Basic Trope: A work that seems like it is deconstructing a trope when it is when the trope originated from:
- Straight: In The Empire Strikes Back it's revealed that Vader is Luke's father yet to todays viewers it may come off as a deconstruction, due to Luke being confused as to why Obi-Wan didn't tell him at first, and it having major ramifications for the plot.
- Exaggerated: ???
- Downplayed: ???
- Justified: As the main page notes: "at the time there was no trope to deconstruct, just an interesting idea to explore; it wasn't expected to conform to a certain pattern because the pattern had not yet been established"
- Inverted: Once Original, Now Common
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted:
- Parodied: ???
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
