Bait and Switch Credits/Playing With: Difference between revisions

* '''Subverted''': The opening credits of Galaxy Defender Bob is about Bob in his [[Humongous Mecha]] saving the universe from a comically-evil alien empire. But Galaxy Defender Bob is about a man fighting his depression. ''But'', on closer inspection, each alien monster in the opening represent Bob's inner demon.

* '''Double Subverted''': Except that when Bob does battle his inner demons in a [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]], Bob is a samurai fighting an entirely-human group of bandits.

* '''Deconstructed''': The viewers feel cheated, and the rating of Galaxy Defender Bob flops.

* '''Reconstructed''': But Galaxy Defender Bob attracts a lot of nerds, and a <s>[[TV Tropes]] page almost as long as Warhammer40k one</s> wiki was created for it, drawing more nerds into it. And then Galaxy Defender Bob became an instant classic.

* '''Played For Drama:''' The title sequence shows the hero reigning as a valiant king to contrast how the show is about his life of slavery and suffering after being deposed.
