Fleeting Demographic Rule	comment	A gimmick or storyline may be reused freely and safely after a few years of dormancy. The general principle applies to any work that is enough of a Long-Runner and/or has enough of a Fleeting Demographic to outlast most of its initial fanbase. For example, during the Silver Age of comics, the writers assumed that their demographic was young boys ages 9-11 — which would make a three-year turnover safe — and that their demographic rarely read comics frequently enough to notice the repetition. They also believed that even if they did read them often, they wouldn't notice. This has been turned away from in recent times because comics are now written (and often read) by people who love continuity; if they make events repeat, then they'll eventually come up with a metaplot to explain it. Also, the rise of the Internet has made it trivial to compare works that are years or decades apart, making it practically impossible for writers to pull this off unnoticed. This is also to be avoided if your franchise is subject to a Popularity Polynomial, as all the 'old' fans haven't actually left but are just waiting quietly for it to become cool again. As a result, they'll spot something overly-familiar. Not the same as Older Than They Think, this influence extends to tropes, plots, lines, and gimmicks of more recent vintage, that the viewer can be reasonably expected to have seen since it was The Big Cool New Thing just a couple of years ago — and a couple of years before that, and a couple of years before that, and... Lampshading of this practice falls under Didn't We Use This Joke Already?. Compare Recycled Script. Contrast Spiritual Successor where the writers don't have to pretend this isn't a rehash - because it isn't truly a rehash. May be implemented as a result of complaints about Continuity Lock-Out.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_131d06c	comment	In 2010, Kane took out the Undertaker for a few months and the Undertaker came back for revenge. When Kane explained his actions, he stated it was because the Undertaker had shown weakness in his match with Shawn Michaels. It is very similar to the storyline where Kane buried Taker alive because he showed weakness in helping protect Stephanie from Vince. This feud fully acknowledges the past storyline, saying that last time, the time wasn't right for Kane's "master plan", and that he's been building up to this since the year after he debuted. The timeline also fits; it had been about another six years. It had also been six years since Undertaker "killed" Paul Bearer, only for Bearer to return to be in 'Taker's corner. Though Bearer then betrayed Undertaker at the Hell in a Cell PPV two weeks later. Presumably he still remembers being buried in cement. He hinted on Twitter that he does, anyway. The feud then led to a Buried Alive match with Undertaker losing due to outside interference, leaving Kane to ask for a bulldozer to dump soil into the grave, almost seven years since the last time this happened.

Xander even reminisces fondly about the prior event (including his best friend leading a mob of women and trying to kill him with an axe). There are also multiple episodes based on the characters' fears becoming manifest, though for different reasons. A first season episode based on folks' nightmares, and a fourth season episode with a haunted house.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men as a franchise has been doing this since 1991. Whatever changes are made to characters, most last five or so years before going back to the status quo that Chris Claremont had set before he left the book. It's notable that Claremont himself did not subscribe to this, and things kept changing constantly during his run, and never went completely back to normal most of the time. Apparently, it never occurs to Marvel that this might be why the Claremont years are looked upon as the golden era of X-Men comics. Recent examples include House of M, where at the end the X-Men status quo was changed by Mutants going from a prominent minority with their own sub-culture to being on the verge of extinction when the Scarlet Witch wished away the powers of most other mutants in 2005, and seven years later the whole thing was undone with the crossover event AVX. ...and then Secret Wars (2015) happened, and the X-Men and mutant kind are right back to where they were post-"House of M" with the M-Pox story line. Many fans began to lose patience with Marvel, as this story came less than five years after AVX and suspiciously coincided with Marvel's infamous movie rights dispute with 20th Century Fox. Before the M-Pox story line, the Legacy Virus was the mutant virus story line from the 90's, which Jamie Madrox also died from. Apocalypse creates a four-horsemen team, posing a great threat to the world, only to be forgotten later. Rachel Summers in Days of Future Past (1981), Nathan Summers (1986 & 1990), Lucas Bishop (1991), and Hope Summers (2008) all either are or revolve around a time traveler coming to the present to prevent a Bad Future. Even Nate Grey (1995) technically counts, as while he came from an alternate reality, he dedicated most of his career to preventing that reality becoming 616's Bad Future. Psylocke gains new powers, forgets those powers, and gains new powers. The X-Men travel to space for important space-related business. The X-Men have to deal with another dimension and/or another timeline. Someone dies. Someone you thought was dead isn't anymore. Mr. Sinister/Apocalypse/Madelyne Pryor/Stryfe does something evil and mysterious and disappears for a while. The Hellfire Club has a new roster. The X-Men split off into two or more teams. An inexperienced team of younger members has adventures and gets forgotten about. A spunky, hip female member joins the team, then leaves. There's a new version of the Sentinels, only this time, there's something different. The headquarters of the X-Men team, typically an academy or other institute of higher learning, is destroyed. The X-Men relocate to a new geographical location. Something happens to Charles Xavier. Something... that looks... PERMANENT! Magneto does something irredeemably evil, reforms to help the X-Men, stays neutral, and goes back to being evil. This is eventually touched on in Magneto: Not A Hero, which directly contrasts the more or less reformed Magneto with his clone, Joseph, resurrected by an anti-mutant activist who wanted an evil Magneto to stir up fear, when Magneto rips into Joseph, neatly summing up his reason for the Heelâ€“Face Revolving Door: â€œThe thing none of you will ever understand is that there are no sides. There's no heroes or villains. There's just what I want and how I'll get it.â€� Jean Grey struggling with her growing powers and dying has been done over and again since The Dark Phoenix Saga.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_2250e67e	comment	Voyager and Enterprise are especially bad at this, leading to criticism that both ignore their premises to be "Next Gen lite" and recycle old episodes in the belief no one would recall episodes from any prior series. Hence why many Enterprise episodes feature technology and species wildly inappropriate for the time; they were introduced back in 1987, and nobody would remember back that far. Not that they cared. And why Voyager does things like base an episode around the legal issue of the rights of artificial lifeforms, even though TNG had resolved that early on. Parodied in Voltaire's "USS Make-Shit-Up". One verse expresses deja vu over Voyager, then has a flash of memory — it was "way back in the sixties, when they called it Lost in Space."

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_261c8d3f	comment	In The Simpsons season 5 episode "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)", Barney mistakes a cup of quarters for a cup of beer, and ends up swallowing a bunch. As he starts burping them out, one of the patrons nearby says, "Hey, this guy's paying off!" Barney is then surrounded by gamblers picking up the quarters as he keeps burping. This episode aired in 1993. Cut to 2012. After Futurama (another show created by Matt Groening) is Uncancelled, there's the season 7 episode "Viva Mars Vegas". The Planet Express crew steals a bunch of money from a casino taken over by the Robot Mafia by having Zoidberg eat everything in the vault, as he's currently invisible. When the crew attempts to wheel Zoidberg out of the casino on a shrimp serving cart, he starts burping out dollar bills. And just like in "$pringfield", a bystander shouts "Look! The shrimp cart's paying out!" before a horde of gamblers follow after it to pick up the bills. In essence, they reused a joke nineteen years later.

Bearer repeatedly threatened to reveal a dark family secret about the Undertaker's past, which eventually culminated in a pay-per-view match with the Undertaker against Kane, and if Undertaker lost, Bearer would reveal the secret. Undertaker won the match, but Bearer revealed the secret anyway: That Kane was the Undertaker's supposedly long-dead half brother. Fast-forward to 2005, when Eddie Guerrero turned on his tag team partner, Rey Mysterio Jr.. Eddie repeatedly threatened to reveal a dark family secret about Rey's past, which eventually culminated in a pay-per-view match with Rey against Eddie, and if Rey lost, Eddie would reveal the secret. Rey won, but Eddie revealed the secret anyway: That Rey's son Dominik was actually Eddie's from a period of time in which he was separated from his wife.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_304cf2c	comment	The ending to Survivor Series 2015 is practically rehash of SummerSlam 2013, with Roman Reigns as Daniel Bryan, the face who gets screwed after finally winning the title by a heel authority figure (the same heel authority figure, in fact), and Sheamus as Randy Orton, the guy who cashes in and then joins up with said heel authority figure. It wasn't well-received at all, for a variety of reasons: Again, Seven Year Rule. It's only been two years, so everyone can see the parallels. Neither of them are over enough to make it work. Reigns has mild popularity at best at this point, while Sheamus has been regarded as irrelevant and no one, not even the company itself, wanted him to be champion in the first place. The reason the original storyline worked was because of the Reality Subtext to it and the fact that Bryan was already massively over to begin with. Daniel Bryan as the popular, plucky underdog face against Randy Orton, The Chosen One of management who's been protected by the company for practically his entire career. The fans aren't dumb and this isn't the 80s — even the average casual fan is much smarter than they used to be, thanks to the advent of the Internet and the destruction of kayfabe. Everyone knows that Reigns is the corporate pick — he hasn't lost a one-on-one match clean since the start of his singles career and his mega push earlier in the year cemented it. That's not even accounting for the fact that "popular rebel-face vs. heel authority figure" is Austin vs McMahon with a fresh coat of paint, which has been done to death with nearly every single heel authority figure in the company for the last fifteen years, since at least the Attitude Era. It's as if the company is trying to set him up for constant failure and they're just completely oblivious to it.

In addition to the aforementioned Starscream, Bumblebee being recolored as Cliffjumper is a common recurring theme, with a few exceptions. Additionally, Transformers recolors are rather atypical in that they usually represent completely new characters who just look similar to the old ones, as opposed to old characters in different colors (which, conversely, tend to be slow sellers).

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_516b12e8	comment	A related version happens in TV made for toddlers. In the case of In the Night Garden..., only 100 episodes were ever commissioned, despite the show being wildly popular. The logic is that the demographic will only watch for two years, then grow out of the show, meaning after 100 episodes you can start from the beginning again and nobody but adults will notice. This is also the reason why the show has no overarching plot or an episode that acknowledges itself as the first or last. This is similar to many studios only commissioning 65 episodes for its kids', neonate, early and late teen shows. It takes a monumental push by fans to get more of the same show instead of using the same 65 scripts for the next one they churn out. This was a pretty big issue in the mid 2000s with Disney Channel, where the hugely popular Lizzie McGuire ended at 65 episodes in just 2 seasons and Kim Possible needed an obscure contract from a German television station to get a 4th season. Hannah Montana and Wizards of Waverly Place have over 85 and The Suite Life on Deck has over 100 when you count both series. Originally, this practice started as something of an insurance policy for all sides — if the show did well, great, it would be signed up for more than 65 episodes. But if it bombed and was canceled, 65 was the minimum most stations would purchase for syndication (allowing them to run the show each weekday for 13 weeks without repeats). By ensuring that there would be at least that number of episodes, the producers hoped to guarantee they would make at least some money off the show, and this worked reasonably well. (Famously, the first seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation were produced under such a deal.) Add in the idea that your shows are interchangeable dreck that nobody cares too closely about, and you end up switching shows each time the grace period expires.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_52837809	comment	While the franchise post-Showa repeats series themes markedly less often than Sentai, certain iconic motifs are frequently reused as a form of tribute. Aside from the oft-recurring classic insect motifs, the most obvious example (and truest to the trope) is the "bat-spider-cobra" trio of themes for enemy monsters, the former two being some of the first-ever monster themes in the series and the latter being the motif of the first monster to receive a power-up in the franchise. Almost every series with animal-themed monsters will eventually reuse these three, but the more direct tributes are Kamen Rider Drive where the basic, "unevolved" forms of every monster will have one of these themes, and the 50th anniversary entry Kamen Rider Revice, where three of the main ensemble of Riders are bat, spider, and cobra-themed.

In 2019, Roman Reigns suffers several attacks (including being nearly hit by a car) and the mystery behind who was responsible drags on for a while. In both cases, the culprit was revealed to be a Beneath Suspicion mid-carder. note Though with the Austin case, Rikishi was revealed to have done it by order of Triple H, while, in the latter example, Erick Rowan seems to be acting on his own, doing it simply because he could.

Then, after Tony was thought dead in The '90s, Rhodey took over the Iron Man identity once more, and later became War Machine after Tony returned. Rhodey then became Iron Man for a third time after Tony was forced to temporarily retire following the 2011 Fear Itself crossover. When Tony was rendered comatose at the close of 2016's Civil War II, his legacy was briefly carried on by both Riri Williams (in Invincible Iron Man) and Victor Von Doom (in Infamous Iron Man).

The film itself came out eight years after the prior entry in the series, Spy Kids 3D, and ten years since the first one. The children who were in the target audience when the original films came out were all grown up by the time All the Time in the World came out, while the children in the contemporary target audience would have probably never heard of the series before (after all, it didn't exactly stay in the public consciousness after it left theaters).

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_6d31710b	comment	There are strong parallels between CM Punk's mid-summer 2011 storyline (TL;DR: his contract is revealed to be expiring the night that he competes for the WWE Championship, before which he proceeds to verbally shit all over WWE under Vince McMahon and John Cena's hegemony, threatening to take the belt to other promotions, and then actually won the belt in his hometown while letting his contract run out) and the "Summer of Punk" angle in Ring of Honor (his supposedly final match was for the ROH World Title, which he won only to reveal that he was going to WWE, sign his WWE contract on the title and then would be "chased" by the ROH roster attempting to take it back before he could run off with it). TNA subverting the rule caused problems when they rehashed the entire storyline late 2013, with AJ Styles as Punk and Dixie Carter as Vince McMahon. Since this is two years removed from the original storyline that skyrocketed Punk to superstardom, everyone noticed the similarities so the storyline kind of fell flat. It did not help that Dixie Carter made a poor man's Vince. However, what probably killed the whole thing all together were AJ's contract negotiations at the time, much like how Punk's were disputed during the summer of 2011. AJ Styles, one of the TNA Originals who has stuck around since the company's very inception, the epitome of Undying Loyalty, finally left TNA, forcing the company to remove the title from him and kill his TNA career. AJ not sticking around destroyed the entire storyline and most likely TNA's last hope for a comeback.

They're a company which makes bots which are designed to waste the time of telemarketers and other unwanted callers. Though it's possible that some of the callers will figure out what's going on if their calls are picked up by bots enough, the turnover rate in the telemarketing industry is huge. Therefore, at any given time, it's likely that that any call redirected to one of the bots will be handled by someone who is still rather new on the job. That said, this doesn't necessarily prevent supervisors from warning agents about these bots, which means that the company must still be innovative in coming up with new tactics, routines and bots to try to stay ahead of the game.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1 self-consciously makes use of this by having similar plotlines (time travel, alternate dimensions) refer to or even depend on previous episodes with similar plots. Each time they encounter the same phenomena they will always recap the events of the previous mission, and try to figure out if what they learned that time can be useful again. In Stargate Atlantis sometimes the same solution is used again (or the same problem), with a twist. Sometimes if the plot is similar to that from another media, this will even be lampshaded within the story, such as an episode involving a "Groundhog Day" Loop when O'Neill referred to the villain who had engineered it as "The King of Groundhog Day". The Stargate franchise has never been afraid of metahumor. A number of SG-1 episodes hinge on the US military providing technical assistance to a sci-fi show about a secret military team that covertly fights aliens, in order to give themselves plausible deniability. Consider for a moment the plot of SG-1, and that they are Backed by the Pentagon to the point of casting actual American military personnel for bit characters (including two Chiefs of Staff playing themselves), and you can only imagine how fun the Wild Mass Guessing for that show can be.

The episode's plot focuses on the gang trying to find a way to survive when the Internet goes out, and learning about things that can be done without the Internet, like reading encyclopedias and using an instant camera. However, the things they choose to entertain themselves with are claimed to be "unfamiliar" to the characters when they have appeared in previous episodes of the series. This was likely done because it is relatable to the current demographic watching the show.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_755c9804	comment	LEGO will always have a Space-like, underwater-like, castle-like or robot-like theme. Only the characters and sets are new. Justified in that the sets will contain enough new parts or features to make it worthwhile. Example from the Indiana Jones-like Lines: Adventurers (1998 - 2000), Orient Expedition (2003), Indiana Jones (2008 - 2009), Atlantis (2010 - 2011, is also underwater-like), PharaohÂ´s Quest (2011). And every generation of the castle theme has a catapult set. In the town theme, new police and fire stations are released on a 3-year cycle, like clockwork. Lego's Star Wars line has run long enough that they now rerelease vehicles that already got playsets. This began in 2004 exclusively for OT sets because LEGO's style changed widely and made some sets look side-by-side like cars from the 50s next to ones from the 90s, and flesh colored figures were introduced. Now the quality of the design updates vary as many models canÂ´t be designed that much better unless they change the size and price range (Slave One, for example, has been the same thing with different colors and functions since 2002). They run with this trope sometimes. A set of smaller police cars and firetrucks were on shelves constantly from 2005 till 2013 because they figured kids would need basic things like them all the time.

Outlaw biker stable Aces & Eights picks up on this and tries to win AJ to their side, to which they almost succeed when Kurt Angle is attacked by AJ while wearing one of their vests. However, this is short-lived as AJ shows he's not playing for Aces & Eights either and lashes out against them too, stating he is "his own man". Clearly drawing inspiration from WCW teasing Sting joining the nWo in 1996 (almost unashamedly rehashing if not for this trope's existence).

The attitude seems to have been, 'Well, we've done this plot in four other shows, but have we ever done it on this show? No? Greenlight that sucker! Who wants pizza?" Oh, look, more aliens in Nazi uniforms. (Doctor Who is guilty of this as well.) Allusions to the new age movement and JFK's shooting are also incredibly common. Another Trek standby is the "everybody on this planet is a hologram" twist. Turning the Holodeck into a death trap is a favorite of Next Generation and Voyager. Just which characters are placed in peril is subject to change... the formula isn't. Would that it only happened once every two years. Lampshaded in Deep Space Nine: It was parodied on Futurama when Kif shows Amy the HoloShed. He states that nothing in the simulation will hurt her, unless there's a malfunction and everything comes to life again, but that hardly ever happens. Several minutes later, the greatest villains in history (including an ax-wielding Evil Lincoln) show up just after a malfunction. They know the drill and start smashing stuff. In another Futurama episode, a Star Trek TOS-obsessed Energy Being forces the Planet Express crew and the TOS cast to fight to the death. When asked where he got that "idiotic idea", the alien rattles off the numbers of four TOS episodes where that happened (and Fry adds one he missed, much to the alien's chagrin). Every iteration of Trek does Moby Schtick. The first instance of a Moby Dick plot was seen as far back as 1967's "The Doomsday Machine" and "Obsession." This plot is reused in two of the movies: Khan with Kirk as his whale and, in First Contact, Picard has the Borg as his whale. Patrick Stewart actually played Ahab two years after First Contact in the Disney version of Moby Dick. Star Trek Into Darkness flips the script by having Kirk with Khan as the whale (and after Kirk's apparent death, Spock with Khan as the whale). All three films compare the situation to Moby Dick. And for Captain Janeway, we had "Year of Hell" and "Equinox" (both featuring Janeway as Ahab), followed by "Bliss", which guest-starred W. Morgan Sheppard as an alien hunting a giant, telepathic pitcher plant. Futurama parodied this one, as well, with Leela becoming obsessed with getting revenge on an actual space whale, and in the end found out the whale actually feeds on obsession, and antagonizes spaceship pilots because they tend to get obsessed very easily. Voyager and Enterprise are especially bad at this, leading to criticism that both ignore their premises to be "Next Gen lite" and recycle old episodes in the belief no one would recall episodes from any prior series. Hence why many Enterprise episodes feature technology and species wildly inappropriate for the time; they were introduced back in 1987, and nobody would remember back that far. Not that they cared. And why Voyager does things like base an episode around the legal issue of the rights of artificial lifeforms, even though TNG had resolved that early on. Parodied in Voltaire's "USS Make-Shit-Up". One verse expresses deja vu over Voyager, then has a flash of memory — it was "way back in the sixties, when they called it Lost in Space." However, as with this trope in general, certain complaints can fall into the trope of They Copied It, Now It Sucks. For example, even though VOY's "Author, Author" and TNG's "The Measure of a Man" both deal with the rights of artificial life forms, there is an important difference: Data is an android who is considered a person by almost everyone, whereas the Doctor is an intangible hologram intended as a short-term supplement to the medical team, and has a harder time getting people to regard him as a person and not just a piece of technology. His lack of a permanent physical body is one of the key differences between the two. The fact that Data had over a decade earlier established the precedent for artificial life being recognized under Federation law is never even mentioned in the Voyager episode, though, which is rather odd. The villain from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, VGer, is a larger version of Nomad, a villain from the original series. More interestingly, elements of VGer were recycled into the Borg Collective, and TOS' Trelane was the influence for John de Lancie's Q.note This was not lost on Peter David, who made Trelane a Q (non-canonically) in the novel Q-Squared.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: In old-school Silver Age Superman and Superboy comics, plots were reused frequently, and not just in a "this bears a passing resemblance to that other story" way. More like, Jimmy becomes a werewolf under circumstances that are similar to but completely unrelated to the time it happened three years ago. (Real years, not comic years.) Superboy also became the leader of a wolf pack twice. And Lois Lane and Lana Lang got super-powers on enough occasions you may as well consider them reserve superheroes. A recurring plot during the early years of Silver Age Supergirl was Linda Lee getting adopted by one couple and then returned to the Midvale Orphanage because her new adoptive "parents" turned out to be exploitative crooks. Linda getting adopted for real in The Unknown Supergirl put an end to those plotlines. Craig "Mr. Silver Age" Shutt, in his book Baby Boomer Comics, cataloged 53 "duplicated" Superman stories. Typically, the rewrites would be printed 5-15 years after the original stories, but one Lois Lane story was reused only one year after its first telling. Mon-El's first appearance in 1961 was also an example of this, as it was a rehash of a 1953 story called "Superman's Big Brother," which had introduced a similar character named Halk Kar. This happened in the Golden Age too, when the exact same stories were sometimes used only with new drawn pictures. Through the ages there have been a large number of villains claiming responsibility for the destruction of Krypton: Klax-Ar in Superboy #67 (1958), Raspor in Action Comics #338 (1966), Black Zero in Superman #205 (1968), -possibly- Brainiac in Superman: Brainiac (2008), Rogol Zaar in Man of Steel (2018)... Girl Power (2005), Last Daughter of Krypton (2011), Red Daughter of Krypton (2014), The Killers of Krypton (2018), Supergirl Special (2023)...all feature Supergirl learning to get over her grief, anger and feelings of abandonment and accepting Earth as her new home. "Supergirl and Power Girl are at odds with each other" has been another constantly recycled plotline since the late 90's. Man of Steel (2018) and Superman (Brian Michael Bendis). A villain claims responsibility for the destruction of Krypton, rather than Krypton being destroyed due to natural causes. A new Superboy is introduced, who gets invited to join the Legion of Super-Heroes. Nearly every decade someone writes a story where Superman is split into two "twins", each with different powers: The Amazing Story of Superman Red and Superman Blue (1963), Two for the Death of One (1983), Superman Red/Blue (1997) and Superman Reborn (2017) are only some examples. Every so often, Superman gets infected with a seemingly incurable alien illness. The Virus X in The Last Days of Superman (1962) and The Leper from Krypton (1968), the Bloodmorel spores in The Jungle Line (1985)... Every so often, Superman writers rehash the "Superman goes back to Krypton" plot from 1960 story Superman's Return to Krypton. "Return to Krypton" (2000) and "Krypton Returns" (2013) are only some examples.

As the theory goes, any wait shorter than seven years may result in fans noticing the rehashing, and calling the promotion on the re-use. After that, a few diehard longtime fans may notice and become upset, but almost everybody will accept the product as new.

Fast forward to 2011 and the Vengeance PPV and the spot happens all over again, this time with Mark Henry and the Big Show, again. Unlike Lesnar/Show, which was at the end of the show, Henry/Show was followed by a WWE Championship match with John Cena and Alberto Del Rio. It was a Last Man Standing Match, which worked out amazingly well. And then in 2017, the same thing happened a third time, this time with Braun Strowman and, you guessed it, the Big Show. Interestingly enough, Big Show was the victim of the "superplex" all three times.

Both of these are extremely similar to earlier storylines done in Astro City. House of M. How many times have the heroes woken up one morning to see reality has been changed drastically and they need to fix it? Enough that Cap and Hawkeye's reaction back in "The Morgan Conquest" was along the lines of "Not again!" The Time Runs Out crossover between The Avengers and New Avengers, which was capped off with a Secret Wars (2015) revival, has a number of similarities to Civil War. The only major conceptual shakeup is that this time, it's Iron Man and his team of heroes who are considered fugitives, rather than Captain America's.

For example, multicolor cards were a theme in 1994's Legends, 2000's Invasion, 2005's Ravnica: City of Guilds, 2008's Shards of Alara, and 2012's Return to Ravnica. Speaking of Return to Ravnica, they've settled on seven years as being about the right amount of time to revisit a setting, as was done with both the Mirrodin and Ravnica settings. (Although they broke this habit by revisiting Zendikar after six years, and Innistrad after only four and a half.) There is an underlying game-balance justification that influences some of this, since a common format for sanctioned tournaments allows only cards from a certain number of the most recent releases to be used, about two years or so. Older cards are periodically rotated out of the whitelist, so one of the easier ways to maintain balance is to make sure some newly-released cards fill similar niches to ones that were recently rotated out.

The status quo is irrevocably changed, either in The Clone Saga, Spider-Man: Chapter One, or Brand New Day. Maybe Aunt May learns Peter's identity, or gets Killed Off for Real. Or, someone in the Rogues Gallery gets Killed Off for Real, replaced by someone else taking up that villain's identity. The original villain will never return — until making an unexpected return. The Clone Saga, the remake of a 1970's story arc which debuted the Jackal (himself a low-rent replacement for the Green Goblin), hit the Spider-books in the early 90's with a similar goal in mind. By the end, was widely considered a huge failure, and concluded in the exact same manner as the original. Marvel ended up backtracking on many of its "big changes." Used as justification by the editors for the One More Day continuity reboot, under the theory that if they stuck to their guns through reader complaints for five years, no one would have enough of an attention span to remember it ever happened. An idea that might have been valid had it been Pre-Internetnote For instance, the fact that the marriage it retconned was also an editorial event was forgotten and unknown to all but the few paltry comics fans who read the titles in The '80s when the original audience had grown up and moved on, and only returned when they got word that their favorite pair was becoming canon through newspapers, but although the post-OMD titles are ancient history by now and many successful stories were written after that, including an alternate continuity The Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows, the fact is that the comic remains fresh in infamy over a decade later as one of the all-time worst Spider-Man stories.

In the Legend War sequence in the first episode, teams with the same theme can be seen fighting alongside one another (such as the Kakurangers and Hurricanegers). Further, a Running Gag has the Gokaiger getting teams mixed up (such as their changing into the Turborangers during the Carranger tribute episode). Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman (1990), Rescue Sentai GoGoFive (1999), Mahou Sentai Magiranger (2005), and Shuriken Sentai Ninninger (2015) all use the idea that the heroes are a Super Family Team composed of siblings (or cousins, in Ninninger's case). Power Rangers RPM (2009) also recycled a plotline from Power Rangers in Space (1998), beat for beat: A mysterious loner (Andros/Dillon) joins an established team looking for his missing sister. Said sister is now the resident villainess (Astronema/Tenaya 7), not remembering her pre-abduction life. Halfway though the series, she discovers she has a brother and attempts a Heelâ€“Face Turn, only for the villains to brainwash her with cybernetic implants. The Rangers make things right in the finale. The Titanium Ranger's arc from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue (2000) is very similar to the Green Ranger's from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (1993), right down to the plot point about the new Ranger having to be careful about Morphing.

Booster Gold's storyline was originally going to be finding evidence that the timeline was broken, falling apart at the seams, and he would need to fix it to restore order. As the four writers of the book got to work though, they realized each of them had been through this before and none of them really wanted to do it again ("Unless there was a prize for being the hundredth people to write one"). Thus before they got too far into the story, they reworked Booster's storyline so that he spent it butting heads with a new hero called Supernova who turns out to be Booster (isn't time travel fun?), which led into a conspiracy about a time-traveling superhero.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_bfd1a7b7	comment	It seems the "Seven-Year Rule" not only affects the audience but the characters themselves too. At WrestleMania 31, Stephanie McMahon confronted The Rock and said he's too honorable to hit a woman, capping it off with a slap to the face. The Rock, taking the high road, tacitly agreed by going into the audience, getting female MMA fighter Ronda Rousey to join him in the ring, and having her do what he is unwilling to. However he needn't have gone to all the trouble, since video evidence is on record of him doing exactly that fifteen years prior at the same event, WrestleMania 2000. His victim? Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, whom he delivered a Rock Bottom and People's Elbow to in the finale of the show following his loss in the Fatal Four-Way championship match. In fact Stephanie's actions almost mirror her actions from the latter event (slapping The Rock in an attempt to provoke him), except in this case he simply didn't call her bluff.note Now it does make sense for him not to have struck her since WWE's values have changed since 2000 but it is still rather humorous for them to build up to Rousey's involvement in such a way that would make people want to remember this specific incident.

Hogan did it again on a televised episode of WWF All American Wrestling on September 11, 1983, in a match Gorilla Monsoon refereed but evidently forgot had happened by Wrestlemania III less than 4 years later. By that time the WWF had attracted so many new fans, who couldn't look things up on the internet yet, so most were none the wiser. (It also helped that Andre was at least a hundred pounds heavier at WrestleMania III than he was in the previous years, so Hogan slamming him at that point was a much more impressive feat.)

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_c7f59f7d	comment	Teen Titans: The writers of Teen Titans have also maintained a consistent attachment to the concept "Raven goes evil because of her demonic father". Or, in the case of Tom Taylor's Titans run, Raven's demonic side splits off from her, becoming Doctor Hate, and then imprisons her to infiltrate the Titans and work towards the goal of freeing Trigon. This is at least in part because of Marv Wolfman's immense success with the New Teen Titans, which was at the time DC's best selling and most highly acclaimed title for a good while. Many storylines attempt to ape the success of his, with some success and some... not so much success at times. Not just Raven. If it's Wednesday, there's a good chance they'll be fighting a group of evil Titans. Or one of them will die. Also count the number of stories where Cyborg angsts about being a machine, only to eventually come to terms with his appearance until the next time. Titans: Paper, Scissors, Stone actually lampshades this last part as an explicit and inseparable part of the Titans mythos, and one that the new group's leader failed to take into account when she set out to recreate the circumstances of the team's forming. In an oddly specific example, issue #2 of the original series introduced Garn, a teenage caveman who ended up in the present. Issue #32 then introduced Gnarrk, a similarly named teenage caveman who also ended up in the present.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_cb8f7af1	comment	The Four Horsemen first formed in 1986 with Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, and Tully Blanchard, and at one time held the NWA World Heavyweight Title, the NWA World (Mid-Atlantic, the only recognized version by that point) Tag Team Titles, and the NWA World Television Title. They went through a few different lineups on and off until Real Life Pointy-Haired Boss Jim Herd fired Flair from WCW before the infamous WCW Great American Bash 1991 PPV. There was a brief reformation in 1993, but the group didn't really come together full force until Flair turned on Sting during their match against Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman at WCW Halloween Havoc 1995, October 30, 1995, and the introduction of Chris Benoit as the fourth member the next night on WCW Monday Nitro. Pillman left after a Worked Shoot with "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan at WCW SuperBrawl VI, intended to put over Pillman's "Loose Cannon" persona, in February 1996. Former Chicago Bears football player turned color-commentator Steve "Mongo" McMichael was added in his in-ring debut when he turned on his partner, fellow football player Kevin Greene, in their match with Flair and Arn at WCW Great American Bash 96. Jeff Jarrett was added in October 1996, and Arn had his last match at the start of 1997, declaring his retirement on the August 25, 1997 Nitro, with Curt Hennig accepting Arn's "spot" in the group. Hennig turned on the Horsemen in the War Games match against the nWo (Kevin Nash/Syxx Sean Waltman/Konnan/Buff Bagwell) at WCW Fall Brawl, September 14, 1997, shutting the group down for a year. Then Real Life Jerkass Bad Boss Eric Bischoff sued Flair after Flair had no-shown a taping of WCW Thunder in April 1998. Flair returned on the September 14 Nitro, as Arn and long-time Horsemen manager James J Dillon introduced the new lineup of the Horsemen: Benoit, McMichael, Dean Malenko (who had been pushing Arn for months to reform the group) and Flair. McMichael left quietly in early 1999, and the group dissolved in the middle of the year. Flair started accompanying Triple H to his matches starting after WWE Unforgiven in October 2002. Batista moved from WWE SmackDown! to Raw and joined them, with Randy Orton completing the group on January 20, 2003, and the name Evolution debuting two weeks later.

The Vision is dismantled or destroyed. Alternatively, Vision and Scarlet Witch have relationship troubles or pine for one another despite dating other people. Vision losing and then regaining his capacity to experience emotions has also happened several times now. The Avengers have had no less than three separate stories with the basic premise of "The team is criticized for its complete lack of diversity. An inexperienced/unqualified black superhero is added to the roster, creating friction with the white Avengers. Drama ensues." First time it was The Falcon, second time it was Rage, and third time it was Triathlon. Walt Simonson's lead-up to Inferno (1988), Brian Bendis' Avengers Disassembled (2004), and Mark Waid, Al Ewing and Jim Zub's Avengers: No Surrender (2018) all revolve around the current line-up of Avengers being decimated, with a few members of the team even dying or getting badly injured, in order to set up a more high-profile roster under a new creative team.

Since this is two years removed from the original storyline that skyrocketed Punk to superstardom, everyone noticed the similarities so the storyline kind of fell flat. It did not help that Dixie Carter made a poor man's Vince. However, what probably killed the whole thing all together were AJ's contract negotiations at the time, much like how Punk's were disputed during the summer of 2011. AJ Styles, one of the TNA Originals who has stuck around since the company's very inception, the epitome of Undying Loyalty, finally left TNA, forcing the company to remove the title from him and kill his TNA career. AJ not sticking around destroyed the entire storyline and most likely TNA's last hope for a comeback.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_d4fe015f	comment	Sometimes happens on QI. If watching the show from the beginning, you will occasionally hear the same joke twice (not as a Running Gag), or hear a question based on something that was already discussed at length in a previous episode. One example is the story about how Kangaroos got their name and what it means. This story myth is told twice at length in two different episodes. The second time offers no reference to the first, so it isn't an In-Joke. In Series H, Stephen Fry finished one episode with a scat joke about pathologists and dead bodies. This joke was already told by Alan Davies, several seasons back. In Series J, Stephen asks how elephants drink. Alan suggests using its trunk and gets a forfeit, and Jimmy Carr quips that they drink to forget. Back in series A, during a question about elephants' lack of tolerance for alcohol, Alan made the same mistake (without forfeit) and Clive Anderson made the same joke. In the "Fire and Freezing" episode, one of the facts is that fire stations are now often built one story high to avoid spending time getting downstairs, even by way of the pole. In "Inland Revenue," when fireman's poles are mentioned again, Al Murray asks why they don't just build them one story high if speed is such a concern. Stephen and the other panellists come up with reasons like needing room for the fire engines, and nobody seems to remember learning otherwise. They occasionally do catch these (more than once in the form of Alan contributing an interesting fact only for Stephen to point out that he learned it on QI). This is subverted when they ask questions which have been asked before, and (predictably) Alan provides the previous answer only to find out it's now wrong. The most famous example is the question, "How many moons does the Earth have?". In the A Series "Astronomy" episode the answer is 2, due to the inclusion of Cruithne. By "Beavers", the answer is either one or five due to the discovery of three more satellites, and if Cruithne is a moon then so are they. In "Knowledge", the answer is at least 18 thousand due to the discovery of "mini-moons". And by "Landmarks", the Earth has no moon; the Earth and the Moon are instead a binary planet system. The "Knowledge" episode was based on the fact that the answers to many questions that they had asked in the past were proven false by the time the 11th series aired due to new scientific discoveries. The episode rewarded the panelists points they were statistically owed for having possibly been right after all these years. Series mainstay Alan Davies is given 737.66 points; by the end of the episode he's lost 50 through his usual wrong answers.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Series: Due to being aimed at children around the ages of 5-10, the show's audience would grow up and be replaced by a new set of children about every four or five years during Ash's long journey. Easily done because much of the show is focused on Slice of Life episodes with occasional focus on Ash's many tournament arcs to become PokÃ©mon Master. Probably the most obvious is that every time Ash goes to a new region, he meets new people who will soon be his new traveling companions, and Pikachu will give them a shocking encounter (until Sun & Moon). This mirrors the beginning of the first season, when Ash stole Misty's bicycle and ended up destroying it. Starting with Advanced Generation, the writers also employ the Bag of Spilling by having Ash drop off all of his Pokemon save Pikachu to train new Mons. Expect Pikachu's battle prowess to be nerfed or his opponents to be made far tougher than in the games just to keep the tension flowing. A more minor note is Ash often having to relearn certain facets like type (dis)advantages and catching mechanics, just for the benefit of demonstrating it for the audience despite having already gotten his head around them in his original adventure. Several series however, like PokÃ©mon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, are a notable aversions, where this is logically passed on to characters like May and Bonnie, who are just as inexperienced as Ash was when he first started, meaning Ash has the opportunity to teach them himself. This is also seen in PokÃ©mon Horizons: The Series, where Nidothing is now the one teaching inexperienced trainers these topics in her streams. One of the most blatant (and non-filler) examples: In Hoenn, Ash enters a PokÃ©Ringer event in which flying Pokemon compete to collect rings and place them on goal posts. Ash uses his Taillow, a bird PokÃ©mon, which evolves during the competition and surprises its opponent by hitting the ring onto the goal with its wing, rather than carrying it in its beak. An episode that aired about five years later repeated this plot exactly; just replace Hoenn with Sinnoh, Taillow with Staravia, and Swellow with Staraptor.note And James with Paul, though James also competes in the repeat (he would borrow one of Jessie's PokÃ©mon, using Dustox in the original and Yanmega in the repeat). Both episodes even use the exact same background music during their respective climaxes. Kalos also had a similar event in the Sky Relay. This is thought to be why the Mewtwo in PokÃ©mon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened is a new character, instead of the one from PokÃ©mon: The First Movie and PokÃ©mon: Mewtwo Returns, both of which originally released/aired more than a decade before... which ended up being something of a misfire, since TV channels ended up airing those films as part of the hype for the movie coming out, meaning that new child audiences would be familiar with the original Mewtwo! Until PokÃ©mon the Series: XY, every new generation of companions (Misty & Brock/Tracey, May & Max, Dawn, Iris & Cilan) has featured an episode where most of the cast and/or their PokÃ©mon ends up getting afflicted by Stun Spore, leaving them paralyzed. It would come down to the remaining cast to seek out a type of plant that grows at the bottom of a lake in order to cure them. This would always involve a water-type PokÃ©mon either joining the cast or overcoming one of its own problems... Or both, in the case of PokÃ©mon the Series: Black & White. If Ash gets a Fire-type starter PokÃ©mon, expect it to be abused or abandoned in some way or other and had belonged to a previous trainer; in Quilava's case, however, it is wild, and is about to be caught by an abusive trainer. This pattern is broken with Litten, who is simply a wild PokÃ©mon looking after an elderly Stoutland until it dies from old age. PokÃ©mon Journeys: The Series also has Ash capture an abandoned PokÃ©mon, but rather than be a Fire-type starter, it's instead a Gengar, which is Ghost/Poison. With the exception of "Advanced Generation", there will be another walking PokÃ©mon belonging to one of the companions-of-the-season: Misty's Togepi, Dawn's Piplup, Iris' Axew, Clemont's Dedenne, and Snowy (Lillie's Vulpix). None of them after Togepi would evolve onscreen; Piplup and Snowy have expressed a refusal to evolve, Dedenne can't evolve, and Axew departed before he could evolve and reappeared as a Haxorus in Journeys. Goh's Scorbunny broke this pattern by evolving into Raboot within 15 episodes of his debut, only to be replaced by Sobble and then Grookey. In some more specific examples, PokÃ©mon the Series: Diamond and Pearl reuses individual plots. "Pika and Goliath" retreads "Electric Shock Showdown" (though it at least also has flashbacks to said episode) and establishes for the new audience why Pikachu hasn't evolved while showing off a battle with a Jerkass trainer's Raichu. "Crossing Paths", "Cottonee in Love", "Butterfree and Me", "To Catch a PokÃ©mon Smuggler", and "Under Color of Darkness" are "Bye Bye Butterfree" but starring Jessie's Dustox, a wild Cottonee, another Butterfree, a wild Vivillon, and Goh's White Floette, respectively. The PokÃ©mon the Series: Sun & Moon episode "No Stone Unturned" retreads both "Electric Shock Showdown" and "Pika and Goliath" in having an unevolved PokÃ©mon (Rowlet) lose to its evolution (Dartrix), affirm its refusal to evolve, and then rechallenge the evolution and win. It also retreads "Stopped in the Name of Love" with Rowlet being given an Everstone. When Misty and Brock, Ash's two original companions and without a doubt the most recognizable of the human cast except for him, reappear in PokÃ©mon the Series: Sun & Moon, the anime has to reintroduce them. This is because neither had appeared in almost ten years and (assuming they don't watch reruns or didn't play either HGSS or BW2) the contemporary demographic didn't remember who they are. "Not Caving Under Pressure" retreads "Stopped in the Name of Love", but with Lillie's Vulpix, Snowy, in the place of Dawn's Piplup. Their reasons for refusing to evolve are similar: Piplup doesn't want to evolve out of fear of becoming disobedient like Mamoswinenote in the dub, he refuses to evolve because he wants to preserve his memories of his first encounter with Dawn, while Snowy becomes fearful of change after seeing an Alolan Sandshrew evolve. The 2018 Halloween Special "A Haunted House for Everyone" is a remake of the 2007 Diamond and Pearl episode "Malice in Wonderland", since both feature a Mismagius trapping everyone in an illusion. It also has several elements of the 2004 Advance Generation episode "Take This House and Shuppet" and the early 2014 XY episode "Seeking Shelter from the Storm". One of the more egregious examples is "Drawn with the Wind", which is a rehash of "They Might Not Be Giants", but with Eevee, Shaymin, and Meltan in place of the Alolan starters. The episodes, both Easter Specials, are 101note 100 in English because SM064 was banned for blackface episodes apart, and in the same series to boot! It can be assumed the writers believed none of the kids from 2017 would be watching the anime by 2019. This happened again with "Pikachu's Exciting Adventure!", a Bizarro Episode that aired less than two months after "Drawn with the Wind" and reuses the same plot for the third time, this time with Pikachu, Rowlet, Lycanroc, and Meltan. Ash has undergone a Disney Death and his PokÃ©mon sobbing over him has been reused in at least three different films. At least once it's reversed, with Pikachu being the one to "die". One Diamond and Pearl episode has James pretending to be Jessie and entering a contest because Jessie is too sick to do so. Years later, an XY episode has Serena pretending to be Ash and battling with a trainer because Ash is too sick to do so. Episode 1068 is about Ash encountering Celebi and getting taken back in time and meeting Professor Kukui when he was younger. This may sound familiar to anyone who's seen PokÃ©mon 4Ever, though that was with Professor Oak. Both of them are even titled "A Timeless Adventure" in Japanese. Exaggerated with "Absol Absolved!", the 64th episode of Journeys, which had the exact same plot as the 53rd episode "Healing the Healer!", which aired three months earlier. The episode also retreaded "Absol-ute Disaster", a 2004 Advance Generation episode that also featured an Absol.

For the last several decades, every Arthurian or Robin Hood film has been a "bold new take" that removes the characters' most recognizable elements. But since there hasn't been a straight adaptation of these stories since the early 90s, people don't really remember what they're supposed to be like, so a revised version doesn't have the same impact.

The two hadn't wrestled in five years, and in the interim the business had experienced almost 100% fan turnover. Ergo, a slick updating of five-year-old spots was probably the top feud of the year.

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_e6d9e8bb	comment	Sentai's Super Hero Time partner, Kamen Rider, inevitably runs into this as another seasonal theme-heavy Long Runner. As almost every annual season is a standalone story, the combination of new writers, Fleeting Demographic, and general guidelines of the premise ("Henshin Hero transforms into multiple forms to fight Monsters of the Week while heroic Riders, villainous Riders, and Super Modes all with their own gimmicks debut"), certain plot concepts get repeated quite often, sometimes back-to-back. The second-billed Rider, either appearing early in the show or as a Sixth Ranger in shows with fewer Riders, initially conflicts with the protagonist before they eventually settle their differences and unite against the true villains. Ryuki, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, Decade, W, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid, Zi-O, and Zero-One all use this concept to some extent. Revice Justifies it, with Kamen Rider Evil actually possessing the heroic character who goes on to be the proper Secondary Rider. This often applies to actual Sixth Ranger Riders who aren't the Secondary Rider, as well, including Gills & Another Agito in Agito, Leangle in Blade, Drake & Sasword in Kabuto, Saga in Kiva, Mage in Wizard, Marika & Zangetsu Shin in Gaim, Necrom in Ghost, Para-DX in Ex-Aid, Grease in Build, Woz in Zi-O, Thouser in Zero-One, and Sabela & Durendal in Saber. "Evil dad", or at least "dad who fights the heroes", has reached meme-status among the fandom for how often it's used. See the Kamen Rider entry on Archnemesis Dad for examples. Both Double (2009) and Revice feature a mysterious, masked, black-coated benefactor to a secondary Rider who can create Rider gear, is revealed to have a connection to other major characters and to the origin of the Riders, and wears their mask to cover serious burns. For less specific reused concepts: Kamen Rider Agito (2001), Kamen Rider 555 (2003), and Kamen Rider Kiva (2008) all used highly similar Poor Communication Kills storylines (detailed on that trope's page), as part of writer Toshiki Inoue's Signature Style. Agito and Kamen Rider Build (2017) both have Amnesiac Heroes, Kamen Rider Kuuga (2000) and Kamen Rider OOO (2010) both star carefree globe-trotters, Kamen Rider Double (2009) and Kamen Rider Drive (2014) both star Bunny-Ears Lawyer detectives with overbearing female partners, and Kamen Rider Ryuki (2002), Kamen Rider Gaim (2013), and Kamen Rider Geats (2022) all feature a war between a much larger cast of Kamen Riders than usual. Three series feature Cards of Power as the main gimmick of the Riders: The Advent Cards of Kamen Rider Ryuki (2002), the Rouze Cards of Kamen Rider Blade (2004), and the Rider Cards of Kamen Rider Decade (2009). This is lampshaded in Super Hero Taisen, when Decade, Blade, and Ryuki are each given a card from the Tensou Sentai Goseiger, the Sentai team which used cards, to help defeat Doktor G. Kamen Rider Decade (2009) and Kamen Rider Zi-O (2018) are both milestone celebrations (the tenth and twentieth Heisei riders, respectively), and both feature Riders who travel to meet past Riders and use them as the source of their power-ups. In terms of season themes rather than plots: While the franchise post-Showa repeats series themes markedly less often than Sentai, certain iconic motifs are frequently reused as a form of tribute. Aside from the oft-recurring classic insect motifs, the most obvious example (and truest to the trope) is the "bat-spider-cobra" trio of themes for enemy monsters, the former two being some of the first-ever monster themes in the series and the latter being the motif of the first monster to receive a power-up in the franchise. Almost every series with animal-themed monsters will eventually reuse these three, but the more direct tributes are Kamen Rider Drive where the basic, "unevolved" forms of every monster will have one of these themes, and the 50th anniversary entry Kamen Rider Revice, where three of the main ensemble of Riders are bat, spider, and cobra-themed. Riders with multiple form changes with Animal Motifs have become increasingly common in the franchise. Kamen Rider OOO did it first with mix-and-matching three animals being the protagonist's gimmick, followed by many of Build's forms using animal motifs mix-and-matched with miscellaneous "abiotic" items, Zero-One featuring animal-themed forms for almost all Riders, Saber ending up with several animal-themed forms as a result of its book theme, and Revice once again uses animal themes in almost the exact same way as Zero-One, with the catch being that form changes are also themed after past Riders. Geats, another mix-and-match Rider like OOO and Build, uses Animal Motifs in the form of the Riders' identifying masks rather than the actual form changes. In a franchise as thematically diverse as Kamen Rider, the design similarity between Kamen Rider Wizard (2012) and Kamen Rider Saber (2020) is rather conspicuous: a show with a magical premise starring a red and black Kamen Rider with a waistcoat, whose main form is based on fire and his own dragon familiar. Kamen Rider: The First (2005) and Shin Kamen Rider (2023) are both theatrical continuity reboots of the first Kamen Rider (1971). Kamen Rider BLACK SUN (2022) seeks to reboot Kamen Rider BLACK (1987), although apart from borrowing some names and character designs from his inspiration, it's an In Name Only adaptation of its source material.

In fact, in the franchise's first year, several sets of characters who were just each other in different colors came out all at once, with the toys sold on shelves right next to each other and the cartoon and comic book making no effort to disguise their identicalness. In fact, the cartoon uses variously-colored Starscreams as generic Mooks known as "Seekers". Interestingly, this element has actually become embraced by much of the Transformers fan base—when a new toy is released of a character who was once well known for having a variety of repaints, demand will rise among fans for recolored versions of that toy representing his recolors from prior series. In addition to the aforementioned Starscream, Bumblebee being recolored as Cliffjumper is a common recurring theme, with a few exceptions. Additionally, Transformers recolors are rather atypical in that they usually represent completely new characters who just look similar to the old ones, as opposed to old characters in different colors (which, conversely, tend to be slow sellers).

Fleeting Demographic Rule / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Originally, this practice started as something of an insurance policy for all sides — if the show did well, great, it would be signed up for more than 65 episodes. But if it bombed and was canceled, 65 was the minimum most stations would purchase for syndication (allowing them to run the show each weekday for 13 weeks without repeats). By ensuring that there would be at least that number of episodes, the producers hoped to guarantee they would make at least some money off the show, and this worked reasonably well. (Famously, the first seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation were produced under such a deal.) Add in the idea that your shows are interchangeable dreck that nobody cares too closely about, and you end up switching shows each time the grace period expires.
