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: ???
