Basic Trope: A re-release of an earlier work is changed to make it more appealing to newer audiences.
- Straight: A re-release of Tropetown has extra CGI effects and lighting adjustments.
- Exaggerated: The re-release has all of the above, as well as extra scenes, CGI extras for the police shootout, an accurate night sky of 1987 (when the film is set) and a more bombastic soundtrack.
- Downplayed: The re-release removes the obvious glass glare when Bob falls into a pit of pirahnas.
- Justified:
- The movie was unfinished, with crude effects everywhere.
- The original was drowning in Executive Meddling.
- Inverted: The rerelease removes many scenes from the film.
- Subverted:
- The title logo on the intro is different, but that's it.
- It turns out the "rerelease" is actually a Stealth Sequel, advertised as an updated version as a marketing stunt.
- Double Subverted: The CGI cops appear in the scene after the intro.
- Parodied: The entire cast is replaced with duplicates of The Scrappy.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: The rerelease changes nothing.
- Enforced: "Look, if we want kids to view our movie and not see it as some old rubbish, then we better update everything!"
- Lampshaded: "Gee, those cops look awfully shiny. Must be new in town."
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: Some E-Bay resellers jack up the prices of the original Trope Town, in hopes that fans will be willing to pay more to have it exactly like it was in theaters.
- Defied: The creator refuses to change anything to his show' rerelease feeling that any changes would ruin it.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Implied: "Next month, Bob Tropesmith will release a new edition of Tropetown as you've never seen before."
- Deconstructed: The fans are even more angry at the creator for updating the film and replacing the old version.
- Reconstructed: The original Tropetown was racist to the point where if it was released today, it would have gotten lambasted. To appease fans while bringing in a new generation, the creators placed the original uncut version in the bonuses section with a warning about how the morals of what was acceptable today is wildly different from the past.
