YMMV / Fake News Rumble

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • One of the groups of heroes battle a giant possessed Conan O'Brien. This was posted right around the time of the Late Night scandal.
  • Brian Williams' power of 'Gravitas' comes across very differently now, as he has lost much credibility in the eyes of many news viewers after a scandal in which it came out that he had lied about having been in a helicopter that was forced to land due to being under enemy fire while reporting in Iraq, and possibly embellishing other news stories as well.
• Ho Yay: The apocalypse is happening; what's Jon's first move? Find Stephen. What's Stephen's? Find Jon.
  • Stephanos and Yonatan, full-stop. Stephen teases Yonatan about it.
• Inferred Holocaust: Monsters have run rampant in New York for hours, if not days, and there have been multiple giant explosions by the end of the story, but the Happy ending ignores the many deaths this may have caused.
• Tear Jerker: Yonatan’s death.
  • Fortunately, not a permanent one.
• The Woobie: Yonatan. Poor guy only became evil because his best friend did.
