Not sure why you are asking here. The Trope Finder is a better place.

- Fan Dumb: Rising has been criticized for its over-the-top Cyborg technology making Metal Gear's Shared Universe too fantastic, despite the series already prominently featuring Humongous Mecha, psychics, vampires, ghosts, Nanomachines and a villain that controlled bees. And the fact that the technology to let someone do that was already available as wearable armor 9 years before the game even takes place!
Alright, this is always a contentious entry, and it may be better just to leave it out while the game is fresh in people's minds and tempers are running hot. But: for those that have an issue with this, is there a way that it can be changed that would make you find this entry more acceptable?

Easy. Add "in the early days of its release" to the beginning, and context is applied.
I was thinking of adding "Cerebus Retconn" in terms of Mistral in the Bladewolf DLC, but that wouldn't exactly be right, since it's canon and not a readjustment. Is there another trope I could use to describe this effect?
The intended comment was: "Mistral is this in the Bladewolf DLC. There is no mistaking that she is cold and cruel, but in the main game there was a lot of intrigue to her that made it unclear whether she could really be considered the terrible kind of person the other Winds are and she seemed more capable of sympathy with and from Raiden than they were. The Bladewolf DLC shows her being noticeably and more openly crueler, perhaps to make her easier to justify as being with Desperado."
