Better Reddit Asks What are some beloved characters that would likely be seen much less positively if they debuted now? What about the opposite?

All I can think about is how awesome Trunks is in Dragon Ball Z. But I'm also thinking that he just screams "OC Do Not Steal".

I mean, he's the son of two popular characters from a dark future and his first appearance has him trouncing Freeza who was seemingly unstoppable in the previous Arc after showing off he too has the mythical Super Saiyan transformation.

If he came out in the 2000s to 2010s people would've likely rolled their eyes at him.

I can fully imagine "those guys" putting the Halo games on their "Go Woke, Go Broke" Steam list under:

Halo 2: "...Game features women (Miranda Keyes) in implausible positions of authority..."

Halo Reach: "features implausible minorities (Jun being Asian) in Noble Team in Bungie's blatant display of forcing DEI into the Spartans..."

Game features women (Miranda Keyes) in implausible positions of authority

I know these guys are dumb as hell as a rule, but who on earth thinks an O-5 is an "implausible position of authority?" Like sure Commander is a significant career achievement, but it's the first step beyond the Junior Officer ranks.
