Clueless Aesop - TV Tropes. Mamma mia!! How are we- a gonna explain thisone to the kiddies?!? There are many, many cases where a well- meaning show for children tries to explain a newsworthy issue.

Sadly, the characters just usually end up way out of their comfort zone and the message often goes way over the poor kids' heads, often because it's so different from the normal tone of the show. Any attempt to tackle serious subject matter honestly is problematic when the Moral Guardians are watching. This is often because many attempts to deal with such serious subject matter will usually have said Guardians responding with outrage at its mere inclusion!

Yes, even if you are explicitly attempting to discourage it. It's hard to tell kids . Likewise, gun safety is an improbable issue to address when everyone packs a laser gun or something. Most infamously, drug abuse isn't easy to deal with when you can't quantify why you shouldn't use drugs, or when you can't even acknowledge that drugs exist. While there can be some crossover, Broken Aesops are lessons undermined by the action within the show (e. Now, let's go back to fighting monsters! It's just that the lesson is handled in such a compressed time, in a manner that is so laughable (or even offensive), or is presented in such an out- there or age- inappropriate show that it ultimately ends up warped.

The typical reaction is Don't Shoot the Message. See also some examples of And Knowing Is Half the Battle, Very Special Episode, Do Not Do This Cool Thing, and You Can Panic Now. Drugs Are Bad and Too Smart for Strangers are especially prone to this. Compare Lost Aesop, which tries to set up an Aesop but forgets about it by the end.

Please don't use this page to complain about Aesops you don't like. In truth, they were really unsubtle advertisements for the company's products. These were often heartwarmingly/hilariously/heartbreakingly misguided. One of the most infamous such lesson plans doubles as a Broken Aesop: . Unfortunately, because they set their slogan not to start at the eraser end but at the lead end of the pencil, as it was sharpened the slogan devolved on the pencil from the original message, down to . Only trouble is anyone who has seen the movie knows Rick is actually angry at Ilsa for resisting the Nazis! So WB is comparing themselves to..

While not as uncomfortable in terms of subtext, the one where The Wizard of Oz yells at Dorothy and company for, er, pirating media is pretty terrible too. It shows a man in various social situations, taking food off of other people's plates, nibbling it, and giving back, while he denies that he's hungry. It supposed to be about how you are in denial if you say you only smoke socially, but without being told the Aesop at the end, it could just as easily be about how you should buy your own packs instead of bumming them, as one could do this and still insist they only smoke socially. There's one about .

Around that exact same time, they ran a network promo depicting a kid being left alone on a baseball field, because all of his friends are in the living room watching Nick. The message was . Leaving aside the ludicrous comparison of a fish's suffering to a human's, what restaurant in its right mind would prepare a fish while it's still alive?

But rather than focusing on the reasonable example of warring factions (such as Sasuke seemingly killing Killer Bee, which prompted the Raikage to seek revenge), most of the attention goes to the traditional loner villains like Orochimaru or Obito who have no or next to no relationship ties to make the cycle take place at all. Just about every Akatsuki member is in it for themselves so the death of any one member only means a new position has opened up; despite how close Kabuto is to Orochimaru it's only really oriented professionally, as Orochimaru's death only prompts Kabuto to snatch up some research notes and try to copy and eventually surpass Orochimaru's achievements in Mad Science; and even Madara was considered an extremist by the other Uchiha. The moral is most strongly brought up in reference to Sasuke, but the people who care about him the most know he's a dangerous criminal and aren't ones to go seeking revenge for his death either.

Di. C tried to shoehorn an Aesop to the end of every episode whether it fit or not. A favorite was . Paul and Ash had frequent disagreements, only to have other characters lecture Ash about how they should try to overlook their differences, because everyone is different and has their own ways of doing things which should be respected. Paul, however, was extremely aggressive without provocation and was also particularly cruel to his Pok. So, where is this education we're supposed to get?

The demon in question was established to be merely a consequence of the misery in the area, which was caused by far more complex causes, but it was very very easy to interpret the story as . At least Marvel gave the proceeds of the comic to charity. Addressing real- life disasters is hard in a comic that's so big on bringing people Back from the Dead.

The way it was handled makes most people see it as a depressing story about a lonely girl who only wanted to have friends getting subjected to emotional harassment and manipulation by a bunch of Christian zealots, until she turns into a brainwashed drone. Which is all very well and good, but many reviewers and critics (such as several members of the discussion here) pointed out that it's pretty clear that Alan Moore also has little to no idea or interest in what's actually going on in twenty- first century popular culture and fiction. Moore himself has been vocal about his lack of engagement with a lot of central elements of modern popular culture (such as the internet and contemporary cinema); accordingly, unlike previous volumes of the series, there are few direct references to contemporary culture and fiction, and many of those that are present are inaccurate, questionable or still somewhat outdated (as in hailing from or being more relevant to the 1. This means that for many readers the work is less of the searing indictment of contemporary fiction and culture it was intended to be, and more of Alan Moore coming off as a bit of a Grumpy Old Mancomplaining about things he doesn't really understand or care about. Civil War. The event attempted to depict a Grey and Gray Morality conflict over a Super Registration Act, but did so in a setting that had always universally held the opinion that such things were unambiguously bad.

Further, Mark Millar and Marvel editorial expected the readers to side with the Pro- Registration side, depicting them as, ultimately, the more reasonable side. Yet they also had the Pro- Regs doing monstrous things like throwing people into the Negative Zone or threatening heroes into compliance. So we're supposed to root for them as they commit horrible crimes and prove the Anti- Registration's argument about the SHRA being fascist?

Compounding this was the fact that many of the writers disagreed about which side was supposed to be right, leading to loads of Armed with Canon fights. One book would have Iron Man stopping an extremist Anti- Reg vigilante, only for another to have him casually imprisoning innocent people in the Negative Zone. Fantastic was given three different reasons for being on the Pro- Reg side. The overall sense of the moral/plot is that nobody really knew how to handle it. The problem with .

And the problem with asking if the world . At best, such stories will end with . Such stories also suffer from Fantastic Aesop—obviously the world doesn't literally . You can certainly argue that certain problems in the world today could benefit from powerful and/or incorruptible heroes to curb them, but at the same time comics are usually Like Reality Unless Noted anyway—so they aren't even solving those problems in their worlds.
