Line 75:
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': These tend to deconstruct the whole [[Gender Bender]]/[[Shapeshifting]], by overplaying the mental stress these put on the characters straight, and not for fun. Their over the top flaws from the manga (Ryoga and orientation, Ranma and socializing etc.) are used too. [[Downer Ending|Usually this ends with a massive downer]].
** ''[[The Key to a Successful Interview]]'', another Sage of Toads work, takes the ''[[Beautiful Destroyer Sailor Moon]]'' route, with additional [[Troll Fic]] and [[Revenge Fic]] elements. Notably, it also gives Ranma and Akane a much better first impression.
** ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130119014542/http://pixelscapes.com/twoflower/fanfic/TheEnds.txt The Ends]'' by Twoflower is meant to be "my farewell to Ranma ½, and my condemnation of it". It rips the very things needed to maintain the madcap comedy of the series to shreds, particularly the idea that it could result in a concrete, satisfying ending.
** ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5966741/1/Dutiful_Child Dutiful Child]'' by Luan Mao takes the "give the characters exactly what they want, in all its suck" route. There's an element of [[Fix Fic]], but it's also a bitter breakdown of what kind of manliest man would result from Ranma's childhood.
* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' has gained a few:
Line 186:
* ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'': Deconstruction of Cosmo and Wanda's failing relationship. [[Genie in a Bottle|Norm the Genie]] being shown in a sympathetic light. The [[Morality Tropes]] of the show.
** [[The Movie]] is a [[Deconstruction]] of the ''very premise of the show''. Timmy's 23, still has his fairy godparents, and is still in the fifth grade. If you had Fairy God Parents, why would you do anything to give them up? Especially when you can wish away any of the negative events that could happen if you do.
* ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]'': [http://sites.google.com/site/fatimasgrfanfic/gr-fanfic Pairbond]{{Dead link}} deconstructs the [[Mindlink Mates]] trope. Goose and Niko resort to it as a survival tactic as they're outmanned and outgunned by renegade Supertroopers, it skirts the finer edge of breaking Xanadau's highest law ("One's Mind Belongs To One's Self"), and Goose's background as an [[Artificial Human]] [[Tyke Bomb|trained from decant]] [[Super Soldier]] makes his thought process ''very'' alien and disturbing.
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'':
** Some stories have her [[Black and White Morality|clear "beat the bad guys, save the world" morality]] crashing against the intractable problems of the world, leading her to crack up or go rogue. Others have her [[Evil Counterpart]] Shego explain moral relativism to her.
Line 196:
** [[The Sun Is Tired]]: Takes the favourite fandom sawhorse of Celestria being a tyrant and beats it up by showing how a good ruler could get that image ([[Indecisive Deconstruction|At first]]).
** The [[Pony POV Series]] is a rather intresting deconstruction. It deconstructs many things in the series, such as the fact Scootaloo doesn't have any know family {{spoiler|being explained by [[Parental Abandonment]]}}, Diamond Tiara being an [[Alpha Bitch]] being due to a horrible home life, Pinkie Pie having a nasty [[Split Personality]] disorder, and the primary focus of the story being that the [[World-Healing Wave]] following Discord's defeat ''didn't'' fix the ponies he [[Mind Raped]] all the way. It's intresting in that {{spoiler|it ultimately becomes a [[Reconstruction]] and the characters ultimately end up ''better'' than before as a result.}}
** The [[Broken Base|divisive]] "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E08 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|Mysterious Mare-Do-Well]]" episode has already inspired three of these in less than a week of its premiere: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7598776/1/No_Hard_Feelings These] [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/12/story-whats-eating-rainbow-dash.html fanfics], and [http://chadrocco.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Pony-Lessons-Learned-271885281?q=gallery%3Achadrocco%2F93309&qo=0 this]{{Dead link}} [[Fan Art]] from [[Familiar Faces|Chad Rocco]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20131008040920/http://yuki-orin.deviantart.com/#/d4l40x9 Now make that four.]
** ''[[RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse|Rainbow Double Dashs Lunaverse]]'' uses the alternate perspective of Trixie and her universe's Element-bearers to reexamine the canon Mane Six. Nothing changes about their personalities, but the results are very different:
*** Applejack's concern that the Apple Family/Trust will collapse at any minute is shown to be so much nonsense due to its size and virtual monopoly on apples in Equestria.
