plot Switch, Cerebus Rollercoaster and Satire and Switch. On a smaller scale, compare Double Subversion. Has nothing to do with decontamination or reconnaissance. You should expect a lot of SPOILERS in the examples below, since they often detail the swerves a work makes over its run.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_1869a077	comment	Samurai Jack final season take apart and rebuild the mythology of the series. Take Apart: This season is more than just Darker and Edgier. It clearly shows the consequences and cost of being a warrior stranded in the future fighting an immortal creature that is a personification of evil. Many elements of the first four seasons that had uncomfortable implications are explored in depth as well as the toll it would take on Jack and those involved. To wit: Jack is fine with destroying robots in brutal ways with fluids and parts flying everywhere, but this season makes it clear that in all that time, he never knowingly took a human life. This didn't matter so much at first, as it was primarily Aku who was after him, and Aku prefers sending machines and monsters. This season shows what would happen if others besides Aku wanted to come after him and DIDN'T use robots or machines but real people. When Jack takes his first human life in self-defense, he is horrified and disgusted with himself and even when he resolves to kill in self-defense, he is still haunted by his actions and victims. Jack and Aku learn the hard way that by some fluke, Jack has been rendered ageless and therefore continues to live no matter how many centuries pass (provided that nothing physically harms and kills him). It was fine for Jack being in a stalemate with Aku for only a few years and provided that there was a chance to go home. With the last of the time portals destroyed and Aku effectively withdrawing from open conflict, Jack has to wander around playing the good Samaritan putting out small fires while the overall inferno (Aku's subjugation of the world) blazes unabated. Saying that this has not been good for either Jack or Aku's mental health, would be an understatement. While things were shown to be bad under Aku's rule in the previous seasons, this season in particular doesn't pull any punches about what a Crapsack World the Earth is ruled by Aku. The new opening of the show is downright bleak and when Jack fights his first serious villain, the audience can clearly see the butchered corpses of the villagers Jack went to save. Jack is later forced to show Ashi a good hard look at how bad the world of Aku is when he shows her a single beautiful tree that was once part of a grand forest. Aku destroyed every tree but that one because he wanted people to despair at what once was. Later Ashi kills a torturer who was using brainwashed children as weapons. Spending 50 years going around fighting the forces of Aku using any and every weapon you can find may make you an unbelievably skilled warrior, but it will also take a toll on your mind. What's more is that Jack was only going through the motions without any resolve or determination behind his actions. Add that to the fact that he's suffering from some very serious internal turmoil and guilt lead to a very strong but also mentally unbalanced protagonist. Rebuild: At the beginning of the season and primarily towards the end, many of the elements deconstructed are slowly put back together. While things have overall seemed lost and Jack had lost himself to despair and rage, it is shown that one man can make a difference and that many small actions over time can produce huge results. While Jack became horrified that he had to kill, he still killed in self defense. Moreover, he gave his attackers plenty of warning and the chance to walk away with their lives. Regardless of the Daughters of Aku's circumstance and how much choice they had in their actions, Jack was justified in his actions and conducted himself as a hero showing concern for his foes and only used lethal force as a last resort. Even Ashi, a former Daughter of Aku turned ally to Jack, acknowledges that while Jack may have killed her sisters, he bears no fault or blame for the act (that falls squarely on their terrible mother). It turns out that going around helping people all of the time in spite of (or because of) the world being a terrible place does make a difference: people will be grateful for the little bit of hope that you've given them. Do it enough and word starts to spread a about a man dressed in white saving people from the forces of evil incarnate. A man who can't be stopped or beaten. A man who (so far as the general population knows) can't be broken. You're not just a guy going around helping people and fighting Aku's forces anymore. You've become a folk hero: a legend to inspire everyone who dreams of being free from Aku.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_1929cbce	comment	The Super Mario Bros. Movie shows this for Mario's most defining trait: he never backs down on his choices or goals. He's optimistic and hardworking, but the fact that he doesn't know when to quit causes issues because he's stubborn and frequentlty doubles down on his decisions, resulting in high-risk choices that have equally high consequences: he leaves his job to start his own plumbing company despite not having the experience of running a business and immediately fails their first assignment, tries to fix a broken valve in the city's sewers without permission and gets himself and Luigi sucked into another world, and generally causes problems for himself because he refuses to back down. Once he starts training under Peach, however, Mario's tenacious nature and his perseverance are shown more positively—his stubborn nature may be a hindrance to his relationships sometimes, but it also inspires him to keep trying for success no matter how many times he fails. This attitude is ultimately what helps him defeat Bowser even when all the odds are stacked against him.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_1db412d3	comment	Mistborn does this to the Hope Bringer. Kelsier is a charismatic thief trying to raise a rebellion against the tyrannical Lord Ruler, which he manages by capitalizing on his (admittedly deserved) reputation as a powerful Mistborn, master thief, and the only person to escape the Pits of Hathsin. He wins over the rebel army by playing off of their lack of knowledge of Allomancy, even the Rebel Leader Yeden, who barely trusts him at first. Yeden believes in him so much that halfway through the book, he tries to take a local garrison that swiftly crushes the small, untrained army. After the Lord Ruler kills Kelsier, his backup plan is revealed: if he couldn't kill the Lord Ruler, he would martyr himself, spurring everyone who looked up to him to rebellion. By fostering his reputation, rumors of his name and cause spread all across the empire, giving the rebel cause an army of tens of thousands. He even faked his own resurrection using another trick. Long after his death, the religion he founded gives the downtrodden Skaa hope in a Crapsack World.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_22126d33	comment	Andor Star Wars' core conflict of underdog rebels fighting The Empire is NOT a fight that the rebels are guaranteed to win, or even survive. A ragtag crew is assembled for a heist of Imperial funds, and most of the crew dies. The eponymous hero manages to get the prisoners of a seemingly inescapable Hell Hole Prison to rise up against their oppressors, and it is implied only he and one other man were able to escape. The franchiseâ€™s iconic Stormtroopers are also not bumbling cartoon henchmen who cannot hit the heroes, they are dangerous, ruthless killers. At the same time, the very nature of the Galactic Empireâ€™s tyranny means it will lose. Its iron fist means that it will constantly create new enemies rising up against it. As every battle weakens the Empire, regardless of outcome, it will eventually crumble. The Imperials are not the typical sociopaths seen in Star Wars, they are normal people who believe they are doing the right thing. They have their own motivations and sympathetic qualities. Nonetheless, they are still supporting a tyrannical regime, so they cannot be considered good people in any sense. If they were, they would be trying to do what Senator Mon Mothma did and change the system before resorting to a rebellion. As such, the humanizing traits of the showâ€™s villains do not change that they are still villains.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_22147342	comment	Arrow does this for the Green Arrow mythos, and the superhero genre in general (specifically The Cowl). The classic Green Arrow story involves a billionaire playboy being washed up on an island, learning archery to survive, stopping criminals, and deciding to become a crime-fighter when he returns to civilization for the fun. The series adds some Realism and Darker and Edgier. Oliver's little 'island vacation' in the comics becomes a five year Trauma Conga Line at the end of which he virtually loses his humanity and identity and is transformed into a killing machine. His motivation to become a vigilante is not excitement, but an almost obsessive desire to fulfill his father's dying wish and eventually stop what is essentially attempted genocide. Rather than getting a cool Code Name like 'Green Arrow', he was called 'the Hood', and was hunted by the police as a murderer. Starting with the second season however, Oliver undergoes Character Development and becomes more of a classic 'hero', with a no killing rule, and a more altruistic desire to simply fight crime, for justice and not for vengeance. Also, he now goes by the Superhero Code Name 'Arrow', and begins to acquire all the trappings he had in the comics, such as a Kid Sidekick (actually a young adult) and Trick Arrows. By the fourth season, he ditches The Cowl entirely in favor of The Cape and officially adopts the "Green Arrow" alias.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_2250e67e	comment	Done similarly in Star Trek: Enterprise "Judgement" and with the Proud Warrior Race Guy trope in general. In "Judgment", as Archer is put on trial, his defense attorney mournfully admits Klingon society tends to believe that being a warrior is the only way to achieve honor. This not only leaves a gap in other fields such as doctors, scientists and lawyers but they only care about honor as much as they can boast about who they killed (strong or weak, it doesn't matter) at the bar. The attorney suggests the culture needs a revolution every so often to stabilize it so that they can find honor in ways other than killing. Another episode of Enterprise examines the Vulcans and a society of logic minded individuals. This ended up being an Author's Saving Throw as many were upset over their arrogant and aggressive portrayal in comparison to other series. Essentially the original teachings of Surak (their equivalent to Jesus or Mohammed) was lost and what they remembered was interpreted and reinterpreted to where no one agreed on what they meant. Thus a logical society really all depends on how you interpret what "logic" means. (T'Pol: You find this funny? Archer: I find it familiar). After finding the original writings the Vulcans has a renaissance that encouraged neutrality rather than enforcement.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_230b3240	comment	The Jack Ryan books started off as a deconstructive take on spy fiction. Rather than a badass anti-hero, the titular protagonist was a white-collar desk jockey who rarely went out into the field and was a loving, well-adjusted middle-aged family man. As well, most of the spy work was done through analyzing data. the villains - with the exception of Sean Miller of Patriot Games - were mostly no different morally than the protagonists, and just doing their jobs with no grand designs besides patriotism and/or self-interest; even Miller was ultimately a cog in the machine. Later books introduced characters who were the exact kind of anti-heroes the prior books mocked, as well as villains bent on world domination and mass murder who wouldn't be out of place in a James Bond movie.

It also does this to the Non-Human Sidekick trope as well, as evidenced by how Shaggy and Velma's relationship is affected by the presence of someone not human, but about as intelligent and with similarly strong feelings. In addition to that, the mysteries start out not being supernatural in origin at all, all having logical explanations... until that's no longer true. The protagonists even get in trouble with the law or their parents. for their investigating and meddling. But later on, things start to really go downhill, and it ultimately is up to the Scooby gang to save the day.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_3651bc0c	comment	The Princess and the Frog: Naveen's luxurious life as a prince caused him to become a spoiled, arrogant womanizer which led to his parents cutting him off from their money. He's also a Horrible Judge of Character, having been surrounded all his life by flatterers and flunkies. When he assumes that Tiana is a true princess just because of how she's dressed, he thinks he's found an easy out of his curse, and this multiplies their problems. The reconstruction comes when his growing feelings for Tiana cause him to become less self-absorbed and be willing to renounce his goals to help her achieve her dreams and their Fourth-Date Marriage allows them to invoke True Love's Kiss much more successfully the second time around. The Princess And The Frog also has elements of this for Disney movies, though in a different way than the above. While Disney Princesses have a reputation for waiting around for whatever they want, Tiana is a borderline workaholic; Naveen, meanwhile, is a spoiled lothario, and their attempt at forcing True Love's Kiss only makes everything worse. By the end, however, they're in love, get married and everything works out like in your average Disney fairy tale. Doctor Facilier is a deconstruction of the Magical Negro. He offers to use his magic to seemingly improve the lives of others with nothing to gain from it, but upon closer inspection it becomes clear that he's manipulating his customers for his own ultimate gain. Mama Odie is a reconstruction with a twist. She could use her magic to fix everything, but she wants the protagonists to earn their happy endings.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_468bebb0	comment	Much of the Discworld novels run on this. For instance, having stereotypical fantasy wizards running around using powerful magic would be incredibly destabilizing for everything ranging from politics to the fabric of reality. Thus, the Unseen University is not so much about teaching people with the potential how to cast powerful spells as it is for keeping people from doing exactly that. This is achieved half by teaching what you should not mess with, half by the institution providing wizards with cushy upkeep and jobs so they don't feel the need to go out and mess things up. However, when magical threats come around, the wizards often do help a great deal in defeating them - not by casting awesome spells but because they know how these things work. The City Watch series began partly as a deconstruction of the Film Noir genre- where the gritty Anti-Hero detective isn't suave and mysterious, with a handsomely checkered past, but just a miserable, washed up alcoholic. Then, over the course of the novels, Vimes eventually manages to overcome many of his faults and become a powerful, happily married Hardboiled Detective.

He's a horrible spoiled arsehole, who thinks the people of the other world are less important, but he's also really well developed, so we get to see how he justifies it, and how he's genuinely trying to be a better, less selfish person. The magical world is so well-detailed that it feels just as realistic as the world we know, and, despite involving children as the main characters, when Adults Are Useless, it's justified by the plot.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_5268a4ed	comment	Kamen Rider Build deconstructs the idea of the Nebulous Evil Organisation common to the franchise and the Monster of the Week story structure associated with it during its first act. By the end of the first quarter, the villainous Faust and their Smash monsters have turned out to be a wholly manufactured crisis, the heroes have been actively helping the real Big Bad by fighting them, and concerns about monsters of the week and shadowy organizations evaporate in the face of a Japanese civil war, a greedy war profiteer, and an alien menace scheming to obliterate all life on Earth. By the show's last quarter, though, all of the show's more realistic villains have fallen apart one by one, ruined by their own shortsighted greed, and the alien has decided humanity is just too entertaining to kill like he'd originally meant to. Instead he elects to start playing with them and running experiments on human test subjects, wanting to see how far he can go with turning humans into both metaphorical and literal monsters. The result ends up looking an awful lot like Faust.

However, the series also reconstructs why Gotham City still needs Batman, as there are still corrupt people like Derek Powers, and his son Paxton, and criminal gangs, some even inspired by the Joker, running rampant, and the people of Gotham still need Batman to be their protector when nobody else can help them.

Ezri Dax points out to Worf that time and again, the Klingon Empire has never lived up to Worf's expectation. The ethos of honor and tradition has always been more an ideal than a reality. Yet Worf still believes in those codes, and uses them to challenge his corrupt leader to single combat, kills him during the fight, and installs the more honorable General Martok in his place. Done similarly in Star Trek: Enterprise "Judgement" and with the Proud Warrior Race Guy trope in general. In "Judgment", as Archer is put on trial, his defense attorney mournfully admits Klingon society tends to believe that being a warrior is the only way to achieve honor. This not only leaves a gap in other fields such as doctors, scientists and lawyers but they only care about honor as much as they can boast about who they killed (strong or weak, it doesn't matter) at the bar. The attorney suggests the culture needs a revolution every so often to stabilize it so that they can find honor in ways other than killing. Another episode of Enterprise examines the Vulcans and a society of logic minded individuals. This ended up being an Author's Saving Throw as many were upset over their arrogant and aggressive portrayal in comparison to other series. Essentially the original teachings of Surak (their equivalent to Jesus or Mohammed) was lost and what they remembered was interpreted and reinterpreted to where no one agreed on what they meant. Thus a logical society really all depends on how you interpret what "logic" means. (T'Pol: You find this funny? Archer: I find it familiar). After finding the original writings the Vulcans has a renaissance that encouraged neutrality rather than enforcement.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_81f5d35d	comment	If a Kamen Rider show indulges in deconstruction, it's a good bet that it's going to be a reconstruction by the end: Kamen Rider Gaim, written by the infamous "Urobutcher", starts out as a comedic, lighthearted Kamen Rider series that soon turns into a dark deconstruction of the franchise as a whole, showing how many of your typical Kamen Rider tropes could never work in real life. However, things gradually turn the series into a reconstruction of all the tropes it previously deconstructed; the All-Loving Hero that was once seen as a naÃ¯ve idiot shows that holding on even in darkness can ultimately pay off in the end; the immature and selfish riders who couldn't give a damn before eventually mature and decide to genuinely do good in the world; the young hero who fights for his friends that was easily manipulated into becoming evil is able to see the error of his ways and is forgiven because he was really just a stupid kid who didn't know better; everything culminating in the message that the world can be grim, but not everything is lost or hopeless. Kamen Rider Build deconstructs the idea of the Nebulous Evil Organisation common to the franchise and the Monster of the Week story structure associated with it during its first act. By the end of the first quarter, the villainous Faust and their Smash monsters have turned out to be a wholly manufactured crisis, the heroes have been actively helping the real Big Bad by fighting them, and concerns about monsters of the week and shadowy organizations evaporate in the face of a Japanese civil war, a greedy war profiteer, and an alien menace scheming to obliterate all life on Earth. By the show's last quarter, though, all of the show's more realistic villains have fallen apart one by one, ruined by their own shortsighted greed, and the alien has decided humanity is just too entertaining to kill like he'd originally meant to. Instead he elects to start playing with them and running experiments on human test subjects, wanting to see how far he can go with turning humans into both metaphorical and literal monsters. The result ends up looking an awful lot like Faust.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire likes doing this. Quentyn Martell's story serves to deconstruct The Hero's Journey as Quentyn goes through all the beats while not actually being the hero, whereas Jon Snow is an actual Chosen One where some initial subversion of the trope leads to Character Development that allows him to make the right choices later on. This is made somewhat explicit in the first book as Jon's role as The Chosen One becomes more apparent to the readers. Although he is somewhat skilled in the use of a sword, Commander Mormont prepares him to be a leader instead of a fighter, and effectively tells him that one person swinging a sword will make no difference in the grand scheme of things. "Your brother is in the field with all the power of the north behind him. Any one of his lords bannermen commands more swords than you'll find in all the Night's Watch. Why do you imagine that they need your help? Are you such a mighty warrior, or do you carry a grumkin in your pocket to magic up your sword?" From that point forward, Jon Snow starts focusing more on thinking his way through situations. Another example in the same series is about knighthood and the ideals of chivalry. Characters like Gregor Clegane are knights yet utter monsters, leading to Sandor Clegane's disgust and disillusionment with the profession. At the same time Brienne of Tarth, who can never be knighted due to her gender, strives and works continuously to live up to knightly ideals regardless, and is one of the most noble characters in the series.

Despite everything that happens to him, Orel being the only truly devout person in Moralton and its only really noble person is emphatically not a coincidence, and the strength of his faith above all else is what ultimately allows him to find his happy ending.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_a3fcd166	comment	The first two books in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy are a Deconstructive Parody of Doctor Who-style science fiction - the kind with eccentric Human Aliens travelling time and space with human companions - mostly achieved by showing the setting as a World Gone Mad, making the two Doctor-analogue characters an ineffectual everyman (Ford) and an abrasively selfish Attention Whore (Zaphod), and having most of the characters just stumble around the universe getting accidentally both in and out of trouble. But in the third book, Life, the Universe and Everything, they do actually save the galaxy from a gang of Scary Dogmatic Aliens using their own eccentricities and wit (much like the Doctor would), and the locations the characters visit are notably more wonderful, alien and mysterious than the deliberately unglamorous locations from the first two books (even Lost World Magrathea being described as a BBC Quarry-like location). This is in part due to it being adapted from a rejected Doctor Who script by Adams.

Good characters get killed as a result of their principled actions, and villains triumph because of their ruthlessness. However, as the series goes on, the plot becomes more traditional, with the political intrigue between morally grey factions transitioning into epic heroes rising to meet an Obviously Evil threat. In the season 1 episode "Baelor", Shae points out that a girl who'd almost been raped wouldn't be inviting a man into her bed two hours later in response to Tyrion's story about Tysha who had sex with him the same night he and Jamie "saved" her from a gang of rapists. The event turned out to be a Confidence Building Scheme orchestrated by Jaime for Tyrion to lose his virginity. However, in the season 5 episode "The Gift" Gilly is cornered and almost raped by two Nights Watch recruits, only to be rescued at the last minute by Sam (who they beat the living crap out of) and Ghost (who they flee from). While Sam is recovering from the beatdown, Gilly thanks him for his bravery by having sex with him which reconstructs the trope.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_b46d4dee	comment	The Ballad of Edgardo deconstructs the common RPG fantasy plot of "superpowered heroes teaming up to protect the land from the forces of darkness", as the narrator discovers to his horror that the entire player base consists of turbo-edgelords playing brooding anti-heroes whose smugness and Jerkassery is off the charts, with the most powerful among them ruling over a portion of the land like a tyrant and crushing anyone who opposes him, and the rest of them seeing absolutely no problem with this and borderline worshipping the guy. The narrator's attempt at playing a Bare-Fisted Monk Stock Shōnen Hero gets him laughed out of the tavern for his "low-brow" character and then promptly pounded into the dirt twice over, first by another character at his same level and then by the aforementioned tyrant (who is so strong his level is an infinity symbol). Then an act of kindness from one of the only other compassionate players on the forum saves Edgardo's life, and when he gratefully joins up with the guy in question, they discover that Edgardo's supposedly useless stats combined with a perfectly-arranged location perk turns out to be the single strongest attack in the entire forum, which Edgardo and his sidekick use to gloriously take revenge on the smug creeps who abused them.

When Boastful Loki betrays Kid Loki by turning in to President Loki and his army to remove Kid Loki from his throne, but this return leads President betraying him so he can take the throne for himself, which in return leads to President Lokiâ€™s army betraying him as they want the throne themselves, ultimately leading to free-for-all between the Lokis. But it is also reconstructed at the end of episode with Classic Loki helping Loki and Sylvie by distracting Alioth long enough for them to find He who Remainsâ€™ base, at the cost of his life.

Shirou is forced to confront the hypocrisies of the idea of trying to save everyone at the cost of your life. It points out how unsettling and mentally unhealthy it is for a person to be able to do that, as well as the fact that no matter who you are, you cannot save everyone. Shirou is revealed to be an Empty Shell that wanted to be a hero as he desired to be as happy as Kiritsugu was when he was rescued and Archer, Future alternative timeline Shirou, having became a The Needs of the Many Anti-Hero to keep saving people, only to be killed by the very people he worked to save as no one trusted him due to him not wanting anything in return. With the added bonus of him giving up his afterlife for power causing him to be an assassin for all of time. But then Shirou realizes that while being a hero is hell, that the very ideal is beautiful enough that it is worth all the pain in the world and resolves to again be a hero.

His plan was easily put together for a superhero, and only a superhero, to stop it - and the good guys had the advantages of teamwork and experience over him. So, it's reconstructed.

Despite this, Optimus continues to be a good person, and learns on his own how to become the hero everyone was expecting him to be in spite of the odds and losses.

The book Deconstructs the '90s Anti-Hero and The Dark Age of Comic Books by having Gary disgusted by heroes who kill and overly psychopathic villains. It also serves as a Decon-Recon Switch because Gary, himself, is a well-written '90s Anti-Hero. The book, notably, treats Lighter and Softer superheroes significantly more sympathetically than most examples of the Capepunk genre.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The premiere episode uses a cynical, snarky introvert as its protagonist in order to demonstrate how frustrating an experience it would be for such a person to be stuck in a cartoon for little girls, and how dangerous the fantasy setting that allows this Sugar Bowl to exist would be - especially when its half-insane inhabitants are too carefree to pay the imminent threat any attention. The following episode makes a point of demonstrating that, for all its quirks and annoyances, there's ultimately a lot to be said for the optimistic camaraderie that the concept underlying My Little Pony represents. Twilight comes to wholeheartedly embrace her new friends, defeats and redeems the Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds via The Power of Friendship, and the series moves forward from there. The two-parter that kicks off the second season follows a similar pattern. In Part 1, Discord demonstrates that the foundations of friendship (which formed the basis for the reconstruction of Season 1's second episode) are fundamentally flawed and thus fallible. Part 2 accepts this fact, but leaves no question that friendship remains well worth the struggles that go into it. "Hurricane Fluttershy" pulls this on several tropes. Training Montage: The amount of of training that's covered by a single montage will only be enough for modest at best improvement. But it's still important and something to be proud of. Underdogs Never Lose: A group with limited training and several members out sick is realized to have no chance of breaking the record as hoped. But they can still do well enough to get the job done and that's the important thing.

However, it also reminds us that at the end of the day, he's still the Doctor, and the world is better with him than without. This is also shown with the Doctor's first encounter with Torchwood, when the organization, originally created to fight any and all alien threats (including the Doctor), welcomes him like a celebrity. Sure, he's in Torchwood custody, but they'll treat him nicely as long as he behaves. They know his track record more than most people.

Mr. Krabs passes SpongeBob up for a promotion, since he feels like SpongeBob is too much of a Manchild to handle the responsibility, which leads to SpongeBob and Patrick spending most of the film trying to prove themselves as more than just kids by acting like real men (complete with fake seaweed mustaches). There are certain points in the movie where other characters, and even Spongebob and Patrick themselves, wonder if they're competent enough to save the day or if they're just a pair of dumb kids in over their heads, but in the end their zany, childlike nature is what ultimately allows them to stop Plankton and save Mr. Krabs (and Bikini Bottom as a whole).

Decon-Recon Switch / int_c72c2d06	comment	Star Wars Rebels: The show continues this from The Clone Wars regarding the philosophies of the Force: Who Ezra and Kanan choose to become will determine their future and their role in the Galaxy. Continuing from the above, Ezra is constantly exposed to new ways of thinking from different mentors and enemies, which is not helped by his growing natural affinity with the Force, and also being impressionable and curious: Kanan (who never formally finished his own training) had to learn via duels with the Inquisitors; his biggest concern is preserving his humanity while managing to find another way around to survive) attempts to constantly control and protect Ezra from the Dark Side due to his own insecurities, while Maul and the Presence (the former being raw to emotion like Ezra and the latter being a revered official Sith Lord) encourage him to go in the opposite direction, by doing whatever it takes to get the job done faster and pragmatically, no matter how scrupulous and to use his negative emotions as his strength. Among the others are Ahsoka, who, while does not seems to be heavily involved in Ezra's training, serves as a personal example to Ezra as a non-Jedi who is still strong in both morality and skill; and Rex, who though isn't a Force-user, teaches Ezra on ruthlessness without going off the deep end. "Rise of the Old Masters" does this with There Is No Try. Kanan says this to Ezra during his training, who asks him how you can do something without trying. Kanan admits that he never understood it either and is just parroting Master Yoda. At the end of the episode, Kanan figures out what it means - if you simply try to do something, you'll have far less chance of succeeding than if you focus on doing it. Of the Kid Hero trope (and likely of Anakin as well): Ezra is rather humorous and clumsy, but it turns out he has powers (The Force), which throws him into the Galaxy of the Rebels vs. The Empire, and of course, his powers are part of his sob story, which motivates him to join the Rebels. It sounds like it will be a fun adventure about kicking evil's butt... but the show explores what kind of stress that induces on a teenager, including the horrors of war like the loss of family, friends, and innocents caught in the crossfire, and the burden of attempting to carry on a legacy of a dying philosophy, also being constantly susceptible to people who want to take Ezra under their wing, as described above. Ezra is constantly wondering if the fight is worth it, but what keeps Ezra from Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and staying a good person at heart is maternal support from Hera, Kanan's teachings, Zeb's respect, Sabine's faith in him, and his friendships with Chopper, Rex, Ahsoka, etc. To sum it all up, like the movies, Rebels is a Coming of Age Story. Briefly discussed in "A Princess on Lothal". The crew tries to come up with ways to retrieve the ships, until each one is shut down, and they are brought to silence, discouraged with the plan. Leia brings life and hope back to the discussion with this piece of encouragement:

However, things gradually turn the series into a reconstruction of all the tropes it previously deconstructed; the All-Loving Hero that was once seen as a naÃ¯ve idiot shows that holding on even in darkness can ultimately pay off in the end; the immature and selfish riders who couldn't give a damn before eventually mature and decide to genuinely do good in the world; the young hero who fights for his friends that was easily manipulated into becoming evil is able to see the error of his ways and is forgiven because he was really just a stupid kid who didn't know better; everything culminating in the message that the world can be grim, but not everything is lost or hopeless.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: The episode "My Future Self 'n Me" both deconstructs and reconstructs Drugs Are Bad. It deconstructs it by having the parents go to absurd and dishonest lengths to scare their kids off drugs, but ends with a very heartfelt and sincere reason why kids shouldn't take drugs. In the episode "Cartman Finds Love", they parody Token Minority Couple when a new black girl is introduced and Cartman manipulates the only black kid in school into dating her. Though they broke up briefly because they both thought the other only liked them because they were black. But in the end they get back together, aware that people will assume they're dating because they're expected to. The episode also makes a point of establishing that the two are dating because they genuinely like and have feelings for each other, and that's all that should really matter. "All About Mormons" tackles the religion by having a Mormon family move to town and befriend the Marsh family. The family tells the story of Joseph Smith and the founding of the religion, which the show portrays as nonsensical and takes the stance that Joseph Smith clearly made it all up just to make money. Stan lashes out on the family once he hears the whole story and says you shouldn't believe in a religion without any proof. However, the next day, Gary tells him that even if Smith did make everything up, the religion stills promotes good values such as being nice to others and helping the poor and that his family is happy, loving, and functional thanks to their faith.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_db96ded4	comment	The Legend of Korra: Korra is a decon-recon of the Action Hero. The villains are more morally grey and represent legitimate social issues that can't be resolved through ass-kicking, with Korra's attempts to do so being reckless to a fault or causing collateral damage that's more liable to hurt the heroes and aid the villains. But then the villains descent into clear-cut evildoing and need an ass-kicking to stop, enabling said social issues to be resolved properly. Korra's wins ultimately come at increasingly high costs that leave her physically and emotionally crippled by the end of Season 3, where the continued existence of problems despite her efforts and others able to take care of things while she recovers make her think her being an Action Hero is unneeded. This causes Korra, who's defined her self-worth by being such, to go into a Heroic BSoD that last three years and two-thirds of the final season, recovering once she reconstructs her worth. The continued existence of problems mean such an Action Hero will always be needed, with all her hardships making her, and redefining herself as, a diplomat who's able to resolve conflict without the costs of fighting but still able to fight if need be.

Hanako—who, ironically, is too much of a Shrinking Violet to say so out loud—turns out to hate being constantly treated by everyone like a broken thing, and the way she is constantly coddled and protected by them, the narration (via the protagonist's monologue) even going so far as to hand the reader a rather non-subtle "The Reason You Suck" Speech by suggesting that the real reason Hisao (and by extension, the reader) was so fascinated with Hanako was a desire to escape the emptiness and confusion of his own life by latching onto the only person around more obviously pathetic than himself and showering them with shallow affection. Then, the good ending of the route completely turns the bleak and depressing premise on its head by showing that even if that's true, by being willing to accept one's own faults and share them with a loved one's, and treating them as equals rather than something to be protected or served, it is possible to not only have a satisfying and happy relationship with a person who appears to be "broken", but for everyone involved to emerge from it as better people.

Decon-Recon Switch / int_fc93e179	comment	Fight Club does this with Be Yourself. Tyler Durden's central argument is that this trope, far from liberating people, does little more than turn them into atomized pawns of consumer capitalism with no place to turn to for support when things get rough, and the titular Fight Clubbing is meant to recreate a sense of brotherhood among men in a society where that ideal is rapidly fraying. As the story goes on, however, Tyler's own philosophy is deconstructed even more harshly. Many would recognize the depressed and lonely men who get seduced by Project Mayhem as easy fodder for a cult, and that is exactly what they find themselves in, a totalitarian movement that scrubs away their individuality, compels them to throw out their material possessions and live in poverty in the name of The Spartan Way, and ultimately leads to terrorist violence and the deaths of some of their members. The Narrator's own triumph, such as it is, comes from rebelling against Tyler and trying to become his own man.
